Thanks

14. Out doing a new cache and thought I would do this. Quick find.TFTC

It was fun play-full and we put 20 cents and a toy in it

Only one we found today. Thanks

Tftf

Found

Didn't gave a pen to sign. TFTC

Found it with my son

Found it

Great find, took a while TFTC

Took us 10mins but dad got the find kids in second TFTC everything looking good took something and left something

No luck here. To many prickles to contend with

Hard find but we got there

Really hard to find. But we got there!

Great hide and first one on ride down K valley with my daughter now she can ride her bike on her own. Might need a little TLC as not sure if it's in the position it's meant to be, but still a great cache. Thanks very much!

Thanks

Fairly quick find and, after two DNFs, felt relief on finding. Thanks for placing McJandals. Decided to cross the bridge and go further on the other side of the water.

Great find!

Cycleway really busy today, so we had a few chats with passing bikers and walkers. It does amuse me how nobody asks what you are actually up to down there... Cache is all good. TFTC

Ez

Dnf sad

Afternoon ride with my sister. Great hiding spot!

Well hidden. Found on a ride with my sister.

We decided to go for a walk and find a cache as we haven't done any caching for a while such a beautiful day too it took me a while to find this maybe I'm a bit rusty lol but all good tftc

Took a while to find it and heaps of wasps around.

Almost gave up due to wasp nest and blackberry bush . Got there in the end

Nice to get out after work and do this trail on our bikes.
A nice quick find here, felt it more than seeing it. TFTC

Found the bolt with nothing in it. That plus wasp nest and blackberries so be careful. Getting a lil overgrown.

Nice little hikoi

Well this was an interesting find. Found the missing bolt pretty quickly at 11:45 and signed the log. When I saw the dates in the log I searched some more and found the new cache and signed it too. So my first cache for the day was a 2 for 1 I guess you could say. I followed that up with a couple more finds along the cycleway and a bunch of DNFs that I need to come back to another day. TFTC

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. The weather was mostly dry today, a bonus. We cruised around Tauranga and headed north to Wihi Beach.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

found it

**14,336**
Decided to wander along the path to this one, as we were in the area. Nice to be able to enjoy a lovely evening stroll in a relaxing area. was passed by one muggle on a bike and a couple walking their dog and that was the only muggle activity in the area. A nice quick find for Mrs Geckoh at GZ, Mr Geckoh chose the wrong side. TFTC

Nice to come back and grab this and get rid of another DNF. Interestingly the only other name on the actual physical log is Invisible13 - so not sure what’s up with all the previous logs.

GELRA Found

Nice find

Nice find

????

Yay! After several previous attempts we found it!

A shame we didn’t get to find the original camera. Oh well second time round we found it. Another smiley to the collection

Have replaced again. Please hide out of sight

Am away at present. Will check when I get home

A lot of looking but no luck

Despite all the dnf's, thought I'd have a quick look anyway. Only found massive spiders and webs

Had a good look around but couldn't find it

A lot harder than we thought

A good search here today but could find nothing. Plenty of hidey holes but to no avail.

No luck

Awesome hide nice quick search and first one on this trail

Hey it’s me Preston I found another one of your caches. Nice hide

Found replacement log with gf. Thanks for maintaining caches.

My son and I had a rare opportunity to spend the day together without his annoying sisters (his words haha) and with such awsome spring weather we decided to hit the bike track grab some caches

Second try at finding this one and located it pretty easy which made us just feel lame that we didn’t find it first time round lol

TYFTC

Scored!

Bolt gone. Have replaced with different container. Hint BEHIND

We looked everywhere we could and still could not find it

??

Very very sneaky and clever hide. TFTC

Searched around. Will try another day.

Tftc so overt its covert

Loved it

Quick find while out walking, nice cache

Good find it took a while and it’s is very obvious

Number two find for the day and master 6 is getting pretty good at these now. Quick find and kept on with our other hunts

It's obvious that some thought and obvious effort has gone into this obvious cache in an obvious place in an obvious location. Love it when cache finds are so obvious. Of course my log is just as obvious for an obvious cache hide!

