Devils Elbow (Hawkes Bay) Tutira, North Island, New Zealand
By nickhbnz on 18-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5RRM5

Stopped in a safe spot and dodged traffic to GZ. Cunning little cache. Not the usual for this type of cache hide.

Thanks nickhbnz. Better enable this one. It is there.

gone again.

Off to Gisborne for my first trip for 2017. Weather is atrocious and it looks like it's going to rain all the way to Poverty Bay.

Not much time for caching today as the weather is going to slow me down a bit. I have stopped here a couple of times in the past with no luck and when I was checking possible caches to stop for on this trip I noted that the CO had recently replaced it.

Pulled off the highway and wouldn't you know it a line of traffic in both directions appeared - all of which must have thought I was in some kind of trouble. Quick find here in the drizzle and I'm back in my way. TFTC

A fine corner and cache! TFTC

Nice easy find brand new log book to sign too tftf

Cache replaced, and moved slightly.

Nice and easy one; lovely drive to get there, must be gorgeous on a fine day.

I had been here twice before and found nothing but today LhutiNe and I had only to on site for 5 seconds before I found it.

The top of the container is missing whilst the bottom is a little bent out shape.

Cheers for the cache.

Another Quick find while traveling. Beware cache is only in half of its cache. Other half nowhere to be found. However cache sits protected from all elements of the weather where found. Tftc.

A quick easy find, but as Sandokan4 said, the lid is missing. The log was still usable, although starting to disintegrate. TFTC

Nothing here

I found it destroyed and without a lid on the ground.

CZECH
tušil jsem, jaká keška to bude, ale vyzkoušel jsem všechny klasické skrýše a nikde nic... až potom jsem ji objevil na zemi zničenou a bez víčka

Nope. Not that I could see.

quite dangerous dad!

My second dnf in a row... This time im not the only one.. cheers from casa del hince TFTC

My grand-daughter had two goes at trying to find this one but all to no avail.

Big weekend moving house from tokoroa to wairoa. Thought we would find some caches on way back to tokoroa.
Found this one easy

An easy find and our last find for the day

Motor biking from Christchurch to Auckland and finding some caches on the way.

Heading back to Auckland and picking up caches along the way.

A quick find - albeit in a tricky spot!

#5311

Replaced this cache which had surprisingly gone missing again.

possibly missing again.

We gave up the search when we saw all the recent DNFs.

We didn't find this one.

Logged it with DroidCachebox!

We visited this cache during our trip through out New Zealand!
With our rental car, we explored the north island for 12 days.
NZ is a beautiful country and we really enjoyed our time here.
We hope to return one day and explore a little bit more!

Day 4 - Napier to Gisborne

The day started in Napier, where we explored a little bit of the city and looked for some caches. After that we visited many places along the route to Gisborne, like the Te Ana falls or the Mahia peninsula, and many more.

This one we didn't find .

Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

Gave this one a go, yet again (like my 5th time) with no luck.. Not sure if I am just not finding it or if it seem to go missing every time I try look!

Can't find had a look around everywhere where it says

Second DNF for us on this one.
Thanks.

Another find on the great north summer roadtrip with the Banians- a week of travel from Wellington to Auckland via Napier, Wairoa, that secluded road between Wairoa and Rotorua, and almost the Coromandel peninsula.

Devil's corner- devilish cache. Found it after a few vehicles passed by and we re-checked a spot twice searched. TFTC

Found on our road trip from Wellington to Auckland for a wedding. Day four, Napier to Wairoa via Mahia Peninsula.
Arrived to find another car parked at GZ, they left after a few minutes. Took a while to find cache (next time I will take note of the cache size, I was looking for something bigger), with interruptions from vehicles driving past. Eventually found and signed. TFTC.

Sorry.. turns out this was missing, but I have replaced the cache today, so is ready to go again.

Had a very quick look for this on our way to Tutira. Didn't want to leave the kids waiting in the car for long.

We searched for this on 26th October but did not find. Is it still there?? Really got to watch the traffic there!

also had a look for this one I believe gone burgers CO needs to check this one out

I believe that this little guy has taken flight and flew the nest in search of a better place to hide... The place I had been told the cache was hidden no longer exists! please confirm if it is in fact still there or if it has left for a better place.

we look hight and low for 10 mins on this one but no sign of it at all

Another DNF. These nickhbnz caches are too hard for us. We need some hints.
Thanks.

Didn't find this one today unfortunately will get it another day!

on a birthday trip around the north island, lots of cars tooting and looking at the strange people looking at railing but soon found TFTC

nice hide, a clue might be helpful

Who knew there was a beautiful little stream behind Devils elbow? TFTC a quick find along our journey

Eventually! I got way to fixated on where I 'thought' it was going to be and spend ages not finding it so headed north to another cache, came back and with a slightly more open mind went straight to this one!

TFTC

Felt a little conspicuous stopped here, but pretended to take photos of the area - a lot. Took longer than it should have to spot the cache, but got there eventually. Thanks nickhbnz

Good hide not what we were expecting. TFTC

Visited TB's

Wasn't our quickest find of the day but didn't take too long to find. TFTC

We decided to do a couple of caches on the way back from the CITO today. I didn't expect to get a joint FTF with the Latvian Lappin!! Took us longer to find than expected but not excessively so. TFTC.
