LOKKY's chip in the glade (west auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By lokky1 on 22-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5N6Q0

About to give up after searching for around 20 minute's when someone was a little odd . It was the cache. Hurray! Gets a favorite point from me. Tftc

Forgot to say log book full

TFTC - we actually chanced on this by luck as our gps kepts jumping back and forwards between trees! Mr 8 thrilled to know one was on his school field all along!!

Also didn't sign as log full and no wriggle room lol

Tftc. So well disguised. Found after looking at all previous comments. It's definitely close to the clue, you just have to find the right one.Needs new paper

Logbook is full

Didnt find it - so hard. No idea. Looked for close to an hour

Tricky hide but found it thanks to our eagle eyed 7 year old!

Eventually found it despite dodgy GPS on my phone!

#75 yup like others we looked around all the Pine trees before finding sucess. We picked it up and put it down a few times but we got there. Great disguise TFTC

This one was really cleverly constructed! I found it not too long after arriving at GZ, but it's the sort of thing that only stuck out because I was looking for it. It blends in perfectly and is all nice and dry inside and in a lovely foresty spot.Thank you for making it and placing it here!(#1985)

Out for another westie walk following way too much food, cake and home brew with my hosts

Saw something suspicious, picked it up, no cache behind it, put it down again. Read the name of the cache and picked it up again.
Signed the log before I slowly slid down the bank.

Great little hide. My son found it quickly.

Very sneaky... make sure you double check everything you touch. Hehe. But seriously was so impressed when I found it, had to go through the activity Log for more clues. Great cach. Thanks so much!

Almost went barking mad looking at the wrong tree. Lucky there are only 3 to pick from. Great find

Geez. Max effort looking around the wrong tree. Haha. Great camo. Well done.

Awesome hide, GPS had us at the wrong area but expanding the search soon was in our hands.

Looked at every other tree but this one, even when we found the right tree nearly didn't find it it was well hidden

Found after a bit of searching back and forth, found in the end! Great hide. TFTC

Brilliant!
Love your work..
A favourite.....

Small pine in a big pine. Thanks for the cache.

Met up with TheWonderStuff this morning to go caching out West and add a few more gemstones to our collections and try and unlock the vault. There was a young muggle with his two dogs who were very friendly and wanted to help search. Once they had moved on we searched for the cache. After failing to find it we extended our search and I soon had my hand on something which turned out to contain the cache.

Out finding a few caches today - Good fun. Good location for a cache.

TFTC

We parked in a familiar spot in Kawaka St having found a previous cache here some years ago. This afternoon we explored a bit further into the park making our way to GZ. The GPS pointed to the most likely candidate of the hint items, and one of us soon spotted the hide. Thanks.

Always tricky after previous DNF here. Located tree mentioned by the hint but soon realized there are 3 of them! And only one has it! Well done! Great camo and does the job!
TFTC

Came away from this one feeling cross-eyed from trying to eyeball so many places where a cache might be tucked away. Decided I will need to put my reading glasses into the caching tool kit. Had a pretty good idea what I was looking for but after 15 minutes decided my clumsy attempt had been too long already and I would need to come back another day. Very tricky.

Searched and searched as the light eased for the evening but since wed given it a good search already we were determined to succeed... something was a little out of place then there it was! tftc

We were surprised that the track opened up to this area, wasn’t expecting that. Had to do an extensive and methodical search for this one - took around 20mins. Read a few logs for guidance and eventually we were rewarded with the find - just in time too as the light was fading. Thanks for this one Lokky!

Beautiful place to come for a walk, UGNZ actually found this cache before realising that she had and then once a few other places had been searched we checked the title and went back to the original place. Bingo, there it is. TFTC

Found with Team Welsh, I do not know how many times I picked up and put down this cache without realising. clever hide.

I made a total hash of the search for this. GPS had me spinning around a bit but I found a likely spot which was a bit further away from the track than 3m and had a look, nope so expanded my search area. After 15 mins I returned to where I started and sat down and read some logs to see if I could glean some information. Sure that I was searching the right spot, I had another look.... duh, how could I have missed that! The cache was cleverly hidden in the very first spot I looked at!! FP for the tricky hide

Came past here Saturday afternoon, nice quick find before heading off to the next cache, TFTC

We searched for 45min but couldn't find it.
Nice park tho.
T+J, Germany

Took a bit of searching and had to expand the search from the gz but we found it

I parked on Kawaka St and entered the reserve. I was going to head to the first Smile cache first, but a loose dog "encouraged" me to head to this cache first. Wow what a nice glade! I spent a while looking around the tree that GPS was indicating but couldn't find it. Decided to branch out, when a couple and dog came into the glade, so I left and headed off to find the two smile caches.
After the couple passed me at the second smile, I decided to head back to the glade and expanded my search. Eventually I found the nicely hidden cache - woohoo! I think that the coordinates are a little off, but close enough if cachers expand out. TFTC

Like others i nearly gave up until a light went off in my head, a quick scavenge and found what i was after. Nice hude. TFTC

Brutal mimicry!!

