Can’t see the wood for the Kauri Trees (Waikato) Cambridge, North Island, New Zealand
By Andersen Family on 29-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3BNB6

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Temporarily disable for maintenance as I can see it’s missing? Will try fix soon.

Not sure what we were meant to be looking for, hint didn’t really help. Hasn’t been found in a while, gone perhaps?

Took a moment or two to twig, but then... OK. Heads up - the host is loose and might go away soon?

We had a nice early start today so we were here before most people were up and about. The grass was really dewy so we both got we feet getting to gz. We had a bit of a look around and after a couple of moments I discovered something that required a bit more investigation. Sure enough there was the cache. A really cool cache that gets a favourite from us.

We are in the North Island to try to complete the PWGT Tahi section so we are having to head to the far north. Along the way we will pick up a few other caches that take our interest such as those with lots of favourites or size large or letterbox caches or some that will just help us to fulfil some of the various challenges we are working on.

With the new souvenir challenge we need to use the app to log the finds, but as I like to waffle on and write my stories on my laptop I am writing these while back at the campervan.

Thank you for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Great find

That was incredible! Good find, took a while but finally figure it out! Good one

Took a while to find this second time round, was getting frustrated

This one is one of the coolest ones i have found so far

Very fun to find!! Took us awhile

Such a creative hide! Loved my adventure today ️

Couldnt find, can someone confirm its still here

Found

Awesome spot very hidden from the world but not mites!! Tftc

Now i see why so many fav points! This also gets one from me. I was abit confused for abit but then had an aha moment as it could only be one thing there lol. Awesome cache, this one was my highlight for the day! TFTC!!

Almost gave up when we found it! pays to be hands on with your environment. Thank you! Awesome spot

Cool, lots of bugs, bring bugs spray (ants)!

Found it )

It's a real mess in the area with downed leaves. Found some old beer bottles. Nothing else.

Epic ants

Thank you

Great hide thank you so much. Lockdown fun!

Sooooo coool

Have been out of the game for a while. But found this cleaver little cache while out walking our pet lamb. Was a fun one to get me back into it. TFTC

It has been a long time since Team SEAC did a numbers day, so we jumped on the chance to join when Keylev initiated this day. We started at 8 am and got home around 11 pm, and attempted most caches in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and finishing with a night cache in Huntly. On our mission today was Keylev, UncleSamNZ, Liverkiwi, Draffin, B4Dawn and HeMaLuDy. Caches were signed with SEAC to save space.
A very clever cache here. Thanks for the effort that has gone into this.

My first full day with Team SEAC! Very excited and a little intimidated! Very fun!

Omg love the camo! Well done!

It had been quite a while since Team SEAC had been on a caching road trip together so a plan was hatched for a day trip to clear out Cambridge. It was a long but fun day, as we cleared out Te Awamutu as well, with the promise of not leaving it so long before our next roadie. All caches were signed SEAC to save space.

This was find #19 for the day. Nice to see something a little different, great camo, TFTC!

Like the Willy Nelson song, Team SEAC were On The Road Again. It had been quite a while since we had gathered to go on a road trip, so a trip to Cambridge was organised to clear out that town. All logs signed as S.E.A.C to preserve log space.

A very clever cache. As we approached GZ there was a fair bit of scratching of heads as to where the cache could be found. We looked around and around, but then somebody decided to try something. Well, what do you know, there it was. What a great idea to hide a cache.

TFTC

A number of Team SEAC banded together for a road trip day out targeting Cambridge and surrounds and ending up with a night cache. As per usual there were laughs, dramas, cache finding and a generally fun day!

Wow fantastic cache here! Took a few moments to work out what we needed to move to get the cache to reveal itself.

Thanks for the cache - fav point!

Very cool cache. Gets a fav point from me. Out with Team seac from Auckland.

A quick stopover in Cambridge en route to Ohakune but wanted to grab a couple of highly rated caches with the whānau before we set off again. This was easy access from the Top 10 and even though I was onto it quickly, we all marvelled at its excellent construction. The container was swimming in a mini spa pool for dead ants, but it’s still clearly an easy fav point cache. We were visited by a very friendly pīwakawaka which I always associate with positive geocaching experiences, and this proved true once again! Thanks for the great cache at the posted coords!

