Obelix's Menhir Store (Northland) One Tree Point, North Island, New Zealand
By rednuam6 on 17-Nov-12. Waypoint GC41F7Q

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Needs checking. Erosion is an issue.

Nothing to find here.

Saw all the previous DNFs but thought we’d give it a go. Searched for a while but no luck

Sad

Sadly did not find this one

Also spent quite some time here but alas no luck.

I was fairly sure where to look but again I think erosion has probably dislodged this one. Checked between many an obelisk.

We don’t found anything

What a view TFTC

Thank you

On A road trip with Dee+ME from Tauranga. Have been having a poke around here and there and been taken to some great places, many thanks to all you COs for your placements. Cheers

Out and about with McJandals.
Thanks for the walk in finally sunny weather
Cheers

Found after abit of exploring TFTC

Found this one on a walk along the beach on our way up north on the 26th September.

We found it! What a nice view! TFTC

A nice well hidden container tftc

Beautiful spot tftc

I was staying in Pahi with the Jags and Aiden29 for Easter so plans were made to collect as many caches as we could while we were up north. This one didn't take too long to find

We decided to get way for Easter and stay in Pahi with Merlot58 and Aiden29. A climb up to search but quickly found.

Headed up North with Jag50 and Merlot58 to stay in Pahi for the long weekend. We were at Marsden point, and headed up this way to find caches along the beach. A quick climb had this one soon in hand.

Very nicely done, TFTC

I'm back in this lovely area caching for the day. My kids have all enjoyed Asterik books. I was hiding behind the bushes signing the log when a walker passed. I had a nice chat to him about the far north where we both live and geocaching. He kept thinking it was Pokemon as that's what his grand kids were into. Close enough. An easy find, thanks

768 An afternoon at One Tree Point

Found it

No one at the shop this morning but that is not surprising as it is a great day to be out on the boat scalloping and fishing. Located the order book and placed our order. Thank you.

During a walk on the beach obelix wasn't at his shop so I had to place my order in the order book.
TFTC

Quick found, tftc

Seemed quite out in the open so placed a little more discretely. Liked the log book very much!! SL TNLN TFTC

Carried on further along the beach to this one. Quickly found and was able to lodge my order for 4 menhirs. Just hope Asterix comes along with him on the delivery run.

Was a big fan of Obelix when our French teacher at school introduced us to Asterix. Loved the comics. Is the M&M consumer as big? Thanks for the cache Rednuam6

Found it in good condition all safe and sound...tucked away in its we hiding place ....thanks for the placement at a great place for a cache...its very peacful here

There were a couple of girls sunbathing right at the bottom of the stairs, luckily the cache was a bit further around, nice easy find, thanks

Good hide.

Easy find nice container

Found when the tide was high, Awesome cache!

Today we left Mangawhai heading towards Whangarei.
We stopped to pick up some caches along the way.
Thanks for placing this cache rednuam6

CZECH
díky za kešku i když to byla trochu mokrá procházka

Had to google 'menhir' but once we did the cache was soon in hand. Thanks

Fairly quick find TFTC!

this one took a little searching but once located area was able to find. Seems we found the old one as there is a big gap in logged dates. None the less Tftc

Nice arvo for a stroll

A wonderful day for geocaching. Beginning with a few geocaches on some back roads going up to Whangarei. First checked all the wrong places until I found the right spot. tftc

Good quick find....loved the sculptures...

#11050. We enjoyed our walk along the harbour. Troodles had no trouble finding the (original?) cache. TFTC.

Another glorious day in Northland and today's destination is Marsden Cove and surrounding areas with lots of caches finds both going to and coming from the area.
The cache was an easy find, but I was surprised to see that the last finder was YuGeo in Dec 2014. Checking the logs, I see that the cache had a string of DNFs after YuGeo's find and the cache was then replaced. Obviously I have found the original container and there are now 2 caches to find! Can't understand the DNFs as the cache was in the obvious location.
Liked the menhirs, and none were harmed in finding the cache. TFTC.

Out and about for the afternoon with CB to find a few caches in this area. We had a great day out and had quite a bit of fun. A couple of finds proved quite eventful too, I explain what happened on those logs. Thanks eveyone for the hides.

