X "Markham" the spot! Auckland (Cache 2) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By TeamCacheventures on 17-Jun-18. Waypoint GC7RAFF

**This Geocache has been Closed for Maintenance**

Hello Cachers,
As this cache was just replaced, and then had some DNF’s, we decided to check.
Some of our team were on a Bike Ride and decided to check it since it was on the way.
Sadly the container again was gone ??
This is the 3rd time now so we believe it is time to replace the cache.
Sorry for the inconvenience everybody.

**We have decided to Archive this cache as it has been on the map for 1 and a half years and we need to rethink the way that this cache is hidden. We are looking forward to the new cache here and we hope you are too**

Thank You to all of the Cachers who have found this cache ??

Regards,

Didnt find try again some day

Couldn't find it not quite sure where to look. Tree at GZ had the appropriate hole which we checked but looking at CO comment replaced in new safe place plus new hint tried other trees as well.

Replaced In a new safe place.
HINT: Dont bark up the wrong tree!

All fixed.
Safe and Happy...

This should of been an easy find we looked where we think it should of been but no luck today.

Hello.
As this geocache has had 2 fails, I am assuming it has gone missing.
I will disable this cache when someone sends me a message to say they looked and failed it.
Sorry if you have failed this geocache.
Thanks.

As said in last note, Cache has now been disabled as someone has messaged through to say they Couldn’t Find.
Will check on it soon.

Is it possible it has fallen to far down???

On the way up to Musick Point to take a look around and grab a couple of caches so stopped by here to take a quick look for this one too. Missed on the first pass around the hiding area but understood what was meant by the hint on the second look. A van was parked nearby with a couple of folks in it so I had to be careful to retrieve the cache as surreptitiously as possible.

Signed in with no trouble and dropped back into place as found. Thanks for the cache, all fine here.

Found it on the way back from Musick Point Radio Group. Nice and easy. TFTC

Second find for my new friends today! They’re absolutely hooked, nice and easy find.

This morning we went over to Bucklands Beach for a nice stroll, a coffee and some caches. We could see this one sitting out there, so after the find we hide it where we think - according tot the hint - it suposed to be...

Reached into the wrong hole at first - TFTC

Great location. Enjoyed looking for it

Great hide. Threw me off a bit

A fairly easy find, although we were initially misled by what we thought was the most obvious spot. Nil muggles made for an easy search. Saw some monarch butterflies en route was well. TFTC

Nice deep hole.

Last one for today, before I head back into the city, TFTC

Tftc good hide, Mr 8 found this one

Tftc. Well hidden. I've done caches like that myself.

Easy find with ShaggyShane. TFTC

Easy find, very nice. Found after the kids enjoyed a sailing course for beginners. It's so nice here. Very enjoyable. Found together with Greenkiwikids and signed as "Team Piraten".

Out on a bike ride in the area. This cache has popped up since I was through here last. TFTC.

Nice easy find TFTC

Thanks Cacheventures:) nice to get this with you

Easy find!

Very nice. The abyss was interesting.

Out for a cycle ride. TFTC

Easy find tftc

Too small to place trackable inside. Found

Good quick find. TFTC

Needed to fill in time this morning while waiting on a client. Quick find.

Nice easy park and grab. Grabbed on the way home. Tftc

Had first tried Stairway to Heaven but too many fisherman muggles there. But this one made an easy find, once the slow walkers had shuffled past. Signed and rehid, all good here. TFTC

Found today with the help of TwigNZ, TFTC

Thanks!

This was a dot day and a nice close cache to home. Luckily it was a nice quick find, TFTC!

I was in the area for an event and to collect the final of a multi that I've been working on for three and a half years.

Even though one of the neighbours was working on a garage reorganisation it was a quick and surreptitious retrieve, move away, sign and replace. All good.

Thanks for the cache Cacheadventures.

Out with CODEHill clearing up a few odd caches. Bird found this one. TFTC

Super quick find! Number three of the afternoon, two with PhilBirdBoys after a walk around Musick Point. Tftc.

An easy find as the cache was quite exposed

We met up with Merlot58 and Aiden29 for some caching out East Auckland before attending the Annual Geocaching Quiz. Cache was quickly found out in the open.

