Mrs S says she's had enough of this one. Time to free up the space. Thanks to everyone who found the hide, hope your enjoyed the puzzle.
Out collecting some recently solved puzzles tonight. A nice quick find here, all safe and dry. TFTC
Got answers right first time, but must've made error typing into geochecker, and spent a long time rechecking everything Didn’t think would be anywhere to secrete a cache at GZ — nicely done! Cheers SAROCs
I've been sitting on the solution to this one for quite a while now. I remembered about it while in the area today, so made sure I stopped by for a nice quick retrieve. Enjoyed the hide, a good way to place the cache in spots like this.

Solved this a little while ago and as I was in the area decided to get this one. A quick find in the sun. TFTC
Megan and I went out to find this one after dinner. It was a bit cold and drizzly out there, so we tried not to muck around.
Cool cache. Have seen one like this before. Nice and dry inside.
Thank you

#3073. I needed at least 3 caches today so decided to head over to Porirua to convert a few previous DNF caches and pick up some others in this area. This was my last one of the evening. I decided to solve this puzzle on the weekend. My eldest daughter knew the answers to five of the questions and rest came courtesy of my friend Mr G.ogle. Tonight the GZ was deserted at dusk so made for a quick find. Probably should have left it as back-up cache for a rainy day but decided to sign it as I am now just a couple of caches away from having 250 for the month of Nov. Thanks for the puzzle and the nicely placed cache.
Down in Wellington for the weekend. Initially this was to be a pre-visit before a work conference this week but that's been cancelled due to head office being kicked out of their building as the building next door has been damaged in the recent earthquakes. Decided to come to Wellington for the weekend anyway.
After visiting the Gallipoli exhibition at Te Papa and caching in Island Bay, I decided to slowly make my way back to my accommodation for the night in plimmerton, caching on the way. I realised that I was in the general area for this puzzle that I have had on my solved list for months, so I backtracked in order to collect the cache. Quickly located the cache was the final location. Blends in well but I've seen many of this camo over the past 10 months. TFTC

Solved the puzzle sometime ago and after a good few hours gardening and cleaning needed to get out for a bit of a stretch so what better than a wee cluster of Sarocs, Nice little hide but cache all in good order and yes area does get a lot of muggle activity.
I enjoyed solving this and even better when you get to us and spot something that blends in and yet stands out. Quick grab here before heading back to taranaki after coming.down for Roman keating concert
Once upon a time solving a puzzle like this would have involved a trip to the library and much study of the Guinness Book of Hit Records. Not any more. A few minutes with Wikipedia and all was solved. I had a quick find at GZ (thankfully, as it was pouring with rain) and on my way. TFTC!
Clever camo. Easily spotted if you'fe looking for it but "invisible" if you'de.not.
Solved this one months ago, but decided today was the day. Mycro Man was adamant he was going to find the cache and spotted it in a few seconds.. But then took him a good minute to extract the cache. Thanks for the fun puzzle and nicely done hide.
Another puzzle off the solved pile. Dog needed a walk this evening so did a bit of a large loop which included walking past game zone. Even this late in evening there was still traffic but intermittent enough to make the find and grab. Log book nearly full and will need to be replaced soon. Thanks for the puzzle and thanks for the cache.
What a great camo! Worth a FP. Had to resort to google for the answer to some of the questions. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache. Had to exercise a degree of patience in order to return it - muggle taking his exercise on this nice sunny day.
Good old Google.... solved a while ago and finally drove past on my way home tonight. Had a suspicion it would be this type of cache after checking the location on Google Earth so a quick find at GZ. Another excellent puzzle and cache, thank you oh and apologies. the only pen I had was a yellow gel pen so my log might be a bit smudged
Have to confess I didn't know many of the answers so had to resort to google. Completed the formalities this evening while collecting a few of the local caches. TFTC Mrs SAROC, #8262
Not quite my area of expertise but a bit of research turned up the correct numbers. In the area today on a particularly pleasant spring day so decided to pop in and sign the logbook. A well disguised hide.

I even knew a couple of these answers with my daughter and Google providing the rest. A very good and easy hide at the final. TFTC.
Nice quick find with little blue hen. Nice to tick this one of the to do list. TFTCSL
No problems with the gps today and business quickly completed in the warmth of the car. T4TCSL
I had solved the puzzle very shortly after the cache was published but for some reason had never got around to coming and collecting the prize. Stopped here this morning for an instant find, I spotted it as I approached. Signed log, TFTC!
Nice puzzle good mix of questions. think question one has had a bit of a change, but who can keep up with all the boy bands these days! GZ stunk like sewage from the recent storm and the adjacent road was closed but i am please to report the cache made it though unharmed! TFTC and TFTP
Day 9 of my attempt at a 10 day mystery cache streak.
I knew 5 of the answers and had to use the internet to find out the rest.
A quick find of the nicely hidden cache.
Thanks.

