I have an afternoon caching in and around Pukekohe and whilst some more of the Crayola series are in my sights theres also some trads to collect along the way. After a nighttime DNF here a few months ago a daytime visit gave far better results as I was able to spot the cache as I explored one of a few corners. Thanks thejaybees#5376Logged using Cachly.

All good now.

I have the log book at home and I see that most people do not sign the log so if you do not sign I will delete your log. Thanks nufrat for tipping out the water.

Out for a couple of days.

I have attempted this one several times but always been a lot of people around, today there was only me, cache was full of water so dried it out before hiding it in its spot, tftc

Very easy bylut very well hidden good spot

With a bit of spare time in Pukekohe this evening I put the time to good use to take a tiki tour and pick off some caches. Hmmm. Not many places to hide a cache here I feel. No luck for me tonight. Thanks thejaybees#5272Logged using Cachly.

We are here on a short break from Australia with Wilbert67. This is one of the caches we found on the trip and we thank you for showing us this place. TFTC

First day caching in New Zealand. Parkrun first , straight of the plane last night. Quick and easy finds so far.TFTC Wilbert67

Thanks to CailleachHs help this was quickly in my hand

I'm back in NZ and after logging this one in Aug 2023, I dropped a trackable travel bug into it that is still showing as being in the cache.I checked today and unfortunately, it is not there. Wondering if the next cachers found it, removed it and forgot to log it.Very surprised that this one has not been found since 07/04/23. It's still there.

Interesting building, tftc!

Made me think, good hide as usual

My last for today. It's well hidden but surprised it hasn't been found since last month. Container had water in it .
I left a golf ball I found on my walk today but more importantly a Travel Bug that has travelled all the way from the North of Scotland. Hopefully it will be found soon and taken on its travels again.

Nice cache for my WE walk in Puke. Thanks for the cache.

Heading back towards motorway, grabbing a few more caches on our way. Thanks for cache.

Lid is cracked, I’ve added a waterproof new log and new baggie, noted the lid is cracked so placed it back upside down.
Thanks

Nice easy find. Log wet. We added a piece of note paper.

Log really wet

Needs maintenence container is full of water so didn't sign log

Found it quickly after we located the correct corner. Log was wet, needs replacing. TFTC

Once we found the right corner, it was easy to find. Out in the dark so starting to get challenging. Tftc

Nice easy park and grab here for this big cache.
TFTC

A nice quick find thanks. I had to dodge a huge doggie jobbie close to the cache.

Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Today we did a little cruising around to the Franklin area. Will this long hot summer never end?

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Hurry up and find me

Thanks for your amazing cache.
Even waterproof paper is suffering

Found whilst out with keylev and friends.

Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev and friends.

Thanks for the cache.

Tftc, appreciate the cache!

Out and about with cragger, laval and B4Dawn. Had planned a nice walk but the weather was not playing ball so we decided some drive by caches would be a better option.

Quick find but log full of water which we poured out.

Thanks for the cache.

Found it!! Made the kids day

Out caching in the area.
A quick jump of the fence and soon had it in hand.

Tftc

Easy find after a long absence of geocaching.

Back up and available

On hold for a few weeks.

Passing through and picked up.
Cache in good condition.

Previous DNF for us a few years ago. Turned it into a smiley

Awesome hide - thanks.

We parked right beside GZ and fortunately the traffic wasn’t too busy but there was still enough to make stealth very important. The container was quickly located nicely tucked away.
Thanks thejaybees for the cache and the historical information.

Awesome hide

Headed South with Merlot and Pazza today for a caching trip on the shortest day of the year. After a short search the cache was located. We emptied out the water before replacing it.

Pazza2, Jag50 and I headed South Auckland way to find a few caches. While the others looked in one corner, I looked in another and found the cache

A quick P & G on our Shortest Saturday Southern Side caching. Tftc

Decided to take a break from my studies and spend the day out caching. I offered to also take out my 2 nephews and niece along with me. We decided to head out to Pukekohe after picking up my nephew in Opaheke.

