By UncleSamNZ on 05-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4FMHX

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Cache there. But hiding spot damaged

Seems to be unreachable due to construction work in progress

This was one I tried finding when I first started geocaching but had no luck. Came back today with a bit more GC knowledge and bingo

Choice spot. Forgot pen...

Today was another day combined with work and caching. Stayed in Rotorua for night and picked up the Squirrel on the way.
First to Putaruru then out to south of Pirongia. Bit of good planning with 2 caches a bit further up the road.
Also needed to go to Karaka on our way to Auckland for a couple of events, but with traffic issues we dodged Karaka we went to our first event on the list and arrived about 30 minutes after it started......
Rest of the day was a bit here and there collecting caches.
Had parked very near to this one to attend event. As name says ....Quick and easy. SLTFTC

Tftc for the nice day come to clean out some more caches in Auckland as well caches with HRP

Nice wee hide very easy find
Pick this one up after the Event
Sign HRP team

Still new to geocaching, had to read some of these comments to find the spot but got there in the end. Really neat location and container!

Loved the retro container

A nice day of Easter weekend caching in the area which wasn't as busy as it would normally would be which in turn made finding the caches much easier.
Thanks for placing this cache and bringing us here to find it

Out to grab a few finds on my way to Bucklands Beach today. Also, to add a few points for the Planetary Pursuit. Good Friday is a good time to attempt this Everything is closed. Not a muggle in sight TFTC

After being abused, honked and having rude gestures made towards me from a rather impatient vehicle at nearby traffic lights for choosing not to run over a muggle with right of way on a pedestrian crossing... This was a nice quick easy find that boosted my mood back up. Left an ifone cos I could

Visiting from Dunedin for a few nights. Trying to squeeze a couple of finds in while on the road between business appointments and catch ups with friends. Hopefully this is the first of a few before heading home in s couple of days. Tftc

Awesome hiding space

It’s falling apart we had do lift some things to find it

Found it, great hiding

Yus!! Finally got the time to park up and grab this guy. Was a great find with such a cute container! I love old school tins so TFTC !!!

Fun find, TFTC

Tftc coolest hide so far

Chilling like a tiny little bug out of daylight

Found with the help of TwigNZ. TFTC

Schnell gefunden.

This was worth the visit, just to find something different. I was expecting another fresh breath container, but not this time. Nicely tucked away, found after a brief hunt in a few places. Container even has official writing, and doesn’t have the word ‘mint’ for a change. Plenty of dry log paper, so all in good order. TFTC

Found at the third attempt. Glad to get a smiley face on this one at last.

Found on the way to the grandparent

New log sheet in place

Nice, straightforward LPC. Signed the log on the very last available space. Sorry, but didn't have a spare log sheet on me so definitely a new log needed before the next finder. TFTC

My first ever geocache find. Took a while and looked suss in the car park but got there in the end!!!

That's an awesome hide. Found it quick but not really a place someone might look. Having two people was helpful.

Quick and easy was the first thing I went for. The log has only one line left and it's falling apart a little. might need to replace. Tftc!

Out in the Eastern Suburbs again this weekend with Merlot58 and Aiden29. Wow. Three in a row where MrJag50 was able to park almost right on the cache.

Returned out this way with Jag50 and Merlot58 today. Mr Jag50 was able to park right beside and merlot leapt out of the car to make a nice quick find.

The car park was empty so a nice quick park and grab before we headed further East.

Nice easy find.

Tricky find

Good hiding place!!

Log sheet nearly full needs replacing

Liki it says Quick and easy. First encoutered one of these in Oakville, Toronto TFTC

Found it - antznz

We have a lot of these I n USA. THANKS from Richland WA.

Yes this was a quick and easy find and we're not complaining since a couple of other caches today were a bit trickier. Took the opportunity to head inside for the air conditioning and a walk around. Thanks for the cache, all good here.

Did not find this one any hints or ideas on where it could be would be amazing!! Thanks!

Tftc. Yes quick and easy is right. Just have to be patient with muggles.

TFTC This really was a quick and easy

Over from Melbourne (although I am a Kiwi but haven't lived here for 23 years....and I'm not THAT old) and this was my first cache for this trip. We were off to Pakuranga Plaza....at least, thats what it was called when I was a kid.....to sort out my dodgy SIM. Or not sort it out, as it happened. I asked Mum to pull in here and she watched my search. She was in disbelief when I revealed the cache. She said she would never have found it. But, having seen this hiding method once before in Melbourne, I was onto it immediately. Still, what a cool spot. Cannot imagine it getting muggled from here. Thanks for a fun hide.

Thanks - was a great little challenge =@]

Great little find. Took a couple of minutes to ensure we were in the right place. Thanks

Quick and easy by name and quick and easy to find too. TFTC

As I had an early morning meeting in the area that I was way ahead of schedule in getting to, I decided to try and see if there were any quick grabs around. And so after locating this one, I pulled out of the horrendous traffic, and was able to basically drive right up to where the cache was located. After a couple of muggles had walked past with their dog, and after a couple of cars had driven through, I was able to make my move for the cache. I grabbed it, jumped back in the car to sign and then put it back. No problem at all. Thank you for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate it! Awesome! Now I'd better get to this meeting... (snore)...

