As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Needs CO check. Many DNFs

Uh Oh.... another on this list of searchers who couldn't find it. And we were pretty persistent... looked down. Looked Up... in and out and all over, under, and into. Can't help but wonder if the Cache Owner should go and check. We live locally so we're going for another look sometime.

Wish I'd read previous logs first Sad and saved myself some time.

Couldn't find it.
 
12-Apr-14
I'm calling muffled in this one. CO may wish to check.
 
30-Mar-14
Given the nature of the hint and that I have a exceedingly long arms I think it is high time the cache owner checked out all the DNFs.

DNF
A beautiful park - but no cache any where near.
I wonder if it has grown legs?
 
03-Mar-14
A day visiting Foxton and Levin with JonoS today. Started in rain which fortunately stopped managed to find quite a few with only three DNF.
Search high and also low. Think it has gone
 
Strongly suggest CO check on this cache. It appears to be AWOL.
 
Either muggled or else difficulty is far greater than a 1.5, Tall enough to see in the crooks of likely trees, and hands got incredibly dirty feeling around as well.
 
08-Feb-14
Pretty sure this one has either been muggled or become gunked up. Searched everywhere even the geokids and nothing found. Suggest owner check up on cache. Did with Wandering Dragons, Violet Butterfly, Mycro Man and Astro Hunter. Thanks for the hunt.

Log needs to be replaced. In poor condition and almost full. Recommended that new log be put in plastic bag for better protection.

An easy find if you are 6ft tall - luckily I had one with me. Felt sad for the spring flowers being trampled underfoot - which left an indelible clue for the next player. The log is very wet, paper fell apart and needs replacing.

A nice easy find on my way home from Levin. TFTC!

A find en route PN to Wellywood. Another Levin cache. Fair bristling with caches this place!
TFTC, all in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden.
The Turtle strikes again!

Did this one at night Recommend wearing gloves you don't know what your touching.

First ever cache I've found by myself. After putting my hands into all types of holes I finally found it.

#4441. Arrived at GZ, but the seat was occupied. Returned after finding another nearby cache, and the muggle had since left. Searched at GZ, but couldn't find the cache. Then as we were leaving, spotted the cache lying in the open on the ground about 20 metres away. Returned cache at GZ in the spot consistent with the hints. Covered with a piece of bark, hoping to minimise the likelihood of it being blown off again. TNLNSL. TFTC.
 
23-Jun-13
A quick find. Although I do go on the odd caching bender, I'm probably not as obsessed as I previously had been which both my stats and family will confirm. TFTC
 
23-Jun-13
Second place l looked. Tftc

A quick find - log a little damp. Nice park. We're certainly not obsessed - but it was great to make it to 1000 finds today - now for 2000...! TFTC

Had to wait out muggles going past, which was surprising as it was raining quite hard. Just pretended to be sheltering from the rain. TFTC

Quick find by some enthusiastic cachers. TFTC

What do you mean "Become"- too late, I already am lol.
An appropriate day to visit this park, unfortunate that the nearby cache in an even more appropriate place has been muggled.
A quick cache and dash with a few minutes to spare before my bus back to Wellington: I was unaware that two new caches had been published in Levin but perhaps that's a good thing because I would have been so frustrated that because my visit was for family reasons (not to mention very heavy rain showers) I would not have got near the new ones anyway.
I regret to say that I returned the log in very untidy condition- the reason for this was that the cache which isn't really of a suitable size for them is almost full of other items, and in my very limited time I could not manage to squeeze the log back in properly. Sorry about that- maybe the owner might consider removing the big item to make a bit more room- I wasn't in a position to swap it out (though on reflection maybe I should have taken it and swapped for a small coin!)
TFTC.

At 5ft 2", ( and caching on my own) I found it a little difficult to retrieve.... But where there's a will, there's a way, and found something in my cay to help me reach my goal. Thankyou. Nice hide

Found while taking a slight diversion from the main road. TFTC

Number 6 today walking around Levin,

Found this one in the lovely little park here, located quickly enough, and had a sit in the shade while signing it.

Thanks!

#4745. Would you believe mildly interested? No, I thought not Smile. TFTC.
 
12-Jan-13
Quick find
 
12-Jan-13
Obsessed? Me? Never! Most people plan weekends and holidays around caching, don't they?
The park was deserted when we visited, so after checking out the obvious spot, and not finding the cache, we checked the next obvious one and there it was!

Found on the way north this morning, walked straight to it. Nice park. Signed log, TFTC!

What a beautifully peaceful spot - yes, well we must admit to being ever so slightly obsessive about geocaching. We have been travelling almost non-stop in one form or another for about 28 hours now! Will be pleased to get home for a rest (with work on Monday) TFTC
 
05-Jan-13
I used to live in Levin and I had no idea this place existed. The things you learn through geocaching!

I had no trouble working out where this cache was hidden and the retrieval, logging and replace process was very quick. TFTC.

On the way back to Wellie, with a couple of nights in Levin at the better halfs parents, after a great New Year at Mangaweka Campground.
Nice quick find in a park I hadn't been into on my strolls around Levin.

Found on a geocaching expedition around Levin with HamishNZ and StefTheVet. Lovely park, beautiful sunny day and some gorgeous flowers! TFTC.

Never realised there was such a lovely park so close to my work, I think I'll be coming here more often with my sandwiches for some timeout! TFTC
 
02-Jan-13
Nicely hidden! Would be a great park for other hides - if it was allowed!

Miss Orsome4some took charge of this one and only needed a little help at the end as there was a slight height issue. TFTC

FTF 8:54 am So happy I nearly didn't add the date. Good hid might be worried about where to collect if muggle were around. I wanted to have one last flurry before the end of the year. 1 of 8 for the day.
