Another hour spent visiting Jeremy to no avail.
It seems to be an annual tradition .....at least free parking on a Sunday!
 
20-Oct-19
OMGoodness!
Found it ....
So very happy.
I'm sure I looked here!
Been here many times over the years....
Persistence rewarded...plus not freaking out about traffic wardens!
Favourite Point!
 
14-Oct-19
Tricky find but eventually we did it! Tftc!
 
04-Oct-19
I had a day off from playing Bridge today to go caching instead.
I stopped off here for a quickish find.
Someone up above me probably wondered what I was doing but I kept my back to her shielding her from the hide.

Greetings from Tauranga. Very wet forecast today here so we thought we'd try Hamilton instead... and it was a good plan as the sunshine outweighed the few short showers in Hamilton and it did pour down all day in Tauranga. Always interesting to explore new areas. Admired the art too, it looks great. Had to smile as previously mentioned local lady also came out to be helpful when she saw us looking, but luckily we had already found the cache. Log appears full - we squeezed a small mark in a shared space. TFTC
 
28-Sep-19
Out for a walk this morning before playing some bridge at our annual congress which has been held in Hamilton the first week of the school holidays for the last 19 years.
Enjoy this city and exploring previous not visited places to find some more caches

Quickly found TFTC and bringing me here
 
16-Sep-19
I spent today down in Hamilton caching with nufrat. We made a quick stop to get this one, too. This was a nemesis cache for me since I couldn't find it on a previous visit (or two). A little birdie watched me search helplessly for a few minutes before she put me out of my misery and got me in the general location. TFTC.

======== NZ Mega 2020 ========

Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

20 years of geocaching worldwide.
20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of this event - you won't want to miss it!

Surprisingly quiet here today, nicely hidden...TFTC
 
19-Aug-19
While tackling the street art multicache, I was able to add this cache in while passing nearby. A great little hide but just a bit too damp to be able to write on the log.Tftc
 
09-Jul-19

together with Davy I found this litlle cache
 
22-Jun-19
In town for a function, quick wander around today, log wet. Many Thanks for bringing us here. Cheers
 
19-Jun-19
Tiny!! Helped by a lovely lady who works in the area and enjoys watching people look for this one!
 
16-Jun-19
Second attempt at this geocache like many others.... first time I came here I was on my own and put off by the many cars that drive down here despite being at night time! I wonder what they all think we are up to.... second time I had help with me so we both searched and ignored the traffic going past, and finally managed to make the find. Log book is veeryy wet, I didn't even want to unravel it as it seemed like it was going to fall apart. Have photo of log and cache for proof if needed! Thanks for the cache!
 
04-Jun-19
Uploading photo as couldn't open it - 3rd or 4th visit

16-Apr-19
Yeah I was just looking in the wrong place for the first 10 minutes. Got there in the end. TFTC
 
16-Mar-19
Spent ages looking and unfortunately this one has us stumped.
 
11-Mar-19
Didn't think I was going to find it, but then saw it
 
29-Jan-19
My second attempt at this one, and this time I was successful in finding and removal of the cache. No one around early this morning. Log is full and will need replacing.
 
28-Jan-19
Public holiday perfect for caches like this. Took us quite a while and gps had me everywhere so I went purely on where it looked like it was on the map. And after a bit of poking around- AHA here it is. Took a bit of winkling to get it but we managed. Giving it a fav for the challenging experience. Thanks
 
28-Jan-19
Have tried before for this one with no luck but today warfi made the find. Good to cross it off the list. Thanks for the fun.
 
23-Nov-18
HaHA, found it but was not able to get it out
 
08-Nov-18
My fingers were too fat so had to leave and find a tool which did the job nicely. TFTC
 
30-Oct-18
Visiting Hamilton for a few days and keeping up with my daily finds. A nice wee nano in a logical spot, all safe and dry here. TFTC
 
21-Oct-18
Found this one at the second attempt. Was pretty close the first time but gave up. Found relatively quickly this avo.
 