Looking for a quick n easy no frills cache close to work to keep our daily streak running and this one looks like it will fit the bill nicely. Have encountered several of these types of hides now so the only issue was not being able to find a park close by. Needed to get out of the car and go for a walk. According to the nearby sign we are under surveillance. Hopefully security was to busy watching Rio 2016 replay's to notice what I was up to. TFTC

Easy to find. Thank you

There's still a thrill when your searching fingers brush across a cache - especially when you'd groped around the other 3 sides of its hidey-hole first...

Very sneaky hide. We actually parked right next to it with out knowing. After a hunt and a eye to detail we found it.

Quick and easy?
Sneaky sneaky sneaky

Miss 10 found this one whilst out caching with her grandparents. TFTC.

Clever hide, very limited places it could be but took me a little while before my geosenses were tingling

Another tricky hide. Found after several visits. TFTC

Oops, really need to don the camo (hi vis) when doing caches like this during the middle of a weekday. Had a quick look but the gps was off and there was nothing obvious and didn't want to appear to be being sneaky around parked cars. We'll be back!

Aha! Found it. It was where I thought it was last time I looked for this on a busy week day but wasn't ballsy enough to locate with so many bods around. We were in the area, and thought we'd take advantage of today being Easter Sunday and the shops being shut. No one around and we were able to quickly grab the cache, sign the log and rehide without being spotted. Tftc.

We are here for about an our, start raining and everything it had to be easier than the other ones but we couldn't find it. The hint doesn't say anything to me neither. can someone give me another hint? Thanks

Thanks!!! As soon as he replay he give me a hint!!! I looked there my first time but not properly! Thank you, we were feeling a little bit frustrated. Now we are ready for the next one.

Quick easy find. Knew where to look and no muggles in the area.

Excellent early morning find

Had a quick look but felt a bit exposed in broad daylight. Think I know where it is. May have to come back under cover of darkness!

Had to go there three times Good hiding spot. TFTC

On this hot and sunny Saturday, yorkshirekiwi83 and I headed out to East Auckland to target some of the caches out there. A nice quick park and grab here, while all was quiet in the early hours. TFTC!

Thanks. Quite easy.

I had to dash out on Christmas Eve for some last minute shopping as I'd forgotten to buy batteries for presents... eeek, that would've been a major fail on Christmas day! So seeing as I was at the mall a quick cache grab seemed sensible although the car park was packed so probably not the best day to do it so I used the 'using my handbag as disguise' trick . TFTC!

2nd find ever was a bit stumped but finally got it! Sneaky sneaky! TFTC

Sneaky, sneaky!

A quick find - only because I've just discovered this type of cache!! TFTF

On my way over the bridge and thought I would make a detour! love the container, sadly the log was damp, but that did not stop me from signing. A quick grab in between the muggles, then a bit of exploring in the nearby shops.

Thanks for the hide and bringing me here

Great spot! The hint + having gotten a similar cache meant only about 30 secs to find! The rain meant few cars and most muggles hurrying on their way. Had to open the cache by the nearby farmers entrance. TFTC

Found it nice this time, nice & quiet here tonight we tried a week or so ago but too many cars & muggles! Miss 5 found it, her second find for the day! TFTC!

Got a good park

In the area for a team lunch so obviously I scoped out the area beforehand. This looked like a nice quick one to do after with some of the fellow cachers in the work gang. Parked up where I assumed GZ was and got Mikesonthecache to reach out the window to grab it. Nothing going and Readyboys4 said we were still 20m away. Oh, THAT one. Conveniently there was the park right in front free and Mikesonthecache jumped into the rain to make the find, return to the car and after I had signed with our initials, he returned and we were off, quick and easy! Thanks for a bonus lunchtime smiley. If anyone's heading to Family Thai, ask them to do you a duck pad thai. So good!!!

The coordinates were very accurate.

All good once we worked out we were on the wrong side of the carpark.

Out and about with Miss Davieland. Great hiding spot. TFTC.

Certainly was a quick and easy one for us, nearing the end of a big day. Tftc.

Luckily for us we've seen heaps of these before...so it was fairly Quick and Easy...
I was keen to check out the shops in nearby mall as had never been to it before ! But Ric was not at all keen .....thanks UncleSamNZ ....nice to finally be in your area and get some of your caches .....hope to come to some to some of your events out here soon ....

Could not find

Out caching after Geocachers Anonymous Meeting

On the way home & called in for the second time to find this. Not sure how I missed it the first time as was looking in the right place (was a Saturday night and did get to enjoy dinner from the market!) but very pleased to now have a smiley. TFTC

No luck

Nice quick find on my way to work this morning. TFTC

Not found

As the title says it was quick and easy. The hardest part of this one was agreeing where to park!

Nice quick park & grab thanks. I was lucky enough to get a car park right next to GZ.

Another great find while in the area.

Thanks for setting up this cache.
SL TFTC

Getting used to seeing these. They make for quick finds but really must return to birthday present shopping for one of the junior cachers - the real reason I am here.

Had been out to dinner with some caching friends and this cache was nearby, plus the CO was with us for dinner and it would have been rude not to find this one.

Thanks for thee cache UncleSamNZ.
