Mr 7 found this one today whilst caching with his poppa in the holidays. Unfortunately it is just the container, no lid or log. Tftc
I had found this cache previously and took my grandson (DRWKJW) to it today to find the container with no lid or log
Out this way caching again today ....Knew exactly where to park my car this time ! Thanks for replacing this soodex !
Then I went grocery shopping at the lovely New World ...wish we had one where I live...

Had been doing some night orienteering up the street and searching my phone found this was very close. Carpark was pretty quite and a quick find with Okayness. TFTC
Hooray! Saw the cache had be re-enabled and first to sign the new clean log! SL TFTC. Now to do some grocery shopping!
Hope this has now been replaced ..... out this way again tomorrow after 3 months ...
Looked again today and consulted with previous finders CODEHILL who confirmed that it has gone
Looked everywhere we could think off but no luck for us. I wonder if it has gone?
No sign of your cache here tonight sorry soodex .
I know the usual place it should be in !

TFTC. Nice hide. Having done a few of these type before I had guessed where it would be once I saw the structure.
Found similar caches before so a quick find, but extreme stealth was required being a very high muggle zone TFTC
Went with TheDrewJames. Our first ever cache experience was this one, but we had no luck at night being novices. Our second attempt was a success and the previous logs were definitely helpful in figuring it out. This is doable at night, but maybe less so if you're totally inexperienced. TFTC!
Re-visited today and with the lovely SamJBird found the log. Left out names. We never know they did that until today. TFTC
Arrived at GZ and decided we would stay in the car for this one. Let Master 7 out and explained to him where it would be and what to do. He was back at the car within a few seconds with cache in hand. We have found a few of these now, so had some idea of what to expect. Signed the log and the little guy took it back. Another one that we keep saying we must find, but have never gotten around to doing it. TFTC
We don't go to this supermarket often, but one time when I did, I deduced where this cache would be, and you know what, I was right. My Geopowers must be getting stronger, mind you, it wasn't all that hard.
We managed to get a park right next to GZ and sent master chrisandmum out to retrieve the cache. Firstly we gave him the plan and then left him to it while Mrs. chrisandmum and I stayed in the car. It wasn't long before master chrisandmum returned with the cache in hand and big smile on his face.
With the cache being where it was, I am not sure how many if any muggles saw anything going on. By staying in the car, at least Mrs. chrisandmum and I were distancing ourselves from the action of our child a bit. With the log signed in the car to avoid prying eyes, the cache was returned to it's hiding place and we were off to the next one on our list.

Cool hide, easy find.. Even though GPS was trying to take us somewhere else.. TFTC
Hard to be stealthy at this carpark! but I think I did very well. Luckily I have seen a couple of these hides before, so I knew what to do. A quick grab, photos taken, and I was on my way. Thanks for the hide
One would like to think that these places are safefor caches.. came here in the dark so no prob doing the business.
It's a pretty damp day, so not too many Muggles around. Saw a couple of pretty neat mushrooms whole I looked for the cache!
Finally found it!, with the help of some smarter friends, 1/3 caches found today TFTC
Nice quick find as we have found plenty of these in the past! Just what we needed for a gap on the calendar when we've been working all day and it's late, cold & dark. TFTC
5th find of the day, one of those ones we've been meaning to do for a while. #597 in total. TFTC.
Out for the day picking up caches to satisfy the requirements for the GIO licence.
A quick drive by cache and find.

Quick drive by and grab as there's not too many places it could be and we knew where it would be. TFTC
Nice park and grab as we had found one similar at the New World on Lunn Ave. We went here so we could steer a work muggle in the right direction when they begin their caching journey.

Knew exactly where this would be, so it was a quick raid on the way home from a jazz evening. TFTC!!!
I actually found two caches hiding here. Maybe the cache that went missing has reappeared? TFTC.
Haven't been back here after my DNF and replacement.
Drove past after coming form the local movie theatre.
Some people walking around GZ a bit puzzled.
Parked the car walked over to GZ and showed them the cache.
Thanks for replacing.

A very quick find here as we knew exactly where this one would be hidden. Had to make it quick as the car park was very busy with shoppers and cars, TFTC!
Found it on our second attempt- needed a hint from Uncle Sam, and a friendly fellow geocacher saw my daughter and I trying to be sneaky and helped out too- thanks heaps!!! Lol got there in the end! tFTC
Found with my Mum, NewlynFam. Have now created my own account so am logging all finds I was present at and helped with.
Yay was glad to see it had been replaced and we could quickly cross it off our list thanks
After a couple of DNF's, I had to check and sure enough it had disappeared. Replaced with new cache. All set to go again. Beware of muggles watching from afar! Happy caching.
We were out on a little cache run around East Auckland today, working on collecting some requirements towards our GIO Licence challenge on Rangitoto Island.
A quick find, as we knew exactly what type of hide this would be. Did this after grabbing groceries and before heading home for the evening! Thanks for the cache.

Was passing by and noticed the new supermarket and then remembered there was a cache published here recently - it would almost be rude not to stop!
Had the right idea as to where it was to begin with but missed it on the first pass (no idea how) but after another minute thought thats the only place that fits with the clues, title etc so had another look and there it was!
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.
After a refreshing drive in the country-side then up along the eastern coast in the rain this afternoon there was time to collect one more cache as I made my way home. Parked up next to GZ and made a super quick find. Then I had to wait for passing muggles to pass on by before returning. Cheers for the cache placement!
Early morning walk to grab this one, thankfully no one was around.
Great to get another FTF!! TFTC

Saw this one come up last night, but I couldn't be bothered heading out at 11pm for a FTF.
Was heading out to beachlands at lunchtime to clear some caches out there, so thought I would stop off here.....my guess was right were I thought it would be.

Saw this come in late at night and woke up this morning and decided to head over to gz. Found cache was logged so diverted to another released cache and bumped into Avoyager who had just logged the ftf on this cache! Came back and did the duties here. Glad was early as this would have been difficult during business hours! TFTC
