Chicle Cache --( The NZ Cousin) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By G-2 on 02-Nov-12. Waypoint GC40M26

Need to fix

Had its day

Second time with no luck for us. Stumped

Still no clue.

Tried before and tried today without success, unfortunately. That’s also part of the geocaching experience. Thanks for the challenging cache, maybe third time lucky?

Tomuch traffic as sports were on. Will be back I'm weekday evening

We didn't take too long finding this one as we have seen a similar hide elsewhere, but even so we still exercised caution just in case.
Further investigation into the name and hint afterwards have made the situation even clearer.
It's nice to learn something new. Thanks G-2.

Our first cache of 2019.Spotted it pretty much in the first place we looked but really did fool us as something that we didnt want to touch.Read some previoua logs and took a further look.Not seen one like this before.Becareful if wanting to sit here as seat has seen better days.

Not sure when I found it, long time ago

With some good clues this was a nicesich- new word... find we think. Chewing the brains for a few moments till the idea struck with a moment of trepidation. Like your thinking G and a seat to boot made this an easy decision to adding another...u know what. better find some more caches so we can add the points.

Replaced in new place.

Ok

Mia

Did not find

No luck with one.
I think i know what i was looking for
But to many cars going past for a good look.
Jak the geo dog had a rest here.

Tried to make a go of some of the caches in Rosedale Park today. After sifting through a few previous logs, I managed to find an additional hint in the name. Very clever and stoked to be able to find one like this! TFTC G-2

Absolutely stunning day to go out and look for Caches. Never seen this before. Seats are a mess but cache is perfect

Cad é an craig? Nice hide. First time ever seen like that. Previous Finder is right. Seats are in bits here. Took a photo of cache as logbook was hard to get out for me. Last hide for today. Many thanks for great day in the area.

South seat is damaged however cache is fine

Out ticking off our 365 Day Challenge. This was nearby so stopped to find. Have seen one like this on the web but first time finding one. Nice choice of cache name. Thanks G-2

Heading out of the Park, I stopped here for a quick PnG. Haven't seen one of these in a while. TFTC

Tftf with k-adventure lol I read cliche.

Once found it wasn't really sure if i wanted to touch it haha. But after paraonegirl sorted out a clue i knew it was it, so grabbed it. Tftc

After the CO visited and confirmed it was still there I came back for it today, this time I knew I had to find it, I translated the hint, searched high and low and Google anything I could. However j over looked something very crucial and it wasn't until a friendly prompt from the CO did my brain light up and I knew exactly what the cache was. I have heard stories of similar cache styles but never found one like this myself so was quite fascinated by it, I'm surprised there isn't a lot more in the world. Glad to have it ticked off and I see why you have so many fp's. I don't think I will ever forget this cache or find another one like it so Thank you. Another one of our fp assigned to another great cache by you. Cheers.

All ok

Part of the seat is broken now and no luck finding anything else resembling the cache sorry

No luck; struggled even to find anything mettalic

No luck for me today. I do wish I could have some stats on how long I spend searching for G2's hides. It should be interesting. Coming back for this one!

FITW DOM849

In the North for dropping DOM's phone in the Samsung service center. I found this one pretty quickly but DOM was not at all sure about it. But finally grabbed it, signed it and placed it back. tftc.

Nice hide.

After finally locating No Mans Land this afternoon, I was good for the hunt. This proved to be an easy find as I went collecting other caches in the area. TFTC

Even though I knew exactly what I was looking for it still took longer in the dark than it should have. Got there in the end. Daily cache done Signed the tiny log 'KS19'. TFTC

Another clever G2 hide, I'd found a similar hide in Amsterdam so once I knew what chicle meant I knew what to expect. I don't think the magnet is working but the cache tucks away nicely in it's hiding spot without it.

After previously visiting GZ in the rain and having no luck, I came with Merlot58 and it was her more experienced eyes that spotted this cache. First cache of this type that I have seen.

