Missing since November last year, three needs-maintenance logs - time to shut this one down?
Looked very hard today, two GPS's agreed we were in the right spot but no cache. If I'd looked at all the DNF's before us I wouldn't have bothered, please check that this cache is still where it should be?
Too many neighbour muggles today, pretty sure we know where we are going though.
GPS tells me it's halfway up a steep bank, which doesn't seem right for 1-terrain.
Searched around for a while, looked in a lot of logs and stepped in a lot of mud, but couldn't find this one.

We are from The Netherlands and currently visiting the Waikato area and of course doing some geocaching overhere.
The cache was difficult to locate. With our second attemt we succeeded in finding. TFTC.

Great cache, has been a couple of months since last logged, but still there safe and sound. Tftc.
As Feathertop said we had actually gotten a lot closer to this cache from the last street instead of trying to drive a bit closer. Nice walk up and down the wet hill though!
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
We should have walked from the previous cache as we had trouble securing closer parking.
In the end we walked down the hill to this one.
Nice hide

Found after a bit of unnecessary extra paddling in mud from the recent rains. I should have taken the hints with me! Left a valuable McWindeLuneX7 pathtag for the next lucky finder to keep.
YAY!!! 2nd attempt! Finally found this one, and it wasnt as hard as we made it the first time. We too got sucked in origially and climbed vertically to find it. This time i took the family pooch and my dad, who found it with little effort. Thanks for the find, we really didnt want to let this one get us and it didnt!!!
Out on a small cache run with Gadget-Tron.
What are doing? Should have trusted my first instinct.

GPS had us climbing up a steep, wet embankment. Should have read previous logs first and trusted the terrain rating. Once we got back down to level and dry ground we quickly had the cache. TFTC
Found after a bit of a search, very well presented cache and nice and dry compared to the others in this area which are mostly damp inside...cant beat the sistemas...TFTC
thank for the travel bug

A little tricky finding the access ways when you are not familiar with the area, but we enjoyed the challenge. Made a quick find at GZ, but came close to slipping over in the mud - returned by a slightly drier route. Thanks.
Dropped off Key to Rotoroa

This one had us all over the place and we eventually found it the GPS was out by 30m. Never mind we got there in the end. TFTC
Easy find although I'd recommend sneakers rather than jandals for this area. Found with neoGeneva & Subcide
Fell over all the rotting tree trunks, slipped in all the mud, tripped over every last foot of Wandering Jew...didn't find the cache. Sob...
Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 759. Thanks.
Boy did I have fun with this one, tried to walk through from the gardens. After all 3 stars there must be some effort involved. DO NOT TRY IT. Once I was back on track I still made it difficult by walking through the mud first. Easy find in the end Thanks for getting me out of town this far, much quieter part of the walkway
Found on 2nd attempt after GPS took us half way up the hill with the dog the first time around. Had a lot of fun. TFTC
This was my second attempt at this one, seems I was looking about 10m off to the side last time. Beware of the MUD!
Found it in only a few minutes during a great day out caching with TheQuiltys and my kids.
TFTC!

Came here with Mellee to pick up our beloved mother and baby gecko TravelBug who has made it all the way to Germany and back home safely in her 1 year voyage, what a shame the same cant be said for 4 of our geocoin which one by one went missing.
Found with rhyven, 3rd cache find for the day. Also noticed another friend had been here today and visited this cache. TFTC

Attempted to find this cache a few days ago, but the water was much too high. Went back there today and was found pretty quickly, I was quite amazed at how the water level has decreased over a few days. TFTC TNLN
Nice easy find after walking through a before unknown area for us. Quite muddy today, but cache is all dry and good Took nothing but left mother and baby gecko TB. TFTC
Another area I'd not visited before - and found my future dream home while I was there!
Nice hide, TFTC

Walk to GZ was a bit muddy this morning. Went a bit to far first, came back - bingo.
Must have just missed Quinella this morning.

Nice spot, found a little away from where I was heading, but all fell into place. Thanks
Overshot at first, then figured it out coming back. Nice spot by the river. TFTC
Found during a day of caching in Hamilton. Thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL T4TC.
This was the third time I'd gone down there. The E coordinates were way out but fortunately other cachers had made a nice path through the wandering jew! Haha.
Made my approach from the river side, I'd been accompanying the Young Mariners of NZ on their bi annual Waikato River row, from Cambridge to Rangirirri overnighting at Te Rapa

Quick find in between showers with HotRodPete, thankfully no muggles as It would have been a bit strange seeing a gent in full marine wet weathers scrabbling around.
I had no caching stuff with me so NINO, TFTC

A joint find with the Howick Candys while on the Young Mariners two day Waikato River cutter and kayak excursion. A break from the confines of the kayak and a chance to stretch my legs. TFTC.
This cache has been the thorn in my side I have been to this location on three seperate occasions to find it. My GPS kept putting me 20-30 meters off the mark in the middle of the bush. When I did find it I felt like a plonker. So I am a very glad geocacher today logging the find. TFTC
A bit muddy around there. Also dog reacts to wandering dew so had to make it a quick stop.

Lovely area, would love to live near here.
Quick find, In Toucan Goecoin (not yet logged by Butterfly Lady) and out Round Dice!

Not quite where we thought it would be, but we found it eventually. took a bit of looking, was well worth it. Found the travel bug and will move him on next time we're out and about. Thanks
Up early before the muggles on a lovely Waikato morning. 1st today. Very boggy after recent rain but easy find with clue
Howdy! had a good laugh here! well & truley Trodden!, think a few of us being trying hard!- eazy find with clue!No swaps Cheers Muzy Man!
Last one for the day, Followed the arrow and ended up 20 meters away up a steep bank thinking, Dang its down the bottom I should have taken the easy step first.
Oh well I suppose this is moron caching, tackle the hardest unnecessary part first.

Great park, kids loved running freely running down the hills yelling as loud as possible! No one around cos showery though. Didn't find this last time here, but looked in same spot - must need glasses.... Co-ords a bit off for me, but found OK. Kids took pen and cocktail umbrella, left pen and light stick. TFTC
An easy find, with some enlightening reading from muggles. Not sure about the name though?
