Found the location and geocaching card but container and log missing

Found the paper about caching, but container and log is missing. So needs maintenance.

Container missing

#804The cache has scuppered but found the laminated slip of paper that was inside so I think it's OK to log the find. Met a friendly ginger cat on the way out which was a purrrfect end to the day.

Uiuiui - it seems that the peanut butter jar is not anymore here. There was just the geocache sign on the earth by the tree. So please the next geocacher brings a jar and a paper. Greetings from Switzerland

Never even knew this park existed! Thank you for the hide

We needed to drop GeohoundandI off at the Intercity bus early this morning so called here on the way home. What a steep hill that was especially before 9am on a Sunday.A quick easy find, the cache was clearly visible, and replaced in the same spot.

Checking out the lights on Franklin we did a detour to collect this cache. Fun. Thanks.

Cool hide. TFTC

Thank you

Bei einem walk durch Auckland dieser kleine Dose schnell mitgenommen. Tftc

Started a racing geocoin in this cache for any willing travelers, and picked up a pair of others. Tftc!

3rd for the day. TFTC

Greetings from Canberra, Australia! This is very close to our accommodation which we arrived at last night. I came for a short walk whilst the others were having a rest and as I started, it began to rain. Classic NZ! I searched the wrong tree at first but the second tree presented with the goods. I may come back here once the rain has stopped to drop off one of the TBs that I brought overseas. TFTC!

I'm visiting New Zealand for a tour around the country . I have already visited many places on the North Island and on the South Island. Now I'm staying in Auckland for my last days in NZ. While enjoying the sightseeing I also visit some caches. This is one of them. Thank you for showing me the place and thank you for the cache . Greetings from Switzerland .

Quick find on a lovely Auckland afternoon - dropped off a trackable I picked up in Blenheim!

Found it great hide

School holidays and time for a road trip to Auckland to visit family. This morning meeting up with a friend in Freeman Bay and arrived early. Well might as well collected some nearby caches. Nice stroll in the park with the geohound and a quick find. Cache and log all fine. Thanks Zork V for the smiley

It's the stash of the holidays and I'm in Auckland visiting family and hanging out with my daughters. While they were shopping I thought id go pick up a few caches. It was a slippery climb up to the cache but a quick find. Nice hide.

Easy find with the help of the hint. Somehow there are many logs in this cache.
Thanks for hiding and maintaing. Tftc

Good spot

Luckily, the Muggles close by didn’t notice me rummaging around in the bushes.
Put in a koala magnet I brought over from Oz. I hope it makes someone happy.

Horrible experience being swarmed by mosquitoes looking for the cache, but worth it in the end

Didn't have a pen but made a trade, cache and it's contents in good condition!

TFTC <3

Lovely walk after a course this evening, thanks for the nice cache and park.

Cool place, out for a post Christmas walk found this

What a lovely reserve TFTC

Not sure why we have not found this cache before now, and as the place seemed a litle familiar I couldn't help wondering if we had attempted to find this one in the dim distant past. Initially I chose the wrong speciment to search around. When I checked out the other one I soon spied what I was looking for. Nice to add another Zork V cache to our Finds, thanks.

Up from Chch for a few days to see how AKL caches. Great little park for the walk back Ponsonby. Met a nice kitty too.

Found

M24: spent a bit of time on this and realized, barked up the wrong tree, oh well...
Found the cache, and it adds Team Sharkbait's total finds to 1800! Whoo!
A nice cache to achieve that milestone, now gotta get up to 1900. TFTC.

found it! easy once i knew where to look.

Indicr et coordonnées parfaites, je découvre Auckland

Dropping off TBs while visiting friends across the road

After not reading the map correctly and going to entirely the wrong park, this was a very quick, easy find. It's been a while, so it's good to know that my caching competence is still ok.

Spent about ten minutes barking up the wrong tree before widening the search. Another beautiful park in Auckland. TFTC!

TFTC. Nice and easy find here. Never been to the park so nice to visit.

Found easy enough with no one around. Tftc

After 3 DNFs and a cut thumb I was finally happy to find a cache. First time to this little park. Tftc

Called in for this one as it was on my route, and had a trackable inside, though I now see I've recently discovered it online having seen it in a GeoRick Youtube video. Anyway, parked lower down and headed to GZ for a nice easy and quick find here, thanks Zork V.

Although todays weather forecast was for a wet and wild stormy day with showers and strong winds, It looked like the morning would be OK, and I hoped that people would be put off from going outdoors. And so it was, nice and quiet out and about on the trails. I had a few plans and target caches, and hoped to get my supernannny finds by CO up to treble, mission was possible. A bit muddy and slippery underfoot, hope those water dams are full now! and I managed to face-plant (my phone) in the mud at one GZ!! A bakers dozen of finds and managed to beat the rain- yay. Thanks to all COs for their caches.

Nice quick find and left a trackable for the next finder. TFTC!

Nearby today, so I came quickly to grab the cache.

Found it very quickly and in a good state, I did a small clean up of it’s rubbish contents though.

Thanks!

Wasn’t sure I would find it but glad I did! Lots of trades inside and lucky for me even a felt pen. Signed and replaced TFTC

17 June 2021 19:13. Number 9798. Wandering back to the hotel, muttering to myself, "Why am I doing this, I hate night caching!" That said, this was a Quick find even in the dark, thanks to the excellent hint! TFTC.

