Cache removed.

Log book nice and dry: coordinates spot on. TFTC

Yay!

New logbook and container.

8 April 2017 12:07. Cache very wet and logbook full. Emptied water out best I could. TFTC ADV

Added so extra paper for more logs TFTC 216

TFTC. Logbook is full and needs replacing

Nice hide. Log needs replacing though. TFTC

Log is damp but the waterproof paper works well. No real space in the log either. Needed to shoehorn in a sign. Luckily this was a quick find because there is heaps of traffic on a Saturday and it's a single destination road.

Yay! Log book almost full and a bit soggy!

Nice find when I was at the supermarket!

Interesting place for a supermarket - all alone. A quick find with the helpful hint. Tftc.

I'd got to my first target rather too early and found it overrun with muggles and their offspring so this provided a quick easy fill-in while I waited. TFTC

Cool place to put it. Nice cache.

A quick find here today although I did have to convince myself it was there as my eyes were playing tricks on me lol

Found with 05brock a while a go. Sorry for late log

On my way home. A quick, easy find

Decided to grab this one the rest of the family did the supermarket shopping. Nice easy find with the hint - just had to dodge the muggles. TFTC.

Interesting spot for a super market... Cheers for another cache ADV. Gets us one closer to catching you miles off tho. Tftc

Easy find with the hint

Nice spot. Took a second visit to spot this one.

Quick find, thank you!

A quick find and was doing some shopping so had my cover story sorted. All in good order TFTC

Second time looking. Quite tricky. Small rock.

Found it

That was nice and easy, mind the stinging nettles though! TFTC.

First discovery ever

Thank you. Found it.

Found ample parking
and a short stroll down to GZ, where GPSr and hint merged into a smiley!
after extraction and signing ceremony was completed, had to wait for a young female to move on before replacing the hide.
No issues with camo / cache / log
Cheers

Quick find late on a Friday night... now another car has turned up and I'm waiting to replace it... TFTC

Stopped by for supplies, and found the cache. Thanks for the little bonus.

Tftf found this easy with Captain maloco

This one was easy. Thanks for the Fun.

Tftc nice hide views

Scoped out a few likely spots after a walk (or two) past. Quick find once the GPS settled and between passing cars. TFTC!

In Wellington for work Thursday and Friday, up from Christchurch. I managed to get an extra day in town for a bit of Geocaching and exploring around the city, Lower Hutt and Porirua. After finding the oldest cache in the country I had a handful of others down on a list, that would get me to some interesting places, as well as fill in a few gaps in some statistics and challenge caches. Spotted not long after getting there. TFTC (2388)

6994. Pouring with rain today so decided to drive to Porirua for lunch. Did this one on the way. A very quick and easy cache - plenty of parking! This place was not here last time we were in Wellington! Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Nice spot. TFTC

This one took longer than it should have with the GPSr not wanting to give readings below about 15m and then seeming to send me in different directions. Not too many options though so after resorting to instinct and the Hint the cache was soon in hand.

All in good order, TFTC.

At long last! A little selfconscious but not too bad really. Thanks!

I looked for this when I was very new to geocaching but couldn't find it. Today, after shopping, I tried again and found it easily. TFTC.

Found today, it was lying in the garden out in the open, returned it to where we assume is the right location. TFTC

Another quick find after Cito event

I often drive past this supermarket on my way to meet Skaga to go on some amazing caching trips. I had the chance of having a couple of hours spare today so thought I would grab some of the trads that have been teasing me along this route for a while now. A nice quick find but I had to do some serious muggle dodging as I seem to have chosen the busiest time of the day to tackle this one.
TFTC

First time visiting this supermarket and thought I'd have a go at this while I was here. Pretty straightforward, even if a little prickly! Attached photo as proof of find (due to not having a working pen with me). TFTC

Found after a bit of hunting, got pricked a bit by GZ. TFTC

The site has changed so much. Suspect development has altered the terrain.

Checked today, it's still there.

A very dry island that nobody has looked after. Cache however in good condition in its warm, sheltered abode. No cocktails in sight. TFTC!

Found it on a very busy Sunday morning. Lots of standing around looking dodgy as usual. And also number 400 yay.

Not quite as the photo depicts it but we get the idea. Nice simple find however the "grab, sign and return" part of the game took quite a bit more time and effort! Managed it without muggle intervention though so all is well. SLTFTC

Ahh such a tropical paradise overlooking Arohata...
Tftc

Easy fine while getting wine!

