Quick easy find for the minis! Love the thought put into it at this location. TFTC - you're ace.
Clues were very helpful. Found on our second visit after a visit to the local bakery to read all the info. Thanks. My fouth find ever! From a very grateful 7yr old
A quick find here in the first place I looked. Added a new semi-waterproof log sheet as the existing one is full. tftc
We found it!And as we were signing the lab we got found by catchers who were doing the same loop
This was a nice find while in the area early this morning. It just took a few moments to find the clever hide here. The cache is in good condition except that the logbook is absolutely crammed full. I managed to squeeze my initials in a gap but perhaps another visitor will be able to add some paper as I had none.Thanks very much indeed for the cache.

I went looking for a nearby archived cache, one belonging to a CO who has left the game and many of whose caches are still in situ. Well I didn't find it, and on the way back to the bus stop over the railway I stopped for one of New World's excellent gelatos.At the bus stop I let one bus go by as I still had most of an ice cream in my hands, so I thought I should wander over here while I finish my ice cream and wait for the next bus.Given the subject matter of this cache I was expecting water to be involved, so I was about to enter the property and look for a vertical pipe with a hole of few near the bottom when I found the cache. It is hidden in one of my favourite urban hide styles, which is how come I was idly testing them while looking over the fence wondering where that vertical pipe might be. Man I do like the paint job!!
No panic required, instead a calm, cool and collected retrieval despite multiple mowers and runners about. Tftc!
A nice quick find, especially if you read the very helpful tip. Thanks for the cache
No Panic here. Mrs SoBad and her sister had completed the local Ad Lab stroll and this was on the way back to where the car was parked. No problem with the find as it was a hide we had both seen before.
Thanks.
Thanks.
A clever way to point you in the right direction, if you read the cache page, which I always do. Then a bit of experience helps a bit, too.
It didn't take long to make the find and sign the log. Nicely hidden.
Then it was off to the river for a few more caches before we had an appointment nearby.

Out with JordanD125 and Hamish.D, nice quick park and grab! giving the feet a minor break before we head off to the next spot! TFTC
First time out today with a couple of different members of my Geo-Whanau, [JordanD125](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=d447c422-3a9c-47f1-8ab9-9610b3913050) and [Dezzied125](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=5e33bab3-5137-41f2-a37f-7d9e9d4bfca8) both of whom are new to the game plus the ever faithful Geo-Wife and Poppy the Geo-Staffy too.
Cache #12 for us today and no sirens, fire trucks, firemen, or even muggles today so we managed to keep things pretty Panic free.
Quickly found cache right where the cache page said it would be. Signed log and returned. All in good order,

Our 2nd fabulous "trails trails trails" find today! Giving this a FP for the education, and the clever and decorated hide. Good fun all around. Had to work quite hard to uncover the hiding place, even though we knew where to look. TFTC and thanks to the volunteer firefighters! Yay!
Out caching with JustLookin00 today and we decided on Silverstream. A fun cache - we weren't ready to panic - but it took patience to find that's for sure. All quiet today luckily. Clever. TFTC.
Found while chasing caching numbers in this area today with Itchyfeet2020. It took a bit of strength to get this one, a great urban cache! TFTC.
Found it on a brief visit from on my way from Upper Hutt to Petone while in Wellington during Matariki weekend. I was doing Adventure Lab in Silverstream so this hide was handy.

Great hide and great tribute to the Fire Fighters. KTG found it pretty quickly after seeing another cache like this before. TFTC
Loved the semi-mandatory fire safety education that made up part of this find. A neat hide too. and I enjoyed the fire-themed camo on the cache. TFTC. KTG
We've had such a glorious run of weather recently, that I almost forgotten what going out in the rain to find a cache was like. But I got a chance to remind myself this evening after work.
Having said that, the rain had pretty much stopped by the time I arrived at GZ and In was doubly blessed with a quick find of the cache.
No issues here at all, and the log soon had my name on it before the whole thing was replaced as found.
Thanks for setting up this panic-free cache.

We quickly located the hiding place, but didn't panic when we were unable to gain access. Instead we returned to the car for an implement which soon gained access to the nicely hidden cache. TFTC
Travelling down to Wellington for a few days. Collecting a few selective caches while in the Hutt valley. Mrs Rubbishparty went to do the local Lab cache and Mrs Rubbishparty some traditional. We meet up here which was good as a bit more muscle power was required then Mrs Rubbishparty could provide. Bingo. Don’t Panic it’s still there. Thanks for the smiley.
After a little bit of searching the cache was in hand here today. Thanks for the cache.
Do as the hint says and you won't get burnt! That was a good hide. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC.
Well I did briefly but then a few more hints had me in the correct place. Clever indeed! Tftc
Somebody waiting at bus stop opposite when I first swung by, so wen in search of other caches. Returned to find GZ all clear, so quick find. All good, tftc!
Another of many May dot days that I'm trying to fill and not a very nice day for Geocaching, as it has turned into the wettest day for months. Never mind, we needed to go out for other reasons anyway, so after completing the first couple of items on the list we headed down to Silverstream to look for a cache. I wanted one that would complete my finds for the next Wonders of the World souvenir (Natural Wonders) and there were a couple of those in the vicinity, but the one I had planned on has a string of DNFs at the moment and even a message from the community volunteer to the CO asking for the cache to be checked, so I didn't bother with that one and headed here instead. Lots of cars were parked down the road, so I parked at the top end and left Mrs B doing a SuDoku in the car while I wandered back down the road to look for the cache, reading some rather sobering facts about fire from the cache description as I went. Something to be avoided, that's for sure. Once at GZ I was glad to have read everything, because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be an easy find without the instructions. I liked the 'camo' on the cache container too. A nice dry cache location, and I soon had the log signed and cache back in place, then returned to Mrs B. She was very happy she'd just completed a difficult puzzle in record time, so we were both happy. Then it was back to Upper Hutt for the next item on the afternoon's agenda.
Thanks to trails trails trails for placing this cache and to wb1116 for taking it over.

Fantastic extended caching weekend with evilC! He felt right at home, although the cache took a while to locate. Eventually it was as expected! TFTC!!
It searching for something smaller than a person in a building, it's probably best to get Hinemoana's eyes involved rather than mine!. This is what I was learning as day one of our combined caching adventure continued...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Mum is helping me log all my caches that I haven't logged yet.Found with Mum (LL113) and Dad (GNARwhal) and one of my sisters (MomsOB) and my nephew.
On a mission today with the GeoFamily. It was GeoHubby's turn to scout GZ first to see if he could make the find. Alas, he required my help while the GeoKids and GeoBaby ate ham sandwiches in the car. I found the right area quickly, then GeoHubby used his 'Manly skills' (GRRR) to obtain the cache, which is awesome I might add! All signed and returned to it's place. On to the next...
