Late Saturday afternoon seemed a good time to try this and it proved to be nicely quiet. A bit of a look around for anything out of place then the title clicked. No muggles near or even looking in my direction. Quick retrieve, sign and, last check, replace. TFTC & FP for a very clever cache.
Up and about early this morning. Scratched my head for a moment or two. Then bingo.Cheers
We had stuff to do at Tauriko, then a few options after that. The traffic dictated our next move, and so we ended up at Fraser Cove - and a cache. The gps jiggled and jived, not settling. We got the general idea of the location, so we stood back to look. I focused on one odd item, but luckily, macwatt announced he'd found it, otherwise I might have had an embarrassing situation to deal with!! Thanks for another quality cache Mc Jandals
Thanks McJ...a very apt place for this type of cache not sure I would call it straightforward....it did take a couple of sweeps as my gps had numerous moments then the clever disguise was soon in hand. The log was signed and replaced as found..great cache

Decided to visit Tauranga for a bit of fishing. The weather wasnt great but thought we would chance it. Right as we cast Reschedule pipes up new cache in Tauranga. We debated for a moment but as it was raining and windy we quickly packed up the rods and headed for Fraser Cove. Route we debated about if we would have any competition for the FTF, but upon arriving we saw no one suspicious so proceeded with the hunt. We were working off the original coordinates, so split up and made our way around the carpark eliminating all possibilities. After none of those proved to be of any success we gathered together to contemplate the plan when we got interrupted. The coordinates have been updated. Ahh this is the information we required. A quick moment for introductions, then it was back to the search. Making our way around and haha beaten but so close. Great to finally meet another cacher in person and not just name.
Well well, the notification came through for a new cache in the area, with our fishing rods freshly cast into the water and gear all set up it was a bit of contemplation, we ultimately gave in. Arriving to GZ the coordinates were off which led us on a wild hunt trying to decipher the hint, someone suspicious walked right up to us and mentioned they had been updated.Introductions were made and formalities initiated , but TNXpro had one thing in his sights... a sneaky grab right in front of us all! Nice for the pair of us to meet a fellow tree climbing cacher along with a sneaky cache.TFTC!
Needed to do some shopping and had seen this one come out yesterday. Had bit of trouble with coords so started using my eyes I know this CO well and that she can be quite devious. Spotted something Is it? Yes. Thats for a great hide TFTC
Been a long time between new cache notifications - well ones I would attempt a {FTF} at anyway.Arrived within 10mins of the email just when a car load of suspicious looking cachers arrived too.I watched them scour the area, then swooped in for the FTF under their noses!A great cache, well hidden, yet not really well hidden. ??Loved this. First fav point!
