Nice find

Thanks for my first find!

Tftc

Checked the cache and coordinates and all is as it should be. All ready to be found.

I dont know where it is does the clue mean the sign the posts next to the sign or on the overgrown shrub side it confused me and I got poked by some barbed wire I spent like 15 mins on it and it was sad that I had to go. Ill try again soon but for now no clue where it is .

Its a bit over grown and there is barbed wire everywhere didnt find it could you please check on it? Thanks!!

Thanks for your amazing cache KmanNZ. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. I can't believe you have no favorites to date. I have the honour to fix that. Several checks to see your cache is waiting to be found and is still waiting. Found with Fisha1288 Cheers, Cympull.

Found with Cympull. Nice day although a bit boggy. Love the camo. TFC

Thought after seeing the hole in the post it would be easy! Spent about 5 mins looking with no luck

Tino iti! Cool little find,TFTF and the water was super warm and calm today!

First time ever doing this. Quite easy to find

We found it, great hiding spot. Thanks!

I am posting that I found this cache.

Very nice hide, quickly identified a likely location and locked into the target, bit of finger manipulation to have the cache in hand but very well crafted. TFTC, found with KiwiDS

All over grown

Had some rain overnight maybe a little out this way this morning, fence line quite overgrown and wet didn't even attempt as it would not have been very fun

All good to go again.

Cache is there but will tidy up abit

Sad

We didn't find it it was unpleasant smelling the rubbish and looking around the area - gave up early.

excellent craft to blend in

Nearly gave up on this one! But thanks to yabbsdabbs we got it right before we did! Very clever, TFTC!

Bigsamsam123 nearly gave up I decide to give it another go and found the cheeky bugger, very cool hide, tftc

Spent ages searching around all of the places to do with the hint no couldn't find anything

Checked and still there.

Well hidden nice geocache

5 January 2023 19:28 TFTC KmanNZ for placing this cache, number 12214 for me.

Day 8 of the holiday trip. Hopefully we have avoided the worst of the deluge ... Well not absolutely soaked, but the stunning views here were not at their best! Easy find many thanks

Awesome hide
Rubbish has all been cleared

Lunch time so after a short search and with cache in hand it was back to the shade to eat my sandwiches and to sign the log. Energy replaced as was the cache I was on my way. Thank you for the placement.

Checked today. Cache is still where it should be waiting to be found.

Looks like it's gone

Had us a little stumped! But we found it, awesome hide.

Thanks kahluis for the cache. It’s #1605 for us. We found your cache on 3 May 2022. We were using the Cachly maps to work out what’s what around the area and Mrs B said “are there any caches nearby”. Bingo, practically standing at GZ. As we were walking the dog, we didn’t have a pen so have included a picture of the log. Nice hide.

Looked couldn’t see it heaps of wasps around.

Cache moved away from flax bush and rubbish.

GPS was giving me grief but found it eventually. Peaceful spot. Tftc

Yay I found it

.

Our 350th cache, and what a stunning view! A beautiful day today, and the cache was quickly in hand. The nearby plaque commemorating ED Morgan offered some very interesting history of the area. TFTC

Nice quick find, as per one of the previous logs there was all sorts or rubbish at gz, mainly alcohol bottles and cans. Other than that this would be a nice spot to park up watch the sunset. Tftc.

So much rubbish around didn’t want to look too close

Managed to get a few hours kid free so me and the hubby decided to to find a few caches.
More worried about whanau seeing ua hahaha

No pen on us but will be back later to sign decided to go geocaching instead of baydreams lol thank you ️

I love that this cache brought us to an unknown beautiful spot. TFTF

Nice quick easy find, sadly spoiled by a previous activity log!!!!! Real spoiler but a beautiful spot.
Thank you

Cache retrieved and ready to go again.

There have been earthworks around here. Have been keeping an eye on it. Did a check today and it has gone. Will replace close by.

Second of the two bushes I checked. Nice wee spot!

Bit of rubbish around. But tucked away nicely

My first find! Great view. I’m hooked.

Cruising around New Zealand and picking up caches when possible.

We were on an excursion to the Maori Village. R-Turtle made a break for it, when the refreshments were served to find this one. Great Views at ground zero!

The Little One came up with the goods on this one with Mrs and Mr scouring other possible locations as gps was bouncing all over the show - although Little One did find at our closet gps location. An exciting find inside and we took the TB with us.

Yayy first find loved it

Loved the packaging as well!!

Found it. Had a newbie with us so his first find. Awesome. Thanks for the tradable.

Having a good day out getting a few caches - TFTC

Nice easy find
Heaps of parking

Tftc nice wee hide found with abcdf4 and pick up tb and drop off tbs

Nice quick find. Been here previously and was looking in the wrong place. The clue is right. Thanks

Over in Tauranga for the day while Mrs Dragon had a cake decorating class so used the opportunity to collect a few caches about the area before she finished.
Lucky enough to get through the day without getting wet which is a bonus, and not too many others seen out and about on what was a chilly day.
Thanks to all the CO's for the palcements.

