Too long

maintain

The tree that the cache was on has been chopped down by owner in new house. C/O will need to replace closer to the corner where there is parking and trees.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck here today many trees being cut down

The farmer has cut the grass and trimmed the trees no cache in Sight.

Took longer than should as hadn't read previous log which noted hint changed from chevron to in tree right of gz.

After a little looking cache was found. The weather today not so nice tho

Quite hard to spot, and certainly nowhere near a chevron.

Heading to Marua today, so stopped off for this one. Future cachers should take noteof the owner maint log from Sept 14 as the orig hint no longer applies. Quick find with the updated clue. TFTC

From the Bay of Island we drove to Kawakawa. Then we went to Tutukaka and Whangarei via the Touristik Drive. On the way we had very nice views and great beaches. On the coast we could make a very nice hike and some cache log. The hints were helpful and the coordinates mostly good.
Thanks to the owner for the nice caches.

No idea what a chevron is but lucky the GPS worked

The chevron, eyeshight.

Whangarei Day2.
We spent a delightful day in the outer region of Whangarei, driving through the rolling country side then onto the sea side where many surfers were enjoying the waves.
A great variety of locations & hides were found.
Thanks for placing this cache Riser5

Yep. Think. Look

I nearly gave up on this one! L
Thanks for the clue from a previous log I found it.

Chevron? I nearly gave up on this, then I read the logs. Unfortunately my GPS only shows the latest 10 logs but there was one that gave enough of a clue. The updated hint post was "New cache, Hidden in the nearby Tree. To the right of GZ. Head height. Use your eyes" for those that had the same problem as me. TFTC.

Tftc,check for the chevron

After wandering up and down the road several times, we read previous logs and saw CO had posted new hint. Nice easy find once we had the new info TFTC

On the way to Whananaki for a few days of camping and adventure. So nothing like a few caches to lead the way to our destination, albeit a slightly longer way as my quick look at the map ment I missed the quicker route to the North side and ended up on the South side. Oh well, more caches this way!!

Might need to update the hint here, as I spent a good 5 minutes hunting around the hint item as there wasn't anything near the GZ. After a while I read a few logs and came across the maintenance log and the new hint. Found with no problem once I was looking in the right place.

Found it during my Work and Travel Tour through New Zealand. TFTC

I didn't think chooks lay in trees. My hens definitely liked to roost in the feijoa trees. A quick find once we followed the GPS, TFTC

Quick find as gas spot on today

Just before I gave up, I read the owner's last log and found the cache. TFTC.

Tftc!

Yay! Better luck this time. TFTC

Tftc with scout n about

Fifth find on a caching road trip before a family function. TFT(very quick)C.

New cache, Hidden in the nearby Tree. To the right of GZ. Head height. Use your eyes.

No sign of fried eggs ... or bacon either!

Sorry to say couldn't find this one either

Nope, no fried eggs here either. Seems as if the post with the hint mentioned has been removed and cache has either gone with it or buried in 2 foot of grass. Didn't hang around and continued on our journey.

Short on time , and bearing in mind the previous logs decided not to bother stopping for a fruitless search ... maybe on a future trip.

Original owner

Nope.

Couldn't locate the post hole in question in all the tall grass....Regards, tv

Couldn't find this one today - is it just me???

Fried Eggs #3 was transferred from Flowernz to user Riser5

Chevron has been removed but post hole still exists - co-ordinates are sound but log is wet. TFTC.

A quick find as there were no muggles around.

On our tour through New Zealand we found this cache. TFTC

Spending a weekend in Whangarei. What to do with ones spare time? Caching of course!

Arrived at GZ to find the fence down and an electric fence erected to retain the heifer lumps. Checked out the "Chevrons" but these were all well away from GZ. It looks like someone has missed the corner and taken out the fence and any "Chevrons" which may have been there. So, your egg was probably fried.

We will put this one on watch, to see what develops.

Thanks Flowernz.

Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!

I finally made it to Matapouri Bay today after a false start last Tuesday. Today it started fine and stayed that way all day.

Used to but not any more.

Cheers for the cache.

