Dew to the tree that the cache was hidden is being cut down, the cache is gone.
I have no idea where it went, so the cache is disabled.

Thanks for the support of the cache.

Area has been well and truly trimmed and coords took me to where a tree used to be.
Cache badly needs maintenance as can rusting and contents sodden. Did sign replacement log which still dry.
In the area for work and stopped off to grab this cache. The council have pruned back a lot of the tress and bushes in the area and may be planning to do more in the area of GZ.
As noted the cache is wet. Added a replacement log and plastic bag.

Found this soggy sorry little number on a walk in the park. It was an easy find not where I originally rummaged around looking. TFTC
Quick find, but as others have already mentioned very damp and moldy. Also, watch out for dog poop around the cache
When I first started geocaching I came here and spent 20 mins going under and through every thing. I did take time to look around and see what was really there or shouldn't be. I didn't branch out enough. The cach is very damp. Ans mould is growing on the pencil and log. Thanks for the adventure.
Later in the evening, a circuitous route home after spendingtime with friends - I always feel a bit "guilty" lurking in neighbourhoods such a s this.
However, cache was soon in hand, signed, replaced. TFTC.

Went for an evening walk with Mrs McMike2012 & 'muggle' family. Quick find in a quiet reserve. TN:LN:SL. TFTC...nzgeohunter. #291 for us.
Nice find on my way home. Not sure why this one has sat so lonely on my map, think that I was with a friends when I did the others around and she had done this one.
All quiet at GZ, looks as though
EQC workers are painting etc in this area as a few trade vehicles around.
Lid colour has changed, so I tucked a bit further down and covered with a bit of leaf litter.
Left GC to travel a bit further.
Thanks

Reperio at 1745.
Came by this nice little park with Roostaman today on our first day of caching in New Zealand, and spotted the cache without too much trouble as the colour has worn off the cache a little bit. I was signing the log book when some muggles came by...so had to crouch down low and hope they didn't look in amongst the trees...which they didn't! Not quite sure what I would have said!
Gratias nzgeohunter.

Tftc whoops found this last weekend but accidentally pushed the wrong button.
Second DNF of the night for GeoYoungling #1 and me. We had the place to ourselves, but somehow couldn't place our hands on this "easy hide." Could be the fact that it was night, but by the other logs, I'm thinking it was just us.
141 - A quick circuit of the park and the cache was soon in hand. The lid was not fully on the tin but everything was dry. As I was signing the log a cheeky fantail was chatting to me. I watched it flit from branch to branch for a number of minutes. I took some photos and will upload if they have come out right, and you can actually see the fantail. Very cool. TFTC
A nice quick one, popular spot for the locals it seemed, muggles everywhere. Cheers
Half the neighborhood know we found something as Jacob told me he "found it" at the top of his lungs.
Quick find in this cute little reserve on our way home from visiting the Marching Giants.
Easy find after straight behind another GCer! - The first other bush nutter I've seen...
#206 Found it with BalooSu. Released the Mr Bard Teddy TB to find a larger container. Dropped off 'there and back again' TB in replacement.
Macpacfamily Mum and BalooSu had already found this one before I joined them for an afternoon caching so did this one after we finished for the afternoon. Out TB.
Don't usually like these - feel so many eyes watching - but quickly found and away without noticing any muggles. TFTC.
An easy find late afternoon. Rosie didn't want to leave and hid behind the bushes. Left teddybear TB
It is possible there is a TB tag with no attachment in the cache or on the ground next to the cache location. Please contact me if found.
I Found this cache with my sister, she has given me a list of every cache I have done with her that i have not logged, TFTC A special thanks to Gracie7 + Mum for the Log List
found in today's the day's search cache. Everything I went through on foot, in the city and in nature, and thank you for the interesting places in New Zeland. Greeting from the Czech Republic
Quick stop, as I made my way towards a nearby cacher's residence for a coffe break. That's the 8th cache found so far today. Thanks for the cache.