14-Oct-18
Took a couple of days to get a park and a time when there was minimal people around. Finally in a Sunday afternoon it was our time to strike. Had a quick look at the likely spot and once we checked there was no other places it could be we begun our search. Cache was quickly spotted and thanks to little miss 4yrs and her tiny fingers we were able to make the grab.

She was impressed with this cache as it was the first like this she has seen.

Great spot and cache all in good condition.
 
26-Sep-18
Made a couple of passes for this one, a fairly steedy streem of younger muggles seemed intent on walking down this lane.

Walked away came back 30 minutes later to find the same zero point and the same popularity.

Tricky situation.

Got a break and quickly found the cache taking cognisance of the hint, then moved back to the main street to log the find. Had to lottier a while before we could return it to ground zero.
 
25-Aug-18
Very sneaky and pleased to find it. Lucky fairly quiet here today Glad I got it back safe TFTC
 
10-Aug-18
This was a bit tricky, but at least it is quiet here early evening so I could have a good look around without being muggled. TFTC
 
27-Jul-18
Found this one a little damp with muggle friends on a business trip . Thanks for the placement
 
15-Jul-18

07-Jun-18
That was a bit of a mission! Was muggled out last time I attempted this but I was fairly certain where it was and a previous finder confirmed this. Today I sneaked off to grab the cache and found it pretty quickly but had a hell of a job extracting it. It cost a bit of blood but eventually got it out and signed the log. TFTC.
 
24-Apr-18
Had a poke around in what seemed like the most likely spot then had to dive for cover when rain started bucketing down. When I went back a woman came out of a nearby door and said, "It's there. Another lady found it last week." She'd seen me from her window! Eased it out carefully and signed the tiny log, then eased it back in. Tftc.
 
06-Apr-18
Found after having to make a trip into the town centre.
 
30-Mar-18
Great visit up here, after dinner walk grabbing some caches I didnt managed to get last time we were here, thanks for the placement, much easier doing these at night when its muggle free

We've searched everywhere but not found . There were a lot of muggel.

03-Jan-18
What a sneaky little hide. It truth it was harder to put back than get out. Thanks!
 
03-Jan-18
There are a few red Herrings here (haha with a capital 'H')! Once we located the one where the coordinates are, we quickly located the cache when we checked all the little nooks. Tftc Smile
 
01-Jan-18
Found this after re-visiting coords, a wider search of the area and viewing the H from the right angle resulted in a find. Happy New Year!!
 
29-Dec-17
TFTC found this evening. Pen decided to die on knee so tried to press as hard a possible to make the signature legible. Have photo evidence of log if CO wants. Lovely murals here too

Nice hide. Not really a night cache. Coordinates are spot on. TFTC
 
16-Sep-17
A previous DNF for me, so I was very pleased to have success today. I was there with a couple of young muggle friends and one of them found it. TFTC Smile
 
15-Sep-17
After a couple of half-hearted looks for this in the past few months, we decided to get more serious, as we are near this spot several times a week now.

With a need to wait in this alley in the evening on two occasions this week, waiting to pick up a passenger, some more time was available, and a good excuse was available for loitering.

Well, the dodgy loitering paid off, and after scratching around in a number of spots, the little beast was in hand.

Thanks for drawing us to another great Jeremy.
 
05-Sep-17
What a great hide and painting too. Lots of muggles around so made it look like I was photographing the paintings while working out "Where would I hide a GC here?" Once I had that sorted was able to grab the cache almost as I walked past, went around the corner to sit and sign before retracing for a quick drop off. TFTC
 
21-Aug-17
here before 8am but not a find for me this morning
 
26-Jul-17
Not possible to log because for 10minutes there was car after car driving through here?!? Gave up ...
 
08-Jul-17
Found early morning so no one around.
 
30-Jun-17
Out for a very early morning walk in the fog. Introduced my muggle colleague to geocaching. She had lots of fun trying to find this nano by torch light. TFTC

#293. Ih the Tron on business. Used to frequent this alley way too much back in the day when there was a snooker parlour where the parking building is now. All quiet this am for a quick locate with no subterfuge required. GC has screw top missing. Tftc.