What a very cool cache this is right beside a glorious river! Favourite point worthy for sure! TFTC

Took a while but yay found it. Super Awsum!!!

A sunny day caching in Cambridge.
Fabulous cache.

Loved this hide....kind of hidden in plain sight .
Keen to give you a well deserved Favourite Point .
Well done!

Having been in Hamilton for the night it's now time to make my way back towards Wellington. Stopped here for a quick find, safe and dry. TFTC

Cool find! Maybe a bigger container as couldn't fit any of my trackables.

Such an awesome cache!! Really enjoyed find this one

Such a beautiful little grove, and a very cleverly constructed cache! No ants today, unlike the previous finder - perhaps the rain kept them away! A fave point from us! TFTC

Certainly a nicely constructed cache, sadly it seems ants have made a home here, they weren't very happy when I extracted the cache, TFTC

Was making a quick stop on our way home from the Tron and saw this curious one close by. Took a mini detour to check it out. We walked straight to it and it is a very well designed camo, impressive and nice work! FP from us

Our 2nd find for today and that was a cool one. Did not expect that.

Found instructions in post, no container

Nearly gave up but enjoyed the clever hide when I found it. Thank you. Enjoyed walking around the 2 bridges track.

On a belated Xmas break with family in Cambridge. Quick find, coordinates bang on. Many ants in hiding spot, otherwise all good. Tftc!

Found this no cache container tho....

Final cache of the day on a beautiful summer's evening. Luckily I went straight to it despite the excellent camo. Nicely done! I could hear the sounds of kids swimming in the river nearby. TFTC

Seen this hide on the YouTube a few weeks ago!
Amazing!
Found it during one day visit in Cambridge!
【T】【F】【T】【C】

Great little leg stretch on a long road trip. Cache found easily, also inhabited by a family of ants! Tftc

Heading home from a weekend in the Waikato we stopped to find this highly favourited cache. We were able to park opposite gz, and find the cache before the next rain shower. Love these caches that are in plain sight. Do not love that some of the kauri trees are showing signs of kauri dieback. We were pleased to be the first to sign the replacement log.

New log added today. All good here now.

Awesome hide. Very clever. No log book so couldn't sign
Have photos of cache if owner needs proof. Worth a Fav point for sure. TFTC

Needs new log sorry I didnt have a spare on me today.

Out around Cambridge today geocaching in the sunshine. Found this great hide. No log book inside so could not sign the log. Sorry no spare with us today. Have photo if CO would like proof. Favourite point from us. Thanks Andersen Family.

Spent a bit of time looking in dark places...wasted a lot of time but was relieved when I found it...excellent hide, I'll add another favourite, tftc

I must be stupid it's nowhere I can find

Wow this was my firs Geocache adventure with my wife. We went everywhere on the groove trying to find it and I couldn't believe it when I found it. It was a nice surprise

I was heading down to Rotorua for the plaque unveiling for GC45 - the first geocache placed outside of the US.

Today I was targeting high fave caches around the city centre before heading back up to Auckland. I parked across the road and rushed over to GZ. Thankfully no muggles appeared as I quickly spotted the cache and signed the log.

Great cache and fairly easy to find but great hiding place amongst the trees and scenery

Took us a while to figure it out but so much fun!

Favourite

Founded we acsadently founde it

Found it. Looked everywhere. And almost gave up and then something told me wait...lets have a second look. Very good hide. No ants this time. The travel bug out. Thank you

I'm on my way down to Palmerston North for a few days of caching. This was a stop along the way. Took Earthborn - 12 Days of Caching 2007 Geocoin. TFTC.

Another tricky hide

Lewis found it this time

Our first point looked around everywhere and couldn’t find it. On to the next

Dropped off a couple of TB

Found ..fab hiding spot

Great hiding place, took us 3 goes, ants everywhere I'm afraid. Thanks for the hide

Super hard for us new geocachers and found it by accident but was super great to find

I can see why this cache has so many fav points, one from me as well. Cache was covered in ants so had to brush them off first but at least they were not nasty biting red verity. Thanks CO for the cache.

Very cunning. TFTC

Found it 2nd time round. Certainly is hidden with in. Great 1. Thanks

Very nice one, I like caches like these
My Lottikind and I signed the log and went on our way...
