Found it - didn't sign because the little bit of log that is left is still dry and in what's left of the container (only about 1cm left!). That was fun, thanks, but parking is not safe nearby.
Micro container cracked and in the process of disintegrating. Not water tight. Needs replacing.
A bit more we can say with this one. Log replaced as it was another pile of mush. Unfortunately new log will not stay dry for long as micro container has started to crack & disintegrate. Needs some TLC. TFTC
A quick find - but the log is full.
A photo of the log roll attached as evidence of find - sorry, no spoilers.

Despite the rain we decided to press on with our calendar improvements today. Took quite a while to locate, but got their in the end. Well hidden. SL. TFTC.
Found originally as part of Rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz
Have not been down this road before, the mix of rural and suburbia is striking, it will be only a short while and I expect this all to disappear under concrete

An afternoon out with CODEHILL having a chat and walk. These three were nice simple finds on this warm autumn day...

Another after work, biking trip, 30km round trip tonmght
Nice and easy at GZ. Curry was cooling on the handlebars but had to knock off these two last 'offensive' caches.

Pleased that we've finally found these caches. Now we can stop coming here and feeling conspicuous every time a car drives by. We had run out of feasible excuses as to why we were wandering around this stretch of road.
Arriving at the location deemed to be 'slightly off-putting' we soon spied the miniscule capsule with cryptic notations therein. Now we regretted discarding the little bent stick, which proved invaluable in respect to the previous 'mildly 'off-putting' cache previously found.
However 'er outdoors' soon devised an ingenious contrivance to aid recovery and success was achieved.

Another nice quick find on a lovely evening walk. Thanks!

Finding it was the easy part...ting it out of its hidie hole was another challenge. Had to get a little creative with a metal cutting angle grinder, a large crow bar and a small explosive charge.....well not quite, but it was a bit of a fiddle all the same cheers..... V
After finding the last in this series we thought we knew the type of thing we were looking for, but didn't find it. Will have to think a bit and return another day.
Needed another FFED today and as "Her-self" was attending a 'Baby Shower" nearby , it presented the opportunity to have a look about the area. It took 'Him-self" about 40 minutes to find this cache, for no reason other than the 'penny' finally dropped !!!!!.... Just about gave up then 'spotted' something! Got it!!. Not what was expected, never learn ?? Now off to find the other two in the series. TFTC
Enjoyed today a long and exiting caching day out in Hobsonville with KiwifruitsNZ and Vamber.
We did target the Offensive series today without any trouble TFTC

This cache formed part of a joint attack on the Hobsonville area by KiwifruitsNZ, Vamber and alpenmilch80.
Last of the three in this series. Another easy find.

The last cache for the day - it was getting late, and based in East Auckland, we had quite a drive ahead of us.
Dad and 9YO decided to race to this one - Mum could not determine who the winner was... it was pretty close. Dad claimed the victory; making it Parents 7, kids 3 for the day.
An excellent day caching - really neat to be out this way. We have never visited this area before, so was a really interesting afternoon caching.

A very nice find while in the area.
Really enjoying the great weather as well.
Soon located this cache. SL TFTC

This is the last one in the "fence" series and it also was quickly found. The only sound is the low rumble of the traffic on the motorway, though judging by the black marks on the road, I think it gets very noisy around here at night.
Last in this series for us. Yay. This guy had a little problem with his log book, and took some creative tweezering to get it out. #7 for the day. TFTC.
The last of the series and it made us work for this smiley with a bit of a sideways jam-ness going on, but we managed to get it out with a little bit of help from our trusty tweezers
Continuing on our caching afternoon a nice quick grab TFTC

Slight difficulty extracting but got there.

I am starting to see a pattern here, but I do like the clever technique used. Thanks for these caches a nice way to spend the evening...
My last in offending series. GPS had me searching in the wrong location for a few minutes, then concluded that there was a genuine theme to series. Saw the cache and again had even more difficulty extracting it from its resting position. Thanks for a nice walk on a sunny Friday morning.
Starting to get offended by this great series!
Why didnt I think of it? -;)
Thanks!!

we came we saw and we nabbed it ... now on to that next one that has stumped us for so long.. wish us luck..
My language was a little bit offensive buy the time I managed to extricate the cache. Think it may have been put back upside down. Amazing how many vehicles came along this road at 16:15, felt very exposed. TFTC
Out and about on my afternoon walk in the rain with little pounamu this afternoon.
Another quick find last in this area thanks for bringing us here & T4TC

Located the cache after a brief search but it took a little effort to remove the LB, as my left hand was in a splint.
After a bit of a struggle, I managed to sign the log and replace it in its hide.

Found these 4 "Offensive" caches in the series during a quick stroll around the block with the kids in tow!
Thanks heaps for the caches funkymunkyzone.

Found my first 4 caches that I can now log myself instead of on my Mum's account!
It was neat walking around here with my Nan & GranDads dog tonight.
Thank-you funkymunkyzone.

Funnily enough i must have been desensitised to the offensive feeling, (must be the caching that has caused this). I used to be based up at Number 5 SQN so was good to have a closer look at the area, TFTC
Easy when you have the right extraction tool. Completed all three now and only the first one gave some mildly offensive behaviour. TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
Set out today with the aim of reaching our next milestone of 500 cache finds. Heading to Orewa and Shakespear Regional Park to do this.
These were on route so we decided to stop and grab them. We seemed to do the series backwards though.
Last for this little series of easy finds, again found easily but took a while to retrieve as it was in backwards.
