As this cache has been out of action for too long and the non-active cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

Cache site damaged by the storm - working on replacement hide.

I didn't find this one due to the cache has been removed by muggles.

The owner needs to either archive or replace it.

This one sure was different. No problem parking on a Sunday morning. TFTC.

Nice and quiet on a Sunday afternoon. First sweep around the area didn't reveal anything. On next look from a different angle, cache was spotted. Not guitar players, but bought one to attempt teaching ourselves. TFTC

Thought I'd collect some the new caches on my way from work to the event this evening. GZ was nice and obvious and after a bit of manoeuvring about a bit I finally found a car park. Super quick find of the cache. Interesting hide. Cheers for the cache placement!

After work today I needed a cache for my dot days, this was on the way home (kinda) and with traffic being an absolute nightmare this evening this cache took my eye as the best bet for a find. Failing light and no torch could have made this tricky but workers having left for the day made looking for the cache easy so it ended up being a much needed quick find.

Thanks for the cache

Walking around the wonderful leafy 'burbs of Kingsland today so decided to grab this cache. Nice quick find though a few eyes were watching in the high rise across the road so had to wait a bit to put the cache back. TFTC.

Cool idea with the picks, too bad I didn't have any on me... Easy with the clue. Interesting placement. TFTC

Was up in Auckland over the weekend collecting caches. Took a bit of time to find some and others were just DNFs. Luckily this was able to be found and we were able to add our names to the log book.

Plenty of parking late in the afternoon. TFTC

Found and signed... after we picked the right one, TFTC.

Out early in the morning with a few caches on the list accompanied by Nova Lightning.
Am glad that we collected this nice and early as parking and muggles were no issue at all.
Today with the coast clear it was an easy retrieval

A good spot for a cache

Didn't realaise it was such a musical area, but did spot a few places. As usual parking was a nightmare but got one not too far away and soon had the cache in hand between waves of asian shoppers.

easy find. Tyftc

Seeing all those picks makes me wish I had some musical talent. Alas, no. Super quick find - in fact I could see the cache clearly from across the road and initially dismissed it as being 'too easy'. As a result I'm sure this will be muggled regularly unless some way is found to tighten it up a bit or maybe put some sides on the item supposedly hiding it? TFTC. Always nice to have an excuse to come to this area!

Found after the first day back at work after two weeks overseas for my find for the day. I didn't spot it initially but once I read previous finder logs I knew exactly where to look. An interesting hide. Thanks!

Nice one this morning early before work...simple but inventive cache location...cheers V.

I was overseas when this cache was placed. Wanting to keep smileys in my hood, I decided to go for a walk this morning to collect this one. Although I only had my smartphone, this still turned out to be nice and easy find. Liked the creative location of the cache . TFTC!

GPS would not load description, GZ seemed to be the middle of the road, so only with previous logs and hint i still failed . reading description now, i have a good idea.

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

This was such a cool hide, hope you are able to replace soon. It was so unlike anything I had found before. Thanks again for the cache.

Nice quick driveby tftc

Clever! hope it last awhile, have not seen this set up before, so thanks for the creativity! Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Wow ...a very different sort of setting for a cache ! Hope it remains there ok...

Busy area at the time but managed to do the job undetected. TFTC.

Found together with kiwicouple. Another find on a clear night. Joint 2tf

FTF #3. Yaaah. This cache came in at 9am today, I was out all day caching on the 101 dalmations but got home, saw this cache, didn't think I would get it after so much time elapsed but I did! I like the way you suspended the cache.

Found a pick at GZ... nice placement. t4tc

We got the alert for this cache when we were night-cachng in the Waikato. We had been intending to find another new cache near Dominion Rd on our way home, so resolved to get this one too.
After meeting Rudy355 at 11pm at The Snake's Home we told him about this new cache and gave him the coords. At GZ we quickly spied the likely hiding spot and found the container. Novel hide! TFTC.
