Due to increased housing in the vicinity I have removed this cache to avoid arising suspicion with all the new neighbours.
 
17-May-15
I will go and check this one out. Might be time for a change as the surrounding location has changed quite a bit since I placed this cache and now maybe not so good to access. Will check it out over the next couple of weeks. What this space.!

Nice cache. It's starting to get a bit damp inside. Suspect it needs a better sealing container.

A quest with the family. This cache is very near where my brother lives, he was instrumental in finding this one as I am not familiar with Rotorua. A clever hide and an interesting dry detention basin. No trouble with the blackberry but had to watch the dog do [v]

This lovely sunny day found us cruising the 'hood looking for a likely path. Finally settled on a nicely concreted drive that turned out to be quite the right one. Braved the brambles coming in behind the cache and finally discovered the rock. So nice to find a good sized cache. In TB Sadie dog. TFTC

Made the short walk to GZ via the empty section and the unmarked walkway. Arrived at GZ and lined myself up with where i needed to be and couldn't find the cache. Was just about to head back to the car when i spotted something else that needed checking. Yep, it was the cache and nicely camo'd. Loved the effort you put into the camo! TFTC! Big Grin

Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin 150th cache for the Rhodzrunners Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin.... and what an experience... the prize was firmly in hand easily due to the trodden down flora surrounding the cache. Mrs Rhodzrunner, meanwhile, waited in the car with Miss 5 & Sleeping Miss 17mo, she was reading Twilight when she heard the words "Allo Allo Allo who do we have here then?" [:o] (well not quite those words but I am claiming Poetic license here), seems the local constabulary was passing by and although a new car, the new Rhodesmobile does have tinted windows... once it was explained what we were up to they took no more notice and they left, although we did look over our shoulders for the rest of the day Wink

Well, here was an opportunity to visit this new subdivision the earthmovers had been labouring on, it seemed to have been the last 5 years. A bit of an anticlimax.

Like others I just had to follow the geotrail. Maybe the lovely rock could have been happier in the open, although considering the activities of juvenile muggles, maybe wiser not. Interesting that this deep gully existed just above Lynmore. but I thought the huge pile of rocks a bit of an overkill. TNLN. TFTC.
