THE BRONYX (LEVIN) Levin, North Island, New Zealand

As there's been no cache to find for months, 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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

As per CF's comments.

Pretty sure this one is gone. We were standing around when two kids came past and one asked us if we were looking for a 'package'. He showed us where it used to be and was more intrigued that we'd come all the way from Wellington to look for some plastic containers than the fact that the cache was no longer there.

Nice easy find while out with the Grandkiddies, cachers themselves. TFTC Left some pirates treasure.

found it yay

This was our 5th find of the day on a tour of levin,

Didn't take us all too long to find this one, nice little location here, thanks!

Jonti.

Planning a raid on Levin and realised I had not logged this one. Thanks ss_girl.

The third time I've been here. The two other time there were always kids playing just where the cache is and I didn't want to attract their attention. Once you get to the place without someone looking at you it's really easy to find!

TFTC!

#900. A quick find, and the kids had the park all to themselves. SL, TFTC.

#4746. Coast was clear at first, but then it became muggly after I found the cache. Once the log was find, the cache was quickly replaced. TFTC.

As soon as we arrived we knew that we'd have to be quick as the park is small and there isn't any cover from the playground, which was currently empty.
Cache was a quick find but accessing the logbook was a different matter as StreetWalker couldn't get the top off...While struggling, a couple of kids arrived with a toddler. Darn! Fortunately, we soon had the logbook signed so I tried to shield SW from the children (who seemed to be engrossed in the play equipment) while he replaced the cache.
TFTC.

In and out alive...PHEW!!!!

Very easy TFTC

Enjoyed this find very much! All alone in the park!

Muggles Central in the 'hood tonight! Lots of mean looking muggles playin' volleyball. Came back when the coast was clear - success this time after a previous failed attempt! Left a Bronx relevant momento in this little cache! (P.S. no string - maybe a red herring?!?)

Found in the logical location but no black string to leave at the top. I also uncovered an ants nest, they were not happy! And yes, writing in ALL CAPS makes for challenging reading.

Found it!

Wahoo Geocaching expedition successful!

The park was completely empty on a lovely Levin morning so the junior Orsome4somes had fun haring around. Easy find, but as several people have already said, the log was a heap of mush in the bottom of the container, so...we emptied the container of its mush (and mould), dried it out and put a replacement log (a piece of paper) in a little plastic bag back in the container and returned it to its hidey-hole (which was alongside an ant nest) The owner will need to fix this up. TFTC.

Original log reduced to pulp. Replaced by a temporary "piece of paper" log.

Had to reach over an ant nest while they scuried off with the lava so knowing the problems gandma has with them squashed some ofim TFTC

Found but couldn't sign it but will call it a smiley. TFTC

Quick find, We been just muggled by a young fellow across the road, the log is paper mash and couldnt sign. Greetings from Australia. TFTC

On holidays from Australia enjoying a caching trip with J+J.au. Always amazed at the places and sights that geocaching shows me. Unable to sign log. Need help!!..TFTC

Well this was really a didn't dare look than a did not find.
As a male on my own it quickly became clear that it was inappropriate to go anywhere this playground with neighbours looking on, even though there were no kids on the equipment at the time.
From what I have read it would actually be illegal in the area this is named after to attempt this as an unaccompanied adult!
I won't be back unless I have a young family member in tow!
(And caps anywhere on the net is shouting, it also does not make for easy reading on my mobile.)

A quick easy find, but it was not easy to get the lid off the cache to retrieve the sodden log – no string attached. Needless to say our granddaughters enjoyed the playground. TFTC

spotted the obvious spot on the way and sure enough. cache is wet.

Picked up an extra junior cacher on the way to this one and was a quick easy find.
Log was a little damp and with no sign of the mentioned string we didnt try to get the log out to sign.

All quiet for my early morning visit. Only just manged get the logbook out, well actually a new log sheet left by the last visitor.

TFTC

There was nobody else about on a bit of a dismal day so I made the find easily. I couldn't find a black string so I assumed this had broken. I put a new bit of paper in as proof of my visit. Now that I have read the earlier logs, I now know that I could have removed the whole top.

find 12 for the day. thank you.

Sadly a bit of a bare park, no trees and no kids playing. Found the cache with no problems. TFTC

Big caching day around Levin with Lilliana Vess. Nice little park, no muggles around.

