100 Shooting Stars - Auckland Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By neatad on 01-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3PKET

Hi neatad

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

8 DNFs in a row. Can we get a check on this one please?

Searched around for a bit but upon reading others logs we decided that if Chris and Bruno couldn’t find it neither could we haha

DNF

Came to look for this again two weeks ago but it's nowhere to be found.

Can we get the CO to have a check?

Tried but unsuccessful

Looked around in the long grass stomped us this time

Dnf

Couldn’t find. Looked for awhile but so overgrown.

After fixing the toilet at the beach I decided to do the cachs near by.
Cach is still there safe and sound.

Photo of the cach is not in its normal home.

Very over grown, almost twisted my ankle

Didn’t see any stumps near the coords, but a nice tree. Searched the tree, but found no cache!

Thanks but didnt have luck today

Couldn't find it. Probs someone stole it or something.

A bit of a challenge for this one completely over grown

My first find was a good hiding spot. Very cool

GPS was spot on. Great hiding place, TFTC

Noice I found it it was hard but I found it so yeah nice hide btw

Hard

hacked around for half an hour but no joy. we shall try again

Tyfc, great to do old DNFs

Quick easy find. Tftc

Well this was a tricky one...

I was out with TeamCacheventures on a fine day and found some geocaches on the way.

TeamCacheventures told me that they had searched for it multiple times to no avail.

So, we checked in a ‘different’ spot, and found the sneaky cache!

TFTC

F.Y.I: Found this a little while ago but logging now.

Looked for ages but couldn't find a stump. Will have to come back another time.

Awesome!!

**Out for a big walk in our neighbourhood, and finding the odd geocache along the way**

This geocache had ‘stumped’ us (Just happens to be the hint) — we had had about three attempts of this and could not seem to find the container.

So, back we went today whilst on a walk to seek for the cache. Luckily, after only 10-15 minutes we found the cache in a more disguised stump.

Log is a bit wet and ripped — might want to replace.

**TFTC! Thank you for taking the time to set this up **

10 mins later...

Another find for us in the park this afternoon.Started to look in the wrong place to begin with but once we found the item in the hint it was quickly spotted.Again we were still unable to get it open and have taken another photo for proof.

Well hidden

Bring a pen

Found it together with Piratenschatzsucher! and GreenKiwiKids. It was laying on the ground and we put it back into its supposed hide.

Our first cache for today. The first totally obvious place was empty and if you read the hint, it's clear why: It is just the wrong place... Then we found a rather promising place that was more like the "hint item", but it was empty as well. But we found the cache eventually lying out in the open and put it back in the place where we thought it would most probably belong. Signed as team piraten. Tftc

Found after a while. Tftc.

It took a bit of a long time but was able to find it in the end. Great Cache

Good hide.

Out flying kites with teenagers on a windy school holiday day. As is often the case for geo-cachers, it just takes the right angle of approach! Rather wet log book. Tftc

Found but not easy to locate. It was fun all the same

Found

Looked with TeamCacheventures, couldn’t find...

Could not find anywhere

Couldn't even find a tree stump

Looked hard and long but didn't find anything:(

Did not locate.checked all around

Had a good search in the area, but there is so much wandering dew and thigh high grass I couldn't locate the hint items let alone the cache. Didn't let this stop me from searching but in the end it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

No luck

Was upsetting the plovers too much for a good search

!

Another day on the calendar that we wanted to up the Find tally on, so we headed east to cache at Bucklands then Eastern Beach.
We strolled down to GZ where the cache was quickly discovered. We had read in the logs that the logsheet was very wet, and in fact it was sodden at the bottom of the tube. We had come prepared with a strip of waterproof paper, so added that to the container. TFTC

Sorry, I no longer live in the area

It seems all of Neatad’s caches aren’t maintained anymore. Sent a message a while ago (No Reply) and are hoping for logbook and Cache to be fixed soon

A nice pleasent day, able to knock off a few caches and take a few nice walks without the weather catching us out

The logbook is wet, so should have a check.

Found it on the ground. Replaced to its orgin location ... Wet grass in the area. Very wet ... TFTC

Didn’t have enough time to find this cache. But we where less than 100 meters close to it! We will try next time with more time to spare.

Actually found this cache on the ground and not tied. Log was a little damp but possible to sign. Replaced in a convenient hole but possibly not exactly where it is meant to be. This is a great park for the geodog who had a good walk and run here today. Thanks neatad.

????

Hidden in bushes

Thanks

Up in half moon Bay on an errand so I had to grab the mandatory cache from the visit.
This one had me searching for a while but a bit of patience and I spotted the stump.

Cheers

Found at the second attempt. Couldn't find an obvious tree stump. started searching to see if it was under ground cover and soon had cache in hand. Abit trickier than expected.

