If anyone can respond to this and help me with this cache that would be helpful 022-488-0346

I must have gone blind , the power of the sun was too much for me , sharkbait made the quick find tftc

Lovely views from up here just stunning Thanks for the hide, no problems here

I feel so unbelievably stupid, but it has been found.

Thanks

Still on my mission to help out some fellow aliens to fuel up their space ship. 29 more caches to go, 16 of which I did today. Again I had borrowed Greenkiwikid-the-youngest's scooter and went uphill and downhill and up again and down once more... I seldomly used the car (twice), had it parked close by and did most of today's caches with said scooter. The weather was perfect: nice and warm, sunny, a little breeze... Very pleasant. I can't believe this cache has been sitting there for 11 years and never gotten a FP. It's such a good one. And fits in and blends in so nicely. And though I had several of those caches before, it didn't click. I somehow had my mind on solar panels when I read the cache name... Thanks for hiding and maintaining. Tftc. FP given.

Nice cache. A little damp. Definitely great sunset from this Rd

**21,400**Whilst we were out and about enjoying the beautiful day whilst the rest of the country was still hard at work before the Stat Day tomorrow we just couldnt go passed attempting this one. After Mr Geckoh had finished checking how much solar our home panels were currently producing, he headed off to make short work of this find. TFTC

Found it!

Nope cant find it

first cachee:)

Log abit damp but still usable. Tftc

Nice little sneaky hide, log a bit damp but all good and signed here. TFTC.

Yay first timer love Lyndsay and yanya

We walk today here along and found this cache. Thanks and gretting from the knuffelbren .

:/

This is one of those caches that I've never been able to stop to find. Today I thought I'd try to clear up a few whilst Daddypig's Assistant was at Rangers.
After the previous DNFs I wondered what might be in store, but after navigating the smashed up car I spotted the likely hiding place. Almost ended up on the lower road getting it and replacing it, but otherwise a quick find. That was a powerful cache

Couldn't find. GPS spot took me to a pile of cut branches, perhaps in the way or originally were on them?

Couldn’t find. Was wondering if there had been recent road works there and trees had been trimmed? If not we’ll hidden. Nice one

I was thankful this wasn’t a bison hanging in a tree. They make me go cross eyed ! Luckily I was familiar with this kind of hide. Tftc

This was a good hiding spot but I had already found one similar to it so it was a pretty easy find

Clever camo.

Found it!

Had to wait for a builder muggle to access tools in his van, before making the quick retrieval. TFTC

Found a park near GZ, saw the likely spot, leaned in and grabbed it. Never would have found caches like this when I first started geocaching. Tftc

Clever camo. Finally found it!

Yeah we did not find this one so quick. Great camo attachment.. I believe this is a TWS style cache. That's cache number 2 for us. Groovejets / Hughes family

Quick and easy find.
TFTC

First stop after getting off the bus at Constellation nearby. All good here and an easy find since I've seen this style before, although this was one of the better ones because it blended in very well. Thanks for the cache!

Found with Mum (The_Foxes)

Nice quick find second time around. Managed to park close to GZ and spot cache straight away. TFTC

Once again, a very clever cache in very clever camo (Mr 11 dismissed it entirely). Gorgeous wee ginger and white pupper turned up to investigate along side us, hopefully it is from a house nearby (had no collar) but gave me heart palpitations seeing it so close to speeding traffic

Slowly getting towards home and caching as I go. Parked alongside with 5 metres on the GPS so that was good. Assumed wrongly what the cache may be so (unnecessarily) headed down low before heading back up. Soon had the TWS-style hide in hand and signed up and replaced. A nearby dog joined me for a curious moment and then I was off to the next option.

An early finish from work meant I could head home at a leisurely pace and no pressure which caches I selected to improve todays 8-day to something double figured. Problem was the weather was threatening a downpour and as I lined up the Tuff crater caches out Akorangi way the skies opened and the visibility disappeared, so I headed to the supermarket at Wairau Valley to mull my options. Decided on a couple of easy ones and head home, but slowly expanded the options until 7 finds were realized and a mini-goal achieved. The weather generally held off and I was home at a decent time. The good thing about working over at Devonport recently is the large choice of find options on my way home, whichever route I take!

Fun find. First geocache for 2021. I enjoyed it. Clever camo.

Clever hide, tftc!

Hood clues.

Couldn’t find it anywhere

Quick find as the title led me straight to the hide! Great camo on the cache! TFTC

I was out today in Wiarau Park to grab a little lunch and go for a walk to grab a cache. There was one in a reserve nearby, so I headed to that only to get a DNF, then to another one in a nearby reserve only to find too much going on around GZ do do a proper search. Next thing I know I have walked all the way to Sunset Road. Fortunately I had a good idea of what I was looking for and I quickly had my hands on the cache. I have never really paid attention to the views from this road, so it was nice to take a moment to stop and enjoy them. Thank you for the cache. #1077

Thank you from Howard and Kath

New log and back in action

Disabled as the cache is home for a holiday

Nice walk, dodged the showers. Shame about the whiney toddler!

