Has seen its days

Will archive but cant when using the app on samsung 8 .it gives no option to archive!.....Love to know why.

Might have seen its days...

We noticed this has not been logged for several months and decided to have a go when passing by this afternoon. GPS reading seemed quite decisive and we found what might have been part of the container but it was torn and empty.

(# 5103). Today is a trip up the way to grab some Palmy caches. The weather was kind so an enjoyable day all up. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC

Took some searching to locate this well hidden cache! Very hot day today so thankful it didn’t take too long. TFTC

Finally back this way and was able to reverse my previous DNF. I'm not sure how I missed it last time as I'm sure I checked this spot - geo-blindess is a real affliction. All safe and dry, TFTC.

Took a while to find but the kids found it! Good hiding spot

Found it!

Almost started to give up, took one last rummage and the cache was found. TFTC

#16317. There was lots of foliage to search, but Troodles got stuck in and quickly found the cache. TFTC.

Day #1 of our four day caching trip to Palmerston North. As it's the first time back in several years, there are heaps of new caches to find .
After attending this mornings event, and checking into our accommodation, we decided to head out west to the cache dense area of various trails. This afternoon it was all about the numbers.
The bush looked a bit daunting, but luckily the cache was a quick find. An interesting container. TFTC.

Attached indeed.. haha

Found at 10:05 - #8396 - on a 5 week trip in New Zealand

TFTC

Found the Geocach on our way to the Honey Shop .

It took a little Bit of searching but accurate Coordinates helped a lot.Still atatched and Well Camoflaged.

Log nice and dry.

TNLNSL TFTC

Out with D6 targeting regular caches to build up his stats and picking off a few bonus caches that were in the nearby vacinities.

Stopped for this one but gave up fairly quickly due to rain. Noted its a tricky hide and didn't fancy getting drenched.

Another day perhaps.

Cheers

Hunted for a while, and found lots of trash items, but nothing that chimed. Maybe another day.

Spent a while playing second fiddle to tricksy hide. Was buoyed noting logs saying coords in tune and continued searching. Score! 2nd time’s the chime?! Thanks haydn.seek

Stopped here yesterday with no luck, but today as we were driving past I had increased determination not to leave empty handed.
Found in the rain, nice hie TFTC

Last find for the day, on our way back home from doing the Palmy CITO event today. Bit of a hunt around, but well hidden and in good condition. TNLNSL and TFTC

Found today with the help of TwigNZ

We were chased inland by a thunderstorm. Through Rongotea the rain was really heavy, but just right here it was dry. Clever hide, we nearly missed it! Thank you!

Great hiding spot, had to help the kids out in this one tftc

Had a day out with Popmac caching in the area. 105 total today, and this was one of the last for the day. Quickly found. Thanks for the cache.

Checked this out while passing and it is still there well hidden.

Found a spot that I thought it should be but wasn't there. Checked all around there as well, still nothing.

And it was our associate Dean for the win this time. The coords are bang on so this is hoid one to let the kids do all the navigating. TFTC.

Did a quick stitch in time and all ok for now..

Outer container needs either replacement or some needlework.

It wasn't really the sort of day that I should have been out geocaching but I enjoyed it regardless. I didn't find this cache immediately but I was encouraged by mention of accurate coordinates in previous logs. I persevered and found the neatly hidden cache. Unfortunately, the other end of the outer part is no longer in good order and I feared the cache could end up somewhere from which it could be difficult to retrieve. I left it in a safer place but where I expect it will not be seen by muggles. Hopefully, the cache owner is able to effect some repairs to restore this cache to its former glory.

A good day out for a drive, and some caching. Sunny, but wind a little cool.
All good here, found OK and logbook signed.

TFTC

A bit of a mission to find this one. A clever hide that had us stumped. TFTC

I was in the area picking up a puzzle cache so popped over to grab this one. A little tricky but the coords are spot on. TFTC

A well hidden cache. took me a few minutes to spot. got some weird looks from passers by. I checked, and no I don't have two heads. TFTC

A brief detour off the return back to Wellington and we had this one in hand shortly after starting the look. Nicely hidden away .
Thanks for the cache.

