coffee brake @ '' Poos Corner'' (Levin) Levin, North Island, New Zealand
By card7ff*boy on 27-Apr-11. Waypoint GC2V585

due to lot of look and no find i now close this cach thanks to all for looking

Add us to the DNFs. GZ was super busy but we had a decent look without any luck.

Given the number of DNFs over the last 2 months thism one needs to be looked at

Had a couple of goes at this one but extremely difficult given the (foot) traffic. We pretended to be discussing the plants while having a good look but didn't find anything. Maybe not the best place given that the best time to look would be midnight on a weeknight. TFTC

I am new to this but have had a long look around this area only to fail at finding this, taken maybe? I'll have another look this weekend

owener looke BUT not sure as yet will let it continue cos it might have just been moved please look and if not located if a few weeks will re address ok

Had a fairly good search around the area whilst StefTheVet stood guard, but couldn't find anything apart from a heap of slugs! Will try again next time.

Given that the cache hasn't been found since August can the owner please confirm that it is still there.

I stood guard while mum pretended to use the loo and hamishnz was searching for the cache. Sadly not found though and being a saturday night people going in and out of the pub across the road were really not helping. Have to come back on a weeknight I think and have another let look when less muggles about.

Had a big scratch around while Mrs Firewoof stood guard in broad daylight . Found nothing. Far too close to public toilets for my liking

Came back twice during the day, once during opening hours to check it out, then later in the evening when it was much quieter, but this one just was not to our taste. Now we're at the computer again and re-reading logs I realise we were probably in the complete wrong place anyway, but the GPS was not assisting us much and we felt too conspicuous. Might give it another go next time we are in Levin, maybe.

On holidays from Australia enjoying a caching trip with J+J.au. Always amazed at the places and sights that geocaching shows me. SL..TFTC

One keped a lookout , the other was the hunter, soon duties performed. TFTC

After our failure to find this cache last year, today it was a quick easy find. The extra hint certainly helped, but we did do considerable searching in that area last time. TFTC

all fix and waiting come get me ( on the left via the street - & on your right via the car park right behing the wc building

find 15 for the day. T4TC

The lady having coffee had a priceless look.

Found this with Llilliane Vess (I had found this earlier). The cache container's bottom seal has come off, so the log is exposed to the weather. Perhaps a dab of silicon sealant?

This one's a bit cryptic so please to be able to find and sign. TFTC #3050

It was very busy at GZ and we didn't want to loiter here too long. Luckily I read a log that was most informative, so StreetWalker went in for the retrieve while I acted as look out.
TFTC.

#3383. Muggle central. Luckily Troodles read the right log and I made a quick grab. TFTC.

yay found it after a second trip didnt relise how flash thosse toliets were must be the flashest thing in levin, great cache container this is a great one i think as we should all have sanitiser in our caching supplies bag with all other bits (specially if were that worried bout germs n stuff) we cachers need unfournunitly angel1288 has returned to waimate so shell have to try again when shes up next

Found this with Violet Butterfly, Jumping Monkey, Wandering Dragons and Crystal Fairy. Very nice hide. TFTC!

Did with CrystalFairy

Found this with Violet Butterfly, Wandering Dragons, Downunder Wanderer and Crystal Fairy. Very nice hide. TFTC!

#2741. Found the general area no problem, but difficult to get an accurate GPS fix. Eventually worked out what the "brake" was ... and also helped by reading previous logs. TNLNSL. TFTC.

After the local event, found this with The Wandering Dragons, Jumping Monkey, Downunder Wanderer and Crystal Fairy. I won't send an individual e-mail, but this was certainly unique. TFTC!

