No Free Parking! (Taranaki) New Plymouth, North Island, New Zealand
By knees'n'things on 26-Apr-14. Waypoint GC53H0Q

We are moving house and taking this with us to Stratford, where it will be resurrected (we hope.)
Thanks to all those geocachers that visited.

Out of the Archives - Hint:

Awesome! Thank you!

As LGLNZ mentioned, it felt a little weird going onto private property for this cache, but a great cache anyway! We spent quite a bit of time trying to get it out and then back in - not sure that we put it back in properly so I apologize if it's placement is not quite correct TFTC

Awesome cache. Painter turned up, thought we were fixing it then wanting to buy it. Had to give a quick explanation as to what we were doing. Great idea. Thanks

Awesome cache, got a little awkward when the painter arrived to do some work. Thanks!

solved the in field puzzle but had a little fun getting the cache out, FP from us TFTC we love caches like this

Found it

Hard to be stealth but v cool

Great fun find! My son loved the mechanics and features near the catch TFTC

In the Naki for WOMAD and found some time for geocaching of course. I saw the geocache from the road and took a tool with me which as it turned out I did not need as there was a rusty nail there on the ground so used that to make entry. Cache was then quickly retrieved - TNLNSL.

A great idea for a cache but I cannot get used to going onto private property for a cache, just does not feel right. Thanks for the placement knees'n'things.

Thank you for this neat cache, got it ok, but putting it back together was a struggle but I got there, was very windy this morning

Very clever! And you have a fair few snoopy muggles around you, but at least you know if you got robbed they'd know! Tftc, gets a favourite point from me

Toby was hur

Oh so cute

Very good had touble seeing ir at first

Outstanding Geocache.
Get a favorite from me.

lady e and me tftc nice to meet nice people

Very nice hide. Met the owners. I had been before but was a little worried about the location. Gnome62 had no problems. Thanks loved it.

Woop

Yay we found this, really cool idea of hiding it

One of the coolest cached to date!

Loved this one thank you

My muggle sister was worried about this one being on private property and stayed in the car, but we had read the notes and knew that we were welcome.
Finally extracted and signed, but do you think we could get the darned thing parked securely and closed again! Fiddled around for ages and finally I admitted defeat and went back to the car to write you an apologetic note, but steed persisted and it finally slipped snugly into place and he could close it. Oh, the relief!
Thanks for the unique cache, a fav from us.

great cache

2nd attempt. Last time container was wedged. This time easy as. Awesome cache. Probably my favourite.

What a neat cache ... tftc

Best cache ever I was pretty confused

Took longer than expected but finally got the log out. Thank you

Thanks found it☺

This one is very clever (:

Log container extracted with the aid of polygrip pliers and screwdriver. I'm going to make a better label, as it is getting difficult to read the "this way up" instruction.

Got it open but couldn't get to the log.

Yeah! Finally got here! Love this cache! Tftc found taking a newbie round np caching

It's really awesome great idea TFTC

Number 99. Last find before 100.

I was very pleased to be able to log this as a find. I visited this site a few months ago and I sort of wrecked it I am sorry to say and I did own up to the owner. So I felt couldn't try this again Unless the CO was about to guide me and luckily the CO was at home after his morning out at 9.26am.

This is a very cleverly put together cache. Well done and a favourite point from me. Thank you for the cache.

Got to GZ and followed hint instructions. Had a pleasant chat with CO. tFTC

My 84th cache!

Coolest cache ever. A Fav point for this one, how fun this was! Luckily we had a helpful tool with us. Wonder how many neighbours were watching as we did this in the dark with a mobile phone torch haha!! Thanks heaps for a fun last cache of the day.

Found with Lunarq. TFTC

So cool and such an fun clue!

Tftc will be back to sign log with Chanellewaru waru8 nakiwaru tiakiwaru

Will be back to sign the log tftc

Found this one, I have to return with my Aunty with the right tool to sign the log. This was a cool cache.

On a caching/shopping trip in NP today.
I did wonder how many neighbours were watching us. Do they have any idea what's happening, & why this place gets so many suspicious visitors?
Took us quiet a while to accomplish the job, despite having a fair idea how to get it. It took numerous trips backwards & forwards to the car, trying to find the right tool. But at least we had plenty of time to admire the view out the back of your house (from GZ .
Left a pet rock - a crab. Also left a little something for you, on the hand at GZ.
Thanks for the novel cache. Lots of fun.

One of a few found on our last full day's holiday in New Plymouth. Acting suspiciously in the private driveway when the householder (female half) arrived home. "Caught you in the act", she exclaimed. We agreed she had!
Somewhat different dealing with a cache on private property! A little tricky extracting container. Definitely need a narrow tool like tweezers. #723. TFTC.

TFTC tried to be discreet, no neighbours seemed to be looking. Had some trouble extracting it but got there.

Very good worth a FP many thanks

TFTC I'm sure the neighbours were suspicious of us.

Found lmao

Easy one

Awesome cache, but couldn't find the log

Found with KJTCS.. returning for log book

Happy to find a another cache on our trip to NZ tftc

Great cache. Very original. We got excited to see it so clearly we forgot to apply 'stealth'. Another fun find with our Aussy mates. Tftc.

Finally took the time to take a look at this one... Very cool cache... Albeit felt a little nervy with a few muggles across the road...
Quickly extracted the log... Signed it and returned it without any problems... TFTC

1/1?! It was found easily enough, if a little exposed, but extracting 'stage 2' was almost impossible - I suspect it had been reinserted wrong or had worked itself into a stage of jamness. Anyway it took us way more effort than I think it should've seeing as when I refitted it it was pretty keen it sit loose and almost re-extract itself.
Very well done hide though and quite an interesting ornament!
Big thanks for the pathtag! I'd seen one of these before and think it's very clever. I'm only 303 away from my own pathtags now (I plan to lanch them at 1000 finds).

Found with tommygun9 . It took us a really long time and a lot of jiggling to retrieve the cache

I have replaced the sharp screw with a less sharp rivet, and marked an arrow on the cache container for correct orientation when re-installing. All good to go.

Felt a bit strange walking onto private property...I had to go back to the car for an implement, but with this in hand and the clue I accessed the cache and signed it. Nice hide. TFTC

An early set off this morning from home as have to set up for an industry conference in New Plymouth which would allow me to see a few customers, set up the stand and collect a few caches.
Am always a little unsure about these placements; but managed to locate, retrieve and return without any obvious muggle activity

Thanks for the placement

Prefer this type to the ones the Council use now. Must be showing our age!! Sorry about the stuff up putting it back. Thanks. Love the view along the coast.

great hide.Just as well I had necessary tool at hand although I made harder work of stage two than it needed SL TFTC

It is handy going just after sunset as one can see who's spying on ya, by the house interior lights on. Thought I'd brought the wrong size tool initially, but fortunately it proved adequate. TFTCC [Clever Cache]

Found it after trying one tool then using mums kiwi ingenuity used her pocket knife and got in and my sister found 10 cents!! :O and drove with a honk and a tonk tftc Knees 'n' things well done.

Well we spent to much time talking before we went out for this one so missed by minutes the FTF Bb had beaten us. Not to worry had fun getting in. Thanks for the cache and not charging us

came and had a look but my tool was too big.
During the process you became 20cents richer

Had worked out before arrival what this might be. BB beat us by 27 minutes - congratulations. Heads you won - tails we lost. We had an assortment of breaking and entering tools in case. tftc

Yay FTF not too hard just be prepared, needs a caching bag of bits in the car... tftc Blenheim Bear
