Couldn't find this one... Pretty busy at the caryard so I couldn't really go through the bushes without drawing attention...
Oh well I will need to come back at a much quieter time... e)

I had a whole in my calender and thought to go for this "easy" find....to find out this is not an easy find or simply it is not there. As the previous experience cacher also didnt find it.
Needs a check

Wrangling four kids today as school is closed for teachers only day so what else to do other than cache....
There were road works going on which was the perfect cover. Kids wanted to see the tractors and diggers so I jumped behind them for a quick find. Stayed for a few minutes afterwards and then moved on to the next cache.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice hide. Thought it was rubbish at first. On mission with kids and nice quick find first up!
Found on my way back from finding stage 2 off the cache "with the help of a friend in New Zealand", which was published In the US overnight, The iPhone gps was jumping a bit, but found it at the 3 place I looked.
Thank you for bringing me here.

After finishing up at work down south today I decided on a spot of caching in Papakura before the trip home. Parked up close by and found the hide in the second spot I checked. Log book was rather damp. I used to leave around the corner from here. Cheers for the hide!
Apologies for the very late and cut and paste log - I have been AWOL for a long while.
Found as part of the crazy crew that were up from Hamilton for the day with the specific objective of finding as many D/T combinations as possible.
Had a huge amount of fun and appreciated the huge effort put in by the cache owners in placing and maintaining their caches.
Many thanks

Out in Auckland today with the main goal of finding as many different D/T combos as possible. This trip has been a few weeks in the making with a lot of planning, and puzzle solving going into it. Together with McCutchan Cache Clan, Cats&Dragons, myself (HKCB), Iammrwalker, Kiwis69, Zorgon and 11HPG11, we managed to get quite a few, 41 to be exact! An early start was needed and around 15 hours later we made it back home, mission accomplished. Although some of us did want to continue on, most of us needed to get back to the muggles in our lives before we got into serious trouble. We signed the logs as MC HIKZ1 to save room, an acronym for our team.
The early morn meant that the place was muggle free and a quick find was had. Nice camo job, thanks for the hide.

I found this cache as a member of a group of the Hamilton Geocaching Overachievers Club. We signed the logs using an anachronism made up from our Geocaching handles MCHIKZ1 (McClutchan Clan, Cats&Dragons, HKCB, iammrwalker, Kiwi69, Zorgon and 11hpg11) to save on log space and time. We were on another mad mission devised by C&D to find 40 different DT ratings in one day. We left Hamilton at 5:30am and returned at 9:30pm tired, scared but most importantly successful.
This was our third find of the day, GZ was pretty quiet due to the sun having not yet risen. I was stoked to spot the cache and appreciated the camo.

Well another case of the Hamilton Cacher Crew mentioning a concept at a local event, others getting onboard, planning taking place and the mission being carried out.
The Mission this time was to collect as many different D/T combinations (including 5 different cache types) in a single day.
The schemers along for this mission were, Kiwis69, HKCB, 11HPG11, Zorgon, McCutchen Caching Clan, iammrwalker & Cats&Dragons. After a few weeks planning then replanning as likely caches were archived or disabled then redoing the plan finally we were at D-Day.
This was the 2nd of 54 caches for the day (41 Different D/T Combinations). It took a couple of passes with the torches before we spotted the cache, i will continue to believe that had it been daylight we would have been faster on the find. What more can I say than thanks for the find in the day, way too early in the morning.
Thanks for the placement

On yet another memorable and fun-filled day-long caching mission around Auckland with McCutchanClan, HKCB, IamMrWalker Cats&Dragons, Zorgon and 11hpg11, aiming to find as many different D/T combinations as possible before caching exhaustion takes over.
No problems here with so many seekers. Another sneaky little cache. Signed the log as McHICKZ1 to save log-book space, TFTC

A small mission a long time in the making. Caching in Auckland to try and get as many different D/T combos as we could in a day. We signed the logs as MCHIKZ1 to save room, an acronym for our team consisting of: McCutchan Cache Clan, Cats&Dragons, HKCB, Iammrwalker, Kiwis69, Zorgon and myself. An early start, a lot of kms traveled and a whole lot of laughs in-between. I think we all had a great time seeing a variety of different cache types and styles.
Glad to be here nice and early, no worries about muggles or much traffic at stupid o'clock. Could imagine this would be a bit harder later on. Thanks for the cache.

Out on a caching raid north of the Bombay hills with Cats&Dragons, HKCB, iammrwalker, Kiwi69, Zorgon and 11hpg11 on a 40 D/T mission for the day.
Starting to fell a bit suspious when 2 car loads of people rock on up and pile out and start rumminging thru the shrubs, but it was quickly found

Very easy to spot from some angles and not from others. Had to wait a while as there was someone having a long chat on their phone in the car park just nearby before a quick signing of the cache. The camo is very delicate and more is coming off.
Decided to do a few caches while in this area after work, MrNZT spotted this one quickly but noted that it was quite fragile and the camo was becoming unglued. Signed a slightly damp log and replaced. TFTC
My big plan for the day was to get up very early (which I did) cache about 3 hours before the start of the Ardmore Wings and Wheels event, attend that, then maybe some more caching afterwards. I had just found this cache and I get not one but 3 bleeps upon my cell! What! 3 new caches up in Papatoetoe, OK then let's try for those...
This cache as previous cacher has said was quite obvious, but still only to us cachers.

A quick park and grab for us today. Spotted it as soon as we got out the car, tried to replace it a bit better around the same spot as retrived, but it can still be seen at certain angles.
Wanted a quick local cache. Tried earlier but muggles present. Tried again after hours but had to wait for different muggles to finish their hot chips in their car before getting a quick find. Tftc
Thanks for the new cache. I am in this vicinity often so hope lots of others like it too.
Must have just missed you Tab 20 - you found it log wasn't on here when I left home .... more than half hour after publication I get a message from Mr Stik-a-crane who is out of town saying there is a new publication and less than 1km away ...so closed windows - put my drink and lunch into the fridge etc (did think of leaving house open - wasn't going to be long...) got to GZ and made a quick find - have to take 2nd here as when I opened the cache tab 20 had singed the log already. Replaced and I headed back to enjoy my cold drink and lunch - round trip less than 10 mins in total ... I think this should have 'stealth' attribute as probably will be needed esp during business hours (unless they know about it) also I would rate this as 1.5 diff and 1 star terrain (in fact for me it was more like a park and grab - in, found, signed, replaced and out in less than 2 mins)
interesting camo ....

When I noticed this cache, there was already a FTF, so I just came by when I had a minute and settled for a 3TF. TFTC.
