Again, nearby parking impossible due to invisible roadworks. Took a few moments to extract from hiding place but quickly had the find. Tftc.
Nice little hide here that Mr b spotted straight away.Thank you GENERAL G-2 for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 5228
Wandered along to gind this one. Easily spotted but had to hold my mouth right to get at it. Nicely hidden. [TFTC]
I got the cache, easy thanks but now I am a drowned rat, so much for no rain lol, tftc
As luck would have it the property owner returned just upon arrival at GZ so had to mill around for a while before attempting retrieval. All good here, neat placing
For the palindromic find count of 3993 it seems only fitting that this palindromic cache hide was the next on the agenda.
Logged in attendance for the neutral west island overseas territory (the big one with the giant hopping rats)
War placement discovering saturation in mid swing now. Heading eastwards to rally more troops.
Salute for the General!

Excellent camo! Clearing out my local suburb for a challenge cache, so this was perfect for it. Ngā mihi. TFTC
Great cano on this, totally overlooked it on arrival & started searching the ground in vane.

These battle-weary cachers were very grateful of this nice quick find. It is not long now until we must begin the long march home. Thank you for these fun cache hides. TFTC

I was a bit nervous about this one because of its proximity to houses and the busy road, but I did it anyway. I spotted the cache as I was walking towards GZ, so didn't need to mess around with looking for it, just waited until it was clear, jumped in and retrieved the log, waited around some more and then put it back. Thanks for another one General G-2!!
After grabbing the caches I needed for the day, I decided to take a different route back and grab the caches along these road. I spotted this one right away, but it was a little harder to get the log due to the space I had to remove the lid. A clever hide, one of the best uses I have seen for this type of cache. Thanks for the cache. #1254
A very nice end of a fence, spotted it straight away, just had a bit of a struggle extracting.
Parked and grabbed whilst raiding through this new area to my caching exploits.
My sole 'job' today was to go and get the gas bottle filled and with no nearby options Google directed me to Triangle Road for a trip. Turns out that wasn't right so diverted to Lincoln Road and that was just the thing. Whilst in the area I vowed to pick up some local hides from supernannny and some other nearby ones before heading to the end of Te Atatu peninsula for a first taster out there of a couple. The rain came and went and I snaffled the Waikumete Soldier Adventure labs too whilst 'nearby'. A good day for caching, thanks all COs.

Today was a dot day so I had a look for a cache of value to find and I spotted one on the peninsula that was hidden on a date I hadn't found so I picked that and a few near by caches for this afternoon's mission.
Getting close to the cache I saw a likely hide and sure enough it was it. It's very well done!

Cute cache, found really fast, busy road so watch for muggles. Thanks for the cache.
Carried on our walk and crossed back to the other side of the road.On approach to the gz we spotted something so knew where to look.It was nicely hidden but a quick find.
Find number 6214. I had intentions of coming up to Te Atatu last Friday but the possibility of 12 FTF got in the way. So today it was. In order to not get caught in the traffic on the Southern motorway I left Hamilton at 4 am. Flew through and arrived just as the sun was rising. A couple of caches before breakfast. Then it was a day on the bike clearing as many as possible in the area (56) before enjoying Fish n Chips while waiting for the evening traffic jam to pass. Finally getting home at 9 pm. Tired but happy with my day.
Defence is often a good form of attack. G-2 may be riding south but KGD has ridden north. Thank you for the placement.

I started looking on the wrong side of the road for this one. Soon checked my phone and headed over to make a quick find. TFTC
After a good start to the day with the event in Henderson, decided to head to Te Atatu get a few more smileys. Quite satisfying to make such a quick find on a cache when we weren't sure if it was when we pulled up here. SL. TFTC.
A nice quick find today.
Up in Auckland visiting family and I have a few spare hours. The Te Atatu North (as it was once called) battlefield beckoned so I headed over to try and make peace, or at least get a few smileys!!
Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Number 18 for today. This one had a very accurate hint, I laughed at myself for overcomplicating the search initially. TFTC!
With part of Team BOP - (Mr) Davidson clan, McJandals, and NZFlossy... All logs were signed RoT - Rotorua or Tauranga. We have been planning this mini raid of Auckland for a short time. We have discovered that we need a small push to kick onto our next milestone. Hopefully, this weekend's haul of caches will bring us a little closer...
We decided to focus much of our attention on Te Atatu this weekend. The sheer number of caches, the walkability factor, and the rumor of some high quality caches sounded appealing... We also agreed to stay together on the trail rather than split up - This proved to be a good idea considering the reputation and hiding prowess of the COs in this area. Four pairs of eyes didn't miss much...
We spotted this one on arrival - A cacher's eyes are tuned to spot what doesn't belong (That's what we think, most times). This is another really good urban hide. Thanks General G2 and TFTC.

In Auckland for a weekend of caching with Squirrel nutcase McJandals and Nzflossy. Signed Team RoT.

On an Auckland adventure with three other BOP cachers. An early start with lots of fun and a night in the big smoke. I don’t venture up here very often but we were on a mission. Thanks to the COs for some great caches Signed as Team ROTTFTC
