As the last log said, wet , but easily signable. Thanks for placing this cache and bringing me here.

Definitely wet but managed to log it. Nice spot for a quick stop!

Too wet to write on unfortunately

Unable to write on this as too wet

Thank you for placing this cache. It was the perfect place to stretch our legs on the way home from the wiggles concert. Lots of activity around with it being a race night

A quick detour off the main highway to find this cache. We were able to park very close to the cache and could almost reach it from the car. It looks like something has tried to eat the cache as there are bite marks on it. The log is wet so we did our best to sign our name. TFTC

I have an afternoon caching between Hamilton and Pukekohemixed success so far. Heading back up towards Pukekohe again and after fuelling up nearby I detoured here to collect a cache to fill a slot in my 360 from home challenge. Easily done with a nice quick find. Thanks grumpymama#5373Logged using Cachly.

Had to drop a component in Hamilton for repair so thought on the way back I could do a few caches just to keep the numbers ticking over.... DONT TELL MY BOSS Last one to knock off for the afternoon. Quick easy find. Had to dry out the log paper and the plastic bag as these were wet.I placed the plastic bag in the top half of the container in the hope it would remain out of any pooled water that gets into the container.TFTC

Found it, quick find thanks

Nicely done!

All good, quick park n sign. TFTC

Quick grab after getting some cheap petrol. Thanks for the hide.

Very fun did while filling up petrol at gull

On the way for a day out in Auckland whilst lots of Auckland folks have gone away over Easter - thats the theory anyway!! Stopped here for petrol and decided to pick up this cache as well. Great spot, TFTC

Checked today. Still all good. Thankyou tryfyn for putting in a waterproof log

Geeting a bit wet hard to write on wet paper

It was wet

M25: despite all the rubbish around here, the cache was all good and signed here. TFTC.

Quick find while heading to the big airport. No one around.

Quick find whilst avoiding muggles at the nearby building.

Taking a trip to auck so grabbing a few caches on the way, this was a quick stop, quick find, tftc

Heading south from Mercer this morning, stopped for gas at Hampdon Downs, and to pick up some more caches. This was a quick park n grab, no problem finding the cache. All in good condition. Tftc!

Meandering my way back to Hamilton with matagouri. We did a quick stop to top up the fuel tanks and grab a few more caches. This was a nice easy find on a quiet stretch of road.Thanks for putting this here.

Log book soaked. Popped in a replacement. TFTC.

Paper log wet. Easy cache! Yay

Wet but yay first of of auckland find

Quick stop after going go karting. Log is wet but still OK. TFTC

I wasn't expecting any traffic on this road, but just as I was walking back to the car a delivery truck drove down the road!A quick and easy find, in an obvious place.The cache looks like a rat has had a bit of a chew at it, and it was a bit wet inside.

Collected this one after filling up with petrol - lots of people at the petrol station but all getting back on the motorway so very quiet here. TFTC

Easy one to find

A nice quick park and grab. Cache isn't water tight and had a little puddle in the bottom. TFTC!

A nice quick find, on a wee detour from SH1. No gassing up today, but a usual fuel stop on the way north. Thanks for placing your cache. Relogging on the correct date.

Ms_KR and I are cruising up to Auckland today. The weather was good for caching, though a but rainy at times. Didn't really stop us though!

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

Oooh, could be anywhere. Might as well start looking. Oooh, good choice! Thanks grumpymama

Out and about for a significant hike with suppernanny, Net61 and Jag50 along the northern section of the Waikato River Walk. That completed SN nicely chauffeured me around to the few local hides I hadn't yet found. SN parked up nice and close to ground zero and I leaped out and made a super quick find, right where SN was pointing. I took the TB to move along. Cheers for the cache placement!

We would not have stopped for the fabulous café nearby had it not been for the cache. Thank you for that! We dropped a trackable here.

Grabbed this one after a stop at Hampton Downs to get my favourite coffee beans from the roaster there. Taken trackable to move on. Thanks for the cache.

After a quick fuel stop just down the road, I made the short detour here to check out this cache. No problems finding in the hinted location, left a TB, before continuing north, TFTC

Nice spot for a cache! Off to the racetrack for a Lambo ride so was a good chance to sign it off. TFTC

Nice one and easy as per hint.

Road trip with Gorby for the "18th" Event in Hamilton. We had some time to pick up a few hides. This was one of them.

I`m logging this cache as my 10167 find.
TFTC grumpymama!

