Puketapu Park End (Hawkes Bay) Puketapu, North Island, New Zealand
By SunnyBunny64, RainbowJordy on 05-Sep-15. Waypoint GC62X4M

Been missing for awhile. No suitable place to hide cache.

Puketapu Park End (Hawkes Bay) was transferred from SunnyBunny64 to user Cee Vee

This geocache is possibly missing and I just haven't been able to go and check on it.

CO to confirm

I know Skindo type of caches and nothing fitted the bill here. The CO needs to check if still in place.

As we expected the cache to be in the park, we were somewhat surprised when the coordinates took us outside the park. We have found many skindo caches, so knew where to look, but although we tried a couple of places near the coordinates, we didn't find a cache.

Couldn't find this one. Will try again

Enjoying the area picking up caches

No real problems here - co-ords a bit out but hint helpful. SL TFTC

A fun geocaching weekend in the Hawkes Bay with tmann421.

A nice quick find here. TFTC

Hi there,

Your recent update of the coordinates for this geocache has put it in breach of the geocache saturation guidelines. http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachesaturation

I'm afraid it appears to be only 155.0 m away from another geocache, Puketapu Park Carpark (Hawkes Bay http://coord.info/GC62VB8 . http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachesaturation

I have temporarily disabled your cache to allow you to relocate it away from the other cache. Once you have moved the cache and changed the coordinates you may enable the cache again. If this issue is not resolved within the next two weeks the geocache will be archived.

1st find of the school holidays an the two boys I have with me today were very excited to find it !!

Looked in the park and just beyond but wading through other peoples rubbish and weeds is not our idea of fun so left this for more attractive places

My son is enjoying the day second find for him....ltd

quick find

TFTC

Found quickly once my short legs managed to climb over the fence !

Good quick find thanks

Found at the event, looked past this twice before I spotted it, very clever! Tftc!

Thanks to fellow geocachers for the find

Found by Munkis and handed to me to sign, along with a few other cachers from the Geocaching BBQ event. TFTC

Gps bounced all over the place but got it in the end. Tftc

Finally found this one, helped a little with updated GPs. Thanks for the trade

Finally found this one thanks for the updated coordinates, thanks for the trade

Found it unfortunately there is alot of rubbish here

Easy find. The area was a bit gross

Last of a quick-ish four finds in this lovely park. I was very familiar with the hint

TFTC

Found it but also found lots of yucky things. Such a shame to see so much rubbish in such a beautiful place.

Coordinates were out so have adjusted to hopefully make them more accurate

This was a hard one! GPS kept saying it was on private property. Eventually found it.

Gps indicated private property but we quickly decided this wasn't right. We had a look long hunt around but without knowing ''skindo'' and nothing about what type of cache he/she likes we were lost. We will be back and hopfully with a bit more of a clue or updated Gps? Thanks

This one was hard! We found a dead animal in a plastic bag - GROSS!!!!

Challenging and a bit gross (lots of rubbish).

We are well equipped in finding Skindos caches so was a quick find today. TFTC we had a rooster follow us to the cache and found out our dog is very scared of roosters.

Shame about the rubbish being dumped here even had a carseat if you wanted to sit in the fresh air and relax for a while. Had to use clue as cords are a tad off was out caching with my mate the cougar aroha and happy caching

Found with help from Kiwiowl and Morgan Ed. Lotta rubbish around. Someone even dumped a booster seat here, not so bad but they left the kid in it! Coulda recycled that man! TFTC

We know skindos hides very well so was a quick find for us. Noticed it was even skindos favorite container also!! Tftc find #1100

We came over to the Domain after the Grandsons school cross country run to finish offthe afternoon, a nice quick find and then on to the next.

Another fun find at an awesome little park. Not FTF for us, but enjoyed the fish nevertheless. Jono enjoyed the chance to flying fox nostalgically. TFTC!

Another FTF but my GPS was indicating in to private land. However, the clue is very clear for those in the know. Gutted to see the amount of stuff dumped here and I may be back the next time my rubbish bin is pretty empty to deal to that. Very much a 'skindo' type find except that it has trade items in it!!!

Found on a beautiful spring day. Took a bit of searching and reading daves log to realise what was up, then a quick find.
