3 in a hole (Franklin) Clarks Beach, North Island, New Zealand
By Kiwiz@GZ on 19-Oct-12. Waypoint GC3YZNA

I will not be accepting any more logs for this cache as its now been archived.

The clue and the title made sense once I got here, but no joy finding anything.

Found the 3 in a hole, but not the cache. No finds in a while, so could do with an owner check.

Didn't find this one. Gave up as neighbour was watching

Could not find sorry

Could not find sorry

Excellent hint. Found cache soon after locating hint. TFTC

Cool hint, found it quickly after locating hint

Good for thinking. Tftc

As always determined to find. Took a couple of tries, rethinking how the hint might help. Was all about the approach. TFTC.

On our way to Clarks Beach this afternoon. Thought we'd try find some caches in the area as we hardly ever come out this way. This was probably our most unsuccessful day caching since we began! We looked around and around, but I think we must've forgotten our geocaching glasses today because we just couldn't find it.

This one took a little time to locate, but Mr stik-a-crane made the find here luckily for us.

TFTC.

It was now getting dark and the dogs had their fill of beach walking, and EIR-OT had managed to bash her head on an overhanging tree down on the beach, so she was to the end of walking. so ducked into the car for a short drive to GZ.

Knew where we had to look after reading the cache page, but it took a little longer than first thought...

Quick find tftc

Today hoped to find enough caches to reach 3300 finds. Falling short of goal today as we were beaten by the rain,dark and the number of repairs we have done.

5.05pm - Busy corner, found container which we hoped was cache and moved on. SLTFTC

Gap (of Fap and Gap) and I are a long way from home... We are pushing into Franklin District today and looking for caches to put towards some Geocaching Challenges... We also hope to reach some personal milestones too...

The day turned out to be more of a rescue mission. So many caches we visited required maintenance or total replacement. The state of some caches and the frequency in which maintenance was carried out by us was quite alarming. Luckily, we came prepared.

We circled this PUB (Public Utility Box) to admire the artwork. Then, we found the hint reference. Not sure if we found the original container, but we did find a cache... TFTC.

Nice easy find on a beautiful day.

this was the second go at this cache ,just about gave up after 15 minutes looking but went
back for another look and spoted the clues and whoope another cache in hand.

First of the day visiting the erea after 30 years good hide many thanks

First of the day after an overnight in the area. Love the artwork in the area TFTC.

Was on my way to a friend in Clarks Beach and needed one for today...so this one was great to pickup.
Easy parking and great painting

Found it!! TFTC

Quick stop on our attempt to do 50 in a day and at least 1km apart for the Geocaching Licence. 42 down, 89 to go. Still a few to go and darkness getting close. TFTC

Great painting, and nice easy find, tftc

It didn't seem to be in the right place. but I returned it to where I found it. TFTC.

Cool Cache - neat hide which took some working out for us

We decided to visit this area whilst on a the month holiday in NZ an we are so pleased that we did as we adored the area

Many thanks for the cache. We have signed the log as HJJ & BDI's Sir & Lady Harveyjj & B.D.I.s and dipped our trackables

Found today with Sir & Lady Harveyjj. Another fantastic piece of artwork - talented painter(s)

Please forgive the generic log as I'm logging as & when I have access to wifi so details of individual caches have become hazy, however that does in no way detract from the time and effort you as CO have put into your hide - that's very much appreciated.
We're in New Zealand on an extended holiday and have loved every minute of it.
We're very grateful to you for placing caches which have led us to some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The logs have been signed either in our individual caching names or as T2 (being Sir & Lady Harveyjj plus B.D.I's)
Cache returned safely from whence it was found.

Thank you and greetings from the UK

Lovely how they paint up these places. One of the best I've seen . Nice quick find while passing thanks.

Great spot for a cache. Spotted the 3 in the hole and made the find quickly after that. Great view on this beautiful corn field. Reminds me of Smallville every time I see one. TFTC

No, no

NO NO NO...

Lots of traffic today so felt very exposed. Took me far too long to see the significance of the cache name, and even then my hand groped around everywhere except the right place for so long. Great to see these amenities being decorated and no graffiti.

Found. Thanks.

Cute paintwork. TFTC.

During our visit to this arm of the Manukau. There is a sense of invasion impending for the summer holidays.
Straightforward find, as per instructions.
Cache in order, log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Took us a little while to find but got it in the end tftc!

This was a clever little cache and love why it's called three in a hole!

Awesome for the kids to find. Admit is a little uneasy with the kids but use your car!!! This one has got my friends hooked now too. Keep it up Kiwiz

Nice hint and great picture

I do like the paintings.

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 3. I am not sure what I missed here, but I did not stay too long as it is very exposed. Thanks.

Parked right in front to try and distract any neighbouring muggles. Just love the way Counties Power put artwork on their HV electrical kiosks.
Many thanks

Nice little cache. Log a little damp but otherwise okay.

A Good Easy Find with doandhopers, TFTC. Nice clue

Quick easy find with Flossy 63. Looked once couldn't find .Flossy felt once and BINGO!!. TFTC SLTNLN

Wasn't sure about the clue but soon made sense once at GZ for an easy find, TFTC.

A quick grab on the way into Clarks Beach and clear out all the other caches in the area. Nice title/hint/clue

Thanks!

It is time to pick up the odd cache in the Franklin District this morning. A nice quick find which was just as well with all those houses over there.

Quick Find while in the area. TFTC

Had a good look but no luck with this one

nice stash, our 2nd cache found

Nice little find, though had to be sneaky by the road full of muggles though! TFTC

having a stroll around Clark's beach after kayaking yesterday..looks very different with the tide out! found this one quickly but quickly dropped it when we found it lidless and with a load of earwigss !!! once they'd left were able to fill the log but didnt have anything to seal the container with.. so next visitors be aware...

Two tries. Two nopes. Hmm.

in the dark

good place to hide it man i couldn't find it the first time wow

Got there in the end, however made it much harder than it needed

TFTC

Quick find after work this evening to fill a blank spot on the calendar. Its good to see more of these transformers painted up rather than the boring green colour! TFTC!

A cache gets published less than 100m from home while I'm away for Labour Weekend. Bloody typical!! Great to see the artwork progress.

Waited and waited but couldn't any longer, ftf for Kiwifamily

Heading home from caching in west due to visiting family.