Parked right beside GZ. Checked a few spots before finding the cache. There was quite a bit of water in the cache, so emptied that out. Rescued the TB.

Someone tooted at me as I was walking into the corner. Didn’t look up quick enough to spot the driver. Hmm - mystery.

With time to spare before I had to head to the airport and home, I continued to wander around Pukekohe finding a few caches along the way. Good spot for the cache. Drove past the newer, flasher community venue on my way. This one certainly still has character though. Found cache in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

A bit easy to find, thanks annyways.

Found it,went into carpark by mistake but got there in the end

Visiting NZ and found it!

Hard but good

Found on a family walk. Forgot my pen, have to run back later.

On a day trip to Pukekohe, we decided to stop off to get a few caches. Found this one nice and easy. The cache had water in it, but the logbook was safe in its little bag. We emptied the water out and replaced it. TFTC

Found it

Tracked this one down with my niece today. Lovely find and great spot. Thanks for the find.

Good find

While staying with some friends in Pukekohe I figured I'd go on a small excursion to clean up my map. So happy this one was replaced after my previous DNF. This time the cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to a good hint and a straight forward placement. Cheers thejaybees, TFTC

Thanks!

Final dash round Pukekohe! Interesting bit of history. TFTC

Good instructions went straight to it TFTC a good day caching

Geocaching day in Pukekohe. This part of the town visited on my bike. Easy find at GZ. Hint not needed TFTC

Cache replaced. Please hide behind the thing that was in front of it or the gardner will destroy it.

Out and about for a big day of caching, I’m aiming to get at 30 caches today and FMZ has decided to join me for a small adventure.

Got the parking wrong on this one, I pulled into the parking area beside the building but still had to jump the fence to get to the cache, (wrong corner) never mind, it was a quick find regardless. FMZ has done this one.

It has been taken. Will replace soon at same spot.

Dnf for us today..

oops, another reason to return - cheers thejaybees.

Wonderful weather today so I decided to make a Little trip to Pukekohe and do some Geocaches.
Nice and quick find here!
Thanks for hiding!

I was in the area for a hockey tournament, had some time between games. Should have read the description more thoroughly first, as the GPS led me to a place I didn’t need to be. Which wasn’t a problem, ‘cos I had a good look around before making the find. All good here, signed and returned. TFTC

Easy find, nice cache

Soon found in the place the hint suggested!
Interesting old building...
Thanks thejaybees

Nice easy find last one for the day

Tftc for the nice wee hide found with abcdf4

Nice quick find after a slight re-location.

Nice easy find container wet inside

Inside of container is wet.

2nd geocache found. Introduced the Mrs, she isn’t convinced!

Nice easy find but might need a new container. Lid cracked

This was a nice and easy find Tftc

Found together with Greenkiwikids to earn a souvenir (The last cache of 2017). Found a TB as well. Grabbed it. Nicely hidden cache, tftc.

On the way home from work nice little drive by.

From the Netherlands on holiday in NA. With my cousin geocaching in Pukekohe. Found this ons. Logrol was wet en nearly full. But great fun

Nice easy park and grab

Great hiding place and great cache but disappointedly we found a doggy poopy bag on top of the cache , a little gross but oh well. The cache did have a little bit of water damage to it, great find

Bratstar01 and I are in Puke so thought we'd stop in and get a few caches ticked off (some she has already found and I have not). I enjoyed the hints for this one. Was a nice and easy find. Just as I had replaced the Cache I turned to find two four legged muggles coming over to say 'Hello' great find.

All good here

Nice and easy park n grab. Signed and replaced as it was. TFTC and the info on the hall.. always wondered what it was.

Found

Found nice park n grab

2897 Had stopped once before but it must have been when it was on holiday. On my way back from Waiuku so stopped and had a quick find. Thanks for replacing.

Kelly found

cache replaced. For goodness sake take some time to hide it properly.

Need to fix.

Pulled up, started searching, no luck, checked logs and realised it had gone.

We could not find it then saw the logs.