TFTObviousC

Tftc nice wee hide

Over this way for the weekend
This one was a very nice hide

Visiting Tauranga for the weekend and staying at an Airbnb which provided bikes. Headed out early to tackle this series. Not too many people about so reasonably undisturbed caching. Spot this one straight away but then dismissed it. Definite favourite from us. TFTC

turning from a trip from Auckland with the Squirrel. Decided to make this unannounced detour to find this one. Quick find. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We stayed overnight with our Huntly friends. In the morning, we decided to take a relaxed ride home, collecting selected hides along the way.

We were almost on the home stretch when Gap pulled a u-turn and squeezed into a space along the roadway. We knew instantly what was ahead... We have been here before and know the layout well - we went straight to where we expected this one to be. Yes, we saw the cache immediately... A quick, well positioned hide. Thanks McJandals and TFTC.

Omg. Found but didn't realize it was the cache. Then read the logs so revisited it & realised what it was. Fave point for innovation. Tftc

Great cache got my self a little injured getting this one, fell on a thorny bush and got my leg stuck between a rock and a hard place. A well deserved smiley face for me.

Once we found this one it was very obvious... but it took a little bit of looking first TFTC

Yeet

Very obvious

Ooh it's obvious

I think! It was obvious but no log book in it. So maybe I didn’t find it even though I’m sure I did!!

Out for a walk to kill time on a beautiful day. A clever wee hide. Almost had an oops when footing moved.

The second hit of our afternoon caching without Mr. The little one takes the credit for this he spotted it, Mrs was a little sceptical but upon further investigation we had the log in hand. We really liked this hide, very clever!

Searched and search - not obvious to us

We got it. One of the best camo, tricky though

That took way longer to find then it should of. Glad the gf has finger nails or I wouldn’t of been able to sign.
Thanks

The extended family abandond us today after being ignored while we wasted the day trying to solve a puzzle. Deciding we needed fresh air we headed out the door and parked a resonable distance away so we could "smell the roses" and appreciate the out doors. Arriving at gz it was good that there was no real cache trail. I am glad we didn't attempt this when all the earth moving machinery was in action as it may have been difficult to explain why two mature people were fumbling around under the bridge!!Macwatts beady eye soon had the nicely crafted cache spied. Thanks for a fun cache Mc Jandals

I remember crawling under this structure some time back to find a cache lol....today was rather straight forward but enjoyable ...while this is not novel camo it is still a good one that should stand the test of time ...I am sure the ferric oxide will not attack it lol thanks McJandals great work here ...I would like to have your stack of Camos.

Great little cache but the CO has obviously got smaller and nimbler fingers than me because I had a hell of a job getting it back into place after I dropped it. Eventually the thimble technique proved the most effective. TFTC and FP.

WOW im shocking. Thought i had already logged this. Was with CO and group after an event. Thanks for the sneeky hide.

I have probably ridden my bike past this a few times now, but never had time to stop.
This eve, we wandered down the highway and headed into GZ. Philip was well lubricated at the time and was being a dick! I was well lubricated also and took more pleasure in climbing along the understructure of the bridge, as the cache find was already in good hands. I reckon you missed a great opportunity to place it midway under the bridge. I enjoyed being there!
Cheers MCJ
TFTC

I was out with the dog this afternoon so thought we would go a bit further than normal and look for this one.
A great cache in a cool area.
Great to see this one here.
TFTC

At an event and realised we all needed to revisit this spot for a replacement cache Took a few minutes to notice the obvious but we got there. TFTC

Quick find here with Teambop.
Tftc

Found it. Well people tell me I’ve found it and I believe the people that told me.

Published

Joint ftf with happy Bogan on my 21st birthday thank u very much

Joint FTF on Zoe Bday. Wasn't expecting to find a clean log. Got to gz few possibilities. Then came up with the sneaky cache. I should read descriptions more thoroughly because I could of really stuff this one up. Lol. But got it sorted in the end. Phew. Thanks for the great start to our day. Tftc