After the local event, found this with Violet Butterfly, Jumping Monkey, Downunder Wanderer and Crystal Fairy. Interesting spot, even more interesting container. No problem with location. TFTC!

found after the "Levin welcomes all cachers (GC380QX)" event with Seagnoid and with help from I5BadAss

Interesting container.. Not sure we really wanted to touch it as its looking a tad bit grubby.. Signed the log and off we went. Did this with 5 other cachers as part of the event

Found with Etherlord with help from cacher

After the local event, found this with The Wandering Dragons, Jumping Monkey, Downunder Wanderer and Crystal Fairy. TFTC!

i looked and ok bit hidden ( on W C side ) a wee hint lol

A clever little device successfully found on our 2nd visit, this time at a quieter time- a Sunday evening. Nevertheless, lurking behind a public toilet still feels unsavoury. TFTC

it took 2 long trips down could u please check if it is still there

Found it finally, and may i say that those are most Bloody fancy toilets iv'e ever seen in my life! 'Press lock to begin your time' *music plays* 'you have 10 minutes, good day' golly goch. TFTC and TFTT(toilet)

Etherlord family's caching roadtrip to Levin.
Didn't find despite a 30min search (between muggle interruptions)

Happened to be passing through Levin nice and early in the morning before The Warehouse was open. Snuck in for a quick find and replace. Relieved to nab this one as it is so hard to find a suitable time to visit.
TFTC.

Quick early morning find TFTC card7ff*boy

Found in the end before police car drove past.

Found on second try, with the help of a tip from the owner. Not an easy place for a woman on her own to loiter and didn't feel comfortable really. Lots of hand washing afterwards

An interesting place for a cache, cool container. Tftc

lots of muggles but think we got the cache unoticed... no one was looking at us ... they were talking about THE MIGHT ALL BLACKS! tftc

This was so funny, we spent so long going over notes and sorting out our strategy and when there was a break between muggles, we found it so easy. Perhaps the Burt Bacharach music eminating from the WC calmed our minds. TFTC

managed to park right next to it, but had to wait ages for the right moment to make the grab. Then had to wait an equally long time to return it! Great camo though. TFTC

Eyed it up and was about to make a dive for it when someone left a deposit in the WC. Urrr - tooo much for me..... Maybe another time.

Surprisingly a very quick find (and rather thankful for that)on a very busy Saturday morning. I can understand the frustration of others however, it's a very difficult location.
TFTC

A surprisingly quick find (and I hadn't read the latest hint either!) after lunch on a day's caching in the region. There weren't very many people around and as I spent only a minute or two at the cache location I was unlikely to have been observed. Interesting cache container! Signed log, TFTC.

Very quickly found, no trouble. Parked close by and just dived in there and got the job done, easier than expected. TFTC.

ok so i had a cacher visit on sat. still all good CACHERS you just need to look on the side of the wc by the EARTH wire pole ( feed back ;- please if you like or should i can the cach i let it run for now and see ......... cardiffboy

Rather than just amending the hint, has the cache owner actually been back to check that the cache is actually still there. Or is he worried that he will look as out of place and suspicious while doing this, as searchers do while looking for it.

please do not look till i given the ok

will look this week end

Didn't enjoy loitering around the toilets so decided not to persevere with this one.

Far too busy in the vicinity today to try any kind of search, and not a place to linger around anyway.

Had a bit of a look at the location then quickly gave it away. There must be better places for caches than next to toilets. In full view of carpark, so would have to time visit very carefully. Didn't think this is one we'd bother with.

I decided as I was here early this morning I would have another shot at finding this one. Gave it away as soon as I realised the area had recently been used as a urinal . Surely there are better places than this to hide a cache.

Shop was open so had to duck down, but way easier to search for in the early hours rather than peak shopping. Well used item and good hiding, placed back as found.

Dumb idea to even try at lunch time on a saturday. crwaling with muggles. Gave it away after a very quick look around.

1.8.11 10:33 Find #1039 TFTC Greetings from the Czech Republic.Found it together with geosister.

Difficult for us but we solved it (geosister found it) . Thanks

Had as good a look as we could. A lot of muggles visiting the big red shed. Unfortunately we didn't find the cache. Maybe next time we will have more luck.

Seeing the previous DNF - we didn't have much in the way of hopes as we went to begin searching. The ridiculous amount of muggles sealed the deal.

