Another hour spent visiting Jeremy to no avail.

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
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

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!

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
In town for a function, quick wander around today, log wet. Many Thanks for bringing us here. Cheers
Tiny!! Helped by a lovely lady who works in the area and enjoys watching people look for this one!
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!
Yeah I was just looking in the wrong place for the first 10 minutes. Got there in the end. TFTC
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.
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
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.
My fingers were too fat so had to leave and find a tool which did the job nicely. TFTC
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
Found this one at the second attempt. Was pretty close the first time but gave up. Found relatively quickly this avo.
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.

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.

Very sneaky and pleased to find it. Lucky fairly quiet here today Glad I got it back safe TFTC
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
Found this one a little damp with muggle friends on a business trip . Thanks for the placement
Rainy day... Reading log with bloody fing, it was clear immediately...

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.
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.
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
Helen was Hoping for success on last cache for the night...but it was not to be ....
Found on second visit and after reading previous logs. Just where you might expect it to be, but tricky to get to! Great Murals. Tftc MattyHTassie
What a sneaky little hide. It truth it was harder to put back than get out. Thanks!
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
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!!
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
This tradi could easiliy found by me and Mother&Son. Many greetings from Germany and TFTC
Felt and felt for this but it was my eyes that finally spotted this well hidden gem. Thanks kiwis69 for a sneaky hide.
Got a good lock on the GPS...still took a few minutes to get out...nasty hide...happy to put a smiling face on this ...thanks Kiwi69... Well placedcache
Tftc we were so close to giving up. As we were leaving we noticed what the H was Hahahaha.
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
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.

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
Not possible to log because for 10minutes there was car after car driving through here?!? Gave up ...
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
Thought we'd grab a close by cache

Down for the day at a Conference at the Atrium. Do I have time to find one cache before I leave? yep
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.

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.
Thanks to all the owners and greetings from the Moorhelmis from Germany

Nice artwork - and we replaced the log sheet for you; thanks for the cache kiwis69.
Managed to find a sneaky park around the corner and just hung our til the muggle parked right by gz left. No problems here, thanks
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!

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?

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
Beautiful morning in Hamilton. Found on way to ANZSA conference. Great artwork nearby! Tftc
The art work is great
Thanks for pointing it out !!
But the cache ...
... remained elusive !!
I did search one very likely spot,
but found nothing
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

On a mission today to find 120 + as a team of 4. All logs signed Naki 4
Team is Blenheim Bear Thatsneat Tmninjaturtle and 2 Bulbars.
It was a fun filled day finding many sorts of different caches and visiting many interesting places.
Many thanks to all who placed these caches to help make it such an enjoyable day
Found this with the team "Naki 4" (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, TMNinjaTurtle and myself) on our mission from Huntly to Hamilton on our hunt to 120. Was a long day but pleased to have it completed! Thank you for the cache.
Found this cache during the Naki 4 team (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtle and That’s Neat) run on the 120 caches in one day on the 3rd Oct. Many thanks Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. TFTC! Blenheim Bear

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
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.
Three of us had a pretty decent look around and didn't find it. I guess it could be virtually anywhere though...
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
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
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