Decided to take the long way to work this morning and search for this one which has eluded me on a couple of previous occasions. Stuck with it this time and spotted something I hadn't seen before at this site and there was the cache. TFTC

Nice quick find with cars whizzing by. Tftc

Nice hide! First international find!!! Great job!

Found on my second attempt was a little less busy today and so I was able to have much more of a poke around. Well hidden www cache - thanks for the placement.

A quick search found this one, co-ords are spot on. This type of simple camo is very effective.

checked on this and it is still there just well hidden....

No luck today

Nice Cache. Signed log. TNLN. TFTC.

The sea is calling me today so made this a stop along the way. Lots of rain lately made for a wet hunt, but contents safe and dry. Thanks.

FOUND after a lot of looking. Spent 20 mins trying to get lig out of container thay had been stuffed in way down too tight grrrr. Picked up trackable. Greay hide. Many thanks.

Not found at all

Found this afternoon after a few minutes' hunting, it was quite a well concealed cache. Fortunately the coordinates were very accurate. Signed log, TFTC

After completing the Rotorua Tough Guys & Girls Challenge in the weekend and then having to drive south for work on sunday this was going to be one of those very long weeks. So without rest and having to do presentations all day to a number of different groups today I managed to get ahead of things and make time for myself to find a few caches before the night set in.
This was the first of the afternoon so made it all the better as could get some local caches now and worry about work later on, but now its caching time.
This made for a nice quick find in a well protected area left a TB for the next cacher

Thanks for the placement and the fun

TB DROP

Yip

Easy find for beginners like us.

Left behind a Princess Leia

Got to GZ where I thought I had spied the cache but no I had not. A bit more of a closer look and the cache was quickly located. Did the paperwork and returned the cache to its hide. TNLN. Thanks for the placement.

It took a while but eventually I spotted a suspicious object. TFTC

700th Find for us. Mr 5 found this as i couldnt, he was just at the right height. TFTC

Finally got around to looking for this again. First visit I couldn't find it. Next two times I drove past there were workmen at the site. This time all was clear and there was very little traffic also. I saw the cache container as I drove up to GZ as it was lying out in the open. Cache was replaced where I think it should be, certainly less than 20cm from the original location if I didn't get it quite right. Thanks for the hide haydn.seek

First find on a cruise back from Palmerston North this afternoon. TFTC.

Quick and easy find of the way north to and event in Palmerston and caching for the day. Thanks for the cache. Did with Wandering Dragons, Violet Butterfly and Astro Hunter

Did with CrystalFairy

Cache # 2,445 - Quick find today. Lots of big trucks rolling by this area. Did with Crystal Fairy, MycroMan, Violet Butterfly and Astro Hunter. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Found today with The Wandering Dragons, Crystal Fairy, Astro Hunter and MycroMan. Thank you.

Cache # 988

Grabbed today with The Wandering Dragons, Crystal Fairy, Violet Butterfly and MycroMan. Thanks!

Cache # 438

#6468. We were en route to Palmerston North via No. 1 Line. Stopped and walked around the corner to Rongotea Road to seek the wind chime. GZ was all quiet and so we did not hear anything. A quick find though and a nice hide. The cache was in good condition.
- One Day at a Time
Left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.

All made perfect sense one I found the container - nicely hidden - had to come back for a second look after initially missing it. Added a GC I've had with me for a little while.

TFTC!
+ "One Day at a Time" GC

Great little hide! Took Stones - replaced with Recipe card, and goodies for next hunter!

Found with rach and scott15great find

A nice container, thanks Emm for the Wind Chime, a quick find at a very busy intersection this morning, TFTC.

nice and easy find , didn't chime for us

What a cool cache. Easu fun find. thanks

Out doing a spot of caching with DD Jnr and helping Etherlord with cache maintenance, had to stop by and grab this one. Neighbour dog yelled at us through the fence. TFTC.

Found with Dad on his birthday, Log signed as DD Jnr.

Wellington to Auckland, time for a few caches, after dinner.

