As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Kids loved the horses. Provided plenty of distraction. My son retrieved and daughter will NOT put her hand into the dark spaces! Lol Thanks heaps for the cache - it was a bit wet inside, but log ok

Nice hide. Had to put my arm all the way into the hollow to obtain the goodies. Luckily I grabbed the right thing. TFTC

Found today with MycroMan, Crystal Fairy and Wandering Dragons. Loved the nearby fauna. TFTC!

Cache #313

Cache #957 - Found today with Violet Butterfly, Crystal Fairy and MycroMan. There was a group of gardeners nearby pruning some agapanthus, but fortunately the geokids' fascination with the nearby animals kept them from watching Crystal Fairy retrieve and replace the cache. Interesting container, and certainly memorable. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Walked about 600m to this one with Mycro Man and Violet Butterfly and some muggle friends. Wasn't sure I was opening a cach at first, but was glad afterwards Lovely walk and got to see lots of horses on a beautiful day. Did with Mycro Man, Violet Butterfly and Wandering Dragons

Did with CrystalFairy

picked it up and put it back, then realised it was the cache. great hide.

found under the watchful eye of some resident horses after the afternoon teaching session at New Wine camp at El Rancho.

The container was flooded with water dribbling out when I lifted it from the namesake and even more to pour out once I opened it. Fortunately the zip lock bag did its job and the log was still dry.

Found!!!

Found with paisynsmummy on a river run this morning!

Out for a walk with my German friend, decided to do some geocaching. Great cache to show him, TFTC!

We overshot the hiding place and started searching in a likely spot, but when that resulted in nothing, StreetWalker looked back along the path and spotted another, more likely, place. I poked it with my walking pole without success, so we continued searching other areas. StreetWalker decided to have another look, and oops, there was the cache .

#4437. Interesting area; good facilities for the horsey types. TFTC.

Entered the path from the wrong way which meant I had to leap the electric fence. I guess getting back is going to be a long way around. Love the cache container!

Top pottle! TFTC

Finally cool hide [^] Have tried for this on a number of occassions but due to muggle presence couldnt spend long in the area. Found in a spot where I had briefly looked. Interesting container

Cool cache. Found with Clippie.

8.45am. Drove around a bit before finding an access to the walkway. Nice short walk. Coords close enough for a quick find then after a little hesitation soon had the log to sign. This is worth a favourite point for the idea.
Thank you. David.

Netty found this one while I looked where my GPS suggested. As with some earlier finders, there was a small amount of hesitation and uncertainty involved before the mission could be completed.

Very clever. Left trackable. Often ride this track along the river. We are so lucky to have beautiful areas like this. TFTC

find with magicmannz.tftc cool contaner. tftc. [8d]

Cool cache,nice esay find but was a bit taken aback upon first finding but then realised it was safe.

Shame could'nt find this one

#2969. Spotted GZ initially, but the GPS was pointing to other possibilities nearby. A quick look yielded nothing, but then eventually found on the second pass.

Brilliant! I found with tu2tracker, speedy12, and Dunc_nz. Thanks for the find.

Clever hide. Needed a muggle to help us find it!!!! Lovely day, lovely river!!!
Thanks

3rd today

Wasn't sure for a second lol. Tftc

It was scary!!! logs helped, watch out for the electric fences!

Walked Around GZ And Had To Look Twice To Figure Out What The Cache Was. Very Clever! Very Bold!

Very clever container given all the warning signs. Opened with trepidation. Coords are about 10 m out. TFTC

An enjoyable walk along the riverbank followed by a quick find even though the gps had me about 10m away. Thanks for bringing be to this nice walkway. TFTC

Took a bit me looking youngest found it GPS well off TFTC

Quick find with Waiiti20 during a school camp lunch break. TFTC

found the cache after a bit of a look around. An interesting container to say the least. Quite damp inside, but the log was nice and dry in its inner casing. TFTC

Nice cache! A wedding anniversary find for us. Mrs Wildsalt discovered the electric fence while feeding the horses! TFTC, TNLN.

interesting container, put back to start with then realized what it was

Found after a short search this afternoon. I spend a little time looking in the wrong spot as the GPSr was placing me about 12 metres away from the cache - when no luck there I started looking around for likely hint objects and spotted it pretty quickly. Nicely done container, I haven't seen one like that before! Signed log, TFTC.

TFTC

The actual cache was the first thing we picked up but it was quickly thrown back down, not realizing it was the cache...
Anyway lovely spot.
Found with kiwibobby on a geocaching cycle along the Waikanae river.

Enjoyed the walk along the riverbank pathways and along to the cache. Great hide and container! TFTC

Found after a leisurely wander along the river trail -an aptly-named cache. SL, TFTC.

Awesome cache. Loved the container. TFTC.

Great cache. By the time I had got off my bike and sorting out the GPS, my kids had the cache in hand, totally oblivious to the bait station warnings signs. Oh well, I should bring them along more often. TFTC.

Great cache, had magicmannz fooled left tb thanks so much 4 walk

Was up in Waikanae for work and decided that I would go and do the cache that was on this walkway. Due to being on this walkway before I knew that there were a few entrance to this walkway and I decided that I would check them out on goggle map before I left home. Finding the entrance to this walkway wasnt an issue as it was very well marked, just as I was entering the main path a muggle and her K9 friend walked pass so I decided to retreat a bit and let them go ahead off me so that I was able to be far enough back that it wasnt going to cause any issues when I got to GZ. Arriving at the cache it didnt take too long to find the cache as I did my homework and read the cache logs before I attempted this one. Was a bit surprise about the home made cache container, very interesting indeed, found it quickly, sign and rehid it back where I found it, thanks for the clever little hide and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (3910)

Great find lovely location....

Found after a leisurely stroll from otaihanga Domain with Bkj97. GPS was fading fast and while bkj97 played Alice down the rabbit hole I spotted a likely spot. Initially thought I had made a mistake due to reading some signage but Bkj97 was brave enough to take the plunge. Great hidinhg place but I'm dubious about the container. Well done on first hide schmodeycoinhunter. T4TCSL TNLN

Who needs a Gps when you have a chicken in tow. Gps got us within 10m before low battery warning came on and from experience the coords then go all over the place. LBH soon spotted an excellent hiding place and had the cache in her claws. Was hesitant to open the container as my mother trained me well when I was little, but having walked nearly 2km took the risk and was rewarded with a logbook. Took a couple of TB's. TFTCSL

2TF. And attached with TBs so we took them to move them on and replaced with two others. First release of one of my own.

Published

*FTF* #101. Found it less than 25 minutes after it was published at around 11-15pm. It is only 3.2km from home so could not resist a visit. I know the area quite well and was quickly at the site. A good find of the nicely hidden cache. SL traded TB's TFTC