#445. Well it took a while to figure out what the island was. I spend too much time on real ones so I am bit slow with recognising the other types. Once that was sorted it was quick find using the hint. TFTC

Yes. Great tftc

Nice find in the dark

Find 01 of 08 for the day and #1758 in total.

Stop here for breakfast, supplies and of course a cache.
Great view of the correctional facility.

("\(0o0)/") Thanks for the caching fun!

We were up here yesterday without realizing there was a cache nearby, but what better day to do it than the one when they are closed!

A quick find and sign while out on a mission this morning.
TFTC

Log book is very wet - cache itself is fine where it should be. See log below

Quick park and cache for us today - just managed to get our names on the log, it's a bit (soaking) wet! Thanks for placing

Nice find today - thanks

NOTE: log really wet and needs some help!

Cheers, TFTC

Visiting my 9 week old niece...oh and her parents, and went for a walk with my sisters dog - had to grab a cache or two while I was out and about...My GPS died and had to rely on the phone so it took longer than it should to narrow down the search area but found it eventually. TFTC

Alas the paper is now rather soggy. I placed fresh paper in cache. I was in the wrong corner at first but changed direction. Nicely hidden.

A nice quick find after stopping at Countdown on my way to Porirua today. TFTC!

Last morning in Wellington do a final chance to grab a few caches before heading to work and flying home. While grabbing the caches is great I can't say that I manage to get in much sightseeing in the dark.
Being so early in the morning the area was quiet so no issues with passing muggels

Thanks for the placement

#477 easily found. Log is pretty fragile and slightly damp. Might need some TLC

quick find in the dark! thanks

#946 Nice easy find on the way past. TFTC- good to have another smiley in Tawa.

A quick easy find in an almost deserted area on a Sunday morning. The log is dry at present. TFTC

log very wet so dried it out and signed.

Log indeed very damp. Tftc

Nice easy find, found after I did the shopping. Log book a bit wet. TFTC

Good one it needs some tweaking TFTC

Thought I'd take advantage of the no trading laws and found this one when the area was very quiet. Found the cache no problem & took it back to the car to sign a very damp log. I had to wait for three mugglers to realise the supermarket was closed and depart before I could return the cache.
TFTC.

Quick find while completing a local cache raid, log quite soggy and hard to sign. TFTC, #6461

First find! TFTC all in order

Saturday caching find.
Straightforward, all in order; log signed and cache safely re-hidden.
TFTC
The Turtle strikes again!

Find #1867. A few hours to kill on my way home after a job so spent some time cleaning up the active caches in J'ville and Churton Park. My favourite supermarket spot - if there is such a thing! Glad to see the cache in an accessible area which only entailed a quick retrieve between cars. Celebrated the find with some $2 grapes. SL TFTC

Found with -tink and matatuana

Found it with paisynsmummy and matatuana. Quick easy find.

Log very wet. Needs replacing.

Nice easy find with -tink- and PaisynsMummy - log sheet very damp. TFTC

#18543 - a nice spot for a cache, parked illegally , thanks for showing me

Tftc

Just joking regarding cache count

Very quick visit to this holiday paradise to start an afternoon of caching in Tawa. TFTC

Despite the availability of coconuts, mango and paw paw I think your picture is misleading. There was a definite lack of ocean surf and uncrowded beaches (crowd - no beach). I did not check out the resort as it looked rather exclusive. Possibly the rain has clouded my view (holiday spots always look better in the sunshine). I will not be recommending on Trip Advisor (but maybe geocaching.com ).

Quick find after some shopping
TFTC

...and then purchased a hot chicken for a picnic meal on a sunny evening!

Sat down for a wee rest and then found it.

A quick find in the drizzle... luckily it meant no muggles around. SL TFTC

Popped into the supermarket today and thought I wouldn't waste a nice day. I was surprised to find this one less than 100m away. Nice hide.

Quick find with @daikininz TFTC

Quick find while out with CachingInNZ for day 2 of our anniversary trip. TFTC.

Dad did the finding while mum and kids did the shopping

Last cache for the day, while out on a Xmas-eve cache hunt in miserable weather today. Just starting to get nasty again while at GZ

Thought this would be more difficult due to the large nearby enterprise, but cache positioning is such that I could easily recover and sign with nobody taking any notice of me.

TFTC!

TFTC
Quick dash for the cache
A few muggles around but ok.
Cheers ADV [^]

Quick easy find, thanks!

Found with WaffleKitties - she spotted this one from the car on the way there!
