Due to increased housing in the vicinity I have removed this cache to avoid arising suspicion with all the new neighbours.
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.
Really liked the cache itself, clever craftsmanship.. Easy to find once we took the right path.. Thanks for the cache
Short walk from where we were staying with friends who did not know about the structure, so it was quite a surprise! Great cache and hide.
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]

Was just about to give up....then decided to give one more shot and bingo....great caching thanks
Interesting excursion. Appreciated good walking shoes, would have liked long trousers to protect from blackberry.
Visiting the area for a spot of fishing & hopefully a few caches too. Loved the camo on this one. TFTC Logged as part of the 12-12-12 challenge
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
Great little walk along to GZ, not too wet considering the off and on showers and cache was soon located. Like the effort that went into the concealment. TFTC
Found with my fabulous gorgeous wonderful intelligent fabulous friend (and she is NOT writing this herself) mineemo, glad to be out and about again even though still on crutches! Thanks
Easy find, great place, friend (with crutches) braved it, lives very close by! thanks
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!
Nice quick find. I only found one of the three tbs that were ment to be there so I picked it up. TFTC
I found this one before my fiancee' and triumphantly waved it at him with pride. I am the beginner, he is an expert ha ha
Hint worked well. Certainly was out of place. Logbook damp but useable. An interesting dam. Am still considering its purpose. Left Red Cat trackable. TFTC

Found after short search while out and about the area, having visited "Whispa & Ozzy" at Wingspan this morning, TFTC
8D cool area didnt even know about this place till now and ive lived here like forever!
Followed the GPS directions and walked down someone's drive. Came to a brick wall and a steep bank. Fell down naturally... found the cache and struggled to get back up again. A back of beyond location. TFTC.

Thanks for this cache in a very interesting area. Clever hide, covered it a bit better.
15:45 Interesting container. Glad we picked a fine day to do this one Cheers, GC
The dam was empty. Easy find. Took some TB along for the ride to visit the cache. TFTC
Pity about the elephant tracks. Nice bit of Lynmore I've never seen before.
TFTC. Need some more GC's in Rotorua as nearly done them all on visits back to home city.

Nice hide. Took me about 8 min to find. Lots of geotrail tracks. Out - TB, kiwi, fish. In - marble, PSP strap, super glue, gold ring.
Fell into the trap of 'thats the obvious place' due to other cachers footprints then hubby took another look and ,bingo. Great camo, well done Agogo. Pity the wandering dew tramps down so easily, it catches the eye a bit. Excellent hide tho'..
Unusual area... TBs are missing in the cache. Dropping one off that wants to stay in NZ. Next time I cache I will hopefully be in Oz!
Nice quiet spot for a cache. Good hint and co-ords spot on. Nice to find a good sized cache so had to retreat to the van and grab a couple of TB's to drop off. TFTCSL
Nice find. GPS got a bit balky under the canopy, but found the cache pretty easily. Great afternoon after lots of rain in the morning.
150th cache for the Rhodzrunners .... 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
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.

3951 Cool little spot, didn't even know this subdivision was here nor this dam. Thanks for the chance to visit the area. TFTC
