Having dropped Mrs msc_20 off for dinner with friends I took a wee pootle to find a couple of caches before darkness fell. As I pulled up at the GZ I had an inkling of where I might need to look. Spot on. Thanks eyespybenFind #5421Found using Cachlymsc_20, formerly caching as msebn
Bruhh looked for this cache last month and couldn’t find it nowhere. But we come back today and it was right there, Weird!!!
Here nice and early for a drive by. The sound of the grain silos made quite a noise here. Tftc
A caching calendar dot day where I needed gas. Pass here weekly and have finally collected. Thanks for the smilie.
We are heading south to our Waikato base this afternoon and finding a few caches along the way, or in some cases, somewhat out of the way. We parked close beside GZ and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks.
While Albert was filling the car with gas, Albany grabbed the cache. TFTC
On our way back from Port Waikato and MrNZT wasnt happy about finishing our cache count on 9, we need a nice round number to finish- he said! Therefore we made one more stop down this road to get our 10th cache for the day. Now on to home as we were all getting quite hungry after a big afternoon!. TFTC!
A nice quick find thanks. First of several no diggy caches today.
Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Today we did a little cruising around to the Franklin area. Will this long hot summer never end?
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Out and about with cragger, laval and B4Dawn. Had planned a nice walk but the weather was not playing ball so we decided some drive by caches would be a better option.
We were quite wet by this stage and then the pen didn't work on wet paper but that didn't stop us from trying another - we HAD to get this one - it was B4Dawn's #100!! Woop woop
Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with the elder Future Finder for a drive in the country and along the west coast. A fine if cool day for it. Of course, we stopped for some hides along the way. We parked up nice and close to GZ and I made an instant find in the first place I checked. Like kiwiscot I noted the cheaper fuel price across the road and decided to fill up too. Though I collected the three other, nearby, hides in this series first. Cheers for the cache placement!
Down this way for a funeral of a friend. Arrived early so decided to have a wander around. Managed to pick up a cache or 2 before enjoying a quick lunch in town. Seems like we are now in the Waikato and the petrol is a little cheaper. Took the opportunity to fill up across the road before making the quick find here. All good. TFTC 
I had to head out this way to clean out the son's car after he wrote it off yesterday so took the chance to pick up a few caches. These were all straight forward finds. TFTC
On a girls' road trip to Port Waikato with Supernanny, Nette1234 and Jag50. These were a nice series of quick park and grabs along the way through Tuakau
Heading to Port Waikato with Merlot58, Supernanny and Nette1234 for the day, we detoured to collect this series of caches. We appreciated the maintenance that had recently been done on these caches as the caches were in excellent condition. Quick find here. TFTC
Quick park and grab. Mind the traffic. Log dry unfortunately we didn't have a writing stick. Thank you
Found while on a trip north with tmann421.

These four DB4YDs came out while I was busy with other things. I had some time today, so I zipped down to clear the area. TFTC.

I was minding my own business when I get a call from FMZ about 2 new caches out of Auckland. I really wasn't going to bother but he offered to pick me up since I had an issue with my car's muffler. So off we went in the cold wet weather in the dark, didn't take long to get here and we had much to talk about since we're heading off to Chicago in a few days. Another one in this series completed, cheers eyespyben.
Another nice quick find here with Gorby. This one we could park right next to so used the car to keep things dry while logging. TFTC!!!
It was time to come and check on a few of my caches out this way and I just couldn't resist locating and signing others that had been placed since I was last here.
Cheers for the cache.

With the new Geoart that popped up in the Karaka area I knew a mission was going to be planned soon, and sure enough one was organised a few days later. All that was left was to work the way through the puzzles, which by itself was a lot of fun.
Having teamed up with Cats&Dragons and 11HPG11, a night mission was on as it was the only time we had available on short notice and also the traffic is much quieter when the moon is up. Leaving Hamilton just after 7pm we started caching a little after 8pm with the last find about 1.30am, with 72 finds and a couple of DNF's.

Decided it was time to break the geocaching dry spell I have been having, and head out on a Friday night adventure. Teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to try and knock off some crayons and collect a few others along the way. Logs signed as HOAC to save room. A great night out and relatively few muggles out at this hour which made hunting easier. A busy week with work and a touch of puzzle solving meant we called it quits and were home in bed before the sun came up.
A quick find here while we started to make our way back towards Hamilton

Headed out late on Friday night to work our collective way through these caches in the company of HKCB & 11HPG11, so really it was a fairly late start, but the advantage of that was to work the area without having to worry excessively about other vehicles and too many muggles in the area.
Not a bad evening with a total number of 72 caches located, many quiet roads and lots of laughs. As we had all had a hard week we were needlessly to say pretty knackered by the time we made it back to Hamilton.
Following the "Crayola Series" it was a case of grabbing the last few along here to wrap the night up
Thanks to the CO's for all their effort and the hours of fun
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache.