Had to do some business in Levin and found time to squeeze a few caches in.TFTCSL

Quick grab.-Bitsprayer

A quick find here today, had the park to myself which helped. My GPS had a bad case of the yips when I turned it on so found this one using my phone, which actually surpassed my expectations. TFTC

A quick find in a deserted park. Nice hide, TFTC.

Quick find. No one in the park but some muggles outside a house down the street.

Quick find no one about. Kids had third quick play. Tftc

Quick find no one around. No black string. Remove entire top to retrieve the log. TFTC

#2875. Found the cache, but no black string. Eventually managed to get the top off to access the log book. TNLNSL. TFTC.

The park was surprisingly deserted given that it was such a nice day. I was just about to give up when I located the cache. TFTC

It makes a big difference when the cache is actually there - thanks for replacing it! I found it within seconds on a return visit here on the way north this morning. Unlike last time, there was not a soul around which made finding and replacing the cache dead easy. Signed log, TFTC!

The cache site is a little exposed but there were no muggles in site.Quick find.Thanks.

Sounding like a scratched record...but loving the accurate co-ordinates...makes a change. Quick find, but just about to return it, when eight under 6s, complete with dog in tow, appeared from nowhere. Had to stay for a bit of kiddy-chat ( i'm sure there was a parent somwhere? ), but spotted the opportunity, and got it back without any eyes in my direction.

Found with Barri-Ster & Hugo the dog. Soon had it sorted and cache in hand. SL TFTC

This cache made us chuckle all day. We pulled up to the park in our campervan, which has rainbow stripes around the sides. We instantly saw that it would not be possible to get the cache just then, as there were hoards of little children all over the playground. Before we could move on, they noticed us and came running for the van with smiles on their faces, shouting "Icecream! Icecream!".
Returned a little later (lunchtime) and this time parked around the corner. One of us walked back to the park, and made a quick find in an empty park.

No cache here for me today and I'm certain it has gone. Started searching and had pretty well concluded it was missing when half a dozen young children (6 - 10 year old I'd guess) bounced up to me and were very interested in what I was doing. As there was no cache there I told them I was hunting for something and they were dead keen to help. I gave it away; however later in the afternoon I was chatting with a previous successful finder on the cellphone and he confirmed that the cache should have been in the first place I looked, and also described the container type to me. To be dead sure, I called back again on the way through Levin on my way home and there's definitely nothing there. I would recommend that if the cache is replaced, it should be located higher behind the fence rather than at ground level.

Park empty apart from a bike with no wheels? (I though it was normally cars with no wheels) and no cache. Had a walk about park and found a two cm wide strip of paper with a staple hole at one end, looked like the remains of a cache log book. Guess its gone.

Was in Levin for work but was there a bit early so decided to go around and clean up a few caches before my meeting. Arriving at the Marie Street Reserve I soon realised why the cache was named so, I was a bit luck this morning as I was early and it looked like that all the residences of this area were still tucked up in thier warm beds. A quick walk to GZ and I was able to find the cache within a few seconds, signed it and replaced it back to where I found it, what an interesting spot for a cache, thanks for placing it here and for bringing me to this spot. TFTC TNLNSL (4030)

ok so i was seeing no body i am safe YER RIGHT boy see me and run right up to me and seem to know what i am doing i kind of said a game and must not share with any 1 ( but hope he forgets ) still good hide

Thought this was going to be tricky when we arrived, as there was about 6-7 kids on the playground. Decided to use the daughter as a decoy, but she wasn't holding their attention enough, so mum went over as well. Between the two of us, we managed to turn them so their backs were to dad (& the cache). They were very "chatty" & high fiveing & fist pumping - obviously no one had told them not to talk to strangers. Got the job done without them knowing a thing about it. Got the FTF but I suspect they could be a problem if too many other cachers arrive.

Found with geodatum and Wil677. Glad to be in a group for this one - it could be very tricky by yourself. Even so we were getting some stares from adults and had to resort to "group photos" and "checking phones".

Co-operative effort with wil677 and edvern, as we needed to provide diversions from our real task. There is no way to keep out of muggle view here. TFTC

Quick find TFTC ss_girl
