No joy for us too. Muggle free, so had a good hunt...

I did this the other night with head torch all to no avail, did this again today during daylight and still never found it.
Some muggle was sitting less than 5m from the cache. I thought he was a council worker but he was still sitting in the same spot when I checked again an hour later...

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz
See rebel98 log, had a look up at the cameras, no officer looking for a cache, not a new car! Thanks again for the hide.

Another clever hide, looked up at the camera and smiled. Carpark full of cars waiting for owners to come home from work. The rain held off, and we had another success
Out with TuisReturn finding caches while at the MEGA
Another good find here. SL TFTC

Managed to find a park and Kaisho53 found the cache!
This is Day 2 of our trip to the Land of the Long White Cloud for the 2013 NZ MEGA event in Auckland. I joined Gunnie69 and Kaisho53 for a fun packed 5 days of geocaching adventures.

After suffering a very hit and miss attempt at the Blues Clues series, Ghostgums, Kaisho53 and I were pleased to find a cache between the DNFs. Arrival at this one saw Kaisho53 all over the hide and he brought it out for business within seconds of hitting GZ... He's good like that...
With the ceremony out the way, we wasted no time in dropping it back and hitting the road to the next... [^]
Cheers ishoot.

Spent some time caching in this area today while in Auckland for the weekend Mega Event. SL TFTC
Found during the Mega weekend. The weather turned out to be much better than expected, and we enjoyed exploring all the walkways, nooks and crannies. Many thanks to all the owners of the great caches we found.

Sent RuruNZ out to retrieve as I appeared to have parked just in the right spot without knowing it. Can see this is a well used area for commuters going into the city. At this time of day wasn't full at all thank goodness but never the less still felt exposed as it is under cctv surveillance!
Found on our MEGA long weekend.
Kiwicampnut just happened to choose the perfect carpark and after waiting for some commuters to clear the area it was a quick find.
Thanks.

A very quick find for our sharp eyed six year old. His ten year old brother was quite put out.
Nice and easy when ....note again to self....read everything twice and then read again...
Got the biggest fright from the speaker announcing the next gain while retrieving this. Nice quick find. A little bit damp - dried as best we could.
Would have been quick and easy , but a Security guy was there having a snooze in his car ....we must have looked a bit dodgy !
Absolutely no one in the carpark today so made a quick find. Glad to see the security cameras pointing away from GZ. TFTC.
Nice find while my sis was at soccer training. Did not read the title of the cache until now and realized how easy it would have been if I had. TFTC ishot
Our last find for the night. Great to have a nice easy terrain to finish off on too. TFTC
Perfect day for caching, wet enough to keep all but the hardy indoors, but warm enough to be comfy. Thanks for the hide
Hahaha, I didn't realise that the cache had been missing when I last found it till now when I read the logs.
I had arrived at the GZ today, and had an almost instantaneous find! I was so frustrated with myself, and how could I be so blind?! Grr!! And it wasn't now till I read the logs and realised that it wasn't my sillyness that made me miss the cache! - Slightly relieved actually that I am not blind after all!
And what is up with it raining when I go to this cache?? Lol, then again, this is just Auckland, and a sample size of 2 is not very representative!
TFTC!!

Passing by when I noted this cache on the GPSr. Looked like a convenient drive-by given the passing shower. Parked up near GZ and made a super quick find. Hey, the rain has gone. Cheers for the cache placement!
Did not need the pic. i parked my bike, and then got the cache then rode off again. Hope no one is monitoring that security camera.
Quick find while the kids were are at the water hole swimming, I was walking the dogs and picking up a few caches on the way.
Nice quick find with no commuters parked here as its Sunday today

Sneaked off during daughter's soccer game at Parrs Park to find a few caches in the area. A nice quick find. Like the cache name. TFTC.

Thanks very much to ishoot for replacing this cache so quickly. We had tried for it the day before but were convinced it had putonitsrunningshoesanddonearunner! TFTC

Early morning drive-by...checkup...cache gone, so I replaced with new cache /log.
In same spot, please use stealth when retrieving/returning to hiding spot. Thanks

Hmm... DNF on this one, however, I didn't have the image on the GPS, and the name of the cache also cut off on the GPS after the word log... so, it may still be there, but I searched for ages... but now I want to have another go with this additional info...
No luck with this one ...oh well, can't get them all. We searched all over for about half an hour at what our GPS said was GZ. Have to come back some other day.
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
Was out in the early morning fog, making our way through the Blue's Clues series, when we noticed this cache nearby. We had actually parked in the park and ride carpark, so the cache wasn't far away at all! A quick find.
Thanksforthecache!

Rode to this one after a DNF at the new and nearby Blues Clues bike trail. Pretended to be checking our tyres as Mrs Gm123 made the grab ... those cameras made us nervous!! Cache all dry and safe .... now to take our weary cycle legs home!
It is time to venture SW from my Home coords and pick up a few caches this morning.
Arrived to find one of the local youths parked up on the seat and didn't look like moving anytime soon. So I went off and did a few other caches before returning and hoping he had gone. Yippee! He had.
Cheers for the cache.

#6 of 6 for the night (including 2 FTFs) - not bad for an impromptu caching adventure
Furbs even managed to log the cache without falling off the seat, just. TFTC.

A Quick grab at this time of night, An empty car park, Grabbed cache and returned to the nearby seat to sign, nearly missing the seat and nearly falling on the floor.. Boy that would have been funny the others commented.

Arrived in the dark with Furbies and Loz47 - a suspicious looking box of muggles was parked nearby - but they quickly got spooked when we jumped out of the car, and drove off.
Made a quick find, and Furbies got the honour of logging our names - that's if he could be trusted to actually sit on the seat by GZ - instead he managed - somehow - to nearly fall on his backside off the side of the seat!
Log signed and we were on our way - nice bit of on-speck night caching - thanks for the caches

I was able to park almost next to the cache and the container was quickly located.

Nice and easy find! great little series. Fun for the kids and grown ups too! TFTC!
Out and about to collect a few caches before lunch. My kind of drive-by. Maybe a little closer to the car so I can reach without getting out?? Thanks.
Finally stop over for the snakelion family before heading back home. Plenty of parking spots as ishoot mentioned. Quick find for us and headed back home.

Called in at the last minute to play indoor netball with evilno9, we figured it was a good excuse to pick up a couple of new caches on the way home. Stopped in at this one, and there wasn't much action happening, so managed to park the car with the headlights pointed in the most optimal direction while evilno9 dived into the bushes and pulled out the find! Nice hide, TFTC.
Swung by this evening after netball for a bit of a look and wasn't too surprised to find a nice empty car park. The car was positioned for maximum hiding effectiveness anyway and we had a nice quick find before heading a little bit further down the road for one more. TFTC
Popped out for a quick find. Admittedly had not even read the complete title of the cache before I came to log it! I'd thought about placing something here a while back myself. FTF #1041 TFTC!!!
Got in from grocery shopping and saw the email. Decided to leave it as thought unlikely to get there first. Half an hour later, still no log to say it had been found, so decided to do a 28km detour on my way to the butchers. Arrived at GZ, and saw someone near railway lines. Thought surely it isn't down there. Turned out to be a NZ rail worker. Waited for him to move on, then made the retrieval. As suspected I was beaten to it. TFTC
Grabbed it after a late finishing job. Not surprised to see who bet me to it after meeting them at the recent leap year event
We were out this way on official cache business and noticed a new one had appeared in the area. As instructed we parked, found the cache and signed the log and we didn't take offence to having no available clue TFTC.
