Pocket Park #4 (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By G-2 on 10-Mar-16. Waypoint GC693G3

Looked on the wrong chair but wasnt a problem , got it in the end tftc

My gps was jumping around a bit but found it in the end. Tftc

Took a few extra minutes because my GPS was darting between each of the seats but once I got the right one, it was a quick find, sign and replace as the rain started to pick up. Cache is in good order, logbook has a lot of signs that have melted off with the moisture. TFTC G2, north shore's MVP!

Busy wee road. Tried to look like enjoying the spot in the sun. TFTC

It took me far too long to realise that the hint could be referring to more than one item... Once I figured that out, the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC!

Cool cute little find, just a random drive by in our way home!

Easy find while stopping next door to see a friend.

I'm in Auckland for the holidays and visiting family. Nice and quick find. Panicked a bit as gps was out by 10m which is typical of an Auckland cache. Hehe. Tftc

Log was a bit wet so here’s a picture of it

Nice quick find. Tftc

I found it

So fun! Good to sit and relax for a bit

M24: M13 and I needed to take a seat after a bit of walking, especially in this almost summer weather, whoo... nice and easy find, log all good and signed. TFTC.

was looking around the wrong seat and i forgot my pen so took a pic for proof tftc

Took a seat and "watched the traffic" for a while. Cache was quickly found. Great little park. TFTC

Found by lil miss while eating her morning tea between her dance classes today. TFTC

Me and my son took a little bit of time but we found it. TFTC

I was in Glenfield again (as I am almost every Saturday afternoon) and needed to find a cache (as I have been for 99 days in a row now!) and this was pretty close, so I walked over to what I thought was the hint item and had a search around. Expanding my search a bit further I realised that I wasn't quite in the right place, but second time around figured it out and retrieved a familiar style of hide, all good here. TFTC!

Found after some scrabbling around.
Then had a coffee nearby .

After getting wet knees at the last cache, I now have a wet bottom to match from sitting on the bench to sign the log. For a busy road junction nobody seemed to notice me having a brief sit down in the rain here.

Making my way back across town and a few caches en route. Nice and easy here, parked across the road and strolled over before making a quick find.

Time to start expanding the trip home and exploring some other alternative locations that have options. Today I headed back via Northcote in a light drizzle but still managed to make a few finds. Started the caching day before dawn with some torchlight Adv Lab caches.
A good day to get a few more and to keep my numbers ticking over nicely, thanks all COs.

Nice stroll and relaxing find while watching cars go by, thanks.

Driving home after visiting family, we popped into this pocket park to pick up a quick cache. Tftc

I headed out today, after work, to grab a geocache or two to fill another calendar day. So I decided to head over this way where there are a few caches close to each other that I haven't grabbed.

Upon arriving at GZ it was a very brief search, in a cute little pocket park, before I had the cache in hand. It is all in good condition and not a bad place to rest for a moment. Thanks for the cache #1113

Interesting history here. Never knew about pocket parks! Anyway nice hint! TFTC

Good spot

Easy find on Christmas day

I like these small little caches.TFTC

Out to pick up a few caches with one half of KirsTim & yorkshirekiwi83. A nice qick one.

Out for the day with Vamber & Yorkshirekiwi83 but only 3 out of the usual team of 5. All logs signed as KKS or similar. Typical when you're after numbers they seem to be more long searches....thankfully not this one. Nice and quick, thanks

I guess thank you council for these tiny parks and caches TFTC

Not much traffic around which was good. Nice quick find & a great place provided for signing the log. TFTC

Hah! Avenged my yet to log DNF of another of the CO's caches exactly a week ago! Thanks!

Fairly quick find after we saw that the shrubbery was obscuring a possible hiding spot.

