By wasa & chec on 02-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4DFBH

Certainly couldn't feel or see anything here TFTC

It wasnt there when we looked

In the area getting the ad lab, so couldnt resist a small detour to grab a few extra caches. Tftc

A bit of a late log , so i hope i have not got the caches muddled, but we were on our way to the Totara Water gardens - ( lovely to visit but what a mis- nomer ) and we past along here so i persuaded my sister to stop while i dashed out and had quick search and located the treasure . it was quickly signed and replaced . I took nothing and left nothing . thank you for this cache and the maintenance of it .

Dnf

This one has gone I believe

Unfortunely the sign has been hit by a car and is dismantled but the cache is still there, but wet though

Easy find

Helpful hints. Good find.

Had a bad start casing but found one but this one needs better waterproofing, but very easy if you read the hint

Quick and easy find but log has water damage and paper now deteriorating
When replacing the log maybe look at a second layer to protect from future

Tftc, Drove by and decided to collect the caches on the way. Quick find and amazing hide G-2!!

Was a bit worried about the house over the road watching me but no issues. I could not read the sign from that close. Was the last today. Tftc

As others have said it is very tightly jammed. I have also added a new logsheet.

Log need needs maintenance. Hopefully CO is still around.

In Auckland on a work trip. As noted by others, the log needs maintenance - it was falling to pieces in my hands although I did manage to sign it

Thanks for the cache.

Easy find

A nice quick find. Thats better, after 2 dnfs, whew. Thanks for placing your cache.

I'm in Auckland and I am exploring the region while I am based here. Today was a dry day, overcast but dry. I borrowed by bro's bike and cruised around the place. I had a great time.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

A bit like a LPC but not, found fast

Quick park and find, tftc

Drive past this all the time, the alternate geocaching world is fascinating

**15,073**
Almost missed locating this one, as it was so tightly wedged under the structure that I thought it was part of it initially. Managed to separate it and complete the formalities. TFTC

Cache log rotten

Nice hard pulling out cache, when finding the cache i had trouble trying to get the cache but eventually with the pull i fell back and had the cache in hand.

Quick stop & find. Log book is destroyed so cant sign.

Checked both signs

Quick find. Log looking like it needs a spruce up. Other then that. Tftc!️

Found this one yesterday (06/01/21).

# 1873 Last cache before the lockdown. Guess caching isnt considered an essential activity. Parked pretty much in top of and was a quick easy find. Cheers wasa & chec for this one.

Walked up and down a few times to eventually find this. Too busy talking while walking.

Quick find. Unfortunately pen broke en-route so couldn't sign log but took photo. Tftc

Once we got the correct sign board, cache was quickly in hand and signed. Not many muggles passing by today.

Pretty good find. People looked at us like we were tampering with something xx

Log sheet wet. Visiting NZ from Australia to meet up with relations and do a bit of sight seeing and a few geocaches of course. Our base is in Hobsonville. Many thanks to the cache owners for placing and maintaining these geocaches for our and others enjoyment. Luckily, we had seen a similar deployment back in OZ. A Fav from us.

TFTC. signed as Rebecca (as new to this!)

Out to decompress from a course. Out caching with @Macsnackleback (signed as Rebecca M) as she relearned//

10 mins no traffic

A much busier road than when I lived here. Cache was found pretty quickly where expected. TFTC

Easy find added a gift

Up this way to go in the Sea Sprite. Tftc

After 2 dnf up the road it was a relief to get this one just as batteries died on GPS it was to be my last one for the day anyhow. Tftc

Handy park and grab on quite busy road today. TFTC

Had to dig a bit

Came back with a stick and nailed it! TFTC!

Visiting from Australia
Thanks for the cache

I have a memory of being here 1 year ago, but can not remember if I just forgot to log it? or did not do a DNF? does not really matter as today found it straight away, and the log was being signed.

Thanks wasa & chec for the hide, all good today

Very good camo

Quick find - as it says on the tin

Great find, thanks!

Logical enough with the hint

Nice cache name and great clue! a quiet caching outing for Keylev and I, had lots of fun catching up, caching and coffee-ing! TFTC!

sorry for taking so long to log. Found with Keylev TFTC

Hint made quick work of this which was good as not too many places to park here. In good condition. TFTC.

After a local Geocachers Anonymous breakfast out East, Mrs NZ Travellers and I decided to head over on a caching raid.

Parked a little further up the road and walked back to a very quick find in the obvious place.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick park and grab, a little wet under foot but all ok here

Found in first place we looked, easy find, thanks

Nice easy and quick find here, TFTC

A good spot for a cache and appears to be my 400th find

Maybe you could get them to add: "Time to find the Geocache -- 2 seconds". TFTC.

