Nothing but Balls (Auckland) Pinehill, North Island, New Zealand
By Zork V on 11-Dec-04. Waypoint GCM88N

Council doing major work in the area. Thanks for coming.

What an unpleasant place. Watched the neighbour throwing rubbish into the park. - golf Ball + Tennis ball

Soon found GZ after gps settled down.Then a bit of a search & there it was.This place looks like a mountain bike track.It must be busy in the weekends.No one else around at 12:56pm on a Tuesday.Golf ball in.Transformer out.Tb's Bull elk & Mc Facer visited.
Cheers Zork V

Spent a while driving around trying to find a way in...
Finally found the little reserve. At first I was worried because the area has recently been cleared of rubbish and much of the undergrowth. However the cache is safe and sound.

Thanks for the cache!

[:d] Not the prettiest reserve around, but appears to be under some development. Hard to find as the gullies and ridges make estimates of which road to take difficult for non-residents - but that is what makes geocaching such an interesting challenge. (Still lots of 'non-balls' in cache).

Took toy calculator (McDonalds toy?)
Left hacky sack.

WHAT another Zork cache.
Approaching GZ as we found all AK caches was in itself a mission if you arent used to all the traffic and ridges as we dont live here!!
I was worried when I drove down towards the end of rd as workmen looked busy.
Seemed they were working on the foot path.
Certainly looks like a dumping ground.
Left a Golf Ball

Thanks again Zork

This one was not to hard to find. Not to many balls in here.
- Eye Ball
+ Pool Ball

4.30pm Not such an attractive reserve as some but maybe its planned to have some redevelopment. Easy find. Many items other than balls in the cache.
+ eyeball
took nothing
M&P.

Well hidden, but found it once the GPS settled down a bit and I got to the right side of the track. Think you should rename it nothing but McDonalds toys as that is what it is full of.
Find 94, and on a mission to reach 100 today.

First of three of Zork V caches. Found the right track this time, boy on quad bike playing around, lots of rubbish. Land now for sale for houses. Quick find.

Ah, much easier in daytime, and even better when the cache is just laying exposed to where it should be! I placed it back and hid it more carefully. Cheers Gav [482]

Hard to find as you lose a bit of coverage in the bush. Three trys and I got it.

Found it with JDHnz and 1st220.

It wasnt as hard this time, in fact Im a little sure how we went around and around and around in circles last time? The balls must have had some sort of "out of container" effect

Another cache find to JDHnz before I could get started myself. (Was distracted by the mozzies - even though I had been warned)
Took nothing, left small orange superball. Thanks

Why was it so hard the last time?!? We went straight to it this time as the GPS was spot on. Last time it had us off on the other side of the track in the thick bush. TNLNSL, thanks.

Easy and enjoyable cache... shame about the local residents useing this area as the own compost bin.
cheers for the cache

An easy cache, however I could see how the other logs could put them in all directions.
Mine thankfully was bang on

I didnt like this cache location, it is a disgrace to Auckland, compared to the other cache locations I have been to today.
Rubbish rubbish and more rubbish!!
Disappointing

The cache itself is cool and well hidden, its a shame it couldnt be in another location.

Good walk from home. Left a tennis ball. Took nothing.
Second one for the day to find cache.

Quite a challenge under the trees to get a good signal but got there in the end after going out a couple of times. Met some other cachers walking in that were yet to log their first find - hope they get it. TNLN

Gave up on this one after searching without success through what appears to be a bit of a rubbish dump, not having particularly good GPS lock and being eaten alive by the mozzies.

My team mate found this one while I was looking in a different area.

Out: BK ball
In: Pink Jump Ball

First of the day and of the new year for me.
Great hiding place.
Left smiley bouncy ball.
Thanks

Found with Dysentry

Visited with Surgez.

Located about 100m from my house! Took a bit to find as the tree cover through gps out of whack, had to rely on the hint. We both wandered past it a few times before realising and finding cache. Thanks!

Call me a sissy - I had no balls! TNLN
Cheers, M@

Found easily, didn't take long to find. A cool little bush that I never knew existed. A cool little hiding spot.
Cheers

Quick stop by. Cache really wanted to fall out onto the track when we put it back. See you're pushing the camo envelope [^].

TNLNSL. Thanks Zork V.

FTF!! Found with husbands help once again. Combined visit to cache with Sunday market. Great bargains to be found.

In Red sponge ball

Out Travel Bug (Toot) (472757)

Thanks we did not know about that reserve.

Travel Bug Little Toot The Train Loving Bug has been relocated to "Her Majesty's Hotel" I thought he would enjoy that.

I was with Caroletess and our respective spouses for this search and made to look somewhat stupid when Caroletess's husband waited as we overshot the cache, intent on the GPS screen, only to turn round and find the container sitting out in the middle of the track!

In A "washed" ball from a roll on bottle.
Out nil.
Thanks for the cache Zork V.

6.05pm. 1st for the day. My GPS was all over the place for this one, took use about an hour to find it. Parked on the wrong side of the hill then drove around some of the streets, ending up back where we started from. Had walked right past it several times when we first got there.

- Tower keyring as the cache is only for BALLS
When I replaced the cache it also tried to jump back out again like happened to Navigull.
Thanks for the cache Zork V