Wow great camo. Icky! Tftc

Re-found to sign the log, did so successfully (my bad!) Had a bit of trouble getting it back in, hopefully it's all good

Found the chicle, after accidentally destroying a part of the surrounding area...

Couldn't find a log with it though? Not sure what's happened to it =(

Ew! Found it, but no tweezers today unfortunately.

I was in the area and had some spare time. So what else was there to do but find some geocaches. I had looked for this one previously but DNF.

Decided to do a few near my school. Weather a bit iffy.

A rare weekend this month when the whole NZtravellers team was home, so we took advantage of a lovely spring day today to wander around the Rosedale park area and complete some caches. Watched some baseball, enjoyed some nearby lunch and found a cache or two. Had lots of fun, with some great camo’s and one or two tricky hides to really get the geo-juices going!

Mr NZT initially spotted this one, but let missNZT attempt to find it, turns out its the first time she has seen one of these hides! TFTC

The rain come and goes today, but no problem here. Co-ords spot on and I found the little blighter after sitting out the dozen or so cars trying to get out of this street. Where do all these damn people come from? Don't they know I'm on a mission today like very other day! very inconsiderate I say.

Seen a few of these cached before. Nice hide tftc

Glad I stuck my finger in this one before I looked or I might have left it well alone.

Oh the evil of excellent camo. I looked at this one like an idiot for a long time before deciding to check the dictionary for some meanings. Soon had the cache in hand and marvelling at my first find of its kind. TFTC!

Nice hide. You need patience to get log back.into cache. Log is not full!

My daughter and friends went shopping for the day at Albany. GAR took them in this morning on the way to a business meeting and I was to pick them up. I left early so I could take the opportunity to spend a few hours caching instead of working. Found myself drawn this way by GPSr, after managing to pass one while driving - had planned to walk back to it but ended up walking in the opposite direction. Oddly enough have seen a hide like this not too long ago and made a fairly fast find. Pretty cool. Now trying to remember if this was the cache with an almost full log or not - had thought I would remember but obviously need to start taking notes! There were a couple of almost full ones in this park. Thanks for another of your good camo caches Glyn!

Since I knew what the cache name meant, and I have seen these before, (I have a Geocachic memory), the dastardly G-2 mind was thwarted for the first time this year. "Go raibh maith agat" for the cache.

Searched for ages and ages for this one, but we soon realised what we were meant to be looking forward, and very quickly afterwards came up with the goods. Our first find ever of this kind, so a very exciting one at that! Thanks for the hide.

Great camo and would be easy to mistake for something else! TFTC.

Parked up a short distance away and walked back to GZ. A few cars leaving Rosedale Park but we had enough time in between to scout around for this one. We had no idea on what we were looking for but we had enough info as to where we needed to be concentrating our search. A few minutes went by before we came up with the goods. Very nice camo glyn! My first find of this kind in Auckland. TFTC!

Came a but unstuck but got it in the end. Tasty cameo

Yick. Took a little while to find as the GPS was pointing at the tree. TFTC

Took a little while to click to this sticky one but reading of others experience helped us to locate it .

Today the weather was not very good so we figured we just have a nice long walk in the countryside! There always is something interesting to see and find!

I have never seen anything like this! Only because I couldn't let it go I actually found it. Well, another log helped. Just great! I am still amazed that I got it

Very nice cache. Thanks for hiding it.

Very gorgeously (or another adjective beginning with g) done. Bravely poked with stick and shortly signing. Glad we walked the extra block on our circuit back to the car. NINO TFTC

Looked everywhere the hint suggested, but no luck.

This stumped us first time round so pleased to get it this time. Found it relatively easily once we made the decision it was worth touching. Nice hide

Took Super Nanny to find this. Wonderful container and hide. TFTC.

This was truly amazing !!!! We were searching for a while but couldn't find anything resembling a cache .....Then I saw something odd,,,,and nearly didn't even pull it out ...and it was the Chicle Cache !
Never seen anything like it !!!! Way cool thanks Glyn !

