Wild River (East Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By Uncle Sam on 24-May-14. Waypoint GC550X5

Either not a park and grab or muggled, had a goof look but nothing doing.

No finds since July, co check pls

Time to put this one to rest.

Have found it before. It is no longer there.

Is it still there can't find it I was standing on it

Couldn't see anything, despite standing right on top of it! Is it still there?

Nice easy find TFTC.

Searched for this one at night. We were just about to leave when we spotted it. TFTC

Nice location and fortunately not a wild river today. Quickly found, signed and replaced. Thanks Uncle Sam

Was in area today , so thought I would check out this Wild River !
Couldn't see the raging torrent anywhere ! Only a trickle in a drain ! That massive bridge is a bit of an overkill ! Thanks for replacing cache !

New cache container in place

Container is missing. Will replace soonish.

Miss 10 found this one today with her grandparents, little hands were helpful. TFTC

Have to come back with grandson to sign log for obvious reasons

I grew up in Howick and I'm not often back in this part of town, but I was today so allowed a little time to get some caches. A nice quick find here and luckily I had a suitable tool to help me retrieve the cache just as quickly. TFTC

Nice hide

The river was definitely tame this morning. Previous cachers had said it was hard to extract and this proved true, it had to fall through before I got hold of it. TFTC

Finding the cache was easy. Extricating if from its hiding place was a bit more tricky!

Looked in the obvious places and soon found the cache. The fun part was getting it out!! Even Master 7 got his hand stuck. So we had to try something else. We really need to have clothes just for caching! Loads of muggles going for a walk today, including our old neighbours, so we had a catch up with them. Meanwhile Master 7 had a ball crawling under the bridge and sliding down the bank. Sigh, there goes that outfit! TFTC

On our little caching expedition this afternoon and this was the second cache on our list. We pulled up near GZ and immediately we say a most likely place where the cache would have been hidden.

Heading over we looked in the usual spots for such a cache but just couldn't see it. Hmmm, let's try another approach. There seemed to be some other likely places that a cache could be hiding, and sure enough, the second place we looked was the hiding place for the cache. We tried the most direct way to retrieve the cache, but that just made it fall down further out of reach. Even with the smaller hands of mast chrisandmum, we had to try and find another way to retrieve the cache. After a bit of contortion and direction by Mrs chrisandmum, I had the cache in hand.

Just then muggles appeared. We just acted nonchalantly getting master chrisandmum to hide the cache in his pocket as they passed. As I watched them walking away, I noticed that they were old neighbors of ours and they were looking at us, probably wondering why we ignored them, so I waved to them. So we got to talking and catching up a bit. As we were, master chrisandmum was rolling around in the dirt and on the grass out of sight of us and having a good time occupying himself. After the impromptu\ conversation, his clothes were covered in dirt and grass stains. Not happy. Dusted him off the best we could while signing the log and replacing the cache.

Well I think that was the quickest park and grab I've had so far as it was pretty much out in the open ripe for the picking for a muggle So I tucked it away a little bit more. I really should walk this entire walkway one day instead of just doing little bits to pick up caches, TFTC!

Tftc. Nicely hidden. Didn't take too long.

Ez

Quick and easy

Easy find thanks for the fun

Found this cache in a second very easy

This jumpy, crazy phone GPS will cause us some trouble some day for sure.. But here we worked with our geosenses and found it.. tftc.

Nice quick find. Thanks

Gotcha. Cheers Sam.

Packed my canoe ready for the Wild River. Found I had left my paddle at home Found the cache anyway. Thank you.

Out on a caching adventure, and decided a quick drive-by was just what this cacher needed. Went straight to the hide, was able to extract the cache, and surprisingly the lid was off, and possibly signed by muggles? Anyhow all is good, the CO has put in a new log, so I put it back in its hiding place, and I was on my way.

Thanks for the hide

Alive and well

Had a good look around for the cache. Finally found it after a couple days later.

Easy find and grab. Replaced the log as the cache was fill of water. TFTC

Out this way with MoveStar today and she found this one quickly as it was just a lyin on the ground in plain sight . . . . . and full of water. We replaced the piece of paper with a log book and gave it a new plastic baggie to . . . . . .TFTC

Easy find although the cache is a bit water logged

Nice and easy thank you

Nice find on the way home after school, first ever cache TFTC

Nice quick find in a part of town I didn't know existed TFTC

Nice quick drive by cache. TFTC.

