Disabling until I can check this one

Gone again ; time to re-think this one.

Looks like it may have gone

Couldn't find this one.

Nice hide. Missed it first navigation round. Picked up on double check. Contortion ability preferable.

Found it

All good, but pen broken.

Looked carefully, but then I had to just close my eyes to find it. TFTC.

Hubby at a meeting in Hamilton so have an hour or so to kill. What better way to kill time and to get out and walk. Quick find at GZ T4T$ SL

Was great to have the help of supple grandson here. Old bones getting a bit stiff. TFTC

Searched all sides of the 3D shape then found it TFTC

Quick park n grab on our way home, taking the more scenic (and geo-cachey) route.

Couldn't find it. Not a good sign.

Checked this today & yes, appears to have gone, replacement cache now in place

Heading to Hamilton for an event tonight. We were a bit apprehensive, when we woke in Rotorua with heavy rain on the roof. We told ourselves that it will not be raining in Hamilton, so headed out into the gloom.

We found the sign, but after searching all over, under and inside it, did not find anything to sign.

Pathetic help from the teens and need for loo means a no found.

Yay quick work to find parked the car to hide from traffic.

Nice quick work by the absent.doctor found this one. TFTC,

Nice quick find. T4TC

Quick find

Tftc,

After finishing some work out beyond Morrinsville I had some time to go and find a few caches before I had to head to the airport and home. This was the first one I found and it was exactly where it should be. TFTC, Biggles.

Yay #30, Picked up a marble trackable which wasn't logged into here. TFTC

Didn't see the Happy Birthday trackable.

Quick find while trying to be inconspicuous. Thanks for sharing the history! TFTC!

A big thank you to all the geocache owners for being our “tour guides” in New Zealand while we are on our short holiday visit to this extraordinarily beautiful country! We traveled the North Island in our little camper van and we came across minimal damaged caches and we only had very few DNF’s.

"Groete" all the way from South Africa!

Spent a lovely day geocaching on our way to the Pi International Day in Hamilton. Sobering history eh. Easy find, cache in good condition. Great place for a picnic lunch, we found... TFTC

Interesting to read about some history of Hamilton. Tftc

Almost a Hamilton classic, I've done a few like this over the years. Good hide though.

TFTC

Great find on quick trip to the tron. Someone was camping at the site! Dropped off 2 tbs. tftc

#381. Once we starting archiving our caches, we found just how many 'new' ones we had not found in Hamilton.. so with the Christmas break, we can find a few.

We have found at least a couple of others around this spot, but we will grab the smiley anyhow!

TFTH, TNLNSL.

Out to our favourite berry shop to pick up goodies for christmas and time to break our longest slump at the same time. Very annoying how work and study and things can get in the way of caching tftc

Easy find

Easy find once couple on their phones had left

My first North Island find after arriving in the North Island. The mouse is on his way to the South Island. TFTC

On our way home from picking strawberries so it was a quick one thanks

On our way home from strawberry picking. Good to be able to park to hide our activity.

Taken a couple of weeks to collect this one, waiting until there was no muggles about, thanks for the cache.

Another good cache find while heading to the Auckland MEGA event.

TFTC! Easy find. Dropped off an item.

Great easy find

Heading home after an evening in Hamilton, couldn't resist doing a few more caches.

A good hiding place, took us a few mins to locate the cache. We were working by torchlight but the road was very quiet tonight. SL, took diabetes TB, left a couple of small swaps. TFTC!

Was looking too hard. Easy find. TFTC.

First day of the school holidays. Set myself a goal to make the hunt more interesting. Didn't count on heavy rain though... Left Rotorua in rain. Once over the Mamakus, the sun came out and looked very promising.

Driving past, had to pull off the main road and back track. The first thing we noticed was the significant amount of rubbish... A CITO Event in waiting. The nephew was eager to find this, but I had to move him on as he was being too obvious. Found the cache and left a TB. What an unusual location for a monument. TFTC.

TB Drop. Safe travels.

Thanks for the info - wow 12 kids! TFTC

Nice hide TFTC

Nice hide!

A nice quick find. TFTC

Nobody parked here this morning so no muggle problems.

after finding a similar one to the north of Hamilton I knew where to look but still had to twist and turn to find it. tftc
