Happily found this Geocache, sad to see it required replacing. Just my second find
Went looking for this cache but fear it may have had been muggles .
Have replaced on behalf of Riser5. Cache placed back with new log book in same place.

Found easily though couldn't quite on log as if forgot my pen! Will come back with kiddos and a pen:)
Muggles appeared as I approached but they clearly were off on a different sort of mission. TFTC
4.05pm - DAY 3 of 3. Final day caching up North today and this was a massive driving day for me today. Kaitaia to Rotorua then home to Papamoa, along with a huge list of caches to collect.
We ended up wasting far too much time on a Wherigo in Whangarei which we had to DNF.
Thankfully mother finds came a lot quicker so made up up for a bit of lost time.
We will have to return one day to collect the ones we missed on this trip.
Enjoyed the weekend with a 100+ caches found. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap) and Mr Davidson (of Davidson clan). Signed most finds as BGH.
Visiting Northland for Easter... The plan for today was to cache our way back to Whangarei (and home), while picking up as many caches that fill spaces in challenges we are working on. We really hope to make a big dent into several challenges this weekend...
A quick find on a hide we need for the numbers... TFTC.

Feels like a long time since we have been home to enjoy exploring our own backyard, so off today to explore Kauri and around Lake Waro, but also a chance to collect some previous DNFs that have been updated. What an awesome afternoon of caching was had (although now to deal with the sunburn consequences). 22 caches in 3 hours of adventure, we even had to go for a swim to collect a cache, this was our 16th cache of the day. Yay finally collected this one
Doing a few drive by caches in the area..found this one quickly and good condition thanks minimaxi for the cache
Thanks Minimaxi for replacing just in time for our return to the north. Quick find. Thanks for the placement
When I got there I realised that I would have walked past this one twice every day to and from school back in 2014. TFTC
I'm back up in my home town of Whangarei, taking a break from the Auckland lifestyle. After an outing in Pukenui Forest, hotrodpete, 0B80B8 and I took the opportunity to find a few more caches around Kamo before returning to pick up one of our cars. A nice quick find here and a new log sheet to sign. TFTC!
I remember when MiniMaxy placed this cache to mark her and Riser5's wedding day but hadn't had a chance (a slack cache hunter) to search for the cache.
Today the Pukenui Cache Hunt team (Vistra, OB8OB8, HotRodPete) decided to try their luck at a few "street" caches after our major hike through the Pukenui Forest. As two of the team hadn't yet logged this cache we decided to include it in our search list.
Another quick and successful hunt so another "smiley" for the two of us who hadn't previously logged this cache.

Nice quick one. Decided to do this on the way home from the warehouse. Log was wet and unusable. Replaced log. Signed as AN.
Good first cache find close to home. Probably helped knowing the area. Unfortunately the log was a bit too soggy to write on with pencil. Just beware of the earwig plague..!!
Taking the opportunity to grab some caches during my week long visit up to gather some caches. We used to live on the other side of Kano road for a while and a friend lives on Fairway drive and this was the walking route to her house, however I never spotted this alley before. Quickly located the cache. Tftc
After grabbing a couple of caches around Kamo we decided to stop in and grab this one. After reading the story behind it I thought wow that's cool but it wasn't till I got home and seen that it is your guys 2 year anniversary I thought how cool it was to discover this cache today. Happy anniversary guys and lol what a typical Riser thing to do. Couldn't sign log as it was wet but that's fine
Quick find today after a small detour - to see what Pokemon lurked around Kamo. Pleased to now have a smiley face. TFTC
Riser5 Stopped by and replaced for me this morning.
New spot for those coming back.
Check updated hint.

Heading home (Auckland) after a couple of days surfing at Taupo Bay & Ahipara. After a DNF just around the corner we were hoping to get back on the right foot here. Had a good search but no cache. 2nd DNF in a row. No luck today caching in Kamo.
Second time visiting over the past two months but still no luck. Clue seems to lead to a very obvious place but hunt was unsuccessful.
I think it's gone reading the hint it's obvious to where it should be but nothing is there
It stunk of urine here so we weren't that keen on searching, but despite the specific hint we didn't locate the cache.
#542 A quick grab on my way through. Fitting that this cache is an urban micro. TFT(wedding)C.
Ha, very sneaky. I wondered how a cache that size could be hidden there without being super obvious but sure enough, hidden it was. Tftc and congratulations (albeit belatedly now) to you both. What an awesome way to mark your special day (and then be reminded of it with every find thereafter )
I did, I did, I did. I did find this cache cleverly stashed away. With very explicit hint. It was all dry. And in good condition. I came up to kamo to attempt the wherigo but this failed. Very sadly..thank you for the cache and another smiley face.
Wasted time looking at ground level. Eventually found it approximately 50cm above tftc
I'm sure I was at the right spot,no luck,smelt like someone took a leak at GZ also.
Nice history for you both !!!!!! Or herstory !!!!!!
Thanks for this ,,,,no trouble to get in dark ...

Need to replace this one, someone seems to have thrown the cache into the ground, as it was found smashed in pieces on the ground at GZ.
So many overgrown little plants.
Minimax + riser5 how 3months have flown by wow. Will have to try again in sunlight

I did,I did . Lovely quick find while close by. Congrats to you two lovely people .
Congratulations on your recent marriage! A lovely touch and a memorable wedding gift to celebrate a special day. Many thanks for the cache and our Best Wishes for your future happiness together, Cheers YuGeo4.
On my way through Whangarei from Auckland to Mimiwhangata for a weekend with Mrs & Mini McArgister and friends. No time for caching en route but just HAD to stop for this one. I've only met Riser5 in person twice and I'm yet to meet MiniMaxy, but through various methods of communication, I feel I know you both quite well and I'm so happy that you've tied the knot.
I found this behind a post, rather than a plant, which I was happy about because a dog has expressed his displeasure with your nuptials very close by, right on top of the plant I was heading for. Maybe he had wanted to be invited but hadn't made the list?!
I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and offer you this thought, which I heard at a friend's wedding (funnily enough the friends we're heading north to see!)
"May your love be modern enough to last in today's world, but old fashioned enough to last a lifetime"

Awww congratulations you guys what a nice idea!! Hope you didn't get your shoes/trousers too muddy/dirty on the way!!
Riser5 is one very lucky lad to have found such a special gal, MiniMaxy. Who else would not only put out a new cache, but also allow time out for a FTF on their wedding day ?!
Congratulations to both of you!
Couldn't resist grabbing this one on the way home after the festivities muggles weren't a problem at this time of night... TFTC