A heard of bovines watching our every move! TFTC

#25 Muggled by the locals who then swarmed over to see what we were up to, they must have thought we were going to let them into another paddock

Easy find - another egg cracked, but all good.
Added a marble to the egg so it will rattle now.

Out checking the eggs - this one all good - but gave it a new bag

A nice quick find on a beaut day's caching up north, not an area I get to visit very often. A slightly early visit for me, I should of waited till fry-day.

TFTC

nice find. TFTC

This was number 5 we found
on today's traveling round.
We thank you for the eggy hide
next to this windy roadway site.

Our # 6 in NZ.

Pick this one up as part of my egg run. Cheers

Thankfully a quick find in the rain TFTC Flowernz

A few before heading back to the lodgings

Neither of us are fans of fried eggs but another egg cracked to reveal another smilie TFTC.

Another damp one, dried it out on a lovely fine day. TFTC

9154... Didn't want to get flipped over by making this fried egg over easy, and certainly avoided being runny over too, TFTC.

Almost done with eggs for the day, only two more to go. TFTC

Another egg. TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Spent the weekend visiting family in Whangarei.

After breakfast in the town basin (Bacon and Eggs / French Toast) we were inspired to find some more eggs!

Quick and easy find. TFTC.

300th Cache find!!

A day release pass from family meant a caching trip could be done. Teamed up with good mate Butchie Bum to tackle the east coast caches and couldn't pass thru without nabbing a few eggs on the way! TFTC

No. 6/17 for the day on our way back towards Auckland. TFTC from N.Ireland

Driving the loop from Hikurangi to Whangarei via Tutukaka, collecting a basketful of eggs. Had to check a couple of the hint items before we found the Fried Eggs #3. Thanks.

# 4247

Rain and puddles at GZ. Oh well. Thanks for the stop

Almost to the end of our backward run through this series. t4tc

After finding a poached egg it was time to move on and start frying some eggs, I do like my fried eggs, sunny side up on a piece of toast, arriving near GZ was able to find a car-park not too far from GZ and it was a quick walk to GZ, managed to find the cache in the first spot I check, what a nice spot for a cache, thanks for placing it here and for bringing me here to this spot, also decided to bring Dream, Passion and Journey Travel Bug along to visit this cache as well, TFTC TNLNSL (3684)

Decided to drop a Travel bug for a quick visit while it was passing through as it is in a race

Out checking the eggs today - this one all good

MMMM, Fried Eggs on toast

TFTC

We are on our second caching holiday in New Zealand and today was our last full day of caching. We have been limited with the caches we could search for after Marco badly sprained his ankle at Cape Reinga and is on crutches – but this one was easily accessible so we decided to give it a go. This was a nice quick find for us. TNLNSL TFTC

Collecting eggs today

TFTC!

Found on this lovely Spring Day in the North. TFTC.

Easy find and beautiful day. TFTC

A beautifull day for caching so decided to grab a Dozen Eggs and a few other caches too! T4TC!

Quick and easy find with the flatmates, 90CRX, nattydread and hippy1.
TFTC

Didn't even stop the engine for this one, nice and easy. Thanks Flowernz.

Quick find while doing the egg set.

Decided to fill the rest of the basket in order today! TFTC!

Well, mini mob had turned his ipod on by now ... sitting in the back seat singing "Dancing Queen" very loudly. Another good easy find. Omlettes are next!

Now I know what chevron is!tftc

Having a fun afternoon as we enjoy these colourful little eggs all looking in good condition and well covered.

oooohhh so thats what a cheveron is?

Educational

10.15am. Second post was the right one.
Thank you. David.

fried eggs, yum.

TFTC,

Quick find, we spotted a farmer just along the road but he didn't pay much attention to us.TFTC.

I had been planning & looking forward to going out to visit one of my favourite beaches All day... the multiple notifications ( a dozen? how eggxciting!) going off all in a row was like an alarm-clock ringing LOL, quickly loaded them up and out the door. It was surprising NOT to bump into anyone, as apparently the coast was crawling with cachers today...


These rural areas can be deceptively quiet at times... so was lightly a-fried, but for naught as no muggle farmer appeared.
Another quick easy find. Oooh enough for a big omelette perhaps? all this caching is working up an appetite!
