Looked for a while for that one but I didn't enjoy my search with all that rubbish.
This was our second attempt to find this cache. No luck this time either. Perhaps needs checking. Tftc
No joy for alpenmilch80 and myself here. Gave it a good look but came away empty handed.
Ryan was out on his bike and stopped off to find this one. Didn't take too long. TFTC
This would be a real test of stealth at certain times of the day but fortunately a bus had just left as we arrived and taken away all the muggles.
We spent a bit of time poking out heads into odd places before we finally spotted the cache when we had a second look at the first place we had searched.
How did we miss that the first time?
Thanks goober24 for a fun end to our weekend.

Was about to give up on this before popping my head round 1 last time, very satisfying finding 1 a few people haven't found!! 
We wanted to find a geocache tonight to bring up 100 for the month of April and this is the closest one to home that we haven't found or well, is mine these days. Combined with a walk for Albert the Geohound and here we were. This one gave us a wee bit of trouble but we stuck at it and found it. Nice and quiet for once, previously we've come past here and there are always people in the bus stop, perhaps it is quiet because the students are all on holiday at the moment. Thanks for replacing the cache, always good to see one get back up and running.
Yes geocache has disappeared, so I've temporarily disabled it until I put a replacement cache.

Decided to have a quick look despite the previous DNF's. Now Ive just added mine to the list!
Had a good search, but nothing found unfortunately. Looks like a bit of tidying up may have taken place here, so possibly gone?
I need a few caches with night attributes so headed out from my sisters place to pick up a few after dinner. This looked like it should be fairly easy but after a search of many different spots in, around and near the bus shelter, I came up empty handed Certainly found a lot of places a cache of this type could be hidden. Not sure if it is missing or I am just cache blind. Another day.
Found on a quick stop by on my way in to work. Early morning was definitely a good time to go...parking was easy and the bus stop was empty because most people are going the other way. I just had to dodge a few joggers and everything was sweet. TFTC! #912
It's been a very long time since I checked for caches in this area.. I walk past this spot every day on my way to work (usually to get my regular caffeine fix from Eden espresso). Nice hiding spot, TFTC!
Found it in a cache hunt along a 7 years old kid who is loving the game!!
I found this one

We waited, and waited, and waited, got tired of waiting and walked. Not true we had no intentions of taking the bus. TFTC
Found Friday not Saturday
Found Friday not Saturday
It is only 1 min walk away from my office. First I think should on the tree but I am wrong... Not too difficult while not quite easy for beginners.
Out this way after lunch for a walk and decided to give this one a go. Made so many rounds around the shelter and as I was about to leave I spotted the hook. Very nicely hidden out in the open!

We didn't understand what's an "bison" on the clue . So even without muggle we didn't find it 
Am doing a 50 day geocaching streak with a few geocaching friends.....and this was my cache for the day.
Arrived at GZ, a few muggles around, used my stealth powers, but my manly hands knocked the cache, so had to go deeper to retrieve it.

Had just descended from on high, after gathering answers for the Earthcache, and since this one was so close, I thought I'd better st off and grab it.
Parked right next to it, as it was late on a Saturday avo and the neighboring shops were closed. As I was walking towars GZ, I spotted where I thought it could be (that's where I'd put it too!!!), and sure enough, there it was!
There were one or two muggles wandering around, so stealth was needed. Luckily it was a quick grab while backs were turned, and I sat casually on the bench to complete the formalities, looking for all the world as if I was just waiting for the bus (which, luckily, didnt appear!) An equally stealthy return, and I was out of there.
Thanks for the cache!!!

I looked at several places where the hint fit, but didn't see anything. After waiting for a muggle to leave, I started my search again and came up with the cache. TFTC.
Had to wait for a bus to pass before starting the initial hunt. Decided to read past logs whilst waiting. Put on right track and quick find after the muggle had gone. TFTC
After I climbed Mt Eden, I wanted to catch the bus and I found a cache as well. TFTC
After walking from town to this cache I thought I was in the clear and then this muggle sat down right near the GZ..... so I tried to wait her out but turned out she wasn't waiting for a bus. After visiting the nice coffee shop nearby I walked past the GZ and the muggle... then she moved off. So in I went and it took a couple of searches but luckily not much foot traffic today so got the cache and returned it without much issue. Cache and log in good condition
Quick find today at lunch. Short search around GZ revealed the herbivore. Convenient place to pick up lunch before heading back to work. TFTC
Took us a while. But checking your shoe laces where you think it is was the helping tip
I thought I had logged this cache on the day, but apparently not. I found this one after attending a seminar nearby. Although my bus always goes past this stop, I never got off to find it. I saw the bush and then spotted the cache immediately. Nice little spot. Thanks.
I finally got round to getting this cache, even though I my bus goes along this route almost everyday... I just never really got the chance to come by, or be motivated enough to get off halfway, find the cache and walk the rest of the way home. I got to GZ, saw a muggle, and walked around with my phone trying to look normal. It put me in the middle of the driveway which had me confused momentarily, but then I peered and soon spotted it's nice little hiding spot. Nice little hide. Definitely can't do this with many muggles around. Luckily the muggle that was there was actually under the bus shelter. TFTC.
Out after work, getting some fresh air, exercise and a few caches. GPSr took me near a seat where I sat and studied the surroundings. Having done that, took a look where I thought the cache may be by doing up my shoelace. Cache spotted and grabbed then moved away to sign the log.
Cache returned as found - thanks for the placement goober24.

We had just found a cache nearby and had a visit from a police car in the carpark as we drove out (they didn't talk to us, just drove in, looked around and drove out. We have a lot of respect for the NZ Police but couldn't help ourselves and had a little joke about them looking for a place to park up and have a nap and us foiling their plans) then we came down to this cache and what do you know look who turns up. Are they following us? Anyway as it was reasonably early in the morning and nobody else was around what could they be here for? Next thing you know they had disappeared but left their car parked nearby us. We had another little joke about coffee and donuts as the only thing near us was a bakery. We found the cache, signed the log, replaced it and jumped it in the car.
As we drove away what did we see? Said cops with coffees and pies...teeheehee

Lovely day for loitering and looking for a cache. One of the few times a bus arrived on time -- in time to remove likely muggles from the area as I approached GZ. Thanks goober24, for cache placement and for not getting arrested as you placed the afore mentioned cache, stripes are not that fashionable, no matter which way they run. 
#275. I didn't have to pretend I was waiting for a bus, I actually was! Even though Murphy's law states the bus would turn up halfway through signing the log, fortunately that didn't happen. I managed to find the cache, sign the log and return it in the 5 minutes I had before my bus turned up, mostly due to the hint and other logs. And at 5.15am on thursday that wasn't difficult. TFTC!
Ah, this brought back memories, I used to catch the bus home from this stop when I lived in Mt Eden!
A quick find after following my GPSr and using the hint.
Thanks!
