Samantha's Cache - Auckland Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By 10centnz on 16-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5D458

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

After a year away from caching I am making a comeback and will check this when I can. Disabled for now

Did not find

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

It's been nearly 2 years since a find so perhaps the CO needs to check this as it looks like it was noted as gone a year ago.

Only Found bucket and pen that could have been it.

The Cache may have been destroyed

Venturing further afield for the daily cache. Lovely sunny day but very windy to have a look around this bay. Made our way along the slippery path and with the aid of the hint cache revealed itself. All in good order.TFTC

My second stop after work before the long weekend. I enjoyed this one because it wasn't just a garden-variety cache hunt, and with the recent rain the climb put my new track runners to the test. I was quite happy to discover that they worked really well and I didn't do much slipping and sliding even with the rain yesterday. Apparently I had eagle eyes and ended up spotting the tiny cache from about 3 meters away. Glad to have found it quickly I made my way back downhill without any slipping and sliding. A very enjoyable bush bash up the hill...TFTC!

Went out again today with Yorkshirekiwi83 to find a few more caches between Titirangi and Huia. Went up the bank a bit early, so came back down and went along to another spot and quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC!

Vistra and I were in the area so wandered along the beach and found a couple of possible entries, one more likely than the other, quick scramble up the bank and soon spotted it TFTC

Nice easy find, nice little beach and not too busy

What a great beach-arrived here about lunchtime so made the most of it then scrambled to cache-thanks for bringing us here

Lost count of all the slides that I did, anyone visiting will see my signature slide. Thankfully managed to stay upright just. A few hint items had me searching in a few other places, when I probably should have focused on the GPS.

Tide out, beautiful sunny day, although blustery winds quickly wake you up. I went to the wrong track initially, turned around quickly as it looked more like someones private path, once on the right track it was the wet slippery track that gave me the most fun. Thanks for the hide

Found with bradgoldy .... Track not to slippery considering it's the middle of winter. On our way to find another. TFTC

Tftc first went up the hard way then went back and found the track, nice spot for morning walk.

Another bloody hot day! Glad to get into this little patch of bush to find the cache. Soon found with hint. Thanks 10centnz for the cache.

I found the cache after a short search. Back at the beach, I ran into a couple who asked if I was Geocaching. I told them all about it and a few of my best stories. I think they may give it a go someday. TFTC.

#319. Another nice little Manukau Harbour beach though more publically accessible than the last one I did today The informal trail was quickly found as was the hint object and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC Samantha.

Great view of the Manukau harbour today - and a low tide! A favorite part of Auckland. Had my old running shoes on so was careful on the steeper area near gz! Found after few mins - thanks for the cache and good hint!

A nice quick find after tea. Route up was dry so no slipping here.

A nice quick find and grab by master 13 as we were still slipping uphill! Nice hide

It was a case of slip sliding away today. Actually not too bad. A small hunt was successful. TFTC.

Found with Ric while out on a sunny Sunday afternoon !!!
Sure was slippery when we got close !!!
Cheers for Samantha ....hope she is a junior cached !!

Had to take the long way in to get to this cache. Nearby neighbours out side on their deck having their morning cuppa meant we had to be very quiet as we were extremely close. Startled a very large skink as I located the cache.

Quite a challenge for a beginner!

Had a few problems with the uphill traction, but no problem finding the cache or getting back down again.

TFTC

Slippery slope but nice little container soon found.

Nice and slippery kids loved the scramble

Not too wet here tonight, quick grab at dusk.

Wow very slippery up there thanks to the first two usual suspects for leaving a slipping trail for me to slip on too. Once at Gz cache was easily spotted tftc Lokky 1 20 September 2014 11:48

Published

Just thinking about having something to eat before heading off for an evening of taking apart a gearbox when this cache was published. Ummed and arred until slieschke said he was on his way to pick me up - ok then... Off to GZ and greeted by a blank logbook for a joint FTF. {FTF} #1647 TFTC!!!

Ack, western motorway rush hour traffic. Nonetheless beared it, picked up FMZ and we made our way to GZ. After a bit of climbing about the cache was soon spotted. Left a pretty good geotrail for the next finders!

Joint (FTF) with funkymunkyzone!

Thanks!