TFTC

I found it I did yeah

You can tell your 8yo is into geocaching when he can spot the cache from his seat in the car. TFTC

Ran out of time but will be back for it.

Took us a while and got very dirty in the bushes! Lots of rubbish around sadly. Found it by poking with a stick!
Very busy road , careful when crossing!!!
Out geocaching for school holidays. Thanks for the cache!

A late afternoon to out with the girls; stopped on the way past four a quick find. Container was covered with ants! We knocked most of them off before returning. Thanks!

I had to dodge traffic as I crossed the road, but the find was much safer. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache.

The co-ords were a bit out here but Jades comment steered me straight to it. TFTC and for continuing my daily streak (Day #311)

Able to park right next to gz on this busy road and made a quick find as I have two similar caches, Thank you for another cache! was in good condition.

Passing by with Merlot58 and Jag50. Managed to get a carpark right beside GZ, so we leapt out of the car and found in the first place we looked.

Jag50, Aiden29 and I decided to collect some more of the Shore caches. I parked the car right next to GZ and before I was even out of the car, the cache was in hand

Out with Merlot58 and Aiden29 to collect some more of the Shore caches. Car was parked very close to Gz and found in the first place we looked. TFTC.

TFTC!

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

A quick park and grab before heading back to work. Map view and the name of the cache were almost all I really needed to find the cache. Have seen a couple of hides like this around Auckland, so it wasn't a surprise for me. Almost got my finger stuck retrieving the log. Thanks for the cache!

Very nice camo. Parked right beside for cover, TFTC

Quick find on the way between sites. Have seen a number with this form of camo. TFTC

Found after I'd checked/climbed almost every tree. Then had a DUH! moment when I found it as have found several like this before.

A nice little park n' grab, nothing wrong with that. These are the staple of caching!

Easy find today. Tftc

Seen this type of camo before, nice quick find in the evening when fewer muggles around.

Had some things to do "over the bridge" and stayed on afterwards to get some caches. This was #12. A quick find as I've come across these before. TFTC

Tftc quick easy find.

Awesome camo. And definitely some nice views either side of the road. TFTC!

Nice easy find

Quick find this evening with no one around, nice hide. Followed the recommendation and parked on the main road, TFTC

Decided to do some night caching after dropping MissNZT off on the north shore. We headed this way to clear out some of the abundant caches in this area, and made a quick turn into the side street to make the cheeky grab. We have a cache just like this one so MrNZT was on to it pretty quick! TFTC.

Nice camo quick find. Tftc

Yay.....these are cool !!@@
thanks kirstim

Missed this at first look, however, persistence paid off in the end. Tftc.

Heading out this way today to attend an event in Albany and with time to kill picked off a few caches along the way including this one.

Had a rough idea of what to look for from reading the logs, and once I was parked up the cache was in hand nice and quickly, though my fingers weren't dainty enough to get the log out without first retreating to the car to find something to help with the extraction.

Nice one - TFTC

Good spot thanks!

Last cache of the day while doing mapping updates for Open streetmap in the area. Was able to hide behind some parked cars. Love these disguises and great views too!!

Vistra and I decided to have a numbers day and look at finding what we could on the shore. Day filled with all sorts of weather from showers to high wind, still kept relatively dry and had a enjoyable day.

Drive by in a shower, quick find, TFTC

I joined forces with yorkshirekiwi83 and spent the day caching over on the North Shore - trying to make a small dent on the caches over there! Parked right by GZ and made a quick find in the rain. TFTC!

Mr P was parking the car so I hunted down the cache. I remember this area when I was a school girl, it certainly has changed. T4tc

Nice quick find. We have seen plenty of these types of camo jobs. One of the 1st places we now look.

Quick park n grab. Thanks.

Tricky little find! Found with wife and kids after a 5 minute search.

Nice easy find. I drive past this every day but have never known this to be here.

found the cache, found a work colleague as well.

Quick cache and dash. TFTC

3.40pm. Thought the title had a double meaning - or did we read too much into it. In any case we found the cache quickly. Out with The Pud and Oscatello.

Knew exactly where to look!! Imagine there'd be some lovely sunsets from up here. Tftc

Easy find straight to it

My third day in New Zealand. Hurry, hurry. I must haved some cache! Thank for this nice place!

Day 3 of a trip finding geocaches while heading north.

Another good find. SL TFTC

Nice quick find managed to park right next to GZ. Nice camo job. Tftc

Tricky to extract log, but got there in the end, tftc

Lucky my daughter has good eyes

14038... Managed to park next to the cache, choice views and nicely camo'ed, TFTC.

Quick and easy. Tftc

Park beside. Tftc

had originally though I'd find this cache during 31 days of August, but I ran out of days. So finding it on my 50 days in row for Geolicence.
5.10pm is not a good time to try and cross this road!!! TFTC

We3ll it was a nice sunny day this morning with few clouds in the sky. Also don't you love these challenges that get you out of the house every day for several days in a row. I'm enjoying it so far.

Cheers for the cache.
