Thanks for my first find! You will need a pen, it's a bit grubby but it's easy to find
Must have been a cool treehouse back in the day, otherwise a quick grab and log. TFTC
Quickly ducked into the bush here this evening to keep up my streak. Located a cache and a very friendly dog; attempted to hide the cache a bit better than found with some rocks. Tftc!
This cache is very close to where I am staying with my daughter and I was able to hobble down here on my crutches today. Enjoyed a walk in the sunshine and finding a cache while out for my daily walk after recent hip surgery.
thanks g.cartwright for the cache. Cute wee playground close by.

I have looked at this one for awhile and today was the day to sign the log. Thanks for placing this cache.
Out caching with Debsnz and this was our last for the day. After one of the previous logs I was expecting great things for this tree house, but it has definitely seen better days and may well have health and safety issues now......However, the cache is still there, in good condition. Found and replaced without even getting muddy after all the recent rain. Thanks g.cartwright.
A sunny day and found the treasure at the bottom of the tree house - that is if you can call it a tree house as it's certainly seen better days. Found with Spoonz2
Cool spot bit of a tight squeeze for a big old bloke like myself but totally doable TFTC left a wee trinket
What a wonderful place for kids to do what they should do and that is PLAY, through exploring, getting grubby, constructing huts etc. The looming clouds for this oldie who has outgrown getting wet and grubby meant that I didn't explore. As long as any young ones don't need rocks for any construction and providing geocaches do their bit this cache should last. I signed my name in one of the gaps on the first page. Thanks for placing this.
Thought I better wander over here and sign the cache logbook before it gets interfered with again. I wonder what happened to my last signature in the logbooks. Some pages removed already? Much drier hide than the last position, you'll need to look a lot lower for the hide. The [other cache](https://coord.info/GC2HWZA) lasting only three years was on the other arm of bush north of here, really soggy in the Aggies and blackberry. Helped ourselves to the sack of potting mix left at the GZ, no good will come it being used for illicit plantings in the bush around here, too much activity around here to hide a patch of weed. No roof, no walls, mezzanine floor, good indoor/outdoor flow, several feet above the ground in case it floods - someone will rent it out. ***Wheel** challenge **94th** cache trad 11pt*. TFTC
Caught on my Dunedin bus travel debut today. Greetings from the Czech Republic and Thanks For This Cache.

You may be thinking, "how, IHaveLocoMotives, have you found so many caches in one sprint? You must be so cool and popular"
And you'd be right
Also, thanks its_smitchell, GoodHeavsMsEvs, CarribeanStorm, and PoofyMayo for doing the hard work

A quick easy find at an interesting structure which no doubt is well used. We were surprised the cache was in such close proximity. TFTC
Now that I am able to find caches without adult help (other than driving me around!) dad is starting to take me to caches he has already found but I haven't. He stands back and doesn't help me so this find was all my own work! As we come to log the find it is interesting to see the cache is disabled. We didn't know when we set out. As we approached GZ we were concerned because work has been done on nearby trees and the contractors have chipped the branches they cut down and then dumped the chippings right at GZ. Dad was concerned that this may have buried or damaged the cache. But the cache is in good condition and not buried. It is perfectly safe and easily found. Can't understand why it is disabled. Perhaps the owner has sorted it but forgotten to enable it again? TFTC.
Several weeks without owner action since disabling and has escaped the 'disabled cache status' slaying reviewer's notice.Owner Maintenance log doesn't mean cache is repaired and ready to be found or I'd be posting yet another ignored **Needs Maintenance** log **[3rd]** to push this one along. Time to return cache to GZ or walk away and free up the area. Tick tock.
Found and signed the logbook, but that's all I found - no container, and it wasn't at the place indicated by the hint. There isn't a secure place for me to leave the log so I've taken it for now and will contact the CO to organise its swift return.
Trying to start running again, so this was a welcome break on my route. TFTC
Had to grab a few caches so we headed out on a sunny coolish day to find a few close by. TFTC

A roadie today with Tania, keeping her company on her mission, my job navigating..and nabbing a few caches myself quick find here tftc
Cache 1016 had decided that while I was on holiday a trip to Dunedin was in order to fill in some missing spots on my “hidden dates” grid, I asked Wombats_4 if she was up for a roadie and she was more than happy to come with I didn’t need to collect this series for my dates but Wombats needed Jerry for one of her challenges so we parked up and did a wander around to collect the team and a couple of trads. nice quick easy find and cache was in good condition, we decided not to climb up into the fort and it was off to the next cache T4TC
We criticised the house on sale nearby - $850K for a place with so steps to carry the groceries up is nonsense. Then bypassed the playground and spotted the obvious... surprised it is still here as children/dogs are pretty good at investigating. Left it a bit less obvious, so the local children have less chance of spotting it. A nice tidy container - well done on your first hide g.cartwright.
My grandchildren knew where this treehouse was and found the cache on our geocaching walk today.
A nice quick find on a bitterly cold day with very strong southerly winds. Nice to make the find and dash back quickly to the warmth of the car.

Missed this on the first pass but after eliminating other possibilities returned for a closer look and there it was! All quiet here as I believe school is back.
Thanks for the cache, g.cartwright

Indeed a fave hangout for The Littlest Rex - especially on a scorching hot school holiday morning...TFTC!
Drove into Harcourt St to see a DCC staffer in deep discussion with a Delta staffer on the roadside just up from GZ. Delta maintains parks and reserves for the DCC so I assumed these were parks/reserves people and therefore would take notice of an odd man disappearing into the bush. Therefore I drove on and attended to some other tasks and returned about 40 minutes later to find the coast clear. Fairly steady rain this morning so the bush was quite wet. Found a stick to have a poke around with and quickly uncovered something. Nice to see a new name hiding caches (at least, I don't recall seeing the name before - apologies if this ISN'T your first hide.) TFTC.
What a great wee spot for kids to play. Soon had log signed before heading off again. TFTC
(FTF) @ 0820
Was just about to head out the door when the notification came through.
In the general direction of where I was heading so bonus. Very quiet in the area today and with plenty of cover from the nearby houses the find was soon made. A great wee hide for your first hide g.cartwright and hopefully one of more TFTC