This one defeated us today. We did notice a possibility which seemed at least partly consistent with the hint, but it seemed to be genuine and securely attached.

Last find of the night on the drive back to Wellington - the muggle spouse had just woken up - but thankfully didn't have to brake for too long. Couldn't drive through Levin without doing a card7ff*boy cache.

Heh - did this with a local cacher just before heading in and having very good pizza nearby Cheers Gav [9351]

My sister managed to find this one - she works in the best Pizza shop in town (just around the corner from here).

all re set and waiting

OH DEAR!
as Poo would say.

(Edit: This was written as commiseration with the cache owner after the original log was muggled.)

drop me a line if you want to share and set a nano at this site ( or open to idears

Found it quite quickly after sending little Oliver in to look...then couldnt replace it for about 20 mins after it became muggle-central.Nice 'obvious' hide.

Nice camo is all I can say and a little "clever" TFTC

I was relieved to get this one, partly because of two previous DNFs elsewhere and also for reasons which are best left unsaid but have to do with the existence of the place...
Spotted the cache quite quickly, but had to wait for the right moment to grab it being mid afternoon with people coming and going from the facility and the shops.
And unlike two people who signed the info sheet I signed the REAL log! Took me a minute or two to work out what was going on here, but caught on fairly quickly, a bit of lateral thinking involved but if you use some logic you should get it. I moved a safe distance away to do the paperwork (no NOT that paperwork heehee.) I can see this could be quite tricky to do the logging at night, you need to be able to see what is involved so as to do it properly and not to upset anything I think.
A clever concept but I hope any official who stumbles on the cache reads the info sheet lol.
A couple of trackables came by for a comfort stop, one I can't record yet as I had grabbed it in the morning and later dropped it off in another cache in Levin without noting the tracking number so awaiting that from the owner.
TFTC.

Logging the Montana TB visit now I have the tracking number sorted out. Not the sort of scenery this one is looking for but as I had it with me on the way elsewhere it gets recorded anyway !
By the way I am getting concerned about the nature of my caching lately, in the last month or two as well as this one I have also done caches named Poo and Effluent!

Not sure whether I signed the right thing (the sheet of paper), but Wilma 677's moniker was also there, undated as she said. Was in a bit of a hurry, as being caught behind the toilets has certain unwelcome connotations! However, got out of there unseen I hope.

Clever hide, well constructed. TFTC!

Oh Yeah very nice. Thanks for the effort. I love caches that use some imagination. definitely gets a favourite.

20:07
A well thought-out cache. First time I've had to find a log with extra concealment. Muggles were not a problem due to the time of my visit although a couple arrived just as I was leaving. TFTC.

DNF

3TF or at least to find and sign the logsheet after Paul303 and Yeetrees. Nice easy find. SL TFTC

Decided to do it early in the morning on my way north does make it a bit easier to look for this cache, did a bit of googling and checked street view before going north and had a fair idea where the cache was. Arriving at GZ and my fears were confirmed and the realisation that this was going to be interesting to say the least. Lucky for me the area was a bit quiet this morning and I was able to sneak in and retrieve, sign and return the cache without any issues. You have got to love this sort of cache hide, really a great urban camo, really well done. thanks for bringing me to this interesting spot, hope that the cache stays, TFTC TNLNSL (3204)

well tthis one had me stumped for a while as i was'nt sure were the log sheet was, I placed the cache back and went away to think, and then the penny dropped and retreived the log sheet. To find that the log sheet had not been signed dose this make me the FTF ??????

FTF Well I think I am.. But i did it in such a hurry and wasn't sure where/what the log book was so i signed what it thought was the log and once back in the car I realized I hadn't dated it for today 4.00pm 1st May sunday.
I didn't expect a FTF that is for sure!

Was not far from here waiting for my bus and this came up not long after I got home, not the first time this sort of thing has happened, how do the reviewers manage to do that to me lol.
Ah well another one to look forward to next time I use the bus stop, but probably won't be for a few weeks.
