This one has been muggled twice recently, possibly by our nemesis SmellyToes! We haven't the time or energy to play his little game and keep replacing caches so will archive this one. Rodney and Iris.
Called in and replaced the missing container on the way home tonight. Hopefully it will be there for a while. Rodney.

Out on a morning dog walk, decided to get the remaining closest caches to home. While keeping one eye on the smoke rising from Port Hills, my other eye located the cache. Good that I don't have exceptionally fat fingers
Thanks for the cache!

School holidays, week day, mid afternoon. A great time to find this cache. Minimal traffic. No pedestrians. Thanks for the hide.
Had to go to the metro waste station (rubbish dump) this morning so stopped by here to check out the cache. It was perfectly fine. There was absolutely nobody in the area at 8:45 this morning - must be holidays!! Rodney.
Wow, gotta love where you put this! Took me a while to spot it, but then it was totally awesome!
The travelling fox is impressed =O,O=

We had a trade me pick up in the eastern suburbs, so StreetWalker and I took the opportunity to find a cache or two in the area beforehand.
After a bit of groping, I missed the cache, but a "look" from SW revealed the hiding place. TFTC.

#13467. The cache was quickly spotted. I used a couple of twigs to extract it, as I was worried if I tried to use my fingers I would have just pushed it further in. TFTC.
Hideeho Thanks For The Cache:) Greetings from the USA. Stopped by for some cache, easy find with good hints. Found a dead hedge hog nearby.
Checked up on several dotty caches this morning. This one was just where it was supposed to be. A policeman driving by watched as I "tied my shoelaces" after replacing the container. Rodney.
#169. Just found my Great great grandparents grave in Bromley Cemetery - they died in 1931 so the headstone is quite old, but easily legible - and decided I'd better commemorate the visit with a cache, just outside the boundary. This one is best spotted from a distance, so after Mrs Winz's (GB Leader) 20/20 vision spotted it from afar, the cache was soon in hand. Tftc!
I've never been to this part of town before! Pretended to dust my shoe off while getting this cache as lots of people driving past
Out and about with tmann421 enjoying the sights and collecting some caches along the way.
A nice quick find for us here. TFTC

Easy find, but did have to wait for the muggle across the road to go back inside. Neat little spot.
Out doing some evening caching with Lunar4 so no issues with muggles. Nice quick find thanks to the clues. TFTC
Found this some time ago. it is very near my school. My Poppa is the cache owner. Thanks. Starza.
So many muggles - cyclists, walkers, some with dogs, motorists and a ginger cat! It was a while before we could get it after having spotted it then it took even longer to put it back unobserved.
Quite an easy find, once the GPS settled and we worked out which icon represented us. Returning the cache was much more of a mission. Suddenly the place became muggle central.
Thought I had better go get a cache for today with bling up for grabs. Bwen keeping this one for no reason other than lazy as it is so close to home. And another of the wee series. Cheers for the cache.
Finally a find for us tonight. Two caches DNF after searching and 2 caches we had to pass because of muggles parked or near GZ. This one initially gave some trouble as our GPS unit pointed meters away from final find. But a second look at most obvious location turned it up.
Spotted it quickly,but had a lot of trouble accessing it and had to get a suitable tool out of my kit to get it out. This took quite some time but got it in the end. Busy spot, but managed without anyone noticing. Tftc.

Time to go grab the cache of the day.
Had an errand to run in new brighton, and then it was back to town to pick mum up from work.
This cache was the closest along my route, so went for this one...
Can't believe we DNFed this before!!!! I blame the rain and wind that day. Made it hard to open our eyes... today I spotted it from the car, miles away! DUH!!!
Great to tick it off...
Consec caching day #1136

Only day of the year we hadn't found a cache. Now have the 366 done. Made up for it by finding 4.
Had to find a wee tool in the car to retrieve.

Our forth of the 20/20 series, despite the evening hunt still a large number of muggles in the area. Just a quick park and grab. TFTC
Had to exercise some stealth as muggles were gardening nearby. Thanks for the nice wee hide.
Drove by here this morning. Cache is exactly where the hint says it is! Visible from road and footpath from the right angle. Reachable from footpath. Rodney.
I'm down in Christchurch for a few days so trying to catch a few caches - even in this cold cold weather! Found this one today - TFTC
Not sure what was up with us this morning! Couldn't see anything where hint mentioned!
A quick find, very eerie with the wind in the blue gum yet sheltered at the cache site. TFTC
I think I tried this previously, when not really in the caching groove. We in a better frame of mind today and voila a find.
Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Out on a dotty maintenance mission this morning. Checked all six caches in the series. Replaced logsheets, pencils, containers etc. as necessary. Dotted the I's and crossed the T's!!! Rodney
We were over this side of the hill for the CITO tomorrow but when we got to my brothers he wasnt home so we decided to go out into the darkness and get some close-ish caches. GZ stumped us at first but then we quickly cottoned on. A handy extraction tool was found nearby. Thanks for the cache
Had to come into town to do some jobs today- so took a break from 'North of the Waimak' caches- and thought I'd grab a couple over this way. Fairly easy find- but tricky to extract- didn't have much gear with me, but managed to get it. Day 88- closing in on my target of 100 day streak. tftc
Quite a busy road here for a Saturday morning. Nice quick find for us with the mini cachers. Kids are great decoys, its never odd for a kid to just stand there and jump so i can sign a log book TFTC
Typical..Just as we approached GZ,along came a Rubbish Truck,then a bit of Traffic.God knows what we must have looked like lurking there.Once the way was clear it was a quick find and just as quickly put back.TFTH

After work was done for the day I had time to find a few caches before I had to head to my hotel for the night. Third one of this themed cache I found this evening. Didn't take tooo long to spot the cache but I though getting at it might be an issue but it wasn't. TFTC, Biggles.
Kept thinking today was the third - whoops - got that wrong. What was I meant to have done on the 3rd I wonder for me to be thinking that. Anyway found on way to meeting but pushed too far and had to resort to retrieving it between the cars driving by and a few walking muggles. Now I know where the ChCh Mail dump point is as well as there were lots to be found in the bushes. Thanks for the vision test once again Sallies - think mine is okay but some still call me 4 eyes.
I had the cat in the car and was on the way home from the vet. This took me a few minutes to find and I think the cat was wondering why it had been abandoned! Finally got there and drove home to the constant meowing. TFTC
Thought Good Friday would be a good day for this one give it's proximity. A bit of a challenge, but we got there in the end. Thanks for placing this cache.
This cache was #10 (of 14) I visited on today's cyclocache ride in the eastern part of the city. Nothing wrong with my eyesight today. Passed all 3 tests today. Thanks for eye workout Sallies. TFTC.
I was in the area (sort of) so I thought I'd just pop by and have a look for another 20/20 cache. No problem with this one, I think I'm getting the hang of them.
