I will visit the cache in the next couple of days to check what the situation is now that we have access again.
Finally got around to doing this one! Thanks for servicing it recently- cache is in good condition 
We were out on a mission this afternoon, looking for caches for 7 trackables. This was our third find of the day - Dropped Trackable: Bluebird Proteus CN7 (Blue Racing Car); thanks for the placement, very appreciated.
First find in a couple of years. Nice easy one for the GeoPuppies first cache. Found at 19:00. TFTC.
Went on more of an adventure getting this one than we needed to, with kimbathelion
Longer walk then expected to this cache but once at GZ picked the right place immediately. This cache has been on our radar for a while now so thanks for replacing this.
I was following the GPS coordinates a little bit too closely for this one. Once I took a step back and re-assessed I soon had the cache in hand. tftc
Thought it might be worth a look. But given the location I suspect this has been washed away. Had a good look anyway.
No luck for us either, confident based on description, been a while since last found, maybe others will have better luck
Had a really good look around even after looking at the hint but still came up empty handed. Not sure if it is still here TFTC
Down by the lake, not far from the sea. Llama farmer Palmer hid a great big stash, TFTC
A bit of bush bashing and a few wrong turns and we finally made it to the spot. No marmaduke today
Nice wee hide
Over this way to attend a Event
With KayGeeDee and EyespyBen,on a very Hot day

Find number 6699. Decide to come over the Kaimais with ABCDF4 and eyespyben to attend an event. Spent the time before grabbing a few caches along the way. Nice journey to this one if you are on the right level. A little bush bash and we achieved that. Cache was a lot easier to find. All good here. Thank you for the placement.
Easy find today, we love this little pond - pretty and quiet and often take the dog for a walk along this path back, traded a swappable. TFTC
My family have claimed that I’ve not been spending enough time with them lately. I thought I’d gather up the most vocal and take them out for the day... Let’s do all the things they want to do. We ended up visiting secondhand shops in Tauranga... While everyone was preoccupied, I sneaked away...
We’ve visited this location for caching purposes before. It’s great to re visit and note how things have grown in. A quick find - Thanks Sabas and TFTC.

Another neat spot while out caching ducks came over expecting but we had nothing for them. Cache is all good thanks tftc
I think I took the long way to this one but eventually found my way to GZ.Perfect co ord & knowing a little maori soon had the job done.Thanks Sabas,never been here before but I now know it well.
The last time I was here I was looking for a large bucket cache but the whole area was under development, I got very muddy and it was a DNF!! Not this time though. A very straight forward find here. Cheers Sabas, TFTC

Was dressed for the weather in raincoat and gumboots (this type of weather is for the ducks), having looked at the cache hint, the heart sank a little. Fortunately, on arrival at GZ the hide was soon located and we were off to the next cache. TFTC

Out and about caching between showers. Nice quick find which was a little unexpected given the hint item TFTC.
Found 12.45pm
GPS wandering about here. After checking a few of those plants found it. Hope if any flooding occurs it doesn't wash away. SLTFTC

Quick find here today, never knew this place existed, was rather damp under foot after recent rain. Upon approaching GZ saw and Dreaded Plant, (Dreaded by Geocachers Everywhere!), fortunately for me today the cache was spotted easily. Many Thanks for the Placement.
Was a bored one july afternoon so got the not so small child and took her caching. Was a fun little series to do. Thanks for the cache series. Keep up the good work!!
. Great to see some different cache owners. Well done on these caches all coords and containers good and even though some near playgrounds Cachers shouldn’t too conspicuous. Nice to find these little spots. Now just need some newbies getting FTFs TFTC
Saw this pop up last night but couldn't be bothered rushing out into the rain as I assumed one of the usual suspects would already be on their way. This morning, I noticed there were still no logs. Not that that means much with some local cachers - you know who you are! But I was up early so I thought I'd give it a go. Imagine my surprise when, in the cold morning light, I beheld a clean log. Woohoo. [FTF] 7.45am. Nice hide. Nice location. TFTC.
I saw this alert come but left it to the enthusiastic ones..yep the international tourist was up early and scored the FtF...I was temporarily unavailable to get there...today was nice day and enticed by 2 new release to get out and achieve..thanks sabas.found all good
There were a couple of very good reasons why we should have ditched the family dinner and headed out to get this cache. One being that going for an FTF in the dark and wet would have been preferable to a trip to A&E which happened instead of!!! Today after moping about we decided that sunshine was a good healer. I wasnt happy when I saw the hint item, but a nice find in a peaceful area. Thanks for the cache Sabas.
