Sorry to post DNF, if this was a park and grab then it looks like it has gone as we spent sometime trying to find this and it isn't here maybe has been muggled now 
Found it after a stop at the berry farm. We'll make it to our camp site sometime today! Too many cache hunts! 
First cache of the day as we started our trip back to Auckland via Rotorua. Grabbed the cache then off to the berry farm for an ice cream. t4tc
not quick find here as my GZ was about 8 meters away only find it on the way back to the van thank for the hunt on this one TFTC and the walk log by GSAK
Visible from the roadside. So just jumped out and waited for some traffic to pass. TFTC
After reading the logs I knew exactly where to look from the car, quick pullover and cache was spotted quickly, tftc
TFTC found it today - took a while for the GPS to settle but finally located it. 
Yea found this one took a little while tho swap resist band for key ring on wards an upwards team Hunia
Was looking for a suitably sized cache container to drop off a TB and this was it, TFTC, #5459
Mrs S had a dead iPhone, so left Mr S to find the cache. Lots of traffic making Mr S feel conspicuous, so took to the scrub to check out all the "cradles". Mr S never could solve a Rubik cube and was not going to solve this one. Mrs S came to see what was taking him so long and then pointed out the obvious.

Thanks Geckoh.

Eyed up the spot for a few weeks. Dont like bush caches, but after reading the logs, i knew where it was. As easy as cabbage. Tftc
And unfound for us. Maybe too dark now. Another time maybe.

Spotted from a distance but needed much patience to be able to retrieve in between traffic. Thanks for un-puzzling. TNLN TFTC

Never got to do the original cache, but happy to do a quick park & grab today.
Left a pet rock - a hippo. TFTC

Headed out early for a epic days caching, 12 hours and 52 caches, not to sure about the other stats about the day, but I've definitely deserved a beer.
Parked close by this cache, but the GPS was pointing me to another place, had a good search around but couldn't find it, so searched the other likely place and found it pretty quickly. Since archiving the puzzle I have since gotten into these cubes.

Pick one, eat one.... Best we gabbed a cache or two on the way back from Julian's! Thanks for turning on the sunshine this year!
Nice easy find with good co-ords and clue. We particularly liked how only one direction of traffic needed to be watched. Tftc
Nice cache but took a while. On way home to Gisborne after been to Whangarei. TFTC

After a night punctuated by the sound of distant explosions of Guy Fawkes fireworks, then the sound of gentle rain, we were surprised to learn there had actually been an earthquake overnight. Together with the Pprass team we continued our journey westward. A change in our travel plans enabled us to take a detour from the PCH. We were puzzled for a while but then the cache actually revealed itself and we signed the log. Satellites today had our GZ 6m north of where we found the cache.

Found at 12:42 PM GAFF5 in the company of Phetlern. We made this a lot harder than it should have been as the terrain rating of 2.0 matched where the GPsr was indicating to search - ie deep in the bushes.
After a few minutes we widened our search area and found the cache in a very simple spot - just on the side of the road basically.
Wonder what the puzzle was all about?
Thanks Geckoh

this was hard ..... didnt think we were going to find it using the GPS but never the less Wingnut and cocky jocky dose it again.
I found this lying on the ground -must be a victim of the weather. I have returned to the place I suspect it came from but am not sure. TFTC.
No problems finding the cache. It was cradled without any cover. Another park and grab. TFTC.
Nice qick find - one of my most favourite caches was the rubics puzzle one - good to see a second one back, even if there was no puzzle this time
So glad this has been unpuzzled or we never have found it. Not a lot of traffic around tonight so quick park and grab TFTC.
My GPS had me a wee way away but there could only be so many cradles so didn't take log.Thankyou.
Quick stop on the way back to the motel after work. LOTs of traffic going past. TFTC

I never tried the puzzled version so feel a little guilty getting it this way. TFTC
