Too hard

Thanks, kids loved the find. Time for a new log, wet paper is full up

Found this with my friend

Nice and easy

Lovely for exploringNeeds a new log

Good spot needs a new log soon (little damp)

A quick find. Change of plan due to an accident on the express. Thanks

Thanks for our first find

Will have to return to sighn the log book as there is a kids party close by

We're visiting friends in the area, and I decided to wander off for a walk to collect a couple of these little treasures! Great spot, TFTC

very cool quite easy it is a little mint box

Am staying in the area for the week and NZIceman has come down for a few days too. Decided to check out this area this evening before dinner. Spotted it while searching another spot.Thanks for the cache.

First cache found with my daughter

??

Bit of night caching tonight. Cool wee find.

Not in area

No cigar today

Quick find on way home from rugby

Saw this one just got enabled, and we had a dot day, so me and the youngest team member shot out after dinner to grab this one. A reasonably quick find here as we were pretty sure what we were looking for. Good coordinates, and hint. No problems at all. Returned as found. TFTC!

Finally managed to place another cache in the location. Lets hope this one stays for a while longer

Sat down and took a rest in multiple locations but this one could not be found. Please can CO give it a check - maybe I've just run out of geosense juice for the day...!

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

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

Not there.

Looked everywhere but no cache think someone took it

Nice little park, TFTC. Forgot pen, photo attached as proof.

We needed to get a cache today and this was the closest to where we live. A nice small reserve that we often drive past but have never stopped. Quick find with cache in good order. TFTC.

Great cache I did it with my family on a afternoon walk/car

Leaving Mrs at home with the pooch for some peace and quiet, the lads headed off. Eith the "not so wee one anymore" navigating, we found the first one of the day pretty quick. TFTC

Forgot a pen again so heres a photo. Log currently dry.

At first when I was looking its was hard but I checked somewhere and found it TFTC

????

Nice easy find as driving by.

Quick find with Kre8ive, no pen on board for this one, tftc!

After years on our bucket list and three cancellations due to Covid, we are thrilled to finally be here. Following several cruises we flew from Sydney, Australia to Wellington, New Zealand to begin our next adventure. Picked up our rental vehicle and will be driving, exploring, hiking, and caching both islands for 3.5 weeks. A nice little park without a muggle in sight. We were adding the ink to the log moments after arriving at GZ. Thanks for adding to our adventure today, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl, Arkansas, USA

Cool! Next find gets the jibit

Woohoo

Yayyy

No picnic today, but a nice easy find here. Good little hidey spot, thanks

After all the rain I thought I should get out and about on the scooter and this GC was nicely placed on my chosen route. After a methodical search I soon had the goods. TFTC Buzzybb

Easy just need to feel in holes

Had to read other logs little fingers mm not mine but retrieved nice one

Should've brought a picnic...such a nice little reserve. Great find with sarahbee20 leading the charge and locating the cache once again. Tftc

Found this morning with kathykaches and the mini cacher in her pram. Should have brought a picnic! Thanks for the cache

Walk past here most days so thought the geo dog and I would grab the cache. A nice quick find and sneaky but didn't have a pen so took a photo. TFTC

With Teri b murree h

**18,946**Heading to Maketu to visit family and as we needed to stop by a supermarket, we thought we would extend our trip slightly and collect a couple of caches. This new placement was calling for us to collect it, a nice quick stop here and thankfully no muggles around, so a quick find. TFTC

Tftc

Teri and Mary from the USA came to visit our New Zealand friend, Libby. Got her to join the hunt and her due diligence she put her hand on it. Fun to do together.

Found with Teri and Libby. TFTF

ez find pretty cool

With Mum and niece My brothers worked nightshift overnight and were dog tired when they got home. We decided to put our lives on hold and let them have a quiet sleep. Lets go for a drive! It began to rainThe weather was holding in Tauranga. After doing a few things Mum wanted to do, we launched into some caching. This was first on the list and looked simple enough on paper We checked all parts of the object at ground zone, but we werent feeling it. As weve been given to moaning about it lately, our fingers are not the delicate type that slot into small spaces. We phoned the help-desk It didnt take too long to sort this one out. My niece was able to bring this cache to light. Thanks Buzzybb. TFTC.

We had some free time today so it was put to good use Geocaching ..as we began our adventures the rain came down happy to say it stopped as we arrived here and we were able to search unhindered for the cache.. thanks Buzzybb for the nice tidy placement replaced as found ..it is great having some caches to find in this area

Couple of cars parked in here todayBut nobody in site Married down search area and found cacheTftc

Another nice little park to visit. Judging by the track marks, you are free to drive around on it, or just park there!! Shame the weather has packed in, yet again, so no sitting and relaxing in the sun. Nicely tucked away cache. Thanks for bringing us here, BuzzyB

Spotted this one this afternoon so decided to pop over.Was cheeky enough to drive right to the seating spot.Sat down &started feeling.Wasn't long before my fingers detected it.Thanks Buzzybb,all good in a nice spot.

Always nice to have a place to sit and write the log. TFTC.

Bonus of working from home, this popped up so grabbed the dog & off we went. Got to GZ & there was already some people looking so obviously we were looking for the same thing. If I had come in the car I would have got the FTF but 2nd is ok @1.24pm. So once they had found it, it was my turn next. Sneaky little hide. Great day to get out in the sunshine.

FTF We were home watching a movie when we received the alert for a new cache being released close by. We stopped the movie and jumped straight into the car. Arriving at the cache site with no one in site we hoped we might get the first to find. We neared the cache and were rummaging around when another person arrived at the reserve with phone in hand. Thankfully our fellow cacher waited while our clan eventually each located the cache, signed and returned. TFTC
