We are back in New Zealand to have the holiday we should have had 4 years ago, Covid-19 put and abrupt end to that holiday. We have got a few places earmarked to visit, Lake Taupo, Napier and then Palmerston North.We are out with our niece in Chartwell who is showing us around. I left the wife and Alaura to do some retail therapy, not my idea of fun, so a spot of caching was in order.Greetings from the UK.Arrived at the library and went through to the courtyard. Arrived at GZ and started my search. I was busy looking for it when one of the staff told me that the cache had been destroyed and is now missing. This cache needs maintenance. I have messaged the CO regarding this cache.Log signed and cache replaced as found.Thanks to gogoguises for placing.Find 2 of 7Total finds 3566
As per my log this cache is missing. I was told this by one of the library staff. Could the CO please investigate and either replace the cache or archive it.
I went out geocaching with a disabled client yesterday and found this cache. I wasnt sure if we had identified the right thing as the cache as there was no log but took a photo and sent to the owner and they quickly confirmed i can log this one as found. Thankyou for the fun cache.
Stopped nearby for a break. Found at 1410. Some interesting swag and logbook is gone.TFTC
We figured out where we needed to be to find this cache before we arrived at gz. Headed to the spot but came up empty handed.
Annoying not to find what looks like a great cache. We are not from the area so will keep an eye on this cache and have another look on another trip back to Hamilton.

Turned up at the location & were a bit perplexed. So read the description & previous logs so off to look for the cache. Aha interesting. Great idea.
Nice to come here today and spend at least a few minutes out of the rain. A little confused by the description, and previous logs. But all soon became clear. Tftc
We came to a nearby business and to fill in time looked for this cache. It's been a while since we've been to this library and hadn't seen this nice area before. The cache was just like the name said. TFTC.
What a cool little cache! We are in Hamilton with our grandson who enjoys caching but it’s started raining. I looked for a good cache to find without getting too wet and spied this one. We were wandering around inside wondering where the cache was then I looked up some previous logs. Some very helpful hints steered me in the right direction and we only got a little bit wet! Thanks for setting this up - a favourite from me
Often, I think that library caches are easy and then I struggle. We wandered inside feeling confused but soon saw an opportunity which panned out delightfully. Worth a fave! Thanks gogoguises
A nice quick find. We were not sure what we were letting ourselves in for, but it was a quick find in the obvious hinted device. A fav point from me. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I went for a wee walk cuise around Hamilton today. It was a lovely day for a drive, though the traffic and road works were a bit busy.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

First one ever found and by accident. Now me and my son have a new hobby we can do together
Glad to have the micro cacher with me for this one as to not look out of place. An enjoyable find was had by young and old. All good here, TFTC!
Not being a local, i wasn't familiar with this library, so wandered around for a while, not finding anything useful.
So, I resorted to asking a group of librarians, who knew nothing about it, but were curious about geocaching.
When I mentioned the title of the cache and the clue, one of them suggested somewhere which proved unsuccessful, but then remembered somewhere else - this was indeed what I was looking for, although it is no longer hanging.
Many thanks to the lovely ladies in the library and to the CO for setting this up.

Lovely spot to sit and read.
Bought four children's books for my granddaughter.

What a lovely cache this is. Once Net read the description and we realised we had to go inside we had no trouble. I really enjoyed getting this one, FP given

We were in the area picking up stages for the three new Ad Labs that had been placed for the weekends events and so we filled in some time before returning to the area to collect this really fun little cache. Well worth a favourite point - a very enjoyable cache find. TFTC

Had me fooled until I noticed something not apparent from outside. Classic cache! TFTC & FP.
Another cool find on my weekend minibreak!
Always love libraries.
Went out to where gz appeared to be...but a guy had made himself right at home on the grass ...reading newspapers and having takeaways.
I finally saw what must be the container!
I hadn't even twigged by the cache name!
Managed to get there and sign and return without bring noticed!!
Then it was back inside to buy some kids books from the withdrawn table for the kids...
Had a nice chat with the librarians and also the security guard.
Thanks so much gogoguises.
Great idea!

Took a while, as I had tunnel vision AKA I was dumb and didn’t look properly.
TFTC!

The Freezer Mice strike again. A nice quick find while on a visit to one of our favourite places. TFTC
Grabbed a couple of books and a geocache find. I see from the log the freezer mice stru k again today as well. Fun fa. ILY friendly hide.
Out and about doing some caching on Saturday morning, and this looked interesting. A nice quick find once I reached the GZ, very cool cache, cheers
Finished work at mid day and it was time to clean up the city caches. TFTC Not too busy here today
we never seem to strike these cache types when library's are opening.luck on our side today and made a bee line straight to cache.well constructed container.TFTC
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… A mid morning start after a late night caching expedition. We have a few caches lined up for today. They are dotted around the countryside, so we’ll be zig zagging our way through the Waikato…
We were quite pleased to find the library open on Sunday. The security person at the door didn’t seem perturbed by doing her duty… She remarked that this was an ‘easy day.’ Gap and I strode past the books and disappeared into the cache’s domain - There was no mistaking it! We were in and out like a whirlwind. We wonder what the security person thought of our super fast visit… Thanks gogoguises and TFTC.

After solving a couple of newly published puzzles we decided to come and find them, as well as a few other trads nearby. We had a pleasant morning caching in mostly fine weather with interesting cache containers to find.
We were intrigued by the location of this cache, but a little disappointed to see that Sunday didn't feature in the hours this cache was available, given today was Sunday. Since we were nearby we made a snap decision to stop for a quick look anyway. Seeing that a certain place was open, we headed in, spied where we needed to go, and luckily for us we were able to get right to GZ. Well that was easier than expected! With the cache title in mind we headed straight for the hiding spot and had the cache in hand soon after. Very nicely done and secure here, thanks. Adding a Favourite point.

Once at GZ it was a very quick find, sign and replace just before a muggle appeared. Thanks for the cache.
Was trying to figure out why this was shown as outside, yet the listing showed available hours, all became clear when we arrived, nice placement
We love this little area and the junior Cape Geckos play here often. Nice to have a new secret to know about. Very nice little hide and well crafted.
Left a small red dolphin.

I stopped here to have a look at this one. There was security on the front and they were in discussion with the police. After entering I made my way to the cache. After sitting down to sign it I saw another policeman looking thru the back fence. Signed and replaced.
as I exited the front a person was being lead away. Whew neither me nor the cache were their interest. Thank you for the placement.

Head scratching a few moments when realized where I had to go. Very nice. Nobody in the vicinity so was an easy find.tftc
Quick [FTF] here with jägersmum after figuring out how to access GZ. Really nice job here and cool how safe and secure it will be. Giving a FP for sure. TFTC!!!
Fresh from having my hair done, FMZ told me that theres this new cache not too far from us. I said, yep we can get it as long as we don’t get my hair wet . So off we went and I am glad we did. Cute and interesting hide. Been to this place heaps of times but never knew about this little area. Another [FTF] for this newbie. Yay. Thank you for the cache.
