As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Did not find, found the lizard but searched everywhere and no box to be seen

Found lizard but no container

?

Maybe someone took it???

Found the lizard, had a good look around - needs maintenance. T4tc

No luck today. Met the lizard but I’m picking muggles have visited and taken cache. Please check out.

Tricky with football games going on. TFTC

Only one place it can be really, and a quick find made after dark here. I didn't see the TB listed, but picked up the Teddy Baby #9 TB that was here, TFTC

Pretty easy

Easy find

Thanks!

Very nice. Clue makes good sense as soon as you see it... Great! Cache was exposed, so I tucked it back. TFTC

Cute TFTC

Out doing a couple of caches this afternoon, tftc. Easy find, clue made sense as we approached GZ

Nice and easy find... the hint was a bit obscure until you have the aha moment... tftc

Nice hide! TFTC!

First cache found, yay! Went for a short walk with my son and found it. Wasn't too difficult; the lizard was a huge help.

Met up with Aiden and Merlot to do a few city caches on a hot Auckland afternoon. Made the short walk and soon spotted the lizard. After a muggle had passed us we soon found the cache.

Out with Merlot58 and Jag50. A few muggles in the park, and we had to wait for one runner to pass by before we could meet the lizard and make the find.

Parked up nearby and after a short walk we met the lizard and waited for a muggle to pass before making the find

We almost had the entire area to ourselves and the two muggles who were nearby were too focused on their soccer practice to notice what we were up to.
A nice quick find. TFTC.

Found no pen byo

Met with the lizard.

Nice, easy find - and sunny Spring weather meant we didn't need to get our knees dirty.

I had been busy helping to run a conference today and the event went a number of hours over time. In the back of my mind I knew that regardless of what was going on with the conference I still had a cache to find in order to keep my daily caching streak alive. And so when we had finally finished packing down, I made my way here to find this particular one. After parking at the nearest point possible, and after making my way down the alley, I was really surprised as to how busy the park was. In fact there was a boy's soccer team practising under the watchful eye of their coach very close to GZ. Because of this I thought that I might need to go and find another cache. However, as I observed them I realised that they were all so absorbed in what they were doing that I could find this one without being detected. And so that's what I did. I located the cache, signed the log, and put the cache back in it's spot nicely for the next finder. So thank you c5urfer for taking the time to set up this cache and for bringing me to a spot I had never been in before. I really appreciate your efforts! This is day number 455 in my caching streak. TFTC

1st one

Easy location, thanks for the cache...

I don't like lizards and this was a pretty big one. Found the cache pretty quick after that. Container had water in it and log was wet, but still signable. Tftc

After looking at some of the pictures we almost didn't check one obvious spot. But finding the lizard helped point us in the right direction.

Found lizard and cache. TFTC

TFTC!
Very nice place and a amazing skate park too!

Tftc.

Had been looking forward to today all week with another goal in mind to try to grab a few Auckland based caches that "obviously" needed collecting (as it would just be right). So at 4am I met up with RWIMF for a good days caching and an over ambitious plan (Home by 3.30pm). We signed most of these with "RWCD" or some such variation there of.
So today I managed a grand total of 54 finds (only 3DNF's) and plenty of conversation. All I can say for the days activity in Auckland was that traffic was all good till just before 10am and absymal for the rest of the time until we started heading for home so that I could still get some chores done for the day.

Having completed those caches across the water it was over here, fortunatly it was a case of soprt being played n other fiels and all the action being at the opposite end of the paddock, so a good time to go hunting. Located the cache after a bit of a search.
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

I found the box but someone has come and destroyed the box and taken everything

Found it very fun

Searched everywhere and underneath bridge, found the lizard but no cache. Maybe washed away.

Going by the spoiler pics with co'ods plonking me on the path I searched the likely places and DNF. Pafed a friend and was positive I had been looking in the right spot. I got a bit muddy, it was the closest cache to the residence and didn't fancy the 12mt climb in the tennis tree. Owner has not been active for a few months and the cache has received no maintenance in 6 months.

Good find but cache is still wet.

The lizard did help to find it but everything inside was wet. Nice one

Found this one close to family's home. Logbook and container soaked. TFTC!

Wet, needs some attention. Tftc

1st one near our house more to go

Out and about for a little drive and to grab a few caches. Thanks.

Ha ha.. was thinking how to relate the hint, but gradually i did.. cahe is still slightly damp, but managed to sign the log. tftc

FITW Harisree

GPS took us abit of as it pointed to the middle of the field for some reason but logically we went and checked where would have been a good place to place a cache. Easily found but the logbook was really damp that couldn't write on it.

TFTC

Cool hide
Log is very wet and hard to sign.
Thanks for the hide.
Never cache here before.

Nice easy find on our last day in Auckland. TFTH

Found easily and just about managed to sign a very wet log. TFTC

Found it today. Book was too wet so I didn't sign it.

Found it wow amazing lizard!

The cache was found in the slimy mud, wet and wormy, but alive!
Need an urgently maintaining
Peace

Yay

Last cache for this part of town time to make my way across town to meet up with some other cachers.
Made a quick dash across the fields to GZ to see theres a walkway never mind i need the exercise. The cache was a quick find and returned to the car.
tftc

Our 2nd Sunday in a row exploring this side of town. Nice park. Thank goodness for the lizard to help us here. SL. TFTC.

Trickey clue but the Lizard saved us. Thanks.

Super easy find, log book was a bit damp may need replacing, would be good to bring old shoes as very boggy TFTC

I found it and it was my first find

Hi

Easy find

I found it

Yay my first find

Yay

Another 1

Found it. Took awhile but found in end. Hint really helped.

Found it again with the rest of the gang

Nice cache. Clue was a great help. Third cache this morning. There was no pencil so we left a spare one and we left a new trinket. TFTC

We found it

Good spot, pencil is not there anymore so I suggest you bring own writing device

Decided to do a few caches after work. I travel from West Auckland to Glendowie at the moment and it makes sense to grab caches after work. Nice little hide here and like the little 'object' at GZ!

Love it! Few muggles playing football nearby but no one spotted us..

Good find !

Cheers champ.

Cool find, lots of muggles around but secluded cache. TFTC

Nice park and grab after Miss Davieland's swimming class. Nice reserve. Luckily no muggles around today. TFTC.

Quick find on the way past the reserve. TFTC

Cool cache, quick find. We also found a cool clay lizard.

Nice and easy after a couple of thwarts. TFTC

Yay! Found It

Loved the pointer to the cache. Soon found and on my way. Tftc

Good one for begginers

In spite of my GPSr wanting me to go elsewhere, I knew where to look for the cache, and there it was. TFTC.

Great one for beginners

Hint:Clip,clop,clip,clop

GPS put us out on the grass past the path but common sense prevailed and the cache was easily located. Thanks

Found it easily! Great find!!!

First one! So cool!

My first geocache
