As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

19-Jul-14
Right in view of a window and many people in the area, we were careful to be as unobtrusive as possible when retrieving this one.
 
16-Jul-14
Parked up in the nearby street, gorgeous day for caching and anything else really... cache soon spotted.

Good hiding place!
 
27-Mar-14
I thought it was about time to visit out east to do some caches. This was the sixth for the day and as I approached the GZ I had a fair idea where the cache might be hidden. I was right but had to be a bit sneaky as there were workmen working on the building nearby.

Cheers for the cache.

When we first got here the place was busy with a children's birthday party so we headed off to do another couple in the area and returned when there were less muggles around. A nice quick find.

After initially looking in the wrong area, and my kids picking up many discarded beer cans and bottles thinking they had found it, we rechecked our position and finally found the cache Smile
 
19-Dec-13
High muggle area but a super easy find so not too bad Smile
 
13-Dec-13

Having spent the day on Waiheke, I couldn't resist one last cache before heading home.
Nice quick find, now home to a bath. TFTC
 
21-Nov-13
A lot changed since playing here as a kid, with farm land all around.

Labour Weekend/Auckland Mega 2013.

My last official cache on this excellent weekend before we head home. Took a wrong turn and stopped to get our bearings. Spotted this cache instead. A quick find but the paper is damp. My pen couldn't cope, so my handle looks more like a child's scrawl. I did the business while standing within the branches of the tree. A pedestrian passed a few metres below and was none the wiser. TFTC
 
10-Oct-13
No Air Scouts to bother me today, though the traffic was beginning to build just after 5pm. Logbook was a little damp, though I'm not sure why as the container was well sealed and plastic bag in place. TFTC

A quick grab today after work to keep the August streak going. No scouts about today but definitely a lot of traffic on their way home!! TFTC! Smile
 
06-Aug-13
Number 6 in the 31days of geocahing, August 2013. A quick easy find during lunch break. There are quite a few more close by that'll I'll be coming back to look for during this month.
TFTC
 
05-Aug-13
Quick grab while driving past this evening to log Day 5 of the 31 days of geocaching...

Judging by some of the other logs, I hope I got the real cache! Wink
 
30-Jul-13
A very nice view. And the box was quite easy to find.

Thank you very much
 
29-Jul-13
No scouts needed a little search
 
29-Jul-13
No problems with muggles as Samora354 and I found this cache. Thanks for the cache.
 
21-Jul-13
The logbook is saturated and the replacement piece of paper was very damp. Dried it out in the sun enough to be able to write on it without ripping it, but it really needs a replacement log in a ziplock bag (sorry we forgot our caching kit today).
 
21-Jul-13
In the area to visit the Secret Island, so throught we'd make the most of a wonderfully sunny mid-winter Sunday, and explore Pigeon Mountain. So we parked next to this cache to start with, and then headed off for an assault on the summit. TFTC.
 
15-Jul-13
Nice find but needs a new book Sad
 
13-Jul-13
Easy find finally. I thought I was no good at this
 
13-Jul-13
Found cache laying on the ground. Found the holder in the hint item so replaced back where it should be.
 
21-May-13
Up in Auckland for work for a few days and with some time to spare before getting down to it, it was time to go and find a few caches. Well that's interesting. I found a container in a location indicated by the hint and the log there was indeed soaked thru. I put a new piece of paper in the plastic bag which I signed. Hope that's all OK. TFTC, Biggles.
 
14-May-13
Fairly quick find where I thought it would likely be. TFTC
 
14-May-13
Found it quite quickly, but the log was soaked and nothing was legible anymore so we put in a replacement log. Hopefully it will stay dry for a while but maybe CO should check it out, TFTC
 
14-May-13
All Good, There Seems to be two seperate containers up here, the old one which is broken and got muggled and replaced in the wrong place, which I have no idea where it is, and the new replaced container which was replaced 3 or so months ago. The previous finder must have found this one. This is the intended one.
 
14-May-13
All Good
 
10-May-13
Only needed one to knock today off but with a find rate of 1 in 4 and with the rain not yet begun felt another was needed. Approached from totally wrong direction but no problem and log was wet but not as bad as the only other I found today. NINO TFTC
 
22-Apr-13
Unfortunately, the logbook is soaked and needs replacing.
 
21-Apr-13
Found quickly however the logbook is soaked so we didn't write on it.
 
05-Apr-13
Easy find, the log book was soaking but managed to scribble somthing down, sory i didnt have a new log book on me to replace it with, TFTC.

The air cadets need a longer runway. They have is a twisty BMX course with heaps of ramps, but little room for big air. Cheers for the cache, Captain.