Second time back, finally found it
Thanks

It was rainy

Team Welsh rang up and suggested another day of caching. Who was I to turn down an invitation like that. It was nice out East Auckland today. Even though it is a reasonably steep slope there is a lot of water on it.

Cheers for the cache.

Out with Panda0505 picking up the last couple of caches for a Tufty challenge. Had a little chuckle to myself as Tufty was the last to sign the log in this cache. There were some magnificent views today as not a cloud in the sky. TFTC

Jag50 and I were making the most of the stunning weather to find some more East Auckland caches. There was lots of sporting activity on today, but no one noticed us sneaking into the bushes. The log was a sodden mess so we replaced it with some waterproof paper and a new plastic bag.

We were out today with Merlot58 and enjoying what was going to prove to be a just stunning weekend. Clear sky, hot and no wind. Sports was on but no one paid us any heed. The log was very wet so we replaced with a nice new dry log.

FOUND IT!!!

Found

Couldn't write on log sorry pen wouldn't work. Great cache location

Went searching on Saturday morning after cricket match. Took a few minutes to find, great hiding spot. Log sheet is full (and wet) and needs replacing, and bag is wet. Tried to dry it out a bit, but it needs a new sheet. Safely hidden again. TFTC

Found it. Coukd not sign log book as it wet, plastic bag in tube leaked.

GPS was spot on. Well camouflaged stump! Wish I'd bought gloves as there's lots of spiderwebs

Very well camouflaged stump! Tube dented and so wet inside couldn't get the log out even though in plastic bag. Otherwise a fun find

Haha, this one had us going round and round. Stumps are good at hide and seek tftc

This one had us going around and around. This stump plays a good game of hide and seek. Couldn't fish log out and looks quite soggy as well tftc

Very soggy all around and a very wet log. Thanks for the cache.

Today our family went with some friends and did the Maclean's Park walk with the genuine canine Sherlock the Puppy and his canine girlfriend Sky. When we arrived I was asked by some of the kids if we could go 'treasure hunting'. And so off we went. However, after about five minutes, two of the three kids wanted to hang with the dogs, but one whom we affectionately call 'Little Red' was keen to stick it out. So this was the third one that we came to, after your earlier one on the mountain bike track, and then the other one close by placed by switchy. So after we zeroed in on GZ this one was quite a straight forward find. Once again I have included photos of our adventure. Thank you neatad for taking the time to set this one up. Much appreciated. TFTC.

Log is very damp and needs replacing

Good clue but stump is not easily visible . Log is very damp
TFTC

A grand sounding name for what was a fun but prosaic little hide in the middle of this dog park which our geohound Albert loved. We can only assume the name refers to the night sky here which must be quite something. Lovely views out east made this a nice place to visit so once we signed the wet, but signable log and headed off to find another. TFTC.

Back in Tamaki Makaurau again for a few days so decided to cache out this park. Somewhat muddy underfoot but just managed to keep my socks dry. Muddy splashes to the knees. Luvverly!

Very squishy underfoot but easy find. TFTC

Nice hiding spot, log very wet but managed to sign.TFTC

A very wet area this morning so was quite damp when getting there. The cache is also quite wet but the plastic log page made it okay to sign. Could do with a new bag for the log; sorry I did not have one on me. TFTC.

My GPS seems to be all over the place.
I signed the log on the same day as my neighbour, but I haven't caught up with her.considering we came from Manukau it is a coincidence that we are caching in the same area.
Log a bit soggy.
TFTC

Found it!! It's very damp and messy Lol

Pretty challenging, take something to wipe your hands coz its a bit mucky

Found it , pretty damp might need a new container soon.

Found ... Mrs McMike2012 & I decided to go somewhere different for a Saturday morning walk ... & to nab a few caches as well ... parked nearby & headed off ... this was the 4th of 6 for the day ... the cache was easily found & quickly replaced ... TN:LN:SL ... TFTC ... #1,308 for us.

Wow. Tricky. Not all tree stumps are the same.

After visiting the other caches in McLean's Park, I decided to go for this one, despite the searing sun. I approached the bush and thought oh no. I went in, came out, went in and came out a couple of times. The GPS was not very useful either. Then there were lots of wasps around, so I decided to abandon the search, for health and safety reasons!

Need a new sheet

Easy to find and a nice walk.

As I approached, I was looking for the item in the hint, but didn't see anything. Ever after a quick peek, nothing. I looped around looking in all the usual places, then spotted the hint and then the cache was not a problem. TFTC.

Today yorkshirekiwi83 and I decided to return to East Auckland for another part day of caching - basically continuing where we left off yesterday and the weather was even hotter than yesterdays! Took a quick stroll through Macleans Park to locate the caches along the pathway here. This was a quick find at GZ, TFTC!
