Dave's Place, Season 2 (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By funkymunkyzone on 02-Aug-14. Waypoint GC5A4BT

Adding my DNF

I think Dave is done.

Had a good search around but nothing to be found. Think it may be missing since pretty hard to miss something of that size with only low difficulty.

Couldn't find. Obvious place for such a size. But nothing to be seen.

Quick find while walking into town... took a photo log as I didn't pack a pen..

Out with Okayness and we called by and said,"Hi" to Dave. TFTC

Quick find with kakesnz.

Thanks for the cache.

Easy found

TFTC

Another dot day, another cache on the way home from work, parked pretty closeby and wandered to GZ, must have timed it just right as it seems most of traffic leaving town has already left as it was a muggle free zone. TFTC

Our last day in NZ. So we walk through the city and bye some gifts ... and found some caches.
Thanks for showing this place and hidding the box.
Greetings from Germany!!!

On a rather long route to catch the airport bus from Ponsonby. First cache on this trip to NZ. TFTC.

Nice little house must be worth a bomb lol. Quick find of cache by mr b. Log signed b&p. Find number 4130.
Thanks for the cache funkymunkyzone.

Don't run too far it's there

I found it while i was drunk

At first i made an unsuccessful search here. Then the second thought brought the success and i was able to find this cache on my first holiday in Auckland too. The caches log was in my hands and got signed.
My gratitude for showing and for hiding and maintaining this cache

***No muggles were harmed while searching, finding and logging this cache...***

My first find in New Zealand from Canada. Tftc

I was parked down the road, but decided to try to get closer to GZ. Once I found a "better" spot, I was just as far away as before. Such is parking in this area.
I was very pleased that I didn't have to walk down to the house to make the find, but then I looked at the picture and saw the arrow, so never mind. TFTC.

Quick stop on the way home after netball and a nice quick find in the likely spot. Good time to do it with the road about as quiet as it's likely to get around here. TFTC

Found today walking the dog. Wonder how long this house will survive in this commercial area. Tftc.

Was waiting for a lull in the traffic and muggles before attempting a retrieval of this cache - which was spotted quickly due to its positioning. As the loitering continued, got tooted at - perhaps a passing GCer in the know ? Log signed and returned without further acknowledgement ! Wandered down to takke a closer look at the art work and Dave's Place. TFTC

Made this needlessly difficult for myself by taking an overly circuitous route but got there in the end. Hard to see how this could ever be muggle free even on the Saturday evening I looked but patience being a virtue here eventually it got quiet and I could snaffle the cache and log my visit. My work colleague lives in that house and was surprised to hear it is "world famous in New Zealand" geocache styles.

Quick find with my little geocacher Filipe! Really close to home
Tftc

Had queued for free Ben & Jerry's and then grabbed a nearby FTF so picked up another couple of caches in the area. Never watched the show but appreciated the cache as it was a quick find, allowing me to head back to Ponsonby quickly to grab another free scoop! Thanks for the As Seen On Tv cache!

Never watched that program but looking at that cool old place and to para-phrase Cheech & Chong "Dave's not there, man!" But the cache was. TFTC

I was walking around Auckland and hunting some caches also...of course
I found this from first place I chekc.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland

Lovely artwork by Dave's Neighbour! Didn't find the cache, despite big red arrow (both the one in the picture and the one placed near the location IRL) Perhaps it has been muggled?

Another one close to home.

What a climb to grab this one! We simply over complicated it.. TFTC

Greetings from Wellington. Found on a trip to see one of my favourite bands. Despite being in Auckland for less than 24 hours, still managed to find time for a bit of geocaching.

Spotted this one straight away. TFTC.

On my way to this I did spot the house which didn't copy over to my Garmin. At the time I wondered if it had anything to do with the story. Plenty of muggles at GZ but they were whipping by too fast to notice what I was up to.

I had printed out a map of Auckland caches before I left home, and this one was just off it. But I could see it on my Garmin's map and it wasn't far to add to my walk, from the previous find, 'Thin Blue Line Between East And West', so umbrella hoisted I continued onto this one and made the quick find. TFTC funkymunkyzone.
PS. I did notice that old house, a survivor, among the modern constructions.