Another chance to work my way continued on what I didn't clear off from last weekends trip. So once again an early start to the day followed by lots of laughter and fun while hunting for caches in the "Burbs" that really is Auckland.
An early start one again at "oh my god o'clock" which had me starting caching for the start of the day in the day. For the remainder of the day I was in the company of Alpenmilch80 for more laughter and fun as we worked our way through the area. So much nicer to be caching in fine weather after all the recent rain over the last few weeks. Logs signed as "CD" (or some such varient) to conserve log space
For the day managed fifty two and three DNF's so all in all not too bad and home by 2.30pm

Thankfully the road was very quiet which made grabbing this one so much easier
Thank you to all the cache owners who put in the effort for the game to keep us thinking about what is coming next.
thank you for the placement, thank you for the cache

Thought this would be a bit trickier as it was a G2 hide, but didn't take long at all to spot once we were at the right hint item. Tftc

In desperation to try and get our last couple of caches for the hidden creatures. I sent the "Darby" part of the team for this one, as the "Joan" part had another fall attempting to get a cache at lunchtime. (Just bruised not broken thank goodness). Anyway pleased to have a find here trying to find a quieter moment to appreciate the park. Now just 1 last one to find. SL. TFTC.

Out with alpenmilch80 for some after work caching today amongst the showers and we came by this one. Was hoping for a few quick finds and we managed exactly that with no issues here - nice quick find here. Off to the next before it gets too dark. TFTC

After work geocaching workout together with evilno9 to get some more numbers for the hidden creatures. TFTC

A mission to find parking nearby, so decided to park by the dairy and by something for morning tea. Then walked over to the park to eat the chips, while searching for the cache.

After completing some home chores in the morning we decided to reward ourselves with a few caches in the afternoon. We set off from home with Beach Haven in mind stopping for a few easy and not so easy park and grabs. Had lots of fun today exploring some new parks, beaches and bus stops and enjoyed the many different hides from the CO's today.

After catching a gnome nearby we couldn't pass up the chance for another sneaky cache on the way home. Went to the wrong hint item initially,but found quickly. TFTC!

Finally our last cache for today but a chance to clock up 2,500 finds. Small beer for most but still a fun milestone for us. Opted for a park and grab on the way home in a pocket park, since chances are it would be a quick find. So it proved and the family came out to find this cache for find number 2,500.

Tell you what, there's some long skinny pockets these days. I guess we shouldn't complain, but the park has few redeeming features. It has a cache, so thumbs up for that! All good here and thanks for the cache.

Came over this way this morning on another detour to work to grab this cache to continue my daily streak (Day #465) Nice quick find TFTC

Out gaining points for Planetary Pursuits. It decided to rain heavily as we arrived at GZ. Nice cache container. Simple but effective. Thanks again G-2.

Mr Jag dropped Mrs Jag and I off and while he found a car park, we found the cache. He happened to park behind an identical model and coloured car with a number plate just 3 digits off... what are the odds of that happening I wonder?!!

Whilst Mr Jag50 parked the car, the rest of the party made a quick find. On returning to the car, Mr Jag had found an identical twin car model and registration number differing by 3 in the last digit - almost climbed into the wrong car.

Pretty simple and easy hide considering the nature of the cache. Cache is good, dry condition.

Spent a great day caching the north shore with Agazo. Thanks for all the fun caches we found along the way

Logged in slot 34. Thanks for the cache.

Coords looked a few meters off but there isn't much magnetic locations around so was still a nice quick find, thank you

Quick pick up after playing football nearby

Today dawned a beautiful day in Auckland so after Master SethRavens swimming lesson this morning, we headed off to the North Shore and picked up my big son Tim and off we went . . . . . . once I got the right seat twas a quick find, sign and we were on our way . . . . .TFTC

I went out with Yorkshirekiwi83 this afternoon for a couple of hours caching around the Beach Haven/Glenfield area. A nice easy find here with no muggles about. TFTC!

Havent been out caching for more than one or two in ages, so grabbed Vistra and we headed out for a couple of hours.

I dropped off Vistra and found a parkng spot, he had the cache waiting for me. TFTC.

I was getting a few witdrawal symptoms as I hadn't found a cache for a while so today as I was waiting for one of my grand-daughters to have her piano lesson at the nearby Intermediate School I took a wee wander down to this one.