Muggle hubby and I are on a Seeka Growers Organic Road Trip

TFTC
 
28-Feb-17
Down for the day at a Conference at the Atrium. Do I have time to find one cache before I leave? yep Big Grin

The GPS bounced. Missed it on the first pass, then wandered back, and this time had the little beasty in my hand. Used a tool to extract the log, all signed and returned to its hiding place. Thanks for the cache, got to admire the artwork too.
 
13-Feb-17
We visit Hamilton and the surrounding area. Especially the garden we liked very much. It was a very nice walk and we were able to collect many impressions. Here we could also find and log some caches. Cool
Thanks to all the owners and greetings from the Moorhelmis from Germany
 
05-Feb-17
Nice artwork - and we replaced the log sheet for you; thanks for the cache kiwis69.

Found! 27Dec16 @ 7.05pm; Find #127

I was actually trying to find two other caches when this one popped up on my GPSr radar. Like a previous logger, I rarely do nano caches, because I'm still relatively new to geocaching and haven't quite honed my skills yet. That's why I had focused on the other two (quite larger) caches local to Hamilton.

It's kind of funny when you can't find two medium size caches at all, but because you are now in the hunting mood, you decide to try for the teensy nano (what have I got to lose?) and end up findingit.

The world works in weird and mysterious ways. And apparently so does caching.

I'm extremely glad that I tried for this cache. The artwork is beautiful. I do love a well done piece of graffiti. Makes me want to research the artist a bit more. Many, many thanks for placing this cache here so I could find it on my touristy travels around New Zealand! Smile
 
23-Dec-16
Found reasonable quickly. Stealth required. TFTC
 
22-Dec-16
I rarely go nano hunting, but the GeoWife wanted to do some souvenir hunting - so what's a guy to do?

Thought there was a very likely spot for this, but after a thorough but incognito search, came up empty. Had a look at the artwork, and walked back. Hey, what's this in the gutter? How about that - it had somehow missed the drain but been washed some metres.

Put where I thought it should go, but not really a d3 spot - maybe the CO might need to find my hide and fix?
 
22-Dec-16
Sneaky
 
24-Nov-16
Found by Mrs during a break from the Conference she was attending. A quick find as she spotted the cache when walking to GZ, after some fiddling retrieved and signed the log with no muggles noticing. Thanks for the Cache
 
16-Nov-16
Beautiful morning in Hamilton. Found on way to ANZSA conference. Great artwork nearby! Tftc
 
19-Oct-16
Lots of people wandering to and from the gym.
The log book is full.
TFTC
 
14-Oct-16
The art work is great Smile
Thanks for pointing it out !!
But the cache ...
... remained elusive !!

I did search one very likely spot,
but found nothing Sad
The muggle count got too high after that,
as lunchtime came to an end.

PS: In Spanish 'J' is pronounced as 'H',
so maybe the cache name does make sense Smile

LOve the art
On a mission today to find 120 + as a team of 4. All logs signed Naki 4

19-Jul-16
Keeping my mini-streak alive. Sneaky wee hide. Cheers!
 
22-Jun-16
After reading the last 2 logs I expected the cache to be missing, but fortunately it was still in place. A nice quick find. TFTC Smile
 
08-May-16
Having a quick skive off work between two meetings in Hamilton but the clock ran out and I had to duck out before I could complete all the options. Will try again next trip to town.
 
01-May-16
Three of us had a pretty decent look around and didn't find it. I guess it could be virtually anywhere though...
 
30-Apr-16
Love the nano cache, great location, had to wait till muggles left zone before we could make a search, but that did give us time to think about where might be a likely hide
 
04-Apr-16
A busy area found a gap and went for it liked the art work TFTC
 
02-Apr-16
First road trip for a while and making my way North. Enjoying a variety of caches all adding to the enjoyment of this trip. A quick find here. TFTC
 
02-Apr-16
Between showers and with no muggles we circled the cache site slowly narrowing our search until we were taken to the only possible place...and there sure enough, hiding safe and sound was a wee cache well done thanks kiwis69
