Hey, could the cache owner please check on this cache? It's been over a year since it was last found and there's several DNFs.
First stop on a stroll around the eastern bits of Gisborne today was Harry's Fields of Dreams
Damn nice hockey field they have here,
and plenty of places to whack a cricket ball around [^]
I wandered around the grounds,
and at GZ poked around,
for any sign of a cache
A few spots fit the clue nicely,
but after checking each twice,
I couldn't find a trace of a cache
DNF no 1 !!

Stayed at a motel right across the road from this cache so when we checked out in the morning decided to do it, sat and watched a game of hockey while we were here too, nice place , good hiding spot as well, TFTC
Found it with in half an hour, took 2 pairs of eyes looking for it , but was relieved when we found it. Lots of muglers here today so was very cheerful TFTC
We had to go for this one as it was the very next to the very nice and recommendable motel we had choosen for the last night.

On a motorbike road trip from Hamilton to see some parts of the country I've never visited before. The scenery over here is stunning. Anyway, I had a little downtime last night and decided to go for a stroll. My Dad wanted to come with me, so I gave him a quick lesson in caching and he used his mad skills to find the prize. Thanks for the fun.
Harry and the Hendersons is a new fav film of King Cache, so when he saw this on our 'nearby' list, it was off and over to the oval to check it out. Managed to find it with few problems, but as we went to retrieve it a Police Dog car pulled up and two Boys in Blue and and their K9 companions turned up. Harder to nab a cache and not look shifty and suspicious with them around, but we managed. Signed, sealed, replaced. Thanks for bringing us to a new-to-us park.

Searched thoroughly with The Huhu Grub, Mr Chillipips and 3 GPSs all in accord as to where it should be, but can't find a trace. Hope it is not really missing! Enjoyed a quiet afternoon stroll on the grounds anyway and remembered all the times I have stood on the sidelines cheering on hockey matches. Cheers