Nice one.
TFTC

Well, not the container we expected. Cool. Tftc and keeping us entertained

I thought this one looked interesting, but Reveurs had already done it. So I was on my own looking for this one. An interesting hide, haven't seen one like it before. TFTC.

Found it but struggled to sign log. Pen wouldn't write on it. I have photo proof if needed.

Thanks for the creative hide. I've not seen one of these before.

Out to fill in a calendar day, ran into Mapper Ted at GZ. TFTC

Was passing by in the car with a few minutes to spare and this cache showed up on the GPS. Didn't have a clue what the cache name meant, nor the hint, so took a while to spot the odd looking object that turned out to be a geocache. Had immense difficulty getting the log sheet inside the cache, so had to leave the last bit. Thanks for a cunning and unusual hide. I enjoyed the search.

Good hide

14005... Didn't get too stuck on this one... Nice, TFTC.

Cool couldn't write on the log

I have found the cache in Melbourne and have hidden this style of container myself. There is no lid on the container but the log remains dry.

Very nicely hidden cache recognised the container as soon as I saw it as I was planning on buying one myself. Tftc

Very nicely done. Took a minute or two to look for anything obvious but nothing stood out that we could see. Did a bit of research and had an idea which very quickly resulted in the cache being found. First time seeing anything like this, and very nicely done at that.

Great cache, thanks again Glyn

Amazing find! O__O one of the best hidden ones ever. In the whole world, so far, I'd say. Awesome. Much cool. wow. etc. Thank you!!

made some serious efforts on this one. I'm, not the only one that tried to 'dig' about based on some to the seats. Chainsaw next time

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We were in the area this afternoon, so stopped by this nearby cache. Had a good idea what we would be looking for, so found the cache fairly quickly - it took a lot longer to remove the log sheet (even with tweezers!) Eventually the log sheet was safely removed and signed. The lid/magnet are missing, but the cache still sits in place OK. A nice hide, TFTC!

Was up in Auckland for the mega and popped out to collect some caches in the area. This cache was easy to find because of the huge number of cachers in the area. Thanks for another cache and getting me out and about. I had a great time at the mega and these caches added to the experience.

Got a munzee find here too good value
Found as part of flippers NZ Mega conquest tour of 2013.

Day 8 of our Mega roadtrip to Auckland. This was one of the caches we found while picking up rubbish at the CITO over the Mega weekend. We were just leaving the park when we saw kittykatch here and she didnt mind me jumping in on the signing party. We have seen this type of cache in Christchurch before. Thanks for the cache

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 18, In Auckland Region, Northshore. NZ Mega Auckland Day 3. Caching with Sol de Lune getting to the extra event activities. After the event we headed out for more local caches, a few had high differences between the listed GZ and the actual location, but we managed to out think the errors and locate all of them. Thanks.

Back from the Pokey Flashmob and moving on to the CITO. Event after event when a MEGA is on. Loving it
Seen a few of these. My first was on the Gold Coast as part of Herbz, IPS (in plain sight) series.
Great containers.
TFTC

Out and about early to notch up a few numbers on my last morning in town. The hide was a little different to what I was expecting but was found soon enough. Cheers and TFTC

Brownie came along as well to keep those Km's ticking over.

Reperio at 1025.

I stopped by here on the way to the CITO event, and I expected there to be more geocachers hovering around...but instead...I had the place to myself. A short search around soon had the cache in hand, and I learned in the process what a 'chicle' is.

Gratias glyn.

Found while heading out from the Mega CITO event. Just had to pull over and try to grab just one more. Glad I did - this one's a beauty. First time I've found this type. TFTC gets a fp from me

Up in Auckland for a few days for the 'NZ MEGA Auckland 2013'.

Day 3 of the Mega and the day was spent attending events and grabbing caches in between. A fun way to spend the day...and to finish up with the BBQ down at the beach was very nice.

Thanks for all the caches and sightseeing around Auckland.......