It was a surprisingly Muggle free day in this lovely park. Thanks!

Was out this way today on a mission. So just nice to grab a wee cache and have a stroll for a few minutes before back to the rat race of traffic. Lovely bridge but no trolls.

Another great find on a geocaching holiday in the area.
Thanks for setting up this cache.

Nice to get this one found quickly today.

Out with HowickSteph doing a few of the local caches. Quick find.

Cute little bridge and scenic view of the willow in it's autumn colours. Thanks Sam!

A quick dot day find tonight after work and before a physio appointment to fill in a day on our calendar matrix. Waited for a few dog walking muggles to disappear before I grabbed the container. Thanks for the hide!

nice easy find yay.

TFTC nice and easy find

Cant see anything. Says im right on top of it but nada...... also our first time at this. .....

Cache container was muggled. Have put in a new one. Beroca tube

I made this more difficult since I was trying to stay clean. TFTC.

Thanks! Nice easyish geocache!

A quick find while in the area

TFTC

Great find nice and simple

You would have looked at it twice before you find it

Nice quick find.

Another quick find by Mrs ToT as we had a wee clean up around our area. TFTC!!!

Easy find

A very quick find as cache had fallen from its perch and was lying on the ground. Signed log and rehid back where it should have been, TFTC!

Yay, found it second time round, now I know what I'm doing lol. Looked in wrong place last time. Muggle sat down to relax on the grass as I was leaving, so had to wait for him to move on before quickly replacing! TFTC

We couldn't find it but we are new at this!!!

Easy find, thanks!!

Love the camo

Think like a troll to find this one. Nice camo-ed container.

Quick and easy.

GPS battery died just as we walked down the path, uh-oh. We had spare batteries in the car, but we used instinct instead and found it pretty quick, tftc

Nice easy find, once replaced

Nice easy find , good clue!

Have been searching for an hour but could not locate it, is it still here?

Went to check on the cache, and yeap, it had been muggled.

Replaced cache with a smaller container.

Been up early chasing ftfs (one of them by UncleSam coincidentally) and as such was up decided to knock off a few more before heading home for break it. TFTC

Nice cache, nice park.

Nice large cache, easy find. Thanks!

Thanks for this cache - a lovely little location for my 100th find. Contents were a bit wet, so I popped in a spare logbook in a separate ziplock bag.

Quick grab on a quiet Sunday morning. More cool places I didn't know existed! Tftc.

Gotcha!

Nice quick easy find on International Geocaching Day! TFTC.

Nice easy find while on way to finish the multi in meadowlands tftc

Quick find while out for a walk this morning. Thanks.

Yay found it

Out and about after work this afternoon collecting some finds. A super quick find here. This is a familiar container. Cache is in good condition. Cheers for the cache placement!

Tftc

Easy find as it was in plain view, once you were in the right position, didn't leave it that way though.

TFTC

This is our very FIRST cache and the kids loved it. We didn't take nor leave anything, we just signed the log Thanks, this is awesome

Nice quick find...TFTC

Yay found it!

Originally logged and found whilst out with mum (keylev) but now have own account so logging all finds I was present at and helped with.

Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.

The river was not wild today and the area was clear for a nice easy find. So nice to find such a large cache but it was empty so we put a few badges in it for the next finders.

Thanks for hiding this and showing us this neat little spot.

Quick find whilst on a dog walk. Nice and close to home. TFTC

All quiet today. I've seen this "river" quite wild after some heavy rain.
Easy find.
TFTC

ps: if the container get lost, please let me know I've got a few spares

Some nice park and grabs caches before I have to head home, a nice way to relax to relieve the stress of the day, Thanks for bringing us here.

Out walking early so incorporated this cache into our walk. Nice quick find. TFTC

Quick and easy. Very close parking. Tftc

Out this morning for a few new caches, and I had headed past the other UncleSam cache, but the area was too busy with church related happenings, so I continued on to this one. I think I only just missed the FTF here funnily enough, although I had not really intended to come over here for it! TFTC!!!

Not very wild this morning but you can see it has been running high over the last couple of days. Thanks Sam, for our first FTF
