FP3:Thirst Quencher (Taranaki) New Plymouth, North Island, New Zealand
By banjoboy2012 on 29-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4XQRN

Out and about performing maintenance and caching up with new geocaches in New Plymouth. The location for GC4XQRN FP3:Thirst Quencher has been appropriated by a new cache... GC6YKPB Big T-ank.
I wasn't aware the old cache had been archived in November 2016. Checked the location and sure enough it was still there, although very wet. As a sodden mess it is no longer possible to add further names to the log so I removed the whole cache.
***Thanks banjoboy2012 it was a great cache**, but sorry, I also removed the FP I'd previously given it.*

Sorry guys, cant maintain this one anymore

Found! Could not write in log as wet through! Needs replacing!

Found.. absolutely drenched! Could not log. Cool place though,Thanks

A fairly quick find. Log absolutely soaked though so unable to write on it. Took photo as proof of find.

GPS has taken me the long way home from the Mega. Finding some good caches along the way, TFTC

I am staying in New Plymouth with my sister on a trip from Australia for a week before heading up to the mega event, so taking the opportunity to grab some caches in the area. Today I was down here where after a dismal start to the day things just kept improving with the weather and by now the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day.

Found after a short search and spotting what was out of place. As previous logs mention no point in trying to get the log out to sign, I have a photo if required. Definitely needs some work though. Thanks banjoboy2012.

Found but cache was very wet and logbook unsignable. Tried to dry it a bit but was far too wet. TFTC

pretty straight forward, but the log was very wet so couldn't write in it

Found cache easily enough. However cache was full of water and the log book is saturated, rather apt given the name of this cache but a bit inconvenient for signing purposes. Signed as best I could and returned it to is rightful spot. TFTC

Coordinates were very on point which was great! Was actually a really easy find which we weren't expecting. Thanks!

Very quick find, needs some love though the cache itself is no longer attached not sure how long it's been like that but it's all good as it is as well tftc

Quick find

Great camo, could do with glue

Clever! Helped to read logs. Actually checked here early in search and discarded as a hiding spot

Second time coming back here. Found by JayDubENT. Thanks for the cache

Cool find. Cache needs a little more glue. Thanks

Found it
Great cache but glue has come loose.

TFTC done on a night mish went straight past it to start with but soon realized my mistake nice camo

A nicely placed cache but the traffic seems busy, or was it because it is school holidays? Found and signed. TFTC

WENT wrong way first then attacked again from other side, nice camo dry and safe, TFTC

Found it, put a new log paper in a coin bag, tftc

Log is very damp

Attempted to sign but log far to wet. Nice spot. Tftc

Log is quite damp but nice hide thank you!

Cleaver nice one

Nice

tftc took longer than should have

Found today with Gnome62. Nice hide, thanks

Very clever! Might need a bit of maintenance though! Thanks

This cache was one of the many caches we found on our 6 day campervan journey from Tauranga to Lower Hutt via Waihi, Cambridge, New Plymouth and along the west coast to Wanganui and back to the Hutt. A mighty and enjoyable journey which took us to many great and iconic parts of the north island and of course some great geocaches. Many thanks to the many CO's for the great cache placements and for bringing us to so many new places. Took a while to find this one, cunning....Sorry about the generic log but 200 plus to log. TFTC

Easy find... nice camo.

Our first find today after 3 dnf's
Quick find, thought it would be something like this as we own something similar. TFTC

Hehe good camo skills.

An interesting cache. It's hard hunting for the obvious. Good co-ordinates. Nice one

It was a pretty wet day today & GZ was very wet. Managed to spot the well hidden cache quite quickly though.
Thanks for the nicely camo'd cache banjoboy2012

Took a bit of hunting and the weather was trying its darndest to make things miserable but perseverance paid off in the end.

That was great! Cool find! TNLN!

Very sneaky. Someone has been having some fun In this spot.... number 3 today caching for my birthday

Part of my one a day mission, thought I would try for some outlying caches, this on has been on the radar for a while and with a bit of hunting, Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. TFTC quite a nice hide, log a bit damp, sorry no plastic bag with me as "I'm at work"! Blenheim Bear

Parking was slightly tricky but thankfully not too much traffic, great hide and container