It was at the wrong time, of course, so with the act of tieing my shoelaces several times I located, signed and replaced the cache.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice quick find. Like these little pocket parks gives Glyn the excuse to hide a cache and us to find. All quite today but the council could do with mowing the area.
TFTC

These parks are popping up everywhere the road get widened. Thanks.

Sat down and quietly logged while the muggles drove past oblivious.
Ohh look the bakery opposite is still open. Used to go there regularly when flatting close by a number of years ago.
Better go and see if their pies are still any good, as this caching is making me hungry, cheers

Found fast. Guess that makes it a pocket rocket

Busy here today but managed to find a gap to do what was needed. Tftc

Trying not to act suspicious in rain with hoodie on while lurking around in the dark andcrain. Nice hide. Found in between phasings of traffic lights.

Small park, small cache, but I still found it quickly. TFTC.

At nearby McFetridge Park to watch a game of football and with time to spare beforehand went for a walk. Cute little park and did some CITO before heading across the road to the bakery! TFTC

I must have driven past this park dozens of times and never had time to stop. Well this time I did and grabbed it before the school kids came past.

All quiet today so a few minutes relaxing in the sun & the cache was in hand-tftc

I popped out this afternoon for a couple of hours of cache detection in the mild winter weather this afternoon. I parked up by the shops and took the opportunity to take a quick refuel. Crossed the street and made my way over to GZ. Overshot the mark initially. After a quick back track I was able to execute a super quick find. Cheers for the cache placement!

Sunday morning geocache with my family. Found it after the muggle left the area. Master Drylie - 8 years

Dropped Ryan off to pick this one up while I turned the car around. Nice quick find by him. TFTC

tftc nice quick find

Tftc. Very clever hide. Nice quick find

Came by here with FMZ who had in mind to collect a heap of caches before his trip to Brazil and Argentina. I was keen to tag along and join him in his quest for fame! I always enjoy random requests to go out caching, day or night!! We came by Chris's area he used to ,live in and this cache was found quite quickly as such, he found it, I signed it, we departed.... cheers G for the cache.

Nice quick find here on my old street. My old stomping ground. TFTC!!!

Log later

Had been meaning to hid a cache in this pocket park, but G--2 bet me to it. Have only just got around to finding it now. Checked the wrong seat first, so moved to the next one and found it.
The house was bought under North Shore City so that the intersection could be realigned, but after the transition to the SuperCity, the project was delayed until recently.

We have watched a video on how to make this type of cache but this is the first one we have come across. Last day of 3 day road trip from Hawkes bay to Auckland and back. Great few days to grab a number of caches. Tftc

Nice quick find in the dark while out picking up Saturday night takeaways!

Great hide. Your so clever with the camos.

Another nice find while on holiday around the Auckland area. SL

Nearly got run over by a truck crossing the road

Tftc

It was dark by the time we headed out for today's cache, so we were glad to have only a Pocket sized Park to search. Soon had the cache in hand. Thanks.

Nice, caching while seated, the way to go.

TFTC

Phew...lovely quick find after 2 DNFs........thank goodness...

Oh surprise! TTF! I didn't had this cache on my agenda but today I came around here and stopped spontaneously for picking up the cache. No one was around and so I was able to grab the little box quite fast.

Thanks a lot for the Cache.

Found by Gadget J. Saw this appear last night and decided to wait until today. Needed a post dinner cache. We have driven past this spot many timers and were about to place a cache here ourselves. Nice hide. Tftc

Published

We were sitting at home enjoying a cold drink after a busy day around Leigh. Just about to head to bed when Scotty checked our emails and noticed a new cache had been published close by. We were not going to bother until she then noticed Pocket Park #4. To close to home to ignore. We had been watching this parks developement with interest over the last year. Not sure if they removed a house or just pushed the fence right up against the existing property. Kiwi has always wondered who is really going to use the seats in this spot. Now he knows the answer......... Geocachers TFTC & (FTF)