On our way to Hamilton for the day, I'm with tramyard in his green 4wd buggy, great little car and economical. Our last cache at Hampton Downs today, so will head to Te Kauwhata now for a few. Thanks for the hide and cache all good and dry here.

Yep it was a nice quiet park and grab! Tftc.

Quick check today. Still in place.

Hi,
this is actually my first cache in New Zealand , in the old school style ... so with a logbook .
The go-kart track nearby would have appealed to me a lot... maybe next time
Greetings from Germany

After being fortunate enough to grab a couple of FTF's near here, we couldn't leave this one unfound. A nice quick find and we were on our way again.

Nice quick grab before heading off to find some more

Nice and easy find after breakfast at the racetrack

Nice and dry. Found on the way home from a nice bite to eat at the cafe at the Hampton Down racetrack.

Have been in the expressway since it started and theirs was a good excuse to take a break from the drive. Did a quick detour grabbed and signed the log. Good to keep the streak going. Day 68. TFTC.

Nice and dry

This was another quick stop on my journey south. TFTC.

Day one. Righty o. Yes very quick find. Excited to get first cache on the "Road Trip". I'll have to check out the race track one day. Tftc

A solo excursion for Mr Coblet.
I was in the area today looking for a few random caches and this was one of them.
I have never been down this road before and it was interesting to explore somewhere new.
There was very convenient parking at GZ and I made a nice quick find.
The cache was well camoed and so was the building nearby. It looks like a barn but signage would suggest otherwise. Blends in well with its surroundings though, which is probably the point.
Thanks grumpymama for a great hide. We see you have placed a few around this area and we are keen to come back and look for them sometime soon.

Quick find after finishing some work nearby.
Cach is safe and dry.
Thanks for placing this cach

Completely overthought this one...had an aha moment and found it. On my way down to Hamilton Gardens to pick up junior cachers from their dad. TFTC

Found it

Nice quick park'n grab.
Tftc

A nice day in the Waikato
Thanks.

Thankfully a nice quick find after taking 15 mins to go 2 km because of roadworks

Check done. All good

A group of us had been down to cycle the river trail from Ngaruawahia to The Hamilton Gardens...it had been postponed before and today was the day, and the weather looked good to support a fun day full of adventure and crazyness......

We had completed that mission and we had all gone our separate ways and as I had no time limit for caching, and Mrs stik-a-crane had arranged an errand for me to run whilst in Hamilton, I decided to collect a few more......Finally arriving home around 9pm,...

TFTC.

Today I was on a mission with KGD (Hairy) to clear the north Waikato caches and Adventure lab cashes. A big thanks for placing this cache.

Took a little longer than it should have as I didn't check the hint. After that it was a nice quick find. Driven past here so often without coming off SH1. TFTC

Maintenance check...all nice and dry

a quick find when we arrived at GZ

Found with ABCDF4 whilst on a maintaince mission.

Nice easy park and grab
Thanks

Decided to come north for a look at these new caches. Nice parking spot here and cache quickly found and signed. Thank you for the placement.

we went the longer way to get this one.no problems to locate a good sized container.TFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… In between some of Gap’s jobs. Allowing ourselves to be sidetracked…

We haven’t really bothered to explore this area before, so it was a small surprise to find a loop road in here. Fortunately, it was quiet this afternoon, so no problem with parking. A quick find - Thanks grumpymama and TFTC.

Found yesterday with LEONOOB, apparently I forgot to log... waiting for him to wake up so we can go on a caching mission today

I was heading back to Auckland after a fun 2 days geocaching in Hamilton!
Beautiful weather!!!!!!
Was bit dark on this road....but luckily for me it was an easy find ....I parked really close and utilised my car headlights...
Thanks for your new caches grumpymama! !

Having spent the night nearby and needing to fuel up the van, what a treat to find some relatively cheap fuel nearby and then a cache to be located. Thankfully, with good co-ords, this cache was soon in hand and the pain of the cost of the partial tank load of fuel was lessened. TFTC

??????

Easy find thanks. On for ftf virtual hopefully

Stopped at the petrol station the eve before this was published, narrowly missing out on the FTF. Happened to be passing again so just had to stop for the smiley . Thanks for the great placement.

Published

We were heading south this afternoon and just happened to scroll down a map of our route, and noticed a cache that had not been there last night when we were planning our caching for the day. Detoured off our planned route and headed up Harness Rd. We parked near GZ and immediately saw something that would nicely fit the hint - and in there was the cache. Opened it up and found a blank log. Thanks for the bonus find and FTF.