As I was in the area on a thin blue line, saw this was close enough to grab before heading back to work. Quick find, still have the random muggle to contend with. TFTC

On a trip visiting from France. Great to discover this house, MPLC as we say in French. Finally a cache with enough room for Mommas missing flip flop TB

We found this one looking at the text only on the phone. After making the find Mr beconaze pointed out Daves house saying "look at that place, looks like it should have been bulldozed 20 years ago" . Lol, now we get home to log it and see the pics. Oops sorry Dave!

The good photo spoiler definitely helped finding this one quickly even though I first searched down below TFTC

The co ords were a bit off but then i figured out the clue about dave and after a quick look under the green house i found the cache. Thanks dave.

Found the cache nearby, didnt see dave though

Also overthought This one .found with help of previous notes. TFTC

Yes.... looked at complicated option first. But it was eary at the wnd. TFTC FMZ

Managed to avoid the showers and grab this one on the way to the supermarket. TFTC

The gods of map-reading were having a laugh at my expense on this one! After driving in circles for a frustratingly long time I finally did what I should've done at the beginning, parked the car and hoofed it to GZ. Cool artwork on the under motorway tunnel entrance, and on the wall opposite. TFTC

Thought it was season three!

TFTC

Parked by the pedestrian underpass and strolled under the motorway to this cache. Remember coming to Dave's place once before and this one was much easier. Thanks

Mr P did the find as I was distracted by the old house and the muggles about. T4tc

For some reason I have it in my head that this is the "mark 2" version?

Was nearby so decided to find this cache before it ....well the second season may not happen?

Will he, will she, could they, seems all too hard! Not for this cache finder today, thanks for the hide.

Was on set discussing some vfx for StepDave season 2 so only seemed right that I grab this after the meeting got it easily but had to wait out some muggles before returning it. TFTC!

Looked where I thought it must be, then realised I was off on a tangent from the coordinates, then spent a while thinking I knew where it must be, getting thistles stuck all over my hands, then again looked at my coordinates, pulled out a thing that I thought, it's gotta be this - but no (would've been good to put a magnet on the end of this though) and then eventually found it in an easy spot. D'oh, went to too much trouble. Nevermind, as long as I found it in the end! tftc

Quickly sneaky find while out waiting for the truck to be fixed. TFTC

Many thanks Dave and funkymunkyzone for this cache. I am relieved to find a home exterior that is marginally in a worse state than my own.
A quick find after I had parked the bicycle over the cache and enjoyed the outlook.
Now, where is this new cycle path to Beach Road?

Looked for this one before with no luck, this time just walked right on to it. TFTC.

I think this is visit number four to this spot, but only find number two. My DNF logs are routinely met with an unceremonious archiving of that particular iteration. I think it is personal! Anyway, the cache was actually present on this occasion and was located in the obvious spot. Took the TB. Returned the cache a little more tucked in to keep it away from prying eyes. Cheers for the re;re;re cache placement!

Visit no. 2 for season no. 2 for me 2!
Easy walk as its just down from home. Thanks again FTC. Neat hide.

Déjà vu . Left TB. TTFTC

Found on way to work.....no problem .....

Getting good at coming here.
All in place. TFTC.

Nice quick one this morning on way to work. Managed to Stop/Find/Sign/Replace, and get back on the road before the rain caught up with me...cheers V.

Found on way hm from work....again...s2 tftc

Finally! I've had more than one attempt at the previous caches that have been located at here with no success. This time however it was great to finally find the cache where I always thought that it was but could never find. This made my Saturday morning walk all the so much better! . I was going to drop a geocoin that I collected while travelling overseas but decided (at the last minute) that it would be shame if this cache and hence geocoin was muggled. Anyway TFTC!

Figured I'd do a quick review of season 2 based on the brief spoiler made here. To be honest it's pretty much identical to season 1 plot wise etc. Not that it's a bad thing, it still got a smile for me!

Thanks!

I have been too busy to cache for quite a while, but this came through shortly before I left work so I figured why not? Quick and easy! TFTC.

Someone hasn't done their research... there is no season 2 yet ;P

Wishful thinking maybe!?

It's coming... http://www.throng.co.nz/2014/07/outrageous-fortune-prequel-step-dave-2-get-funding/

A sneak peek perhaps!

Well I hope I'm not disappointed by the cache then, I'll have high expectations!

Perfect timing. Im sitting looking out the window at GZ. I'll just wait for the shower to pass.... Thanks.
