Easy find, but maybe too easy and anyone could see it and muggle it.
Don’t follow gps just the hint

Great day out around Tauranga/The Mount, seeing where caching takes us. The weather was really changeable, so we equipped ourselves with suitable layers and a sense of humour, sufficient supplies of food and water, and geocaches loaded onto the GPS. We found some really cool caches between the patches of rain. TFTC!!
Cache is replaced after being lost for a while. Please replace carefully to keep it out of casual sight. Enjoy your Cacheing!
Found this one easily after I read the hint to my muggle hubbie! I was searching where my Garmin led me - around 15M away - but when I told him the hint he told me exactly where it would be and there it was! TFTC 
After contact with the CO, sadly we received confirmation we were in the right spot and the cache was AWOL. Logging a find with the CO's blessing, TFTC spot...very cool thought out and about with Viv_L for her first caching adventures!
it looks like it had been muggled because it was out in the open for everyone to see. spotted it as we were walking toward the entrance. thanks for the new log. my 7yo presumes she was the first to find so im just gonna it at that lol. lovely place, lovelg views tftc
Found it in a lovely spot.
The log is full. Found it difficult to find a space to sign.
Took a reindeer travel bug. Very seasonal.

Definitely follow the clue. I gave up and was walking back to the car.....found it
Searched for a while only to find we were looking in the wrong place the entire time! We were in the right area but second guessed our initial hunch and looked elsewhere which turned out to be the wrong move. We found it in the end though
Spent some time showing Kyb3r around my teenage stomping ground in between weekend family activities. It took a fair bit of convincing him that I knew where the cache would be after he told me the hint despite it not being at the listed co-ordinates. For the first of many times this trip, I was right :p
Out geocaching with Lucypear, found this one after she interpreted the hint correctly grumble grumble over complicating. Found cache with the lid off, was so obvious once we saw it, so hid this one a little better..
Was visiting a client in Omokora and as it was a beautiful day I decided to hunt round for a few caches in the area. This was the first one I looked for. I didn't read the logs so I was following the co ords... after being unsuccessful I read the logs and realised I needed to follow the hint. Quick find after that. Thanks for the cache!
3.30pm. The coords are a long way out but the hint makes it obvious so it was a quick find.
Thank you David.
Thank you David.
Sooooo fun for the first time was a blast definitely a must do for a boring day!!!
Found it after reading the logs and following the hint, not gps. Gps almost had us with spidey hands eww.
After reading the previous logs we quickly came across the cache. Started off looking in the wrong place and got mucky fingers
Had a good long explore in hole at gz .....
Proved very brown .. mucky and murky as full of earth and water !
Nothing else found sadly.....

On a one night stay with Hubby and #3 grandson. While they went fishing I decided to do some geocaching. I walked around walkway from geocache Captain Crapp. This one took a bit of head scratching. A previous log had commented about his gps being out. My was too but I took note of the hint and it wasn't long before I had the cache in my hand. I had to wait at one stage for a muggle and his dog to pass. SL. TFTC.
Auf unserer heutigen Fahrt nach Waihi haben wir in diesem schönen Örtchen Rast gemacht und haben nach all den Regentagen endlich mal die Sonne genossen.
Kurz vor der Abfahrt sind wir noch zu diesem Cache gelaufen und haben uns ins Logbuch eingetragen.
Greetings from two german Cacher !!

Decided to take the day off work and spend the day Geocaching. Had a plan of attack for the day which was a trip on the ferry to Matakana Island, a few caches around Omokoroa, a trip up to Sentinel Rock and couple of other caches which needed a little bit of time to get.
The GPS was pointing me elsewhere, however the great hint, meant there was no troubles finding the cache. A nice spot for a cache.

We are staying in the area for Christmas and it'll be rude not to grab any nearby caches. We chucked all the kids in the car and parked at the grove to go for a short walk to grab three caches. The wind was bitterly cold on the street but was better near the cliff edge.
This cache was a quick and easy find while the kids enjoyed the swing.
Thanks for the cache and the smiley.

A beautiful day at Omokoroa with my daughter and granddaughter. Finished the day off with a couple of geocaches. A quick find and the granddaughter enjoyed the rope swing nearby. TFTC
Dropped and smashed my phone. Don't normally do punctuation faces but i think this one is called for 
nice spot and geocache though.

Dodging the rain showers to pick this one up. Nice quick cache & dash.
Thanks for placing.

Attempted to follow the coast from 'bowled away' but quickly gave up on that idea and parked up at omokoroa domain instead and strolled over with geo-pup.
It was an easy find with the nice hint. Cache is in good nick. Enjoyed the walk. TFTC

Man I made this difficult on myself. Doh moment when found it. Lol. Cost me an umbrella LOL and I put my hand in dog poo!! tftc. Grab chair cause I have a plan for that and left a ball.
Out for the day visiting Old folks so Tiga and I took a slight deviation to find a couple of caches in the area. As with several predecessors we found the GPS a bit way out and more attention was paid to the clue.
Once focused, we headed to the real GZ where I sat looking at the cache until Tiga realised I was playing Pointer Dog. After signing with our joint moniker of TT2M.P cache was returned to its spot.

Out finding caches with My,Precious on our motorbikes after visiting a local rest home with the Tga Ulysses branch. While looking in the trees had to pretend that the nuts on the ground were our main interest as muggles walking their dogs strolled by. It didn't help when M.P read out the wrong hint for this cache. Once we got the correct hint thought it had something to do with what was hanging off one of the trees, it would cool your energy. Having another look around saw something else that fitted the clue. Very glad that it wasn't hidden under all those piles of leaves. Signed jointly as TT2M.P
Out and about with the family enjoying some caching. Nice spot. Quick find. SL. TFTC. 
A lovely spot. Thanks for leading us here. Cant believe how tropical it is. Nice hide.
A very quick find while on a lunch break working in the area. A few walnuts around the place at the moment. Tftc
Despite the weather forecast and the rain radar predicting rain, rain and more rain, we set off on a day trip to Katikati, with the occasional detour to find some caches, of course. It was dry when we left Tauranga, but we hadn't gone far before the drizzle started. That necessitated a slight change of plans (any walks of more than 5 minutes were now off the agenda) but we still managed to find 21 caches.
An impressive grove of walnuts, which look as though they are ripening up. We hunted where the GPSr was pointing without luck, so read the hint. Aah, we should be over there. Quick find once in the right spot (over 10m away from where my GPSr was pointing). TFTC.

#11876. There were lots of walnuts on the ground; maybe there are no local walnut enthusiasts. TFTC.
Had me going for a while. Why didn't I check the obvious first. Haha. Nice and cool here. TFTC
Just turned up while muggles were leaving good timing.with the hint made a quick find. Its nice here in the shade