It was really quite dark in the park, but not frightening (so no Iron Maiden references required). Once I found the junction in the track by phone light I climbed up, reaching GZ. I could hear voices from the residential block beyond but they didn't sound too close, so I took a chance, while still trying to be stealthy, and quickly found the cache. Bit of a struggle to juggle my phone, the cache container, and signing the log with only two hands, but eventually got there and replaced the cache. All good here, and TFTC

This is such a nice little park, never knew it was here before. Quick find here, all good with the container and contents, no muggles around despite the sunny Wednesday morning. TFTC

A mew muggles around, didn't take long to find when I got the chance. Tftc

A quick find in a little suburban CBD park. Lots of hills today so getting a good workout. Thanks Zork

Quick find. Tftc.

Well hidden.

After visiting the record fair I decided to wander back to the car via this park, a slightly extended route but it seemed worthwhile because of the cache. Nice little park, located the cache all safe and sound. Thank you!

Nice cache found close to my home

Nice little park. TFTC

All good on a big caching walk here
Lovely autumn leaves .

Those log books were like a window through time! Top shelf stuff indeed! -LJS

Hmm, what could that hint mean in a park? All was made clear as I approached, and then the cache was a quick find. Thanks for the hide .

Quickly found in a deserted park. Grabbed TB and dropped another. Visiting from Dunedin. Tftc

A bit of spare time this morning to collect one or two caches.Parked up nearby and took a short stroll to the cache.Made a nice quick find here thanks to the hint without managing to disturb the tramp who was fast asleep not too far away.Now back up the hill.Might have time for one more find.

Made our way to this nice little park where the clue helped us have our hands soon on the cache - left a TB that we brought from the UK that was trying to get to NZ TFTC

I couldn't leave anything but I've taken the unicorn for traveling with him/her to Europe (starting from Spain).Thanks for the cache!!

In Auckland CBD today to finalize my Adventure Lab cache. Took my bike with me. It was a challenge in some places but enjoyed so much! Good test for my bike breaks near GZ! All good here & TFTC.

Easy find. Tftc

another quick find on a cooking hot day

Out with the crew waiting for the sun to go down before viewing the lights on Franklin Rd. A nice easy find here in a great little park, TFTC!

TFTC

In the area today after dropping EIR-0T off in town to catch up with friends, so before heading home decided to take a look for a few caches.

This being one of them.

TFTC.

Up visiting family and this was close to where we were staying. Only 80 metres away so would be rude not to go find it. Tftc.

Mmmmm peanut butter on a Sunday morning..... and dropping off Treasure X Trackable- Thanks x

Wow... That was a quick find and log...

Thank you for the cache

After meeting up with a former work colleague that I hadn't seen for some years, I went off to find a few caches before I had to head back to my hotel. I seem to recall trying to find this cache some time ago without success. I think I was fixating on the wrong hint object. Today I picked the correct one and the cache was in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

#825. A quick find on my way home tonight. It took a little bit of walking around to see where I was supposed to be, but even from a distance you can see exactly where it is hidden - so that helps!

It was surprisingly steep after rain and earned its terrain rating today that's for sure.

Thank you for the cache! TB Out.

GPS position was a bit off on my phone, but managed to find the cache thanks to the hint!
In: 1 TB

I've been here before but couldn't find it. My GPS was way off. I took heed of the hint and bingo! I also found part of the log stuck in a tree so have put that back in the container. TFTC

Nice place to visit
All good here
Thanks!

Found as a part of a previous group TanjackMüley, aka WanderingSparrow. Now I'm continuing on my own. TFTC

Easy find in another nice hidden reserve in Auckland. Tftc

Nachdem alles organisatorische erledigt war, ging es noch an den Cache des Tages. Dank Hint konnte der auch blitzschnell gefunden werden und dann stand ich auch schon im Logbuch

Ein Abschluss GC hier in Auckland bevor es morgen nachhause geht...
Dieser hier war dank des Hinweis rasch gefunden und geloggt.
TFDC und Grüsse aus old

Another nice reserve discovered thanks to geocaching.

Thanks for brining me here Zork V.

In an attempt to fill in a few more days in February, we grabbed one cache before midnight and this one after midnight on our way home from a dinner party. Stumbling around in jandals, is in the dark, after a few glasses of wine may not be the recommended way to find this cache but find it we did. A lovely large cache. Unfortunately we didn't bring any swaps tonight. Removed a lollipop to prevent a sticky ant infested cache in the future. TFTC.

Places like these epitomises why I love geocaching. Discovering small, secluded, secret spaces that I usually wouldn't have explored. Easily found with the help of Vanjeans and a good hint. TFTC

For our Christmas vacations, we stay for two days in Hong Kong and then two weeks in New Zealand : a lot of geocaches are on our way, including that one !
Geocaching : a good opportunity to discover the area.

Merci beaucoup pour cette cache !
Thank you very much for this cache !

Tried for this twice last year but juggle always present. Today no one was around. Very helpful hint.
Tftf

Nice ride on our lime scooters to get here

Found after a short search, logging in field, TFTC.

Checked out hint to no avail.

This cache was so cool! The hint really helped me! I love the stuff in it, too! I gave some stuff to it!

Yay

Found it! Nice way to send my lunch. Thanks

Found with BoertjieRSA. Greetings from South Africa.
Thanks for the cache.

From Pretoria South Africa.

Found with VinnigeVoete.

Thanks/Dankie for rhe cache.

Already found caches in 15 countries/Islands

Found it during a tour through Auckland. Thanks for the cache!

A bit difficult to find, but it is a very good looking small park

Great job. TFTC

Nice, quick find and well presented cache. Love seeing larger ones (well, anything that isn’t a micro...) in the CBD area! Interior was dry but I replaced the ziploc bag since the bottom had split. Found an interesting blank silver coin and left a mini rubix. TFTC

TFTC. A quick wander in the rain to find this cache.
Thanks Zork V for placing the cache.

BYP quick dog walk and find. Lots of bottles around, maybe not great when dark.

Great find in little scenic park. BYOP.
