Searching In Sackville Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By supernannny on 25-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5ND2H

Archiving this one....has been there for a while ; but has disappeared several times
Plenty of other caches for me to maintain.
Thanks BFG for letting mr know it has gone .

Found a good tree matching the maintenance log but no cache despite ransacking it, and a general search.

Found!!

Christmas day find

Hidden well for the next person to find!

3 barnacles

Thanks

Yay, another fun find. Thanks Supernanny. It’s been great walking around the old neighbourhood!

Fun find

Yay

Was nearby today, so took advantage of the nice weather to sit and eat lunch on the nearby bench.

Didn’t take long for the weather to come in…but fortunately this time I found the cache quickly and without issue!

Thanks for the replacement!

Trying to be discreet while a family was playing. Luckily they didn’t seem interested in me fossicking around beneath the trees. Eventually found the right tree. Tftc

Wow... That was a quick find and log on my second visit...

Thank you for the cache

My 1537. Smiley on the map

Last cache of the day as I've got a couple of errands to run before I head home and the clouds are gathering ominously. Managed to find a parking spot real close by and squelched my way to GZ. After checking a couple of options I could see the shine of the white lid so, after extracting and signing, I replaced a little better and re-added the hinted at camo. T F T C supernannny, FP here for the landmark 100th cache of yours for me. Still a few more out there to find too!

Although todays weather forecast was for a wet and wild stormy day with showers and strong winds, It looked like the morning would be OK, and I hoped that people would be put off from going outdoors. And so it was, nice and quiet out and about on the trails. I had a few plans and target caches, and hoped to get my supernannny finds by CO up to treble, mission was possible. A bit muddy and slippery underfoot, hope those water dams are full now! and I managed to face-plant (my phone) in the mud at one GZ!! A bakers dozen of finds and managed to beat the rain- yay. Thanks to all COs for their caches.

Took me a lot longer than necessary because it was dark but found it eventually. Thanks

After having a look around I took a seat and read the maintenance log. Easy find once started searching again. TFTC

Placed a double pill bottle with camo tape here just now.
Tucked in base of tree by junction of 2 roots.Covered with leaves...please do the same .
Fairly close to table and seat set.
Co ords tricky under trees.
All good to go...

We searched all root and trees in the area but couldn't find it

Will check this coming week.

We looked at the previous photos and Identified the tree and likely spots, but it was barren.

Sent a message to the CO about it.

Maybe the cache has been “misplaced”, but it may also be missingz

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Clue made it very easy

Lovely cache, TFTC

Found, thanks so much

Found thank you

We found it GG

A quick find on our walk around the area today.We made sure we made use of the park too and enjoyed going on the swings.

??

Our first geocache in our life!!!

Easy find!!

Yay

After a nice brunch nearby, wandered here to drop TB while Mrs Wilby browsed some shops.
Visiting from Dunedin. Tftc

Yay after a little bit of searching we found it!!! + a trackable Yayyy! PHOTO CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

Shit no pencils couldn’t log on the paper

Fun

Nice easy find as was a bit exposed...
Covered again with natural camo...

GPS was slightly off but found it

Found it

Our first find. Bit tricky but loved the spot. Everything a little wet so tried to dry out.

Was under the first tree but was still picked up fast

This is indeed a sweet little reserve, Auckland in miniature. Thanks for bringing us here. Our Airbnb is very nearby. This was one of 25 caches we found on an 18k walk in Auckland today. We're over from UK and thank all COs for their work in places these caches for our enjoyment.

Not the small leaning tree after all!! But still quickly found. TFTC

Lovely wee park. Spiffy new playground. Wheeee! Tftc

Found with Abby

Nicely hidden at a great little park.
All ok
Thanks

Very very close to giving up on this one, but found it at last! It's more accurate to say covered by leaves, rather than bark. TFTC.

Great cache, thank you

Lots of trees and lots of roots. Riser5 found it in the end. Logged as R18.

Took a bit more time.....lucky park was empty

Another nice park in this area. Only a nana and grandchild present playing on a swing. They weren't interested in what I was doing so no problems searching. Cache was a bit exposed so covered it over a bit more.TFTC

A nice little park to visit thanks Supernanny for the placement and giving us a reason to search it out. Cache all good.

Today has had several easy caches and a few that took a long time. This one took a long time. The park was deserted save for a sunbather on the swing. She gave us some attention but didn't really seem that interested in what we were doing. We tried lots of different places and were about to leave when I checked one last spot. Got it! Thanks!

Was a bit over tree caches by the time we got to this one, and was wary of it being lunch time (was getting a bit hangry!) and the muggle on the swing. Thought we might have to call it a day, when michaelteacher checked one last spot which turned out to be where the cache was, luckily. And we were able to head out the park from under the trees without going past the playground where more muggles showed up. streak's still going strong and map has more smilies around the area now, so has been a pretty good morning tftc!

