My wife had some business in Hamilton .... now so do I 
Cache found as per hint - unfortunately it was unsealed and several creepy crawlies were alive and well living inside. Gross Cheers steedandpeel, TFTC.
Cache found as per hint - unfortunately it was unsealed and several creepy crawlies were alive and well living inside. Gross Cheers steedandpeel, TFTC.Found it. A bit wet from the rain this morning but super cool paper. Thanks! We love the Alphabet Soup series
No longer hanging. Unfortunately I didnt have any string to tie it back up however placed it back in the same place I found it 
Out geocaching in the rain as usual. Camellia was drenched and I was too once I had started hunting in it. Needed sharp eyes for this one. Tftc
We've dried it out and rehung it, so all ready to be found. We thought its hiding place had been removed, but it is still there, so it is still in the original position.
We collected this one when we heard how wet it was. We were ready to put it back, but the shrub where it was hidden has been removed, so we will relocate it before enabling it again.
Collecting a totally random set of caches today on our way towards find 1000 while in Hamilton for a few hours. Couldn't find this initially and went to ask my daughter to come and have a look as well (she was really tired after a real early start ()another story) and resting in the car while I cached). We both had trouble looking for something that matched the hint until I saw something on the ground amongst a few rubbish items that might just be....yep, the cache. Not sure how it was supposed to hang but as it was quite wet inside I replaced it off the ground but not hanging.
Took a little to find. Thought the wind may have disrupted it but after a good look we found it. Tftc
It had indeed gone, just a sad ripped bag left, so we've replaced it. Same coords, but a different hide, so hint has changed.
Found what could have been the container but empty. Though about placing temporary log but decided to leave for CO.
Been muggled I suspect, there was a package that looked suspiciously like one that would have held a cache in it at some stage at GZ
Out and about in the Tron trying to sign off on some solved puzzle caches that have sat in my solved pile for far too long. While this isn't a puzzle I did need to pull over somewhere quite and process my notes. While here I did collect this find as well, it'd be rude not to! Found the camo bag on the first look and was relieved to spot the cache it's self on the second. Put it all back together before replacement. Cheers for the hide!
What a way to bring up my 400th. A soggy quagmire that took a few drive bys before realising that wasn't someone's property. Found the cache pretty quickly but had to sweep off a lot of nasties and reach into a soggy black mess to retrieve container.
Once the container was out it was all good though and signed the log.
TFTC and another smiley.

Quick find, luckily not many niggles around. Found with All About That cache. Tftc
Off for a swim at the local. Saw are caches. Noted nufrat was the last to find and happy I scored a bead! with Gonna Cache Em All and my son.

a quick, quality find just before dark, didn't like the qweepy quawlies that were living on the cache, tftc
706 Drive by last evening to locate and back tonight to pick up. I must be quackers.
Was unsure about where this was hidden but duly found. Thanks very much steedandpeel
Out and about for a days caching in Hamilton with Trout-fly enabled us to find 50+ finds. TFTC
Spent the day with Team Welsh and cruised around looking for caches to find. We didnt have a plan, and we were trying to avoid u-turns, but we still found a heap of caches. Thanks.
Found caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.
Another quick grab in the suburbs here.
Thanks!

My second day on a cache run to Taranaki together with Slieschke. Today the goal was to explore the Forgotten World Highway and to make our way back to Auckland. We decided to take a longer break in Hamilton to help celebrating its 150th birthday with fireworks and a Time Warp. Still no real Soap... TFTC
found it easily, nice cache 3rd for the day, just started the hunt today and now the family are getting involved. AWESOME times, tftc.
In Hamilton for a work meeting today with a bit of time before and after to find a few caches. Last cache for me in this area today. A quick find and then it was time for me to head back to where I'd left my car and drive back to Auckland. TFTC, Biggles.
This is just down the road from family so was a bonus to a not so great day. TFTC you never know how a cache can make a day better.TFTC

Came up to find some of your caches along with Parenthrops. First one for the day. TFTC
A beautiful morning for a brisk walk & a few caches before sorting out an ever growing list of chores. No muggles meant it was quiet & a nice quick find here. Thanks for all the effort that's gone into this great alphabet series, TFTC
Found it - Just around the corner from home - Our very first cache find!!! Ably helped by Sammie (5 years old).
Quack, Queen, quake, quickly and quietly were some of the words we thought of and 2 of them used with a 2 year old in tow. Cache was a quick find early in the morning before our junior activities commenced for the day. Thanks for another alphabet cache.
I think fap and gap needs to go home for some cooking lessons instead of so much caching!!! Nice quick find for this one and I got the two 'Q' words TFTC
Nice quick find for this one and I got the two 'Q' words TFTCDo I feel like caching today??? After yesterday's expedition in the rain... Heck yes!!! Gap (of Fap and Gap) was keen, and we hit the trail...
Queued quite quickly and quietly... qualified... Quest quelled and quashed. Enough said. TFTC.

Found with Swagdad, I'm amazed at how many hidden green spaces there are in Hamilton, TFTC
Quick find but had to avoid some road workers who stopped nearby as the cache was being replaced TFTC
I have always wondered about this strip of land. Padlock on chain did not deter us today, though.
A local dog seemed upset, but not sure it was us that did that.

Needing to improve my quotient of quality caches the quest was on to qualify and eliminate the missing ______ in my caching calendar and as have to collect others early this was the quintessential choice for the day.
Thanks for the placement
