It appears the cache has gone missing again. Disabling until I find a new suitable location for cache.

Searched the location and could only find the attachment for the cache and no actual cache. Confirmed with CO that it appears to be missing again and logging a find with their permission. Thanks for bringing us here anyway. Youngest team member blew off some steam on the playground. TFTC!

Cheers

With the odd history of this cache, we had had a couple of false attempts. With the maintenance logs we were hopeful that we may finally have a find. It took no effort to find as it was laying rather exposed, possibly as a result of recent works done to trim the bushes. A previous cacher had slipped some paper into it. Returned as found

Avenging a DnF, a quick find out in the open once arrived, not sure if this is where its meant to be hidden though.. recent maintenance has been carried out around the garden. Happy to turn a blue face into a yellow smiley. TFTC.

First find in the bag!

Thanks for the $2

Found cache but logbook missing

Found cache but nothing insideI left something for next person

)

Wasnt in area ?

Cache checked & is still in place.

Added another log sheet in cache

Nothing inside

This one is now back in action again. Lets hope it remains in place a little longer this time

Cache will be active again within the next week.

Found a roll of toilet paper and then got concerned that I may find something that youd use toilet paper for!! Had a good hunt around checking obvious spots but can find it. Can we get a CO check please?

Please can you check as this appears to be missing...

It appears the cache has gone missing again. Have disabled it until I manage to replace it.

Could not find it.

We think that its stolen but a great park

Had a good poke around, looking through past finds, looks like it moves around a bit, eluded me today, maybe next time!

Operation give Mrs n pooch some peace AND quiet number 2 a success after some gentle mentoring from Mr, TNSWOA snapped it up. TFTC

Bugger.

Found after a few mins of searching. Am thinking it's not where it originally was based on previous log descriptions. Thanks for the cache

With Teri b murree h

Found after trying in night and not seeing it. Came back in day and found. Not attached now. Just in the area. Great to do this in NZ, came from USA

Found with Teri. Greetings from the USA!

cool loved it

took me one min 30 sec

Morning Mish with the little ninjas. Cool find not too hard.

Annoyingly well camouflaged. Yapping dog next door not much help.

Searching high and low when finally Kauriforest eyeballed it. It may have changed since it was set up. TFTC

Good and easy and quick

Kids found it! So nice not having to worry about snakes and spiders when searching in the bush! No red back spiders here!

A popular park and a not so quick find. Thanks

Thanks for replacing it! Paper too damp to write on

Replaced cache. Last one went missing.

Had a good poke around for ages, unfortunately not there for us today. Thanks anyway, hopefully will be back at some other time.

Disabling this while checking if still there. Due to couple of recent DNF’s

Couldnt find

Found it

Log it!

Good find didn’t take very long

Good camo and nice little hide. Log dry but no lid on container. TFTC

Kinda challenging kinda easy but we got there

After a brief scramble in the bushes we laid eyes on something suspicious. After reaching it we were pleased to find the cache. It was quite tricky to get the log book back in place.

Took me not long at all but very good hiding spot

Fun find, loving the host... Love from us... TFTF

no problems to find cache here today.
container has no top on it.
log sheet a little damp.
TFTC

Couldn't find it. A bit yuck in and around the bush. Did find a discarded vape.

Found laying out in the openno lid on the container ...signed and replaced at base of... C.O.may want to check location...thanks buzzybb...cool cache

We arrived at this park - one we haven't been to before - and headed in with Noidnz in tow. Something was spotted immediately out in the open. It was clear to us that it was the cache, but it didn't look complete, unfortunately. We signed and almost got caught in the act by neighbors coming to the park with young children. One of them was expressing his extreme disappointment at the lack of maintenance by the council. He had a point. The grass was long and the weeds longer. Noidnz enjoyed the bars and displayed his Tarzan skills. Oh to be young again. Thanks for the placement Buzzybb

Find it

Had to sit in the car waiting for a family playing to go home for lunch for quite some time.Quick find once the coast was clear but the log is wet as the container appears to have lost it's lid.Thanks Buzzybb.

Out and about on a sunny day with our youngest, we decided to swing by this cache in a park we've driven past many times, but never visited. It took a little bit of finding, until Mr Taylana spotted something that looked ever so slightly out of place...and yet perfectly placed! The retrieval was a little bit tricky, but after signing and returning the log, we then treated our youngest to his first ever time on a seesaw and a swing! TFTC.

In the bush we just found a plastic bottle used for drugs and some old undies. After that we didn’t want to venture in too deep. Is it easily accessible from the grass or do you need to go right into the bush? We couldn’t find it, but just new to this.

Was a bit too wet today to do a thorough fossick.

On my way to Papamoa and stopped for this one on the way. Rain is threatening again and the park is nice and quiet. Got to the GZ and stumbled in glad no one was around to wonder what I was going in there for. Also I think the dog on the other side of the fence knows something is up Quick look and noticed something and was rewarded with a nice cache TFTC

Fourth log book entry, but first log find. Nice easy find given the subtle messages from other successful cachers. TFTC

An unplanned trip to the Mount (to have a tyre repaired by our son) had us in the general vicinity of this cache, so would have been rude not to collect it. The cache was cleverly concealed and we can understand how the previous cachers had DNF'd it. Well worth a favourite for the effort involved in creating this hide. TFTC

Just starting out but did not find this one.

Cache checked and still in place.

Had a decent search but no luck finding a micro here for us

It's New Years Day and an early walk with our Grand-dog to the beach was on the cards. The park was ours alone so we took a few moments to search for my first cache of the year. Took a wee while until the 'what if' feeling came to me and yes there it was. Excellent hide...but of course no pen, no tools, just a dog leash and some doggy bags to work with. Decided to take a photo ...best I could do. Tftc...nice to see a few more popping up in this area.

Picked up three hitch-hikers heading for the gig in Tauranga Domain. Gave them a lift but said I'd was going to grab this cache first. One of them helped and the clever cache was spotted in a few minutes. It actually took about twice as long to extract the logbook. TFTC.

With Mum and niece… Someone began some ‘angry housework’ this morning. I took this as a sign to vacate the property, so we went for a calming drive… to Tauranga.

After a small Boxing Day shopping spree, we headed over to this cache. There was more than enough hint object to search, and we were unsure as to if it were upstairs or down… The niece made quick work of spotting the hide (when she joined the search). It helped that the cache was business side up. Unfortunately, the logbook has had a very hard, short life. It fell apart as we tried to tweeze it out. Lucky, Mum has all the tools on hand to make repairs. We left a replacement AquaNote log in situ. Thanks Buzzybb. TFTC.

*FTF* Haha trust buzzybb to leave it to the last minute to do her hide. A park I walk through quite often to go to the beach so am familiar. The dog needed a walk. Once at GZ where would it be, not there but after a ponderous few moments I spotted something interesting. Very clever hide. Fav point for this..Took a bit to get log back in its spot. Tftc

So easy found it in a few seconds, wasn’t able to sign as couldn’t get paper out.