Dan and Cotè say thanks!

Tftc! Lovely park!

next Time!

Nice quick find with mikefnz and brandon97 tftc

Nice easy find with Mikefnz & Darkangel10151. Tftc

Out on an evening geocaching hunt with brand0n97 and darkangel. 12th find of the night, I got my hand on this one while the other two were frantically searching, decided to sit down and begin signing.

Well done boys. First exchange

CPTT found it

When arrived here I was on my own in the area. Then got bamboozled , rooted, barked, planted and overgrown Will try next time!

Second to find! We didn't have a pen so we took a photo.

This was a really cool cache. The new playground looks great! I was really stumped with this one! On the way out I actually found an old cache that supernannny put out! WHAT ARE THE ODDS????????????????????? TFTC!!

The new version of the little playground is all finished now ...fences gone!
New cache full of tiny toys to swap....

Have put new cache in a new place.
Same co ords....under a root this time .
Lovely playground for under five !
Plus barbecue....and book swap over the road !
Good to go...
Please re cover with bark...there is heaps of it...

Wow....I heard they are putting in new play equipment!

Oh no!
Was just driving past when I saw tall fences all around the reserve!
Some kind of maintenance appears to be underway!
Best not to go there for now.
Will let you know when it is good to go again...
Cheers!

Up in Auckland for work, but I managed to get away and find a few caches at night thanks to my geokid who lives up north equipped with a waka. Our main destination was an ice cream place, but why not check out the neighbourhood and find a few while we were in the area TFTC!!

I was notified today by Sherlock the Puppy that my cache here is another storm victim!
The big gnarly tree has been uprooted and is now nearly horizontal!.
Went there after work to check...the cache (a tube ) is now to be found tucked into base of a nearby tree....the co ords are still fine.
Will change description and hint when I can get to a computer...
Thanks Sherlock!

I came to find this cache today after the recent spell of really heavy rain and stormy weather. When I arrived at GZ on foot, I had to wait a while for a couple of muggles to clear out of the area, and once they had gone I proceeded to GZ on foot. I soon realised that the space in which the cache was hidden had collapsed in the storm... and so the cache was actually lying on the ground. So I have signed the log but placed the cache at the base of the nearest tree to GZ. It is nice and safe but shouldn't be too hard to find. So thank you once again supernannny for taking time to set up not just this cache but all of your caches. As always, I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC

Took a little bit of a round about way to this one and when I finally arrived at GZ noticed a digger driver within 10 metres of the GZ. Fortunately the cache is in the one tree that had enough cover to not be noticed and was able to grab the last on a very successful day. All good here, TFTC.

Last time I was looking for this one, there was a muggle having picnic just beside GZ. Today the park was empty, except for a dog owner who was looking for a ball he had thrown away.
However, he did not look in my direction, when I searched GZ and soon found the cache.

Now in gene with no camp tape attached. Defo need mozi spray

Mosquito Central!!

I had finished work for the day and decided to go and grab a cache just down the road from me, but there were too many muggles about. Fortunately this park was, as you said, very much empty so I managed to grab the cache nice and quick. Signed and replaced. It is all in good condition. Thank you for the cache, and bringing me to this lovely little park I would not have stopped at if it wasn't for the cache. #764

My first geocaching find, good fun. Good location as well

It was easy to find. I was there with my little sleeping girl.

Out with Merlot58 to find a few caches while the rain held out. I had visited the park after work but there was a muggle family with their dog and I couldn't really search. Decided to visit today hoping the impending rain would keep away the muggles (it sure had!). Arrived at GZ and after a quick glance around I spotted something out of the corner of my eye and soon had the cache in hand.

I've been meaning to tick this one off my list for a while, but only got round to it today when I was in the area. It was a nice easy find. Didn't have a lot of leaf litter, so I recovered it better. Cool little book exchange too. TFTC

I didn't have a pen, so I took a photo of the log instead.

A nice little park that you could easily drive past and not know it was here.
The number of empty bottles at GZ suggested there had been quite a party here recently but fortunately there was no one around today.
Nice hiding spot, thanks Supernanny for introducing us to another hidden park.

I have finished work for the year so have today off on leave. Decided some caching out this way was in order. A neat gnarly hide here, thanks supernanny

Cool hiding place!

Ttfc

After passing my company's mandatory exam during the day, I had to get out and see sun before it sets. Nobody around made for a quick and easy find. TFTC

Found with my five-year-old brother and sister what a joy so existed fun find

After a couple of DNFs very pleased to make a quick find here, with Okayness. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Second cache of the day on Sir Henry's self-led walk. Cool wee park. Tftc!
