Spotted quickly, that is after I looked under a few items. CO may want to stop by for a check on the cache. Wear and tear may have changed it a bit. TFTC.
Parked nearby and walked through this park to GZ. Good clues meant we quickly had the cache in hand, TFTC
12 noon. Very clever but simple. Not something I have seen before. Some minds are obviously more imaginative than others!!!

This is just brilliant ! Was speechless when I laid my hand on it ! Awesome !
Had been before but couldn't find it then ...Thanks Glyn

Today we were embarking on finding 50 in a day km apart for a challenge. The day started well, but soon became apparent that our planning wasn't going to make the day easy. We ploughed on but after 7hrs and only 25 finds, we decided to abandon our efforts for another day, with a better plan. This was a nice 1st find for the day. Very creative hide, we had a giggle. SL. TFTC.
Nice camo as always. Had to evict a critter to get log out which made this find a laugh tftc
I visited after work to make my find for the day. Found after a quick search in the dark and rain, and then took that long again to extract the log! Very nicely hidden. Thanks!
Nice camo... eventually tracked it down after orbiting the hint item many times, TFTC.
Being early thought I would have GZ to myself. Nope, a skateboarder was busy on the footpath so had to wait till he had done his few tricks before grabbing the cache. Loved the camo, as always. TFTC.
Easy find. Started to rain just as I approached, good thing there is shelter nearby.
Found with kiwitrecker1 and the kids. Excellent camo and great location for a little cover from the muggles. TFTC!
Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz
A sneaky wee thing, that needed the assist of good GPS and the hint. Parked nearby, this road can get very busy, and walked around a few times, then found what I needed. Thanks again for the hide.

In the area because I was collecting an item of trade me, and thought what caches are nearby. Thank goodness for Miss Piggy, sorry to report Kermit was no where to be seen. Nearby, they have a problem with rats, so poison laid at the reserve. No traffic to report, and the sun is shining!
Spotted something unusual on approach, touched it - this can't be the cache but it was, very clever.

We tried to find this one back in December then realised from other logs that it was probably missing. We drove past this evening and decided to check it out again. It was dark, but one of us managed to spot the cache fairly quickly this time. Novel hide, thanks.
My grand-daughter enjoyed her stay a couple of weeks ago so she came back for another night and morning. She wanted to do a few more this morning and who am I to refuse such a request. I have been here a couple of times before without any luck but today I spied it straight away. I have now called my grand-daughter my lucky charm.[^]
Cheers for the cache.

Out caching with Reveurs. GPS was spot on and the cache was spotted as we approached. A nice hide, the first time I had seen a cache like this. Clever camo. TFTC.
I had noticed that this cache had been replaced, so when I headed out for some evening caching I thought that this was as good a place to start as any. Took a few minutes of looking but I eventually spied something that looked out of place to me. Nicely camoed and placed cache!
Back in my Auto I was planning on my next find when a police car then a second pulled in in front of me. Turns out I was parked facing the wrong way...seriously...any way they were nice enough and I regaled them with tales of geocaching. They, of course, went about stealthy about their business making sure I wasn't a wanted axe murderer. Once that was sorted it was back to my caching activities.

After approaching the GZ I realised I had been here before. Ah well on with the new glasses for another search. While searching got a weird look from a passing muggle but I continued anyway. But all of this was to no avail. It still eludes me.
Just couldn't find it. Resorted to PAF. Sounds like this one is gone. CO should check...
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 a fun morning at the reserve the CITO was held in and an afternoon event tag swapping, we headed towards the evening BBQ event location, stopping at a few caches along the way. Most were picked for being simple drive bys. Ouch two in a row we could not locate. Thanks.

Quickly came to grips with what was needed to grab the cache, Grab, Walk on, sign log, reverse, place walk on

Had had a long night Saturday after Hubbies rugby finals, in fact had stayed over with a team mate in Kaukapakapa. Didn't get any sleep due to someone's drunken snoring.
Had made it home with just enough time to grab our gear and head out to Softball. After 2 games was really feeling the effects of no sleep and too much drink, but still had a cache to find..
This was the closest unfound, so left hubby to go to sleep in the car and nipped out to find. Even with the groggy head I went straight to the cache, no problems. now thankfully I could go home to bed. TFTC

Took me a minute to spot this one tonight. having scouted down through a few logs, maybe this one isn't hidden *quite* like it was to begin with, but nicely tucked away in a not too unobvious location - 2nd spot I checked at GZ. Nice and handy parking too. I then went off for a stroll to scout around the area, and came back to find I had been muggled by Furbies and Loz47 who were busy discovering the FTF mobile (as I found out when I got home and checked my email) . TFTC!!!
In search or my daily August find, we pulled up near the GZ and found the FMZ cache vehicle, but no FMZ. Fairly easy find, even though I was looking right at it for a while until I realised what it was. Nice camo. TFTC.
Out with my best muggle mate introducing him to geocaching , this hide was found to be well hidden and good camo, SL TNLN TFTC & greetings from Aussie cachers
Sp8s sharp eyes sorted this one out very soon after arriving at the cache site. Appreciated the nearby convenient parking too. TFTC
Was heading to search one spot when something more unusual was spotted and the cache was revealed within seconds of arriving at GZ.

This piggy is a great traveller, we've stumbled upon him in many places around Auckland and even further. Nice camo, but it didn't foul us TFTC
It's been a long time since Ryan has been able to go out with the mum of the team and I forgot what a cache finding machine he is. This was found before mum even got out of the car. Thanks for another great cache and your camo is up to its usual standard.
Needed a FFED for today. Although this spot is very busy with traffic and today with an added problem of HiViz Traffic Statistic Gathers it was a quick and easy find much to our surprise. An interesting hide with a very unusual cache container which we have not come across previously!!! TFTC
I had noticed yesterday that this one had been re-activated, in fact it had never been lost, we just didn't look hard enough. This is a Glyn cache after all. Well, on my way home from work I just had to have another look, and strangely, found it almost straight away. Nice camo as always Glyn. tftc.
Didn't really know what I was looking for & really just lucked this one-thought it would be in a different position-a very good hide-tftc
Piggies fine, needs visitors, he hasn't moved at all from where I left him.
I spent a little bit more than my normally allocated searching time searching for this one but all to no avail.
First and last cache of the day. First because I did not make the find so returned at the end of the day, and last because I returned I looked for it again without luck.
Was at home when the publish notification came through for this one - being less than 1km from home I thought I better go have a look, dragged the step-sister Missfeez out and after a bit of a search we were rewarded with an FTF for our troubles Thanks for the cache and 16th FTF.
Arrived at GZ to find Rosmar searching. Had us going for a bit, until Rosmar made the find. Quick catch up then time to take my little cacher home to bed!
We were grabbing a few groceries and about to head home for a Sunday roast shortly after this publication came through. We thought this would be just a short detour on the way home. We had just started our search when Geomatt123 arrived to Give us a heand. Tricky little hide but was soon found. TFTC.
