Mini forest (Waikato). Hamilton, North Island, New Zealand

Sorry guys, I haven't been on geocaching for a while, so I am taking down this cache Sorry

Did not find couldn't even find the tree Boo hopefully it's still there.ill be back

Looked high and low.. Couldn't find tree or cache.

Found the tree no canister though!

Still could not find

Had a good look, used the hint, think we found the right tree but dnf.

This cache is not a huge distance from home but is a bit out of the way. I've been past twice before but not stopped due to muggles; today I was more fortunate in this regard. I had what I consider to be a fairly thorough look in plenty of possible places, read the hint and all of the logs but was not successful in my search. Consequently this cache is going to sit on the list of little green boxes that haven't changed to smilies and frustrate me for a while. Thanks for showing me another of those places one wouldn't otherwise come across.

Thought this would be an easy find with the kids, unfortunately they were a hindrance not a help. Still good to get outside, will have to revisit alone

TFTC

Took a bit, but found in the end. TFTC

What a beautiful wee forest. Thanks for leading me here.

Well after 3 weeks of not caching I got this one as I was over in this part of town. It was good to get as I had posted a dnf on it

Ha cool was so close to home and didn't even know!! First cache we found

2.25pm - Quick as cache was out in open, recovered well. SLTFTC

Kids found it

Yep

The kids first geo cache they found it easy

We had most of the team looking for this for most of 15mins.... saw what we thought was the spoiler image, noticed a few plants recently planted around a tree.... if these weren't planted by the CO I believe the cache may have been compromised..... maybe...

Will be back to follow up on this one for sure...

Nice quick find after my rugby game @ Swarbrick.

Found it! Took us a while! Thanks

Nicely hidden, and a very good hint helped on a cold morning! Tftc

Brought Uncle Brian over to Hamilton to visit his cousin... and some cache hunting along the way.

Stopped for lunch at Dinsdale Shops and this was just around the corner... I had a few concerns when I parked up. There were a couple of kids playing nearby and right from the outset, the iPhone struggled under the tree cover. I ended up searching widely, but then the iPhone began to get a little more cooperative. I searched an area and failed. Finally, I had the sense to read a previous log and it all but narrowed the search area down to one tree in particular. TFTC.

Didn't find it?! Could I have some help?

Found it! Must have checked every tree lol TFTC

It was a pleasure to find this wee gem of a wooded area today. Cache easily reached without having to leave the path.

What a cool little spot, my two boys enjoyed playing in the area while my wife and I walked around in circles for a few minutes before our GPS devices started to agree with one another. Great clue and a good hide. Thanks for placing it.

Had to use the hint to locate the cache, enjoyed our quick visit to the Mini Forest, TFTC.

Wow, that was hard, I even found a tree that had a spray painted down arrow on it and thought it must be the one but it wasn't

Eventually found it, good hide added new piece of paper as last was almost full.

Walked over to look while my son was warming up for a soccer game nearby. Nice quick find, thanks to a great hint. Awesome 1st hide!

347 Lovely little park and bush. How many more in Hamilton??

Nicely hidden, coordinates spot on...TFTC

TFTC, hard find gps was telling us to go everywhere! Good clue!

Spent about 20mins searching - the spoiler pic would have come in handy but the ol' GPS doesn't download photos. Tried again with the iPhone and voila, suddenly everything made sense! TFTC!

Nice hide in the mini forest TFTC.

Hint helped a lot to narrow down number of trees cheers

After finishing some work out beyond Morrinsville I had some time to go and find a few caches before I had to head to the airport and home. A secret mini forest or a maxi grove of trees! And a cache too. Nice one! TFTC, Biggles.

A nice find on my way through the area

Tftc

Considering this is your first placement its a very good hide. I like that you choose a location that I imagine not many people know about and took the time to give a bit of detail on the cache page.

Arrived at GZ and was so confident in the cache description and hint that I decided to leave the GPS in the car and enjoy the thrill of the search. Was fooled by a brown plastic bag filled with stone but kept searching and eventually found the cache just lying out in the open next to a tree. Using the description on the cache page I returned it next to the tree and recovered with a small about of leaf litter.

Great work on your first hide.

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

All the time I've lived around here and I never even knew about this little park. It's a nice spot. Thanks a lot for this one.

Greetings fellow cachers! Anyone reading this log should know that the hint item is NOT the letter "A", that was caused by a slight slip while I was making the hint item, but no, the hint item is an etching of a flag, which will make more sense if you read the hint. Thank you!

