I have a feeling it is very much down hill from here - the cache appears to have been muggled!
A quick break from studying and assignments for a few caches. Quick find here thanks to easy clue. Thanks for the cache
Early morning find in the frog while in Hamilton for the dahlia show. Thanks for the cache 11hpg11.
Great day for caching forgot to log this yesterday. Found with yesmegustin. Tftc.
A nice quick easy find on the way to work. Cool little path - I can see why the sign says no bikes though! The type of hill I probably would have attempted on a skateboard many moons ago. Inside of cache damp, but log book in good order due to second container & waterproof paper. The camo tape is pretty cool! TNLN. SL. TFTC!
News Years Day, perfect for a series of driveby and walkbys in the Waikato. With no-one around parking was pretty easy. Thanks.
Again in Hamilton for work staying two nights. Enjoyed a walk along the river collecting some geocaches. TFTC
Well I pick the wrong end to come from. Lol uphill. Grab a couple tb. TFTC and thanks for the exercise.
Found in the pouring rain - the dedication is real! Found with moonunitiv tftc
Spent to long looking for it before realizing it was in the obvious place! Nice cache, cool container too.
I made good use of the search function on my phone app that allows me to filter caches that haven't been found by particular cachers. So I could easily see which caches neither me nor thescoobydoos had found. This was our first find of the day. Down then up for us. The hint led us straight to it. TFTC
25/08/16 21:45 Dot Day. In the rain. Glad this was here as I didn't fancy getting my suit & dress boots all wet & muddy. Excellent placement - had me going in the dark for a minute... Thanks, Cheers, GC.
Had a good hunt and even broadened my search area...previous logs suggest it shouldn't be this hard to find so maybe it is missing? Can CO pls check...
Once again in Hamilton for work...so tackled this area on my evening walk. Had a good hunt and even broadened my search area...previous logs suggest it shouldn't be this hard to find so maybe it is missing?
DNF but was in a bit of a rush so may have overlooked it, lots of plants and old bottles etc to look through
Nothing behind power pole. Or maybe I didn't look hard enough. Lots of sticky stuff on the plants :/ will come back!
I parked up near the footpath and headed down. No muggles on the path today so it was a quick and easy find for me. Tftc.
The end of 2015 saw us take on a big couple of days of caching. At the beginning of the year, we set a goal of reaching 4000 caches by the end of the year. Towards the end of 2015, it wasn't looking too promising as geocaching got put a bit on the backburner for us as life and things happened. Come two days to the end of 2015 and we realised we were much closer than we realised, so set off to Hamilton for some binge caching to reach that milestone! Today was a day with a lot of more DNFs than expected and less numbers than we wanted, but regardless, it still brought us that little bit closer to our goal.
An interesting little walk way here! Soon spotted the cache and decided to take the other side back up to the car! Thanks for the hide.

Found it while out caching with friends. Having a really good time. The hint is a little revealing though, spoiling some of the hunt. TFTC
Quick find thanks which we need psychologically after having just had a DNF! Good spot and no muggles around at this time. TFTC
Was being watched by a muggle but "faked " being puffed as came up from bottom and he disappeared into a house pretty quickly. Quick sign replace and continued up hill and onto next cache.
Checked out log, yes damp, hence waterproof paper. Replaced log, did not have any more waterproof paper so will see how long it lasts in a bag.
Another great find while in the area with Just-Lookin.
Thanks for setting up this cache - having fun touring around.

On a short road trip with tmann421. Enjoyed the area collecting caches along the way.

Out and about with fellow geocachers. Nice easy find but couldn't sign logbook ad it was saturated. Took photo to prove we found it.
Found this one on a catch up morning, trying to clear out some of the local area caches.
Good camo but not really waterproof hide, so many entries in the log are very smeary.

#6628. Parked on Brookfield Street to explore a bit of Hamilton East on Queen’s Birthday public holiday. GZ was quiet when we visited. Quick find. The cache was in good condition. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.
Today happened to be a dot day. The clouds looking pretty ominous so a quick dash out to retrieve. Easy find thanks. Log sheet a bit damp.

Right by my friends house so collected this when I dropped her home. Great day out with muggle friend & geopup. Cute camo.TFTC
There was more than one likely landmark here - nice camo job & thanks for the cache.
New part of town, but no problem finding the nicely camoed cache. Thanks very much 11hpg11
Found between rain squalls. Cheers for getting me outta house on such a miserable day.
What goes downhill doesn’t necessarily go back up quickly, nicely camoed, many thanks for the hide.
Took a detour on the way back from the gardens and grabbed this little cache.

Originally sent to the wrong side, I realised the error of my ways and managed a quick grab while in the area. Thanks miss hpg! Cool little container
#270
The only find on a bicycle excursion a while back. It's taken me a while to log. This was a new alley for me. Thanks for the cache.

Killed two birds with one stone. A good walk and a dot day find. Luckily I went straight to it, as I'm not used to caching on my own - and I hadn't even read the hint! I then walked down and along to the park where there is a fig tree, but they need a few weeks yet, so back up the path, down to the bridge and home. Thanks for getting me out, my walking has been....well, hasn't been lately, but I'm back to it again.
Another adventure with Gap (of Fap and Gap). We set off from home with a half-baked plan to blitz some caches in Waihi, but quickly realised there was pie to be had in Hamilton... It's Pi Day today...
A quick find because Gap had been here before. This little beauty had a great coat of camouflage on it, but was head up when I spotted it. It is not broken... That's how it is. I replaced it flat side down; how I think it's supposed to sit. Good location... TFTC.

CB had the car and with the body still recovering from yesterday's mission, a bike ride wasn't really what I wanted to do, but needs must to keep the streak alive. A nice cruisey ride to GZ, and with the coast clear I made a easy find. Thanks for the hide.
Another easy find. SIL had fun killing a small wasp nest while I signed the log. TFTC
Wasn't as far down the hill as I thought it may have been. Almost a park and grab! Cheers!
617 I thought the title referred to me turning 60 but soon realized it was to do with the lie of the land.
#410. A new cache becoming the closest cache to the Northwood home.. we could not leave unfound for much longer.
Very familiar with this pathway. Pretty easy find.

A quick find after completing our first school drop off for the year. Someone was keen to take the stone but somehow I managed to talk him out of it! I didn't know this walkway existed so thanks for showing us something new. TFTC
Had a couple of spare hours today when I should really have been getting on with a long list of chores at home, but I also needed to visit check on some of my own hides in town that have had a few DNFs recently and, with some new placements, reckoned it would be a chance to grab a few more finds towards my latest target - hoping to reach 3000 finds this year - whilst I was nearby. Anything to avoid chores, really
It was raining again when I got here and if there's one good thing about caching in the rain, it's that it keeps the muggles at bay. No-one around to watch my antics so it was a nice quick find. Nice effort on the camo! Signed log & safely replaced; another little hidden spot I had no idea existed, TFTC
