Tftc.

Luckly it stopped raining, quick and easy find thanks for the cache

The kids wanted to go and test some fragrances at farmers not at all my idea of fun so I left them behind and looked for the closest geocache. I crossed the train tracks to get to this spot, nice sculpture near gz. TFTC

Me and my partner went on a race to find it super fun and easy. I did lead her in the wrong direction so I could find it first lol

Thanks for an awesome start to our hunting day.Have placed gift for the next adventurers.

Replacement cache

We were in the area so stopped off to have a look but no joy. There was evidence of some swap items on the ground.

No luck for me here

Looked for a bit

Had a good look for this with jtp2001 and project_scorch, and couldn't locate anything within the hint object (including the other hint object nearby).

I was a nice and easy find

Brilliant

Turned up. Happened to run into a couple of other hunters. Exchanged stories and had quite a bit of fun.

Sick

Sunny day today in Hamilton. No one around this morning for an easy find.

Super fun,doing

Nice little cache

Yup

Nice easy place

very easy

Brisk walk across to the cache from the base. Haven't been here in a long time, so it was interesting to see all the changes. Wasn't busy so was able to quickly locate the cache. TFTC

Nice quick walk over from the base tyvm

Nice and easy find with only a couple people near by. Found with Chris.t

Nice and quiet here today.tftc

Continuing along here this afternoon on my bike, nice and quiet with no muggles around and a quick find here before heading over to also grab the nearby lab cache waypoint, TFTC

Under the seat with a magnet

Quick find tftc

Kiwitrecker1 and I headed down to this location on a round trip aboard a heritage train. We spent a few hours visiting the local sites and grabbed this one just before boarding for the return journey. Great to have a cache here, thanks for placing it!

didn't have a pen but it's a first cache for a begginer. TFTC

There was only one muggle about when i arrived. Once he'd moved on it was a nice quick find. Phew! Nice to finally knock this one off.
Thanks for replacing it.

New spot which is less likely to be muggled. New cache placed here today.

Third time looking but still no luck

A late night find here with jagersmum, which was good as the place was almost deserted and that made it very easy to spot and grab the cache. TFTC!!!

We are spending a few days at our Godonton get-away, and wanted to increase our find numbers for today's date, so headed over to the north-west of Hamilton. Pretty sure we attempted to find this one last year without success. Today one of us spotted it on approach in a slightly different location to where we searched last time. TFTC

Second time I've tried finding this elusive cache. Hopefully better luck next time!

Heading back into the city from Lake Rotokauri for some caching and to walk The Jäger, we decided to drop by and find this cache. It was very quiet in the area but there was a car parked right in front. We had to wait for a while before launching the search. Alas, after a fe mins, the cache was on hand. Thank you for the placement.

Nice and easy find.
Thanks for the hide

A very sneaky spot but thanks to public holidays it was deserted. A quick retrieve and we are on our way

Log is a little soggy but still usable

Found this one with novalightning. I am logging with my dad.

Out for a big day of caching with tramyard and our driver Mrs Jag50. It has been a fun morning so far and many ad labs have fallen by the way. There is a wp here at this bus terminal and the next thing I know tramyard shows me a cache - this cache! only meters from the wp!

Thanks for the hide Chemrox.

Well that’s a wrap. Day 7 of our holiday and today we head home. Thanks for placing, I came up trumps with this one.

Our last day of our week long holdiay and our last cache too (apart from the Ad Lab we are doing on our way out of town We have travelled from Taranaki to Whangamata to Hamilton to Hobbiton and back to Hamilton. And we’ve had the best fun! Geocaching was our tour guide. We found 140 caches including 7 Ad Labs so now I’ve caught up on my washing I’ve got time to sit down and log this. We found this one after shopping at the base all morning and into the early arvo. Mr Muggle was weary but accomodating in driving me to this cache before we left. GigiEV spotted this one for me but left me to do the signing. She wanted to ohh and arrr over her shopping in the car. TFTC

By reading previous log this hide did not look good but there was a suprise at GZ as this cache was recently kindly repalced by Geckoh! I was in the area to pick-up last waypoint for Te Hiua Adventure Lab by MCC.

Hamilton - Morrinsville road trip on wet Sunday.

I`m logging this cache as my 9905 find.
TFTC Chemrox!

We were in the area completing the Adventure Lab and noted that there was a cache placement nearby. After a through search we concluded that the cache was indeed missing, but we had on board a suitable replacement cache so as the hint was quite specific, we replaced the cache. We hope that this is acceptable with the CO. TFTC

Had a good look but as Kezzle33 said,we think it's been "mugg'sd hard"

Def mugg'sd hard

Looked under all the seats, dnf, maybe it’s pushed it far??

Thanks for taking me to this new area. Tftc

Happened to be walking past here today. No one about which made for a quick find. Coordinates where bang on. TFTC

Found while out biking..Nicely hidden...TFTC

Cool find!!

Nice quick find luckily no one around today. Didn't even know this existed. Tftc

Pretty good

A good find here, nice and quiet here today. Didn’t even know this place even existed. TFTC

TFTC! Had α little competition with mum Very cool spot!
(PICTURE CONTAINS LOCATION)

Found

Love these ones!

Great little find

We couldn't spot it in the dark a few days ago before we went on the Te Hiua. We are back here today to board the Dairyland Flyer train, and easily spotted in the daylight. Thanks for the cache.

Keylev had seen the event in Hamilton on the long weekend and asked if I was keen to join them for the cache and knock some caches off in Hamilton. Was an easy YES. After a successful FTF for before leaving Auckland we hit the road for Hamilton.

Lucky no buses at the time we were searching so made a quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

A couple of weeks back had noticed the 18th @ 18 event being held in Hamilton on a public holiday and thought it would be a good excuse to head down for the day. We (Mr NZTravellers, NZIceman and I) started a little later than planned due to new local publications which needed the ‘patch defending’. After a quick coffee at home we set off.

Super quick find in an obvious spot and we were on our way again.

Thanks for the cache.

Thanks

Nice and quick to find

Thanks

Good idea thanks

Easy smells like burnt toast

last one for today, very easy because it was very visable, put it a bit further under to keep it hidden, tftc

Another great hiding place. Went when no one was around. TFTC

Easy find

Evening outing for this one! Too many muggles during day!

Quick night find out for family fun

All new area to me. Very quiet today.
Tftc.

Very quite here today.
A really good looking hub.

So pleased to get this today while being driven! Thanks merlot58.
I have had my eye on a heap of trads round Te Rapa but couldnt work out my navigation to get access.
Thanks Chemrox...

Heading home from a ladies day caching with Merlot58, Supernannny and Nette1234, we detoured to collect a few more caches. Being a Saturday, we thought it would be a good opportunity to collect this cache as there would not be too many muggles around. We were impressed by this transport hub and wish we had more of these closer to home.
Once at gz the cache was soon in hand thanks to the hint. TFTC

My car gps didn't have these roads on it so thankfully I had some navigators in the car to help me navigate to the cache. Nice looking transport hub, we need more like this up in Ak. Cache was quickly located thanks to the hint

Minty fresh TFTC

No pen so couldn't sign the log
