This has clearly been missing for over two years. The CO disabled it over a year ago but shows no sign of replacing it. Time to archive.
Nothing doing.. Gave up about 10 minutes of searching.. Can cache owner check on cache or archive...
We tried so hard and had a good time looking but our first time geo caching and the cache wasn't there!!
After reading previous logs we weren't surprised we couldn't find this so didn't spend too long.
A lot of excitement for the grandchildren as the man next door brought out a 3 week old Golden Retriever puppy , and the grand kids found the cache too. Have to give it a fave , so much fun.TFTC.
Not too well hidden, could see it as I walked towards it, tried to hide it from others the best I could. Container isn't very waterproof either.
A beautiful rainbow in the sky all morning. Maybe this was the treasure at the end? Coordinates had me searching in a grassy patch by the path but with the hint treasure was easily found. Never knew there was a dog excercise area here. Might bring our dog down some time. Thanks for the tip!

Coordinates a little off, but easy find. Had to be careful putting the cache back as dog walkers swarmed the area. Tftc.
Quick find, last of the afternoon. Logsheet very damp though still writeable. TFTC.
Quick find while getting some fresh air after the rain. TFTC

Find #2339. One of many finds today on a bike circuit of Waikanae & Paraparaumu. Lots of caches in very poor condition because of the recent heavy rain. This one not very water tight and the perch a bit dubious! SL TFTC
This was a very easy find as the cache container was lying on the ground. I put it back where I reckoned it belonged.
I am unsure why this cache has such a name? The hint was excellent so it was a straight forward find but I am unsure if it will stay precariously perched. Don't you get winds down your way? thank for this cache.
The name had us intrigued but we found the cache so that was all that mattered TFTC
Didn't find the hint object, but I did find the cache - floating in the water!
I managed to rescue it without falling in myself (not sure how).
Took it back to the car to sign the log.
Then decided I would stash it nearby and email the CO so he would know where to find it.

Had a couple of days staying in Paraparaumu and manged to get quite a lot of caching time. Fair bucketing down for a good portion of both days - hence some very very short logs in an attempt to keep the logs as dry as possible! Thanks for the caches, neat area to cache in.
Cache # 2,333 - a quick find even at night. Coordinates off a far ways (18 metres by my GPS) but hint meant only one place to look. TNLNSL. TFTC!
An afternoon caching on the Kapiti Coast. Straightforward find Thanks for the cache.
Great quick find but ewwww full of earwigs kaptain k screamed and gave me a super fight! good giggle for arvo tftc =)
Nice quick find at GZ. Like a previous finder I'd be suspect about the longevity of this cache once winter comes. Perhaps needs an appropriate securing mechanism?!?
TFTC!
TFTC!
Came here on an afternoon excursion from Wellington to clean up some unfound caches in the area. This cache was an instant find in the first place checked. I'm not sure how long it's going to last here, I suspect it's likely to end up on the ground after the next decent storm. Signed log, TFTC!
Need to get my eyes checked as I could not have found it without grove-daughter too.
A quick park up & out the car for a straight forward find.

Was in Kapiti for work and decided that while I was here I might as well get a cache for today, decided to look at what cache that I would do and noted that this cache would be a good one as it was too far out of the route that I was taking today.
After finishing all the work that I needed to do today in the are and before heading back south I thought that this was a great opportunity to try and grab this cache. Having tried to get this cache a while back but had to give it a miss as the neigbour was next to GZ last time I was here and I decided that it was not a good idea.
Arriving back here today the area was muggle free and when I got to GZ I noted that there was a bit of work done near GZ and that the council had done a bit of cleaning up next to GZ, noted that they also dropped the nice big tree that was a bit further up the path next to the entrance to the park, a bit of a shame as this was a great spot to provide some shade in the area. The GPS had put me about 10 metres away but using the hint it was obvious where the cache was going to be, managed to find the cache in the first spot that I looked and retrieved it without any issues signed and returned it back as found, a very interesting spot for a cache, thanks for placing the cache here and bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (8544)

Co-ords a little away, but easily found with the hint

Thanks
ThanksHad cache hiding in stream for me also but a Quick find nonetheless.USE the hint!!!
Co-ords were 15 or so mtrs out.

Thought that today's terrible weather would provide stealth cover (an nobody in their right mind would be out there). Coordinates seemed to be encouraging me to go swimming, so I looked around and found a location which fitted the hint, but I couldn't find the cache. In fairness, the weather was too bad to linger, so it may be there, but after 5 mins of searching all likely spots I moved onto easier options for today's smiley...
2nd to find! Just dashed out and picked this one up as I've not done any caching today and this is not too far away. This being a high muggle area, overlooked by some houses, extreme stealth was required. Tftc.
(FTF) with tylerdrummond at 12:20pm today. Should think so to as it was only a few doors down from where we live! Timing was bang on as we were just returning from dropping my brother off at Wellington airport when I noticed a new email on my phone. Cool a new cache so drove straight past home and parked right outside the park for a nice quick park and grab and a beautiful blank logsheet. Coordinates were a little off according to me but still a nice easy find using the hint. SLTFTC
(FTF) with Hamish.D, gladly, too, as we hadn't gotten and FTF in awhile! A fairly fast find, though coordinates slightly off, which I suppose was expected as it's practically next door! TFTC
