On an after-work mission to find the daily cache with rattll. A quick find at GZ, although under total observation by the CCTV cameras. Does Waikato Energy know the cache is there? All good in the container. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!
Out for a bit of a drive to grab a cache with matagouri. A nice quick find here. Thanks for putting it here
TFTC! Quick park n grab on a lovely Tuesday afternoon while heading to Auckland. Picked up a trackable on the way!
Plenty of room for parking, and reached in to make a quick find, Grabbed one of the TB's to keep moving, TFTC
After a week of with a head cold I needed some fresh air and so with today being a lovely late winter\early spring day I set off to loop round to Taupiri and back.
Revisiting this cache following a failed attempt a month or so back. Happily, I had been looking in the right place before and the find was so much easier now the cache is back!

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
*We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area and good caches.*
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!

After a day in Hamilton I have been moving further north and after making a slight detour I picked up these few caches. It’s a busy road but had places to park and caches all good Thanks a lot Ben I enjoyed your caches TFTC
Nice camo!. Very good park & grab. Had to wait for a break in traffic tho. Too many muggles. TFTC!
Plenty of uninterested traffic going past this spot taking absolutely no notice of the nutters getting a close-up view of a barbed wire fence. TFTC
Mere consequence I'm sure but I got an electric shock when I got out of the car, 31st cache for day, physically charged.
Today we made the last long journey (from Waitomo to Auckland) during our New Zealand trip traveling. As we had plenty of time on our way over there we made several stops to find cache en drop off trackables where needed. Thanks to all the owners for hiding and maintaining them.
Tried to leave a trackable here which goal is to get close to a certain mystery cache, but this cache is micro instead of small

This week is my with Ethness in the North Island. We are driving from Wellington to Auckland, with a few detours. It is a 5 day trip.
Today is day one after spending the night in Hamilton we went out geocaching to Auckland. We are signing as TEN Team Ethness Nosynel.
We were stopping for larger geocaches, old geocaches, eye puzzle series and enjoying others on the way.
We solved the puzzles at home over time. Then we incorporated our puzzles into the plan. I love geo Art.
On the way to the geo art. We appreciate the nice easy find today.
Sadly there is no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. I plan on going to the OzGeomuster in July. To find out more visit this site: https://www.ozgeomuster.com.au
If you can't make Aussie. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. I will keep you posted in my logs.

I was wanting to find a cache on Christmas Eve on my way back from work, this was was quick and easy in the dark with pouring rain. Tftc
Down collecting some local puzzles with jard1037 along with some trads we passed along the road. Nice quick find.
Had just completed collecting the Kiwi Art series with urbangypsynz and were heading over to the AOL series and stopped here for a quick find on the way. TFTC
Out for a day's caching with Team BOPnJam. Nice p'n'g. quick find with only one spot it would really be. TFTC
Out caching with Team BOPnJAM. The aim of the day was to clear as much of Huntly as possible.
Another quick park and grab to boost the days total. Well over 100 caches found today and still counting!

Another big trip planned this time in an effort to obtain all the Hidden Creature Souvenirs. Team BOP (Davidson clan, McJandals, Frogybecaching, TNXPro & myself) joined with a couple of Westies (Jag50&Merlot58) to fill up the van and clear Huntly off the caching map Now we're on our way home - head lamps at the ready - cherry picking our way through Hamilton. We signed the logs as BOPnJAM for expedience and to save on log space.
Substations - pretty standard places to find caches these days. Cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Cheers eyespyben. TFTC.

With Hidden Creature souvenirs up for grabs. A plan was hatched with our Westie buddies. We were all ready for a stormy rainy day but the weather gods were good to us today with no rain until getting home at 10pm. A fun day was had by all and many thanks To all the COs for giving us a reason to come here. We had a nice mixture of cache containers, types, DTs and hides. We signed as BOPnJAM to save room on the logs. Please excuse my cut and paste logs in advance due to numbers. Cheers
Arrived in Hamilton yesterday, woke up bright and early, off i went to the petrol station first of all, otherwise would not have been good as the day went on. A foggy morning again for day 2 of my caching adventure. fog hadn't lifted by the time i arrived at this cache, noticing that i had gone 100 or so meters too far past the cache, but that didn't stop me, parked the car, and off i went for a nice stroll on a very busy road to gz. didn't take long to locate the cache now that I was in the correct spot. quick easy find, signed and placed back exactly as i found it. thanks for the cache. off to the next one.
Happy Easter

Weather in our favor today and enjoyed some much needed caching ended up with a tally just over 40 replaced logs where needed and enjoyed some good laughs over the course of the day, thanks for taking the time to place the cache.
Busy road, but plenty of room to ditch the car for a nice grab-and-go. Great cache, thanks!
Final road trip with my mom and this time we are off to Te Aroha. Easy find during our travels. TFTC
After finishing up work early this morning I decided to take a drive into the Waikato. Making my way back towards home I decided to stop for this one as it was along the way. Managed to pull in, next to GZ. Cache was quickly detected after the briefest of searches. Managed to safely turn right out of here, back onto the main drag. Cheers for the cache placement!
We could see where the cache location was, at least in a macro sense on the way down the street. Bit of traffic here and we pulled over and quickly found the cache. Had to wait a bit to be able to safely pull back into traffic. Thanks for the park and grab, all good here.
We travellled down from Auckland at lunchtime today, and spent the afternoon mowing our Gordonton property. By the time we were done the light was fading, and we still needed our cache for the day. Checked the map for something suitable nearby, and this looked the best bet to find in the dark, with parking for our truck. And it was a good choice. A quick find then back 'home' for dinner. TFTC
Out caching the GeoArt trails for the day and then the rain arrived.
Time to head back to Te Rapa to dry off but maybe I could park here and get this smilie too.

In Hamilton for a Daffodil show yesterday. Had an early start for a big day caching, a quick stop as I headed out into the country side. Thanks eyespyben for the cache.
On an all night caching bender with harisree and Gorby to clear out the Eyes puzzles currently released, along with the Kiwi art series and any other caches that we drift along past. Who knows where we will get to or when we will get home. but that's the fun of it, right... TFTC!!!
I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.
Today the target is ten. This is No. 2.
Cheers for the cache.

Decided to take the scenic route to Auckland and try a few caches on the way. This was find number 2. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC
My 2nd to last cache for a very long day of caching, left Auckland at 3;30am, now I'm heading home, still in the dark, should get home about 9:30pm. Parked up close by the cache and made my way to GZ. The cars rush by here for sure, gotta be careful in the dark. Easy find, thanks for your caches today eyespyben, appreciate your hard work too!
