Great Find
 
10-Jul-16
After having already dnfed 2 out of 3 caches so far, I was getting annoyed that this was about to become number 3. About to give up then tried one more pass and this time got it! Yes!!! Cool hide, I love the hint too. Even though I was in the right spot it still took me quite a few minutes to find it. TFTC
 
11-Jun-16
Nice hiding spot
 
06-Jun-16
The only glue we got was finding a name on the ground , it took us quite a while . But it was a great experience
 
06-Jun-16
Well hidden but creative
 
06-Jun-16
Well hidden the compass told us wrong creative thinking
 
04-Jun-16
Took a while to realise what the hint meant, but found it in the end.
 
02-Jun-16
Took a while had to look at the comments and piece together some clues
 
02-Jun-16
Haha this was pretty amusing once cache was opened.
 
29-May-16
Real creative hiding spot I like it

28-Apr-16
Nice & easy find
 
28-Apr-16
Could see from across the drive. Very easy. Great idea with the bark. Covered it up so not so obvious to muggles as lots around.
 
07-Apr-16
Thought we knew what we were looking for from the clue, but put too much trust in my inaccurate phone GPS. Stepped back and immediately saw what we had been expecting to find. TFTC
 
07-Apr-16
Found it with Moose, I blame his directions for why it took so long. I love the concept of the cache and I covered it a little more than it was to hopefully save it from being muggled.
 
03-Apr-16
Found it! Nothing in there but "paper"...a book or something might be good - time for a check? But nice first find for my 6 year old nephew. Thanks for the cache Smile
 
29-Mar-16
This was a great one as it's close to home
 
25-Mar-16

Master Seth and I went on an expotition this weekend to Hamilton . . . . . I wanted to cache this weekend and collect a few smilies for some solved puzzles Smile so we stayed overnight and went to the Hot Air Balloon night glow (however it rained and they deflated the balloons as quick as they inflated Sad ) we got to see the fireworks though. A quick find by us today as we grabbed a few as we headed home to Auckland . . . TFTC Big Grin

Had the morning off work to attend an event nearby, but didn't need to be there until almost 10am, so I did what any normal person would do - I set about locating as many nearby caches as I could without being late to the event!
With still quite a bit of time up my sleeve, I thought I'd hit up the caches in this park and see if I could get all 3. This was possibly the easiest find I have ever had, due to the fact that it was not hidden in anyway, just sitting out in the open. SL. TNLN. Replaced cache and covered slightly to prevent it being muggled. TFTC!
 
12-Mar-16
Nice easy find, love the hint haha. TFTC Smile

Lots of muggles around today, playing cricket, so had to be very sneaky.
The clue meant we knew exactly where to look, so was in & out very quickly.
We squeezed our name in but it may need a bit more paper soon.
Thanks for setting this up hill149c

no problems with this dot day find, once the couple walking their dog had passed. Someones taking note of your suggestion and have used some bark for the notepad haha. TFTC.

On a side note, my torch was flat and I used the nearby streetlight, and think I overwrote someones date of their log, sorry!

23-Sep-15
We were over at this park in the weekend playing in the 5-a-side soccer tournament but didn't think to take the GPS with us. We wend back today as my son was home sick with a cold but did not stop him from caching. Found this quite easily. TFTC.
 
13-Sep-15
Time for another trip over the hill from Tauranga




This cache was found quickly and in good condition at the obvious spot. I've even brought some of this camo home for my own caching project Smile
