Missing in action

Needs maintenance

It is time this one was checked

Lots of dnfs here..it must be troll day as this is my 2nd troll dnf...if you cant be bothered fixing ..just push the disable button ..its easy as and will save people a lot of time wasting

A day of dnfs ln troll hideouts. Nothing here.

Suspect the people saying it might be gone might be right. Also feel I've found a cache here before.

Sweet little spot in the valley

Gone

I think this might be missing as me and others spent at least 20mins checking everywhere, and found nothing. Maybe has been muggled? Will check again soon.
Thanks, 123456abcdefg.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We checked everywhere for 20 mins, no luck. Maybe its been muggled? Will check again soon. Thanks anyway.

No trolls here today.

Nice easy find. All that was in there was the log n a table tennis ball. Nice reserve Nd lovely native bush.

Visiting friends nearby so, of course, checked for nearby caches. After short walk in the morning mist I had it. TFTC.

The purpose of life is to discover your gift the meaning of life is to give your gift away. Wasn't with the troll but it is now

Dnf'd here a couple of months ago and decided to try again today, still no luck.

I had to search a few spots before finally spotting the cache

Nice find for our mini cachers...no trolls about so quick grab...also no sign of TB. TFTC!

Tftc

Bit of a trek, very creative found it quite easily with use of flashlight tftc

Beautiful gully, what a great hide. Fifth find of the day for myself and yesmegustin. Tftc.

News Years Day, perfect for a series of driveby and walkbys in the Waikato. With no-one around parking was pretty easy. Thanks.

Back into Hamilton after our jaunt around the countryside. No problems here. TFTC

-CTHEWORLD- #Nieuw Zeeland
Tijdens onze wereldreis proberen we in elk land een geocache te loggen! Deze ben ik gaan zoeken terwijl mijn vrouw de gemaakte filmpjes van Fiji aan het uploaden was in de Burger King
Tijdens het zoeken moest ik bedenken waar trollen zich verstoppen, aangezien ik niets van trollen weet was het even zoeken maar uiteindelijk toch gelukt!!

What a beautiful spot. #3 for the day. TFTC

After dropping SharkBoy off nearby I decided to grab some caches. Just got out of the car and a rainstorm decided to hit. Went back to sit in the car and wait it out. Rain over, it was cache time. Second time here for a cache so soon wandered on down. Hunted around a bit and was trying to keep dry and not get muddy. Spotted the cache and tried to lean in and grab it but unfortunately for covered in mud in the process. Dropped off a TB I've had for too long. Now back to the car to dry off and think of a good explanation as to why I am wet muddy and cold.

I sneaked off from work today to grab this cache to get the Halloween souvenir. I had a good idea as to where to look having been here before for another cache which has been archived. It was interesting to see that a lot of work has been done here to improve the tracks. Even though the cache page warned of being careful when returning the cache I still managed to drop it and had to reach further than I wanted to collect it and return it. Thanks for bringing me back here.

I spotted GZ well before I actually got there since I could see it far below from the edge of the bush, still at street level. After a bit of climbing down, I got to GZ and spotted the cache out in the open. I hid it a little better, and hopefully, more safe. TFTC.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

The hint almost doesn't make sense any more but the cache is in the obvious place! Found with my four legged friend. So many new smells!

What a fantastic park. My 4 legged team leader loved it. Friendly fantail followed us.

Nice geocache! Added an ostrich foot shell.

Thought I'd go for a wander & a quick cache while hubby was shopping for supplies at the nearby supermarket; also thought I'd have some teen help but they were focussed on poke thingies ... thankfully a good hint so it was easy on my own. Picked up the 'anyone who has ever made anything of importance was disciplined' quote: very appropriate for a week when we've been watching the Rio Olympics in awe of their efforts. tftc

Nice dry log book. Gorgeous location. Took some pictures. TFTF.

No trolls today, just a nice dry cache and a few fallen trees from the recent storms.

Tftc.

1862 Another dot day filled. Slowly filling these. Nice walk in the gully. Did the circuit after signing the cache. Great to see the work that has been done in the the gully since I was last down collecting a cache.

Didn't want to break my geo slump record so needed to get one today before work and this was one of the closest, very nice spot for a cache.
TFTC

Yay went with my little brother Jared

With a souvenir up for grabs today, and it being such a nice day I though I'd get out of the house for a couple of hours and clean up some of the new caches in Hamilton.

Found a few caches down this gully now, thanks for the hide.

Found it

It was very fun!

Love the effort being put in to this project. A quick find for us. Tftc

9.30am - We knew the area from a previous visit, this time we parked on the right side of the gulley. No problems to locate cache. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... Good old Queen Elizabeth, allowing us to have a day off work... We drcided on a mission to Hamilton for the purpose of one puzzle hunt in particular. It seems this one's days are numbered (which is a shame)... But we have other targets too.

We have visited this location before... This time, we took the more civilised steps approach and made a reasonably quick find today. We didn't spy any TB on this visit. TFTC.

I went with my two brothers, and ut was fun and easy to find

Believe you can and you're halfway there

Haha Thanks Miss Frogley! We found it haha -Hayley and Renee xx

Good

Found it but no reachable in this cache?

Good job for hiding it!

Loved Finding it!

Group 4 BNMS found it

Sunday afternoon and chores done so a couple of nearby caches before the rain tftc I think there used to be a cache here a couple of years ago

Found it

I found it last Sunday with the restoration people tftc

Found it

Found it!!!!

Found with 2 mates who are also in the Gully restoration group that comes here on Sundays. Had a great morning of weeding and planting here so cool to see the Gully we're working in has a geocache tftc

While out this way, thought this needed to be found. Have been down here before but it is much improved now. Thanks very much dfrog84

Steed had a caching outing today while I worked, so now I have the homework to complete. We have been to this lovely gully park before to find treasure, this time he was escorted to and from the cache by a friendly piwakawaka.
They seem to be our thing at the moment, it is lucky we aren't superstitious as we have a pair that have taken to flying into and through our home regularly. They are delightfully friendly birds.

Awesome work frogs and nat

Yeehaa!! Our first experience and I think I could turn into a geocache geek!!

Go MAHI TAHI!

Had to come back as some local kids were playing here...nice gully...TFTC

Easy find. In the vicinity.
Don't think yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey.

Team bonding - Aranui

Yay Team Aranui, we rock

Thanks goodness the troll wasn't home...

I spotted this being published last night but as time was getting on and knowing that HKCB are located nearby thought I would leave it.

However woke up this morning and noted that it still hadn't been found (or at least that's what I hoped) so as light came up, with a quick goodbye I was out the door to see if I was going to be lucky. I recognized the area and recall another cache nearby some time ago so it was a quick walk down the track and the cacahe was quickly in hand.
Thanks for the {FTF} and adding to cacahes around hamilton.

Why not, its just the other end of town, so a short drive and a short walk and we had the cache in hand