Another SAROC puzzle on the solved list. Pulling up to GZ it was pretty obvious where the cache would be, but a first quick look didn't reveal a hide that I was expecting. I expanded my search but didn't turn up anything until I looked back at the original location and saw a hide I've seen before, but not on this type of object. TFTC
Headed in the one direction where we knew this pop-ular cache would be. Didn’t want to get the blues if we failed, so felt rap we spotted this classical hide, then a hip hop and a new wave and we were off, many thanks.
Thanks for the puzzle which was purely an exercise in Google searching for me.
A quick find at GZ. Thanks for the cache.

Solved this puzzle just after the cache was published then somehow forgot all about it. Then while preparing for today's SAROC caching mission I was pleased to see that one puzzle was already solved! Great 'cheeky' hide. SLTFTC
I had to defer to a higher source of knowledge to get most of the answers. A generational thing probably. Everything at GZ was pretty much as I expected. Cheers and TFTC
Cache # 2,335 - a quick puzzle solve about a month ago and then onto my list of solved puzzles to find Someday. This morning was Sing a Song's turn, and from 94.1 metres away I knew it would be a Breeze. Fortunately a clear morning so I didn't have to be Singing in the Rain, and you could see that the Stars Are Out Tonight. Much quicker find than I was expecting. TNLNSL. TFTC!
#1497 After running out of time for a morning find before work yet still wanting to keep a streak going, I decided to check this little puzzle out. I correctly picked most of the answers but there were a couple I had to confirm with google. Nice quick find before it got dark. TFTC and another puzzle.
I knew four of the answers but research was needed to uncover the rest of the information needed.
I thought retrieval of the cache at this site would be tricky but there seemed to be nobody else around this evening so I was able to quickly complete my mission.

Nice easy wee puzzle to solve - mostly via my browser, and the clever wee container. Worth a FAV for just being so do-able, TFTP
This cache was in a strange language to me as my musical interests are in a Different Direction, so I had to research all of the answers.
A quick find at GZ, even though it was a weekday no muggle issues.

#6180. Enjoyed solving the interesting puzzle. Able to find and replace the cache quickly in between muggles today. The cache was in excellent condition. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the puzzle and cache.
Not sure whether knowing the answers to about half of these off the top of my head was a good thing or not, but a quick search soon filled in the gaps. After trying (and failing) at a newly published multi (I couldn't think, count, or both!) I decided this was my best chance of a smiley for today. All quiet at GZ, and a quick find. TFTC
Nice easy puzzle thank you! Enjoyed solving it and enjoyed the cache container too
Ahh what awesome caches I have seen on my travels this week , from fake logs, to mint tins stuck to posts, to nanos under benches to awesome tree climbing cache hides, his week has been an awesome time to check out the new caches and of course old!! It was great to see all the different places too, like nelson, and greytown, and Blenheim of course!! Then there was the small tiny areas, where we stopped to see earthquake museums, with of course the ''rural' caches as I like to call them. then of course there was the significance of stop offs; like the bulla swing bridge, where I went, saw and conquered there and back twice, while dad stooof o the comfort of the flat grass, smiling, waving and taking pictures Funny, but the best part about that bridge was when the people who worked there, started to come across when I was I was about half way going back ,so they had to get past, so they tilted the bridge sideways, onto its side, so then I could get past, it was pretty scary, but awesome too!! Then the bridge bounced and went side to side and swung it was really awesome! Then as they walked to the other side they were jumping and swinging from side to side, it was great fun!!:)
But anyway the caches I encoun tered on my trip were rreally good, each one was different in some way, including popmacs mint trail series in the north island, which was a really neat idea!!
Anyway, I would like to say thanks tov all the great cache owners who took their time to place all these caches Thank you and well yeah TFTCs all round

It's holiday time and I'm off to the South Island for a few days holiday with the great nightowl19. On the way down to the ferry we decided some caches were in order. There have been some handily placed on the route we're taking so a small diversion is in order to move my total slowly but surely to the magical 3000 figure. Have also pencilled in an Earth cache, puzzle and multi for later so diversity is the key
This was todays puzzle, spotted it last night and nightowl19 knew most of the music, just had to Google a couple of answers
Nice hide at G Z too

First find of the New Year. Grabbed on way to shops to get stuff for tonight's BBQ TFTC
To be honest, I only knew 3 of the answers for sure. The rest I had to look up. Quite busy at GZ this morning but a fast find and retrieval. Yet another neat cache here, TFTC SAROC and have a fave point.
FTF! with the whole family except Mrs 1Grunta.
1Grunta needed a little (no, a lot) of help with the puzzle

Got a couple of the kids to help with the puzzle, and made a quick solve.
Raced out to the car and headed to the cache.
Didn't see anyone around, so hoped for a blank logsheet.
The other kid managed to spot the cache first.
Yay! FTF!