Geocache 2 on Operation M - quickly saw where we were supposed to go for this one, we weren't quite sure where would be a good place to park so did a bit of a turnaround so we could be nice and close, off the road. Looks like a short term earlier someone naughty had knocked over a nearby neighbours letterbox and they came out to have a look (it wasn't us). I'm guessing they were bemused why we were parked up but once they lost interest we could grab the cache. Thanks for placing here, all good and right where you would expect it to be.

Seems like a strange place for that sign until we came round d the corner. Thanks

#34 not long it seems! Quick grab whilst out for a run, was nice to sit down in the grass for a wee break. Cache and log in good condition, TFTC!

That was an easy find for me and Rumble 25

Greetings from Berlin

Quick easy find

Found with brandon

Clever hiding place, found with Rego91. Thanks!

How long will it take? Not long at all. A quick park and grab on the way back to the office. TFTC

Up in AK playing in a squash tournament this weekend... was hoping for good weather too so I could get out and about in between games but that was too much to ask this weekend.
So a quick early walk up trig road before the rain came was in order.
This was a quick find and my last for today - just a wee taste for me
TFTC wasa & chec

Nice and easy find on our trig road tour

This was a nice easy park and grab on our way home. TFTC

Quick find with this one. TFTC

Was going to watch some footy nearby and with some time to spare before the game went for a drive. A quick find in between passing cars. TFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... It was shaping up to be another weekend ruined by rain. We made some initial plans, but a mission emerged at the last minute... We decided on a ride along Muriwai Beach with the express purpose of scouting for future challenge missions, and to visit two caches we need for our D/T (Fizzy, 81) Grid... Then, we planned a drive back through West Auckland suburbs, gathering more data for another challenge...

Another quick find on a busy through road. TFTC

6,50pm - This was a real park and grab. The Squirrel had it before I was out of the vehicle. Just followed hint. SLTFTC

The original plan for today was visiting Piha and the Waiatarua mountains, but sadly the weather was quite bad and so I stopped here for some caches. Hopefully, that the rain might end and I could do some hiking today. But first I enjoyed the caches here along the road and I was able to found them all.

thanks a lot for the caches.

Nice quick find, not so magnetic anymore but still hidden well (: thanks

Not much time until work this afternoon so I picked a quick cache for today's cache.
I considered parking near GZ but instead went to where I knew there was parking and walked back. As I crossed the road I knew exactly where the cache would be so it was an easy find despite all the traffic.

#1937. Heading north on Leap Day and picking up caches between a few targeted cache stops. Hardest thing here was finding a good parking spot as the road had no verge and a ditch on each side. Parked up at a driveway and walked back down to the GZ. As I approached the GZ some weird guy in a car drove up on the grass directly at the pole and was looking at me. Too late to back out now. So with my hi-viz coat on I inspected the pole and various boxes. He watched me for a minute then drove up the road and parked. I grabbed the cache, signed the log and returned as found. He then drove off back past me. Who knows what he was thinking. Thanks for the cache.

Cool spot. Tyfc

#486 Found cache out in the open and damaged. Was unable to close. Lucky I had a spare cache container just like it. Replaced container, moved sticker to new cache container, signed log and put back where it supposed to be. Log in place, might need a baggie as I had run out of those.
TFTC

Out and about with urbangypsynz to pick up some of the caches in the area. Well it would have taken me a little longer as I didn't spot it first look, but thankfully ugnz checked too. Cache is no longer magnetic so that's my excuse for not finding it first look

Was where it was expected to be but passed the first sweep, but it did not escape the second look. Not long today as all was quiet.

Quick easy find with britt94 today.

Was on regular night hunt. Kwik find at GZ.. tftc

Parking wasn't good

In the are for work and had some time to kill before my next appointment. I put on my cloak of Invisibility (a.k.a. Hi Vis Jacket), it worked well. No one gave me a second look

just had to find a cache today to keep up my streak and this was it. A nice easy find in the dark.

Easy find

Quick find while seeing friends for the day.

We live in the area so thought we would head out for a walk and get a few caches on the way. Good incentive to help get us fit for the wedding. Nice quick stop. Had to act natural a few times when muggles drove past! TFTC

Nice quick find after the weather cleared enough to grab some caches

Out gathering a couple of solved puzzles in this area and since these caches suggested they would be quick we grabbed us some as well. Quick find. TFTC

Quick find, Glenn, Matthew, and Riley.

find a little bit of hunting around

Nice quick find TFTC

A quick find.

Tftc.

Tftc!

Out enjoying a bike ride on a nice quiet day. Not many muggles in sight on Christmas. Nice quick find.