Thought I was going to have to give this one a miss as there were a few muggles nearby but luck was on my side as there was a bit of tree cover between me and them. Checked a few spots before locating the cache.

It was a bit of search but we found it TFTC

Found in this nice little town together with Keeszoekt of the Netherlands , on our way back to Auckland , thank you for bringing us here, excellent hint, spot on
TFTC

Quick, easy find. Thanks!

Thanks for the walk down the beach. We were lucky enough to find a trackable when we were there.

thanks.
Hamish.

On our second day at Newzealand our way goes to the North. And at this place we wanted to see the beach - and there I found this cache really quick. Nice Idea, this "Menhir Store"-Story

cool

Cool find, watch for muggles on this one

Find number two. Happy birthday to me. Such a brilliant day - first proper spring day and a fab place to spend it. Found with Vanquish. Left Ellie TB, took nothing.

Found with HappyFacedBandit thanks for getting this cache up and running again

[red]+++ UPDATE +++ [/red]

After visiting Riser5's Maker Madness event yesterday, he kindly offered some containers to replace lost geocaches, so I took one to do so at this place. Because I think this beautiful spot is definitely worth a GC. So have fun finding this one again!

[green]Well, I guess I could log it now...

Big Geocaching day up at dawn and not home until dusk. attempt #27. We looked for a while and placed my arm into a couple of likely locations but alas no joy. Nice walk to site.

Didn't find this one. We did a good search but I was reluctant to disturb the banks too much. I know the erosion of these cliffs is a big issue as the extended family live nearby and have had issues with erosion. This cache may need checking. Thanks for an enjoyable walk along this track

Another DNF. Please check on it...

Had a good look but feel it may have got buried

3 of us checked and rechecked all menhirs in the store. However had to walk away without buying.

Adding our DNF to the others on this cache. We checked all the obvious hiding places as thoroughly as we could, but eventually had to walk away empty handed.

DNF. Hint appreciated.

A Waitangi weekend road trip to collect a few puzzle series of caches that we have solved over the last month or so - plus any other caches that we can find on the way!

Unfortunately we couldn't find this one! 2nd DNF for this cache. Missing?

Hint appreciated second unsuccessful find here

Soon found an appropriate menhir, getting it wrapped for Xmas was another story... Is postage included? TFTC.

Found this one on our way along the walkway, beautiful day for a stroll today! TFTC

Great browsing your store at my regular swimming hangout. Tftc

Lovely walk with the family. TFTC

Could manage to get to this cache at high tide and a nice wander along to get there. TFTC

No idea what to expect as we were walking along, but once at GZ it was obvious. Thanks.

Tftc

A beautiful sunny day. Felt like the first day of spring. A lovely caching walk along the beach with tide out. TFTC

This one took us a little while. I think we looked in every other possible spot before finding it. Lovely walk in the winter sunshine today. TFTC

almost gave up but we found it in the end

Oh TB! First one. TFTC

Found with fam'
TFTC

??.... But watch for the wasps!!

Found with Fox_369 and family stung in the process!!

Found it great contents unfortunately family member got stung on her face

Too much gorse and I have a very site arm from vaccines so not in the mood for lots of reaching into things do we gave up a bit quick

Enjoyed the walk today. T4T$

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Left our order for the store owner TFTC.

Went for a short walk to find a couple of these caches along the path. Our daughter has moved out to just up the road so will be back fairly frequently. a lovely evening and nice hide. Loved Asterix books as a child so a great theme. TFT good sized cache. Have a few TB's already so left Ted for the next cacher.

Beautiful day, kids had a lovely swim just after high tide in the calm bay. Easy walk to this string of caches from the beach access on Manaia View Road, with no wading or scrambling. Tftc!

A quick stop on our way north today, really enjoying the great weather and the caches that we found along the way. Nice area along here.

TFTC

Wanted our fellow travel bug and its host to have a nice place to rest, so we dropped him here. Have fun on your travels little man. x

Good spot

Dear Mr. Obelix,

Can I please place an order for 1x large sized menhir. Please deliver to Onehunga, Auckland. I plan to use it as part of my Asterix & Obelix tribute garden.

Kindest regards,

@McArgister

P.S. Picked up TB.

Up down up down, then I read previous activities which gave the game away. Once in the right place the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Took a while but I got there
