Found it while cycling around Tauranga. We made a wrong turn somewhere but we're still finding caches! TFTC
More signs of the times while biking around town. This area has some clever COs.
We found the box. But there was no logbook. We put in a new piece of paper. Tftc
Like the previous cacher we found the holder but no cache. So we decided to have a look around for something that fitted the holder. Buzzy bb found a small pill container which we think was probably the cache. No log but luckily I had some paper in my bag. Good team effort. Tftc
A quick grab now we know the series a little bit. Poked around a little and it was sticking out for us to grab. Tucked away securely for the next finder.
Nice quick easy find with a focussed search area since we know the series now. Tftc
Found in under 60 seconds, a nice easy find. Good fun was a distraction on the way to the next one.
Really nice easy find luckily Baneswolf is taller than me or I’d have struggled to reach it. Definitely need ones like this from time to time. TFTF
This brought me somewhere completely new..biked out on a hot afternoon. Easy enough to find, and manage to get but took me 10 full minutes to put back due to my stature..SL.TFTC
Luckily there were no muggles around this morning and we managed to grab the cache with ease. TFTC
First stop for the day. Bit hard to get log out but got there. Only find for the day after failing on some 3.5’s further up the track.
Thanks for the hide

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. New Zealand is my 4th station traveling from south Christchurch to north Auckland, my first visit here, its far away. This is my sabbatical-cache #919.
Forgot to bring pen will sign next time I come past. Did take me a while as I was looking on the ground
Found. 06-02-20- Easy find but well hidden. Great not to have to waste a lot of time hunting. Thanks.
After getting the nearby letterbox cache and then hearing boy racers doing burnouts in this cul-de-sac, I made my way back quickly to check on Mrs who had waited in the cache mobile.
They had gone by the time I got back, so no muggle problems when looking for this cache which was a quick find. TFTC

Visiting Tauranga for the weekend. Headed out for another early morning ride to pick up some caches that I missed yesterday. No problems here with muggles on a Sunday morning. TFTC
Our third of the day and it was a great time to come down as no muggles around so could easily retrieve sign and return
Driving by and saw that this met the requirement for a clue (detective) for the month's challenge - had a TB in the car and checking to see if this works....already found so it was quick and easy to "dip" and get back to the car...travelled back from Wellington today and it is amazing how many caches are disabled that have clues in!!
Nice idea here on this cache and it was found very quickly. I haven't seen quite this technique before so nice and novel but no problems retrieving the cache and getting to the log. It is very quiet here at the weekend so only minimal stealth was required. Didn't see anyone around while we were there. Bennett24 and I signed in to the log and replaced and were shortly on our way again to the next cache. Enjoyed the craftsmanship here thanks.
Toulei and I were commenting that it was strange that this one hadn't been found for so long and then it was found twice in one day - the other cacher we met later that day at an FTF. Cache is all good here - TFTC.
Need one more cache... need one more... need one more cache. To keep this small streak going I needed one today although to KrystalKath's consternation, "Why? when it's our anniversary today?” [?][?][?] *Because it’s an addiction dear.* And because today is a dot-day. **I’m so in the “dog box”!**
In order to keep the peace I needed a simple cache I could combine with walking Tama the geohound.
Subsequent to the 2001 Indonesian Boxing Day tsunami, the 2009 Samoa tsunami and the one at Fukushima, Japan in 2011, signs like this have been erected in low lying coastal areas. This sign has been tagged by a member of the Waikato MM, and the adjacent High Pressure gas pipeline sign is shot up with bullet holes! **These really are signs of the times...** [:(!]
Clever hide. Thanks for replacing it recently. TFTC

Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 49.2 feet or 15.0 meters.
I have found this cache a new home (third time lucky lol).
The new location is near the last but will hopfully last a lot longer this time.
It is all good to go and have updated the hint and enabled it.

I went to replace the cache as the work in the area looked like it was finished only to find that in the last week the original cache location has been removed.
I have a new location in mind but I just have to build a new cache holder.

I checked on this one today and it's gone again.
There has been a lot of work in the area and I think that someone that dosent know any better has got rid of it.
I will keep an eye on the area and when the work is finished I'll decide if it is worth putting the cache back.

Having found this ages ago, I can say for certain that it's not there. CO please check.
Dnf for 1st cache of the day thought we'd get this one too ... could be missing ... could be we aren't warmed up yet
We are down in Tauranga for Miss Davieland's gymnastics competition. Nice quick find. TFTC.
Cache is still there, it needs re-taping as the magnet is coming off slightly. I would have done so if i had tape on hand. TFTC
Had to wait for muggles in between their motorcycling lesson but was a nice easy find. Abit dam log though.