Tftc

Found after searching for a few minutes.
I biked to GZ from the Hospital during my lunch break (13.5 Km round trip!!!) on a fairly hot day. The things we do for a dot-day?

It took us quite a while to find this simple but sneaky find. We found the hint a bit misleading, and we didn't understand the name until we were replacing the cache. TFTC

Great spot

This was nicely hidden, the cache and contents in fine condition. Thanks for the smiley today.

Down in the area for a caching week
Enjoying finding all these caches.
TFTC

TFTC nifty hide, nice dry cache with plenty of swaps for the kids - took coin, added gems.

Found with Just-Lookin on the way to the event in Palmerston North.

Nicely done!
SL TFTC

Out on a short road trip with tmann421 on Waitangi Weekend. We were headed to a Palmerston North event when we called in to collect this one.

A quick search and the cache soon located.

Sign log and cache in good order TFTC log by Gsak

Kids did the find on this one I even let them use the new gps...must teach them how to read it properly. I had to come to the rescue to redirect them to the spot.

Quick find, clever little hide

being that I didnt want to play paintball today I thought some more caching could be in order with kaleb, travelled from feilding to palmy to foxton to palmy to ashurst and back to palmy and then onto home for one last cache - this was a rather quick cache to grab and not much traffic around even better, added swag and placed back tftc

[green] At last I have time to do some caching in my home town. After turning for a few days, then heading off to Rotorua and Opotiki for Christmas with the family. At long last I am back here, with a little time to dedicate to... me! Hired a car (I'm really going to need it tomorrow) so doing some running around in town, mopping up some of the new caches. Alas I was working off my cellphone, which doesn't cope well in very bright sunlight, so i ended up parking in the wrong place, 40m away. the road dropped down quite steep, probably had the car on a 20-30 degree slope. Someone behind pulled up and said "Are you all right? I saw you go past the intersection and end up in the ditch!" I said I was fine. Nice of them to stop and check up! Found the cache alright (working off the cellphone) but missed spotting its namesake. Thanks for the hide! Hope people still can find my Noname #1 underneath it (underneath on the map, that is)

Found after a brief search on our way back from foxton yesterday. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Easy find.

Saved this one for a Christmas Day dot day. Neatly hidden and good to have a straight forward find with plenty of safe parking, thanks hadyn-seek-nz-wil677 and Merry Christmas!

Over in Palmy for the last of the Xmas shopping with Mrs skindo, I wasn't required for an hour or so, so what better to do than go and find a few caches. I was happy with the 15 I found in about and hour and a half.

This cache was a quick find in the first place I looked, thanks for the cache hadyn-seek-nz-wil677

decided today was the day to come find this as we had to come over this side of town , nice quick find thanks for the cache

I found my wind chime. Yeh!

Nobody home here today so a quick snatch and on our way again. Very busy road!! TFTC

found it out on a run as sun was setting. lovely spot. not too busy at that time of nite. tftc

A good hide..very windy here today..TFTC!

Almost didn't spot this one & picking a busy time of day didn't help TNLNSL TFTC

A spot of Sunday caching in and around the district.
Pleased to make a straightforward find on this rather quirky arrangement.
Cache in order; log signed, safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Tidying up a few caches over this side of Palmy. A busy road, but with good parking, no one was paying us too much attention.
Left a pet rock - a hedgehog. TFTC

An effective hide - quite difficult to get time to ourselves - a busy intersection. The wind chimes would have been tangled and blown away in the strong winds here today, as Mrs G nearly was while she tried to complete the proceedings! TFTC

I cycled past here on Saturday, but I didn't realise that there was a geocache here until today.
This afternoon I was nearby with some spare time, so I popped over to have a look.
Found after a short search.
Thanks.

Didn't take too long to find the cache but fast moving muggles kept appearing from all directions. Finally managed to grab the logbook during a lull in traffic but I noticed that there was a muggle across the road at his letter box as I returned to the car to sign the log - not sure if I was seen as the car would have partly obscured me. Managed to replace the cache without anybody in sight but had only taken a few steps away from the hide before more vehicles appeared. TFTC.

An early evening park and grab for a easy find. Thanks for the cache.