Tb drop

Easy as bro!

Quick and easy find.

One of the hassles of trying to maintain a streak of consecutive daily finds is illness and weather. Fortunately no problem with the former but the latter is happening today in the form of steady rain. But no matter, out we go...
Arrived at GZ to find a car parked adjacent to the 'likely spot'. I thought it was empty until I got closer to LS. Bugger. Went back to SF the geomobile to wait and look at nearby alternatives but eventually he left, I guess having finished his lunch.
Back to the task at hand. Found it easily enough among the trash also secreted in here. Then another car pulls up... but the elegantly dressed female occupant takes a look at the view and then gets back in her car and drives off.
Container was unclipped one side so emptied out the insects calling it home, signed log and another month knocked off my streak. TFTC. Dislike intensely flax bush hides!

Nanny and I went for a walk. Nanny suggested I look for this cache which she now maintains. I found it easily, but the dreaded flax bush is covered in kikuyu and creepers - she will have to come back and clean it all up for the marae. Thanks Nanny for bringing me here.

I went to go find this one the other day but they were setting up the Chapel so it wasn't an appropriate time to look for it.
I found it today and the cache is in good condition.
It is amazing how much this area has changed over the years what once was a large kiwifruit Orchard next door is now all houses in a retirement village.
Found on a stunning morning with the tide right in so was a awesome view.
SL TFTC

Out and about chasing hidden creatures on a miserably wet day, are we stupid or what? No problem with the find TFTC.

Master 7 found

was at da marae. took a stroll. easy find

Was a bit worried since it hadn't been logged for a few months but found no issues. Tftc!

Yup was where we suspected
Tftc and the location was awesome

Found this on my holiday weekend in Waihi and Papamoa!
Not too tricky thank goodness ....

Muggles camped out and so couldn't really search.

Found yesterday tftc

Played the wsiting game with a couple of muggles but got there in the end. Dropped a tb in. Tftc

A muggle was parked at GZ but the crafty Mr S made the find under his nose and he never suspected a thing.

Thanks kaluis.

Looked in all the places I thought were 'likely spots' to no avail... was about to give up after an extensive search of the surrounding area then I decided to look in another place and bingo! Such a shame so many caches turn out to be bits of rubbish, why don't people use bins!!!!! Pretty views though TFTC.

Flowering flax, and a gorgeous view complete with train of shipping containers! Love Tauranga harbour, thanks for bringing us here.

Nice spot

There was a lot of disturbance at GZ so I looked elsewhere at first. Got there in the end.

Quick and easy

Have just check again and although a tree has been cut down, it is still safe and sound waiting to be found.

Didn't find but there has recently been a tree cut down so I'm wondering if it has now gone.

Easy find. Thanks

Easy find.nice big container compared to others.Hangarau!!Amen

Runnin' Down A Dream (Bay Of Plenty) was transferred from KmanNZ to user kahluis

Not sure why we could not find it

School holiday find. TFTC

A school holiday jaunt. Found by junior Harrybee. TFTC

Nice easy find. Thanks!

Good find, great day for a search.

Found it

Lovely drive out here and despite hearing workmen's music we couldn't see them so made a nice quick find and replacement. TFTC

Great little byway to visit on a sunny winter's day. Beautiful views and the surrounding buildings are growing apace. Easy find. Cache in good condition and has good swag. Pencil sharpened, so all ready for the next finders. TFTC

Nice quick fine. Not such a great view today with a bit of rain about. Church rebuild going on very close by so free music from the builders. Thanks for the cache.

Tapiata Reunion. Had a lil activity for the kids..

Again in need of some fresh air and some exercise so a walk was in order and a cache included. Made our walk longer than we needed by going the long way but exercise is always great. Between showers got to GZ where some muggles were parked up in the dark so off into the trees to have a bit of a look, waiting for the car to move off. After a wee while muggles moved off and I went in for a look where I thought the cache would be and cache was in hand - TNLNSL and left as found. Thanks for the placement at this great view KmanNZ.

A beautiful view a train went past while finding this.let a cockroach escape from your cache tftc

What a lovely view of the harbor. we saw a train go past while there tftc

Steed was all ready to dive in for the find, when a retired couple drove up and around, into the shade, facing the view, and perilously close to the cache.
At first we thought they might be there for the same reason as us, but it looked like they were eating,so we CITOed the fenceline, then Steed angled himself out of their line of sight and went in for the find.
We left a smile badge and a rhino as we have recently been to the Hamilton Zoo here we were very impressed with the white rhinos. Photo below. TFTC.