Geocchi and I were ready to give up on this one after checking areas 3 meters from path. We then moved to a hint item about 8mts from path and found the tricky little begger. A good hide thanks Lokky.

Hard to find ...awesome camo job.. tftc

over looked cache then thought i found it alas no joy, then a few mins later spotted and realised i had hands on before, nice one tftc

Teamed up this morning with yorkshirekiwi83 to find a few caches around the Titirangi area. Parked on Kawaka Street and took a walk around the reserve to find the 3 caches in here. Took a bit of hunting to find this, but once we were at the correct tree it was soon found. Nice camo job - fav point added! TFTC

Vistra and I had a couple of hours to spare so decided to head this way for a couple of caches this monring. Reading others logs we realised the cache wasnt at the coords (was about 15m out), checked out other hint items and soon had the cache in hand in good camo.

Well done on the camo for this one! I almost missed it. I thought I had the spot found, removed some cover to find an empty hole. It was only by chance that I looked down and discovered the cache staring right back at me. Very nice...TFTC!

My GPS was a little out on this one so it took a bit of a search to find. Clever hide. TFTC!

Having a family picnic here after discovering the park. Thx Lokky

Found while having a family picnic and game of cricket at the park. Nebulenz and KatMidd were on hand to advise when our GPS was off.

When at GZ, I spotted the camo straight away as it seemed out of place, but did not spot the cache. My eagle-eyed neice found it though! Well done

TFTC!

Tricky hide with an adorable cache. I looked at this place once, then moved around to many other places before I came back and made the find. TFTC.

#432 Out with GeoKids and GeoDog today. GeoKids did a circuit of the fitness course while GeoDad hunted down cache. Quick find and sign.
TFTC

After finding Smile #1 and 2, This was close by so why not grab one more before heading home. Jumped in the car drove around to where I thought the best access would be, only to realize I was just here. A short trek across the bush towards the pipe, and the correct walking track, GZ was soon in sight. A quick search around the possible suspects, soon revealed the cache. No muggles around on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Found today with nebulenz. After searching the wrong pine the other day. Nice camo, tftc.

Tftc. Almost didnt find it, great camo!! Was a nice day out with katmidd

Great little park and walk to get there. Nice camo Andy. Cheers ..V

I actually picked up the hide and put it down again - we then moved on to look somewhere else and of course had no success so I returned to look more carefully and voila Great hide. T4tc

Triky camo tftc

Got the right tree this time . Not sure of the track referred to in the description. Great hide, very clever, a favourite!

After finding a couple of smiles earlier decided this would be my last of the day and having read through the logs on the way here knew that it was probably going to take a bit of looking.

No one around though which was good, and after aligning the GPS with some of the previous logs and keeping myself out of sight as much as possible the cache was in hand before too long. Nicely done here - TFTC

3 adults couldn't do it but the 6yo pulled through. Awesome hide!!

Almost gave up when mr 6 randomly stumbled across it!!

No find for me here.

Out caching with rustynz TFTC

Encouraged mr rebel98 out for a cache, decided more eyes might be needed for this sneaky hide. On arrival at GZ, lots of potential areas to hide a cache. Not many of the most obvious, so then went to plan B and increased the search area and the cache was found! yahoo, come over here mr rebel98 this is sneaky

Took me a few choices of Pines to look at but there it was! Very nice hide there Mr Lokky!!

Had a good hunt around but gps was playing up, will be back

Very sneaky. Good use of a drill

Awsome cache ,very well concealed.took about 15 min.tftc

No luck tonight, not sure which tree is the right one. Will retry during the day

Got to GZ and decided the coordinates were wrong so looked for another and then another. Clever hide but findable when you have some idea what it could look like.

I didnt find this one the other day but couldnt let it defeat me so came back tonight and searched further afield. Finally found it about 8m away from where my GPS was pointing. Wow... this one was certainly well hidden.

I once had a cache about 10m from here, but the kids kept finding it. Think this one may have more luck.

TFTC

Alot of people playing at the nearby field so extra stealth required. Nicely done TFTC

People nearby were no problem but the tricky hide could have been, however, as luck would have it ,things just fell our way on this occasion. Tftc

Was out with Ric getting these 3 newish Kaurilands hides ! Thanks Lokky for bringing us here ...
This particular one was really outstanding ! Great camo Lokky !
I can see I'll have to up my game !

I must have just missed flax 4 when I first came to this one! The log was entered as I was walking down the path! Got within 25 metres and could see kids walking towards the field and decided to leave it til after school rather than lurking in the bushes! Found more by luck I think! What I thought was Camo happened to land on the ground in the most fortunate way and I saw it! This is the second time I have broken my pen to use the spring as a log removal tool for one of your caches! I need to buy tweezers! Tftc

Got back to my car after finding a nearby cache only to realise I had to turn around and head back in that direction. When I got to GZ there was a soccer program going on but the kids soon left, I quickly scrambled around wondering how I was ever going to find a "micro" in the bush! Yay, Another FTF for me this morning, I couldn't believe my luck. A Very cool one too! Thanks for bringing me to this lovely Glade, I never knew was here. FTF #6
