Quick and easy, TFTC!

Cach was missing so replaced it all good

Still repairing it

will get up and have a look see at this one and see if i can fix it or move t o another spot.

Cache probably lost due to post being knocked down, and given its small size. Maintenance required.

Maintenance required

Post is knocked over

Road works meant we couldnt get to it

I found the right spot but there was no sign of the cache.

Easy find !!

A lot of muggles today

Same type of place

I thought this one might be missing but it looks like the cache has since been replaced after coming out second best with a car.

Quick park and find heading toward pokeno. Tftc

Done a check yesterday and was gone so replaced it all good to go

Cache still isn't back

Looks like someone hit the pole and now we can't find the cache

cache location appears to have been struck by a car

Pretty sure it’s been taken or knocked out because the pole is hella bent

Missing cache replaced today all good to go.

I did not find it

No luck here, pole still squished ‍

No luck here. The gas line marker pole has been bent over and the top squashed out of shape.

Quick find but dangerous. Cache location had been taken out by a truck.

Decided to take the geohound to Port Waikato for the afternoon as it was a glorious Autumn day. Of course we couldn't pass up a few easy park and grabs along the way! We were onto the hide location smartly. TFTC!

A nice quick find here on our way to Auckland. TFTC

Busy road. Quick find. Tftc

Just the other side of the fence and the road from the Longkeepers. Tftc

A nice quick find thanks. And yet another no diggy cache 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.

Easy fine ttfc

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.

Quick find.

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 near GZ and I executed a super quick find in the obvious spot. Cheers for the cache placement!

Continuing on my caching trip. Day 2. TFTC eyespyben.

Busy road quick find. Tftc

Not a good time to stop along this road. Very busy with cars going home from work, But got the job done. 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

a nice quick find on a New Years cache hunt

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

A day out with the girls.
Quick find.

Another great park and grab. Log dry unfortunately we didn't have a writing stick.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... It’s been a long time since we’ve done some strenuous walking... and today made it blatantly clear - We are unfit.

Have been meaning to visit this hide sooner... A quick find following a well established pattern. Thanks eyespyben and TFTC.

Done a check today all good

Hmmm do I really need to look at the hint. Lol!! Tftc

Good find

A well known hide, so a quick find. TFTC

another quick find this morning, tftc

A great series to find as they don't involve much looking but also a good test in stealth as this is quite a busy road with suspicious locals. TFTC.

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

Down from West Auckland to make an attempt for {FTF} on this cache and lucky us, we did just that! I'm surprised there's so many of these round thingies every where. Damn rain though, but I did bring my gummies though in preparation. Good to be back in FMZ's warm vehicle. So jointy ftf for me and him, cheers eyespyben for the cache.

FTF#561

Headed down here for a night time drive with Gorby to check out a couple of new caches. The rain seemed to be holding off as we made our way along the road to this one, at which we actually got the correct side of the road this time hehe. Nice quick find here as well and another joint [FTF] TFTC!!!

#985. Like the other one just down the road, I'd just flown in from Melbourne and driven here. I saw that I wasn't FTF on the one down the road so suspected the same here, and yes, there's FMZ and Gorby snuck in before me!

I'm determined to get an FTF at some point this month. This time last month I had over 20 already. Must be all the bad weather, nobody is placing any caches...

On the way out I had a look at similar locations around to see if I could spot any unpublished caches. My search in that regard was unsuccessful

2TF here again. Thanks very much for the cache!

{FTF} with FMZ, log later
