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. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Nope, didnt have much hope really.

Too long?

The clues all made sense but we couldn't find it. Perhaps it has gone?

Aaahhh note to self read logs, before heading to cache on yuk night trying to make the daily find.

It looks like its in the nabbers property

Needs attention. Wasn't in place, squished on side of road, nothing in container.

Fun find

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

Easy one. Log full. Please replace container and log.

Easy find

Wanted to fill another day on my calendar so stopped for this one at around 11.30pm. A quick easy find. Tried to straighten out the crushed container, it looks a little better now, it is a bit easier to get the log out of the contain, but it could do with being replaced, as the lid still can't close. TFTC.

Quick find... Container a bit squished though

Nice quick find but it started to pour so had to take shelter in the car streak continues though

14006... The cache container is looking a little worst for wear... needs some major panel beating or replacement, TFTC.

Yes, a bit squashed but nice to find one after two consecutive DNFs. Tftc.

Well after finding the nearby turtle and hunting a bison it was off to pick some fruit. Parked up nearby and made a super quick find. Cache was in place, but has clearly been compressed at some stage (maybe a muggle stood on it?). Anyway, cheers for the cache placement!

Enjoyed a walk around the area this afternoon. Thanks for the hide.

Easy

Last one for the evening, just as it got dark. TFTC

I wonder if I will be on someone's video tape as there is a camera on the pole in the middle of the uphill roundabout pointing back to the GZ.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice quick find. TFTC

Quick park n grab. Thanks.

Was up in Auckland for the mega and popped out to collect some caches in the area. This cache was easy to find because of the huge number of cachers in the area. Thanks for another cache and getting me out and about. I had a great time at the mega and these caches added to the experience.

Found as part of flippers NZ Mega conquest tour of 2013.

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 the event we headed out for more local caches, a few had high differences between the listed GZ and the actual location, but we managed to out think the errors and locate all of them. Thanks.

Found during the Mega weekend. The weather turned out to be much better than expected, and we enjoyed exploring all the walkways, nooks and crannies. Many thanks to all the owners of the great caches we found.

Day 3 of the Mega and the day was spent attending events and grabbing caches in between. A fun way to spend the day...and to finish up with the BBQ down at the beach was very nice.

Thanks for all the caches and sightseeing around Auckland.......

Day 4 of my trip to Auckland for the Mega event. Today was to be more about attending the Mega events and caching around Albany.

It was starting to get a bit late so it was time to start heading back. I got a park close by and had the cache in hand quiet quickly. All is good.

TFTC Fudge2000

Thought this was going to be in a different spot, but it turned out to be a bit of a sneaky. Thanks for the hide.

Found with moneydork and co. Tftc

Found after a short search. An interesting piece of recent history. TFTC

A sneaky lil hide - very cool. I was glad I was able to retrieve and place the cache back in between breaks in the traffic - I can do stealth me can .

TFTC

Fuuny to still see the orchard sign across the road. Not too many apple trees around here now.

Quick and easy find tftc.

Nice utilisation of what's there
Thanks, all good

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We were in Albany briefly this afternoon and had a little bit of time to kill, so we grabbed a few quick caches. Quickly spotted the cache and made a stealthy retrieval, then replaced it when there was a gap in the traffic. TFTC!

Made an easy find this evening - late enough to be little traffic around and nicely lit by the street lighting. Good spot for a cache, thanks.

Day 9 of International Caching Month, cheers

A busy spot, took a while to get the timing all right.

TFTC

Past this spot several times, never had the time to stop, but today was the day. A quick and easy find.

After a busy day at co key, we thought we had better dash out and grab this guy. TFTC.

After a busy day we thought we better go and grab a cache for the "Get Outdoors Day" souvenir, this one was nice and close for our late night mission. Thanks for the hide.

Nice quick find, guessed where this would be as we approached in the car lovely sunny day for a bit of caching, 4th find of the day. TFTC

Finally found the time for a slight diversion from Albany to find this one. Nicely placed cache that was quick and easy to find. TFTC

My last find of the day.

Nice and easy.

Needing a FFED this date, this cache filled the bill nicely !!! A quick and easily accessable cache. Have been through this roundabout many ,many times before but never knew what was to the south !!! TFTC

A nice location for a hide

Don't have much time on a Monday between jobs to get my daily caching fix, so thanks for putting this one in just up the road from work.
Mum used to work at Clemow's orchard, and I can remember being with her sometimes on days of school, helping with the sorting and bagging of apples. Also had several Girl guide campfire sing-alongs at Christmas at the back of the orchard down by the river.
When I parked there was a chap in a truck, parked just a bit further up the road. I had seen where the cache was and had waited for there to be no traffic along Rosedale, was just about to grad the cache when I realised that the truck was no leaving the street and the chap was looking straight at me. He watched me as her went around the round a bout, and when he was opposite called something out to me. With the traffic noise I had no chance of hearing what he said.
Anyway in the next gap in traffic I managed to retrieve that cache, signing the log I saw the TeamH&G had also been here today - wondered if that was who it was who had called out to me? TFTC

Nicely hidden. I had to wait for passing muggles to clear the footpath to be able to put it back safely. Luckily I didn't have to wait long, and it was quickly returned.

12.50pm. Just time for a quick grab and sign before meeting Noeline at the food court at 1.00pm. (Was a moment or two late!)
Thank you. David.

Nice easy find in the darkness, our cache of the day, tftc

Was heading back down from Whangarei so thought it right to stop here, must have got here just before Rosmar as there were no kids about to get in the way of the activities of a cacher.
Nice to meet you GP5
Quick little find and another one signed off

TFTC

Swung by & picked this up as we headed to the park for a walk-tftc

Arrived in the wee small hours of the morning but beaten to it by well over an hour. A somewhat bold and out in open hide! Thanks!

A quick easy drive-by while in the area. Met up with Cats&Dragons at GZ and took time out for a quick chat. It was nice meeting you. TFTC.

We were out and about in Albany this afternoon so headed to this cache for our find for the day. (Note to self...avoid searching for caches when schools get out!!) Managed to locate the cache quickly using the hint but putting it back took a little longer due to the amount of passing muggle traffic. Finally the lights must have been in our favour as there was a momentary break to enable us to put the cache back without being observed. TFTC.

I was just heading to bed for the night when the email popped up in the inbox, less than 1.5km from home i was at GZ before I know it! After a quick search turned up nothing decided to read the description and had the prize soon after greeted with a blank log book FTF! TFTC.