Had plans to meet up with Merlot58 and Jag50 for some caching out East Auckland before heading to the Annual Quiz. This was quickly spotted as the colour of the lid stood out.

Miss Davieland jumped out of the car and quickly found this one. Nice quiet day so not many people around. TFTC.

Very easy to spot this one, parked a little past the cache and spotted it as I approached.

The tee is an old looking one

Thx quite hard tho

I'm back in Auckland for the weekend, and the weather looks far too dodgy for me to try to go too far from where I am staying in Pakuranga, so thought I would have another go at some of the local ones that I had failed to find on previous visits.

I had just succeeded in finding a cache at Musick Point that I had previously failed to find, and I knew that I would have a crack at this one as I don't often get over here so always want to make the most of it.

I parked right next to where GZ was indicated, and immediately saw roughly where the cache would be. A quick look around and then I spotted it. The only problem I had was a muggle at the nearby Bus Stop who seemed intrigued with my antics. So I had to wait a bit before grabbing the container, after which it was quickly signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the placement.

I knew that I was going to have a really pressured day at work today as we are running a youth camp this weekend... and so I needed a cache that would be easy to find to help me keep my daily geo-streak alive. So I was hoping that this one would provide that service for me and it didn't disappoint. When I arrived here early this morning I had the whole place to myself and it took me about 20 seconds to locate. So the log ha been signed and the cache is back in its spot all ready for the next finder. So thank you Cacheventures for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so.

Yay !
Was a long drive from home but nice to find a newish cache!
Than you cacheventures
Thought I could use some of my new geo tools here ...but no....was easier than I first thought!

I looked for some time in the biggest possibility, but didn't find the cache until I looked around a bit. TFTC.

Had a day's caching with Ryan today and wanted to try and find as many as we could in this area. No problems in locating the cache. Thanks

Was looking down the most obvious place and even put my hand down into a cobweb thinking it must be there. Upon second inspection I found it right away. TFTC

The sun was setting but we had just enough time to look for one more cache and decided this one would be it.
It was almost dark when we arrived at GZ but there were still a lot of residents around so stealth was important.
We initially looked in the wrong place and came up with nothing but a slight change of focus soon gave us what we wanted.
Thanks Cacheventures for a nice hide.

Out walking early so stopped by to grab this cache. Nice quick find. TFTC

A nice pleasent day, able to knock off a few caches and take a few nice walks without the weather catching us out

Lovely afternoon for a nice quick park and grab near to home. I'm the sevond one today.

Made a big detour on my way to work this morning to come here to grab the STF. Did not like the clue and what it was suggesting but quickly found the cache anyway. TFTC on Streak Day #532

It was just getting to the end of Mr. Kiwi's shift at work and the notification comes in for a new cache. A quick look and it is not far from home at all. So a quick call to Mrs. Liver Bird and LordCacher08 and we head on over to GZ from our respective locations. On the way we were treated to a lovely sunset of orange and purples as the sun continued on it's evening decent.

Mrs. Liver Bird and LordCacher08 were first at GZ and were busy searching when Mr. Kiwi turned up on the scene. A little poking around at GZ and we didn't come up with the goods. We decided to head back to the car to rethink our strategy as a muggle walking his dog was approaching.

As we were leaving for the car, Mr. Kiwi just put his hand in another spot at GZ before the muggle arrived and felt something that was promising. Upon pulling it out, it was indeed the cache. Continuing with the plan to walk back to the car, we did so but this time with a different mission, to check the log and sign it. The container was opened and log unfurled to reveal that it was blank. Yeah, another {FTF}.

The log was dutifully signed and replaced before the short walk back to GZ to replace the log.

Cache #482

Joint FTF with LiverKiwi

We were on our way home when the phone rang and it was Mr LiverKiwi saying a new cache had been published and it wasn't far away. Mum (Mrs LiverKiwi) said we would meet him there, so off we went. We got stuck behind lots of slow cars!!!

We arrived at GZ and started searching when we saw Dad's car arrive and he came to join in the search. After a quick search we had the cache in hand. The reception was hit and miss in this spot, so had trouble trying to log the FTF when we first got it, although the GPS was fine on the phone to put us in the right place.

Thanks so much for this cache.