Took a while to locate this one. Wandered about and checked most of the trees with no luck, re-read the description and a couple of the logs and then carried out a more methodical search. Located the hint item and then found the cache. Nice hide, TFTC.

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

Nice cache! Good hide! Thanks for the cache

Woop woop. Good hide. Hint: letter A on trww, under the wood

Nice quick one for the kids whilst I did the shopping down the rd tftc

Cute little park. Cache was little exposed so tried to hide better. Thanks very much NerdAlert1101

Was going shopping then saw that a Geocache was close
TFTC

GPS pretty jumpy here but once we spotted something mentioned in the clue we were onto it pretty fast. TFTC

Nice day for a walk and this one was nice and close, so I thought I may as well nab it. TFTC

A nice little cache, the kiddos did this one solo and I got to sit in the car and wait for the, a win win. Tftc

Nice easy find today while out walking the dog. Thanks for the cache

Found with Skweak while walking the dog. Nice grove of trees. Cache was very exposed when we got there. Hid it a bit better. TFTC

Haven't been here since I was a kid, thanks for bringing me back.

We guessed which side it was on by the obvious activity around each tree. We tried to replace it as we searched...and searched...and searched. We would have given up earlier, but with so many finds and a recent visit by Nerdalert, we knew it had to be there. Finally stepped back, changed our search a little, and there it was, in the last place we looked! A great little container.

This is a peaceful, suburban oasis we had our eye on. We delayed as we were sure it must be occupied, home to a puzzle cache, but we were wrong. No, that's wrong- really we just procrastinated. This year will be different.

A quick notice to ALL geocachers. If you find this cache, please put it back EXACTLY the way it was or better. I have come back to this cache and found it incorrectly placed, in plain site, and may be collected as rubbish, which is something I don't want happening. So, please make sure that if you find this cache, please hide it either better or at the same level please, thanks!

Quick park n grab. Thanks.

Took a bit of searching as so many of the hint item around so it was a process of elimination.
Great to see new caches over this way, may there be many more to come, well done on your first

TFTC

Got a bit sidetracked with the hint so just resorted to old fashion looking and soon found the cache tucked away at the base of a tree. Thanks for the cache and keep placing them for us to find.

a nice mini forest in the heart of suburbia. found the cache and signed the log. wondered if the white car that came by was a fellow cacher, when they left only to turn back into the same place as we drove away? Maybe maybe not.

Final Christmas Day cache! Didn't know this was here - quick find as it was lying in the open. There is a nail but not the other clue item. Covered with some camo. TFTC!

yay

Found it after a bit of looking around, the clue helped, nice wee forest. TFTC

Walked in circles for a while
Loved the forest
Thanks

Arrived at GZ and say another car parked there, sure enough there was a group looking for the cache as well 'Good to meet you Arthurites', I stood by and let them all the hard work

T4TC

Met a fellow cacher, easy find.
Heaps of fun

Found with Poupe_. TFTC

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

#1338 - Found with Frazar - TFTC

Great cache. Was nice meeting you yesterday. This took me longer to find than it should have. I was standing near GZ a while! TFTC! I can't wait for more.

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

Drove up and saw a car parked and not sure about stopping. Was another two caches with out GPS.

Too many tages on trees but soon got the right one. Good to meet other caches when out caching.

about to give up when another geocacher come with gps TFTC

Quick find using the clue. Watch out for the mosquitos. Very cool house with christmas lights on the street.

Took a lot of looking as I found what I thought was a hint item on a different tree. Finally got there though. Tftc and the new Park

Interesting little forest. Located the cache container open with log lying on the ground beside it. Also noticed that the item referred to in the hint item was not present. muggles must be playing around here. Thanks for an interesting site for a cache.

Quick easy find. Shot over to Hamilton a bit early for a meeting so took the opportunity to grab a couple of caches. No idea what the hint refers to, but also did not need it. TFTC.

Haven't come across this little forest before.
It was fairly obvious where the cache would be but which one? Tried quite a few before finally getting there.
Many thanks

Hi fellow cachers! Just here to let you know that I have changed the hint, which should make it a bit easier to understand. Hope it helps, bye!

Nice wee hide thanks did with Eyespyben

Thanks Did it on the way home from seeing my brother

Tftc.

Even though this would be one of my new closest caches i was still beaten for the ftf by a name i havnt heard off in a while. 6 mins after publishing. I was 2nd after 36 or so mins. Welcome to geocaching btw hope hide some more.

FTF at 0910
Was planning on getting a cache today as it was a dot day for me so this was very handy.
Not sure what the hint meant but didn't need it anyway, nice quick find.
