By nufrat on 30-Sep-17. Waypoint GC7CZWQ

So much time and effort put into creating this masterpiece...well done. Hope to see more of your creations on my travels.

due to some moron stealing this cache it now has to be archived

Awesome, TFTC

Came down to Hamilton to visit the car museum with rustynz and Rebel98 and little blackbird. But also there are caches that need to be sorted and those we choose to do.

rusty made short work of this one, thanks for bringing us here.

Fun find. Log unfurled, so rewrapped for next user. Fun. With rustynz, gorby and little blackbitd

Log later

Parked in the side street, crossing over to the dark side ...... ooooooooonooooowhaaaaatissssssssssssssthissssdanggggggggggggerousthiiiiiiiiiiiing???????????????ruuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn

Fun find, thanks for the hide nufrat

A fun cache which has taken some effort from the c/o. A favourite from me - I’m not arachnophobic! TFTC

Nice easy park and find this time. Love the camo.

Clever and accurate coordinates!

Got a freight when I spotted this one - was a bit wet to

TFTC

Funny cache. I'm sure some wouldn't feel the same way though...

Super easy wonderful cache thank you CO

We parked up the road a bit and Mrs nzk went for a wander to locate this cache. The traffic was quite heavy and fast moving so we thought it safer to cross the road at the pedestrian island. Despite not being particularly arachnophobic, Mrs nzk was still a bit hesitant to search for the log. Thanks nufrat for a fun and creative cache!

Awesome cache!

Very funny. The 2 grand daughters argued as to who would find the log. A bit scared. Tftc

A fairly quick find of a really fun cache, which gets a favourite from us. TFTC

Meanwhile this is my third geocaching-trip to Middle-Earth . I love it! [:X]
And still there are routes and places in this beautiful country that are on the 'discover-me' list and want to be visited and explored.
Day #4:
Today, the red rental-cache-car took me on a 400plus-km-journey southbound from Coopers Beach via Auckland to Hamilton .
Had no idea , that this is the Auckland-Anniversary weekend, leading to the situation that all roads leaving Auckland are heavily congested . Especially southbound to Hamilton, as there is a big Rugby-Event taking place today.
Anyway, after having survived all the traffic-jams , I was happy to visit some geo-treasures in the Hamilton-area - just like this one:
The by far funniest cache today... [:o)] [:o)] - made me shiver and laugh !
Thanks to the owner [:X] for placing this cache and cheers from Germany!

Continued our outback adventure today in the rain. With rain falling down our backs we were determined to find this one. Loved it. Thanks for the hide

Had to head to the dump after completing a pile of yard work this afternoon, so looked for the nearest cache to nab. Hadn’t solved the nearby puzzle, so this was it.
Parked up and headed towards GZ with some expectation of what I would find. Brilliant! What a great job of setting this one up! Only sad part was that I didn’t have the rest of the team with me to share this with! Took some photos to show them & dutifully signed the log. This gets a fave point from us for such a cool setup. TFTC!!!

Thanks nufrat you took me back to Australia with that one. Still shaking love your work TFTC gets a fave

JB, TT & I are on a day-trip to Hamilton specifically to grab the specific geocache I needed to complete **GC5JJ7E 0-100 Cache Challenge** to grab on route to WENZ Mega 2018 later this month.
Also to retry a few DNFs from over the years. And finally, to grab some great caches to qualify for the Caching Connoisseur souvenir. We started the day turning a couple of DNFs into a smileys. But we’ve also scored two more DNFs enroute here.
Then onto the Caching Connoisseur souvenir hunt.
A geocache roadtrip to the Waikato should always include a nufrat cache for its ingenuity.
This was that cache. Very clever all round and deserving of another FP. And with it I earn the Caching Connoisseur souvenir. Love your work nufrat. Keep it up.

Wonder what this creature feeds on to grow so well. Great set up - likely to upset some. Love it - and a favourite. Tftc

Not too sure what I was after, and ,following a short search, was about to give up, when I came across something very unusual.
Proceed with a lot of caution, worked out what was needed and was on my way. Tftc

No idea what I was supposed to be looking for. Nothing looked particularly out of place or out of the normal.

I was looking at the big red herring nearby when I glanced in the right direction and spotted the cache. Upon closer inspection, I could see why some people might have a problem with this one. Very clever construction. You seem to be giving G-2 a run for his money. TFTC.

Loved it. Great cache - wasn’t sure what to expect here and it made me jumped. Bet it brings a smile to many faces TFTC

Knew what I was looking for but not the scale of. Caches like this one make geocaching fun and interesting. Thanks for the creativity and warped design. fp

Out riding my bike around Hamilton, and picking up some caches along the way. Nice hide, very funny, cheers

Log ltr

Having spent the whole day caching and finding many different types 120+ by this point in the day. This cache is the only one epic enough to receive a FP from me.
A quick find and a good laugh we figured out how to sign the log as indicated. TFTC nufrat

Out caching with Team BOPnJAM. The aim of the day was to clear as much of Huntly as possible.
On the way home we headed for "just one more" in Hamilton.
With a day of pretty below average caches , it was a pleasant surprise to find a cache that has had some thought put into it.
Of the 120 or more caches found today this was the only worthy of a fav point from me.
TFTC

Another big trip planned this time in an effort to obtain all the Hidden Creature Souvenirs. Team BOP (Davidson clan, McJandals, Frogybecaching, TNXPro & myself) joined with a couple of Westies (Jag50&Merlot58) to fill up the van and clear Huntly off the caching map Now we're on our way home - head lamps at the ready - cherry picking our way through Hamilton. We signed the logs as BOPnJAM for expedience and to save on log space.

