couldnt find it

Well this fly has flown for me today.A good few palings missing now and despite there being a couple of suspect items which *might* have been the container, I yielded nothing.

Tftc

Nice one. Thanks!

Quick little find. TFTC!

Thanks for the cache! Found with impressedcitrua

Easy find second time around once the CO had replaced it

Replacement cache and new easier hint.
Cache has been muggled several times I suspect by local kids so stealth is required.

Managed to locate this one quickly and stealthily and then we were off on our way to the next one. TFTC

Hard

Found what we thought was the hide location but nothing was there

Cute little walkway nice camo hide tftc

Could not find it

Après avoir bien cherché nous ne l’avons pas trouvée
Beaucoup de plantes au sol ce qui n a pas rendu la recherche facile
Peut être n avons nous pas bien cherchée

Pardon le log précédent ne concernait pas cette cache excusez moi

Out this late afternoon for a quick cache hunt on our way to buy a few things from Bunnings for jobs around the house. This cache has been on our To do list for awhile so we thought today would be time to mark it off the list.

Last time we attempted this cache the local kids were playing on their tree swing so we thought it best to leave the cache for another day. This afternoon there was no locals to be seen, although someone close by was mowing their lawn, so the hunt was on. After a quick short walk up the steps we reached GZ and using the great hint the cache container was soon in our possession. With the log signed we tucked the cache back in its hiding place and headed on our way. TFTC

This was a easy but interesting hide once you got on the right level. FP for the container that was used tftc

Der Cache war gut zu finden.

Fortunately not attacked by insects when finding the cache.

Tftc! Good hide

Easy find but a very noisy fantail followed us while searching tftc

Very cool camo, FP added, cheers

Well a wet boxing days morning calls for a quick cache to keep up my streak. Being in town I wanted to do this one. Once guessing where the right location was I soon spotted a suspicious object and sure enough the great cache container. Really great idea I had thought of something similar but you won the race by a few years[:p]. Giving an fp for great container and making me laugh. TFTC.

New waterproof log paper .

Nice easy find abit wet Log1 more for our challenge

Yeah got it very different

Found it

This has been on my list for so long ..it was great to find while out for a walk with my tikitour sister today. Cache all good and nicely tucked away in its hiding spot. It was interesting reading about the fruit fly.....Thanks for the cache

I have been up and down this path a lot lately as we are staying nearby, but never stopped for the search until I was with tikitour. Caching is always more fun with friends!
Thanks for the interesting cache.

Mozzies absolutely everywhere! First ones I have come across in NZ. TFTC

Pity container not full as plenty of mossies here. Thanks for the placement the observer*

Another impeccably placed cache by the Observer ....every one else must have used the contents to get the mossies haha ha or where they fruit flies ...can you please refill thanks for agreat hide and all round good cache

Finished work for the year and decided to try for a few caches on way home. This one was relatively close and with the good clues, was a quick find, even without a GPS.

Certainly an interesting cache container.. TFTC

sorry for the late log- no more logging from my phone. it does not like me Thanks for the cache. Got a streak going so ones not far out of my way are always welcome TFTC

431 Memories of the Queensland fly scare

I approached this one from above after being pleased to spot the staircase. I ran down and started the search. Fortunately spotted the drain and then the well themed cache. Cheers for the lesson about the flies and for the cache!

Our 80th cache TFTC

I headed up North for the long weekend and after a day out on the harbour, I then drove around Onerahi/Riverside finding a few caches that I hadn't previously done, in between passing showers. After wandering up the path I soon spotted something of interest and had the cache in hand. Hard case hide - favourite point added! TFTC!

Cleaver use of recycling lots of mozzies though

Great camo! Soon in hand.

Bloody cool find. Getting nice and creative

We came here earlier in the day. Parked at the top and walked down. GPS was a bit patchy and we just couldn't spot it. Got a hint from Riser5 at the event later in the day and were back to grab it. Parked at the bottom this time and made a quick grab. The log was mush so I put a fresh piece of paper in another bag as the log. A very creative and apt cache, thanks

This one took a couple of attempts. Loved the camo. TFTC

Day 2 of our Waitangi weekend road trip to collect a few puzzle series of caches that we have solved over the last month or so - plus any other caches that we can find on the way!

A quick find after a short stroll. An interesting container!

Log soaked. Needs replacing.

Found it. Love the clever container. Unfortunately log is soaked and unable to write on it.

A quick find once I read the description properly. Unfortunatley log is soaked and outer lid is cracked. TFTC

Cool hide!!
Log is soaked tho.

GPS had us looking too far up but Miss R went farther afield and found the cache. First cache for our Christmas 14 caching trip. Log is soaked and will need replacing.

#333 Brillant idea for camo. TFT(pesky)C.

Great hide. I would have missed it, but luckily I had sharp-eyed Panda-bert with me. A clever cache.

cool cache!!! found it with my mum kar3nlj. thanks

It's been buggin me knowing I had not searched for another undoubtedly cool cache by Butters*, so finally got the all clear, made the find and can now look at the nice swath of quarantine yellow smiley flags on my map of that neighbourhood. And of course, I was not dissapointed by another creative & clever hide. TFTC!
Hopefully the uninvited l'il suckers from o'seas have all been detained/ remain contained!

Heading up to Paihia for the night with Mrs TWS, picking up a few on the way

Tftc

A cool cache found with Yeetrees, the discovery of the Q’fly is not so cool, lets support our local growers and get rid of these pesty imports! TFTC.

Quickly located. TFTC.

Another nice area visited and good cache found.

Nicely themed container
SL TFTC

Flew in today as had a wee mission in town. Loved the camo and do hope it catches the little buggers. Tftc

9.20am. Soon had this one in hand. A favourite point for an out of the way and off the shelf cache.
Thank you. David.
