Logs
Previous found log implies that non CO may have replaced log without the code to go with.
Does this replacement cache have the 3 digit code that it's supposed to have? There's nothing to say this was done with any co-operation from the CO.
Out picking up a few Kapiti caches today. This one was pretty obviously AWOL, so I put out a replacement cache, hidden as per the hint.

Was in the park with my granddaughter hiding painted rocks and decided to have a look for this one. Climbed the fence, my granddaughter got the fright of her life when a partridge flew from the grass! Looked at where the coordinates took us but found nothing except broken glass in the fence. Went to look at the horses nearby afterwards. Looks like this cache has gone.
The GPS and hint seem to suggest a location that cannot be reached without climbing over fences. But I did that anyway and there were a couple of places that matched the hint but I couldn't find a cache.
I'm new to geocaching and was itching to get out after dinner to bag a cache. Alas after much searching all I got was a lot of mozzie bites!
headingfor wellington for work so grabbing a couple on the way, and needed the W for the next part of this series.tftc
#2236 I had todo some work i Palmerston North so stopped by here enroute as a brief detour and enforced rest stop. A quick find having leaped over the fence. Code gathered and recorded.
All good at GZ - log dry etc. Thanks for anothr Skindo cache.

Raced out of he warm car to leap the fence and discover the hideout. Remembered to grab the code and replaced with s little more cover. TFTC
Out for some fresh air and a walk with a few caches thrown in, this being the first for the arvo.
Wandered into the tip entrance and over the fence where the cache was soon spotted - signed log and returned it to its hide.
Thanks for tha placement skindo.

Almost completed first level. No props with find today. Code obtained. Thanks for the cache.
#2229. I got a leave pass from home to do some geocaching up at Waikanae today. This cache was high on my list as I try to track down the remaining caches in the series. Pulled up near the GZ and climbed the fence to get to this cache. It was located in the first place checked. The cache was in reasonable condition. Gathered the code and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding it here.
Tracked across the park but hesitated at the fence. I'd have passed this by but for the entries in the logs. I still didn't feel comfortable so a hurried in, grab and out. TFTC
Went this evening (can be quite busy during the day), just enough light left to find 
So we knew we had to climb over a fence based off other posts, so sent kaleb over with no luck so I climbed over and soon had the cache in hand, we watched people riding horses for a bit before carrying on, thanks for cache placement.
Like others had to scramble over the fence (between cars going to the recycling station). Easy find after that. TFTC
Nice easy find on our way up the coast. Nearing the end of the first level of the series. TFTC.
We too like a previous finder had to climb the fence as we could see no other way in, this did seem rather strange as it almost looked like private property. A quick find for Mr CD once over the fence. TFTC
It took us a wee while to find this cache. It seemed a strange place, and we eventually decided climbing the fence was the only option. TFTC
Found today, another one ticked off in the series, contents all dry. The little bear made friends with some nearby horses. Tftc
Had a couple of days staying in Paraparaumu and manged to get quite a lot of caching time. Fair bucketing down for a good portion of both days - hence some very very short logs in an attempt to keep the logs as dry as possible! Thanks for the caches, neat area to cache in.
A muggle loitering near by or maybe a geocacher in disguise. Lol. Nice walk amazing how you don't know what's in your own back yard.
Nice walk even though the skies opened up over twistiedog, mrudderhd and myself. The cache was a wee bit visible due to the weather but covered it well with more pines after logging our find. Left SWAG and swapped a TB. TFTC
Decided it was time to make a start on one of skindo's legendary challenges. This one is the closest one to home for us. Very easy find tonight with tylerdrummond as cache was quite exposed. Dropped off a tb, replaced cache and covered with pine needles to aid with its stealth. SLTFTC
Easy find this evening with Hamish.D. This challenge looks like fun so Dad better take me along too or shout me a premium membership so I can do it myself. Dropped of a TB and wish it well on it's journey. TFTC SL
Coordinates perfect and cache was just sitting out in the open waiting for us:) Have placed it in the way the hint suggested. Tftc
Another nice quick find while out and about caching today with tmann421. TFTC skindo
Walked across the park from the Waikanae Park Vista cache. A quick find, log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache, on holiday from the UK

J and M Found quite easily while S and E went for a run. Didn't have a pen so validation in the photo. Thanks
A short stroll to this cache. Found quite easily, but I'm sure you couldve found a nicer location that this for W @ Waikanae. After all Waikanae was voted " Best place to live" in New Zealand by North & South Magazine not so long ago.
Getting to add another clue to this series of caches, as well as another interesting visit to this particular location - which are quite varied in themselves in this series, thus far.
Cache in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found. Clue harvested.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
From here on in the day just kept getting better and better!
The Turtle strikes again!

A quick find after a loop drive via Ashhurst, Masterton, White Rock, Upper Hutt and back to Feilding at the end, phew 600kms and some good sights today

Initially drove into the recycling area but once we had sorted out that was the wrong approach the cache was soon in hand. An easy find as the cache was very exposed so I built it a little geopile before leaving.
12364… Glad to be able to collect another code in the Alphabet Series, still a long way to go, many thanks.
Quick park and grab once I'd worked out which object to search. Another off the spreadsheet. TFTC
Nice quick find after lunch today. No need to do any recycling today. T4TCSL
A quick, easy find given the cache was out in the open. Re-hid a lot better after signing the log.

My first visit to Waikanae for well over a year so made sure to pick up another clue in the alphabet series, a nice quick find.

Walked past the GZ initially but after checking a couple of spots soon had the cache in hand. Another one ticked off and slow progress being made towards the next level. TFTC
In, couple of trackables.

Cache was quite visible on arrival so left a little better covered. Job done, TFTC
Last cache of the day - another 6 collected. Still a few to go though - TFTC !
Embarking on the "Grand Tour" of Manawatu to complete the first level.
This was our first stop on the way.
As always with this series, easily found.

Mr Wombatseeker found this one as Mrs Wombatseeker was sniffing around wrong place. TFTC
Lots of recycling action today with vehicles going to and fro, but luckily good parking close by. TFTC
easy enough find. The site was very busy while I was there, and particularly stinky too. TFTC Skindo.
It took me a while to figure out how to approach this cache but once I spotted an entrance I was soon at GZ and had the cache in hand. Not sure if I was supposed to go the way I did but it worked TFTC
TFTCFind #1427. Another great day on the bike on the Kapiti Coast. A quick find on a quiet day. SL TFTC

Another @ cache down today. Was a very quick and easy find. Did with Mycro Man
An early morning trip up the coast to look for a couple of caches. I was keen to get this one to keep the A to Z series ticking over. TFTC
