Hmm a bit disappointing here. After previous easy finds this was nowhere in sight. Talked to a previous finder and I suspect that this one has gone AWOL - and it hasn’t been found for several months although no other dnf’s have been logged Time will tell....
On a drive to my parents we did a quick stop to grab this cache. Nice garden view across the road. Thanks
#505. Set off on a Saturday morning run through some Tamahere / Hautapu caches. I have never seen / noticed this garden before. Interesting that there's not too much noise from the expressway, perhaps it was a quiet morning. TFTH.
#320. Quick stop on way home. Added a strip of log paper -should probably stay dry. I agree -end it. Tftc.
Quick find. Always good to have one a bit easier . Had a great day out with family. Thanks
I love these end of fence ones lol. Nice and quick, no traffic around at all. Tftc
With a break in the weather the only thing I really had to do today was geocache. I had no plans so enlisted TNXPro and Squirrelnutcase to search for a worthy adventure. What no one knew at the time was this adventure would span 21 hours, cover 3 regions and we'd have Davidson clan join us at the half way point. A crazy day but there's no denying - it's a lot more fun with friends!
I had a bit of fun with this one when I was all but certain I'd found the cache in a fake boundary peg... but it wasn't fake and as luck would have it we had a surveyor with us who rattled on about the legalities of blah blah blah before finding the actual cache. Thank god the boundary police weren't here LOL, Cheers 11hpg11, TFTC

The weather was looking perfect for a caching trip, so myself, Philip.Perry and Squirrel.Nutcase hatched a plan to hit the Waikato area to try clear Squirrels map.
I had run a PQ and still had 701 caches to find within 30km of Hamilton, so I pretty much was up for anything today and we stopped at mnany others on the way to fill his map.
This should have been a quick stop to find and replace the cache, but P.P must have had a brain fart or something and came back to the car with a plastic survey boundary peg in hand, asking me how to remove the cap. As a surveyor, I knew how to, but I also knew they werent supposed to, and I knew that removing a boundary peg is illegal, so I told him, they dont come off and it wont be the cache, despite the rattle it had inside the cap.
I replaced the peg in its original vertical hole at the end of the fence and immediately laid my hand on the actual cache, right where the hint says it is.
It made for an interesting discussion thereafter about how I should place a cache using a survey peg, but I know that it could lead to all sorts of legal repercussions if placed in the wrong place. Maybe I will think about it...
Anyway, thanks for bringing me here to these now back roads.

Why is it that every time I stop to grab a cache it begins to rain ...Murphy..all good thanks 1hgp11
Life must have changed for the better for the residents around here once the expressway was finished. Thanks for the placement 11hpg11
Figured out the road for this cache and it was another quick park and grab along the way. Nice and quiet around here and nice to get off the main roads. TFTC
Visited after the Tamahere market. No garden tours today. No problems. Thanks very much 11hpg11
Out and about on a cold frosty morning but that's what you do instead of having a sleep in. Quick find. Tftc.
Whew, I thought I'd never find a place to finally get to the other side of the expressway. And then I find a cache to boot! Yay!
The travelling fox is happy =^,^=

Quick park and grab here. Just driving and geocaching with no actual plan. Lol tftc
Time for a drive around the block. There have been a few new caches since I was last around here, a nice quick find before some cyclists zipped passed.
Found on a long weekend up in the Waikato, with family, friends, and caching. Ticks all my boxes!!
Thanks to all of the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Parked the car at the Tamahere church and cycled from there to get the five caches on the west side of the expressway, This was number two and a nice quick find.

Our 50th. cache... thanks. Little container keeping log safe and dry. We dried inside of outer container and left a small treasure for another child then sat in the car for ages waiting for downpour to ease. Great liquid sunshine 
Its Been a while and now its time to catch up on all the logging that I've put off to a rainy day (while it may not be raining, where we were heading the roads are still closed hence sitting here doing this).
Thought that I should be doing a bit of a clean up around Hamilton and will admit that following the tomtom was not the best way to get there but rather eventually made it after a spot of trial and error. Very interesting to see how the roads have altered with the advent of the expressway and also what were quite busy roads have become quiet roads.
Thanks for the Cache, thanks for the Placement

8.45am - Trip to Auckland with the Squirrel and a couple of new cachers on board with us. No real plans but with one multi cache in mind. With this ticked off it was just a day of increasing our cache numbers. A good with some interesting cache hides with a couple needing needing repairs and a couple of misses. Thanks to all the cache owners for todays trip. SLTFTC
I had 7 caches lined up for today as it wasn't raining. Hubby said he would bike with me. It is so much nicer having company as we cycled around the roads either side of the expressway. We visited friends once I had found the 7 caches. 7 smiles 
. #4. Made sure I read the hints properly. Another easy find. TFTC.

Wasn't really tired at 10pm so thought I'd go for a drive and collect the caches in this patch. Shouldn't be too hard with the cover of darkness 
Too dark for looking at any gardens, but an ideal time for caching 
TFTC 11hpg11, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 2 finds of 7 today, making this find #1560

This is our first time travelling through Cambridge in a while... It's surprising how much the Expressway has changed this area. The new road has effectively cut rural communities in half. We like that it has created lots of new opportunities to hide caches, and we're pleased that someone is making use of these newly formed dead end roads... A quick find here. TFTC.

2842 After a trip to Te A decided to do the round trip. Wasn't able to try for FTF as I was moving daughter from Dargaville to Waiuku when these were published. Nice to tick a new one off. The cockroach came with me to the car when he jumped ship. So begs the question. Why did the cockroach cross the road. Cause he was attached to a cache. Well done Kiwis69 on your FTF.
Heading home from a caching mission South of Rotorua when the alert for some new caches near home were published, so decided to grab them on the way home. No problem with the find, however were beaten well and truly by Kiwis69 for the FTF, great to see you back out and about. A very cool garden here, but it does look like way to much work to keep that maintained, when would you find the time to go caching!!! Thanks for the hide.
Yep, nice and quiet here on a Sunday afternoon. Was traveling back from Rotorua with 2 other caches, and they couldn't resist stopping for this one - being so new.
Woo hoo! Another lovely FTF today
The notifications came through that 5 new local-ish caches had been published this afternoon. A quick look at the map showed they were spread out across town. It crossed my mind that the FTF hounds might be busy chasing somewhere else so, spur of the moment, decided to make a dash for those closest to home. Pulled up, no cars parked nearby (looking promising), great co-ords & hint so it was a nice easy find and pleased to see a nice blank log book & a {FTF}. Had to remove a friendly cockroach that had taken up residence on top of the cache container - bet he wasn't there at placement lol !!! Thanks for the cache placement