A pretty neat cache this one - something a little interesting and different. Found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a obvious placement. TNLNSL. Cheers nufrat. TFTC.

Tftc

With Hidden Creature souvenirs up for grabs. A plan was hatched with our Westie buddies. We were all ready for a stormy rainy day but the weather gods were good to us today with no rain until getting home at 10pm. A fun day was had by all and many thanks To all the COs for giving us a reason to come here. We had a nice mixture of cache containers, types, DTs and hides. We signed as BOPnJAM to save room on the logs. Please excuse my cut and paste logs in advance due to numbers. Cheers

Went out for a day of geocaching. Scary!

The family offered to take me out for lunch for Mother's Day but I opted for an afternoon walk with a few caches instead. Now on the way back from Rotokauri lake & taking the time to pick up a few more caches that are along the route home. Glad I stopped for this one: wasn't sure what to expect but loved it. Gets a fav from me too. Log signed in place, thanks for the cache.

I decided to call in here with my two eldest boys on our way to Extreme Edge Indoor Rock climbing. They spotted it first but weren't to sure of what they had found. I looked a little closer and showed them what they had missed. A great, fun cache for young and old. I think I managed to fix the log holder someone thought may have been broken. Gets a fav from me.

Very clever hide! Missed it the first look around . TFTC

Went for the obvious object, nothing there - funny that, had walked by it on the way in. Love the well themed cache, but sadly the log holder has been broken.

Wow !
11pm was a good time to get this .....gave me a fright alright!
Genius !
Thanks heaps Nufrat....that's 2 terrific camos from you today !

Lol, not at all what i expected! Very cool. Thanks for placing, a fave

Tftc haha interesting choice of hiding, was thinking small but

Fun hide - I love that 1000s of cars go past every day, and don't know that there's a redback nearby. Thanks for the cache.

As soon as I saw the netty I knew what to expect but, horror of horrors, the paper's nearly finished! TFTC. FP.

Well done on the construction of this one, very unique and easily done at 2.30 am.
TFTC

Located quickly. TFTC

Well look at that, giving a favourite point just for the effort of making the cache, thanks for the placement

Can you believe it? I nearly missed seeing this one! Thanks.

Trying to keep up my streak of finding at least one cache a day so popped out after dinner today while the sun was still up. Had a DNF at a different location so came here to find this one and am glad that I did - had a big laugh at GZ and another when I found the log. Have to give a favourite point to a cache that made me smile and to appreciate the effort that has gone into a cache like this. Thanks very much for the hide

This was a fun one. We let Pimousse find it as we guessed there would be quite a reaction and there was. Thanks for the effort in placing this cache. Gave us a few laughs.

Hahahaha. Was what I was expecting. Very good cache. Yes we did smile. Lol merry christmas. tftc

Haha...Love it...knew it would be something different because of the comments...favourite from me. Tftc

It's been a long time since I've been able to head out a find a few caches due to work and family commitments so finally managed to get a few hours to myself and head out and take a chunk out of the new caches list in and around Hamilton, as it was getting rather large.

Not quite what I was thinking this cache was about, but love the effort put into the hide. Fav point for the effort.

TFTC, fantastic is all I can say!

Nice wee hide

Very different still nice and dry thanks

A wet Sunday and no one about to see me get this so I could park real close tftc

Love it my son found it and ran away with a fright . So funny sceard the shit out of him hahaha

nice to find a shitty cache thx. fav point and made meeeee laugh.

she is back, please be gentle with her

Out today and on the way to get some groceries and remembered this cache was nearby (probably should have gone for the ftf but too lazy!)

I had sharkboy with me and so I bribed him with a donut if he could find this cache. I stood back and let him make the find and he was thoroughly impressed. He has a similar one at home that he likes to prank me with.

Had to look around to find the log and found the log holder on the ground and soon figured out how it should have been. Very interesting idea!

Thanks for the great hide... and now I have to go buy someone a donut.

due to someone being rough and not reading the cache page, this cache is back home to be fixed

Great cache but needs some repairs, think the red back didn't like it's placement but this gets a fav. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)...

After a successful swoop through the Eyes puzzles, we looked around for any other caches that needed a visit... There just didn't seem to be enough clues about this one, and we spent a little bit of time looking at the more obvious structures at ground zone. It wasn't until we turned to leave and we spotted it.

"Is that a....? Really!" That set up was worth a laugh in itself. We found the log quickly. It seems that the wet weather has helped it to detach. On the way back to the car, we checked to see which CO owned this. Should have known - the Queen of Quirkiness! Definitely worth a favourite point... TFTC.

Was quite impressed with the effort put in to the construction and the unique styling

Grabbed on the way to work but reckon that I had been beaten by a good thirty minutes, still the coffee nearby was worth the effort in getting the cache

thank you for the placement

Saw this cache come up and only just over a Km away and I was off work so no choice but to go find. It was a bit wet and I got drenched with all the foliage being wet. Well then the fun begins finding the cache was not so bad but the log sheet was another matter. After a few mins it dawned on me what I had to do. Very ingenious. Worth a favourite point from me. Well done and TFTC for another FTF

Cache number 3508 and day 108 of my current streak. This one appeared after I had just got into bed. As I had my cache for the day I decided to leave it for another day. Awoke just after midnight and checked and saw no logs so decided to go and have a look. The weather was crap but thankfully it did not take long to find. I was disappointed to see a name on the log that was not dated or times so I was unsure on by how much I had been beaten by for the FTF. Signed it and then went on to another that was out of town where I did manage my October FTF. Thank you for the placement.
