O Weary One (Waikato) Melville, North Island, New Zealand
By Butterfly_lady on 16-Jan-06. Waypoint GCT287

We have been sitting on this one for a while, awaiting a spare weekend, to implement a planned replacement. Alas that weekend has not materialised yet, but it is time to put this one to bed as we have received the dreaded reviewer’s chase-up note.
We do hope to get a new, interesting hide in place here soon, watch this space, unless someone beats us to it!

Did not check first to see that it was disabled as was on my GPS already. but guessed that it had or should be when i got to the spot. looked like the whole area had been raked clear.

Went to the spot twice this weekend and hunted high and low. cache wasnt there.

Two experienced caching teams are unable to locate this one. Will check it later.
Meantime, disabled to indicate to other cachers that it is unlikely to be there.

Nice quick find

Nice easy find NINO TFTC

Thanks for showing us another hidden park.
Easy early morning find coming to Hamilton off SH3
TNLN SL T4TC. Haydens find.

easy find was left quite exposed loged in and hid a little better

Found during a trip to the Waikato region. Easy 21st find at the end of a very long day of caching TNLNSL T4TC.

Lovely spot for a walk. found it quickly also lots of fresh mushrooms which I gathered up. Picked up the travel bug and put in a small bus. Will help the bug on it's journey.

nice easy cache TFTC

Dogs loved the new location (for us) and to be able to run free was even better. In Slice of Kiwi TB / Out The Key to Rotoroa

Nice cache, good walk and easy find in the end. Noticed another geocacher there too I believe.. hppo?
Would've introduced myself but my kids have a fear of dogs.

just a quick call to drop off TB

Good spot to take your dogs for a walk as you dont need to keep them on the leash according to the signage.Took TB "wandering jack" replaced with stamp. TFTC.

Quick find by Miss Geckoh although all cachers getting weary indeed (its been a long weekend!)
TNLN TFTC

Cache has been replaced. Many thanks to the Geocooleys for the help while we were away.

All ready for finding again

Found the cache scattered over the GZ with no log book to be found.
Knowing where the Butterfly Lady rests her wings at night, dropped remains in her letterbox for a "restful" burial. TFT1/2C

Appears this cache has been trampled. Will consider replacement, or maybe a new one nearby. Thanks for the heads up, Southern Augers on this wee problem.

GPS was misbehaving but shellz, who was disgusted at the vandalism of some of the trees, decided to remove some firewood from the base of one. Funny, it was gz! in - shellz shell, out - jeep. TFTC

The ants were rawling out of the cache. I tried to removed them.

Yahoo my 100th find! - just on way back from a couple caches from up Mt Pirongia one part of Zorgons challange, easy find with small amount of brain power required after your last little ripper I found! once again Cheers Muzy Man!

Nice easy find for Team Tamahere

Another beautiful spot.

Another nice and easy one on an overcast Waikato day. TNSL, TFTC (#551)

O weary one, oh, where are you.

Found, logged and signed off.

Another new area to explore! Pleasant stroll in the sun for a quick find.
TNLN thanks.

Just to drop off TB Note it is under the cache due to its size

Droppong TB off

#8 We walked through the field which was muddy and water logged as it was raining! Followed the GPS to the cache - a nice and easy find . Headed back a different way, much easier and we wished that we had used it the first time. TFTC!

Nice and easy just the way I like it.

Found it, nil in or out. TFTC.

We used to spend hours in this park when we lived in Sunnyhills. Thanks for the memories Butterfly_lady.

A cool morning (for us) made for a quick jog and find. Thanks for the location.

Easy find off on a tangent from Resthills Ramble multi cache. Lovely spot, TFTC

Yay was a pretty easy one!

A quick find on a beautiful sunny autumn day - a great spot for a stroll. TFTC

Found it with my Dad. Signed log as GuanoGerbil. OmaGosh, over and out...

Found it with my Dad. Signed log as GuanoGerbil. Thanks for the fun!

Another nice park I didn't know about - and to think I grew up nearby on Ohaupo Road! The early line of trees almost had me fooled until I realised that there was more to be found yet! Thanks for showing me this place BL.

Great spot even in the rain, one muggle, the only one of the day, well it was raining!! [8d]

Jogged in, Jogged out, speed caching with a hangover!

Went for a night time stroll through the park with a pocketful of lumens. Nice walk, and the cache was very quickly found. Looks nice at night. Cheers Gav [2072]

Took a longish way through the park to get to this one.
Looked like a nice park from what we could see in the dark.

The Freezer Mice strike again... this time the target was Resthills Park.
Found this cache easily enough, and then off to deal to the multi near by.

Easy find, nice to visit new places!

On a Hamilton cache-raid expedition with the inimitable XenaCommander.
XC parked up splat and we toddled off into this lovely grove. The cache was exposed. Covered up after signing the log.
TFTC

All aboard the greatest caching machine.. Suzuki SV650 (Splat!) with TechnoKitten riding shotgun. I suggested an anniversary day raid on Hamilton to see how many we can get. Came here for #8 of 20 for the day. We were still sparking on all cylinders as we parked splat and walked into this park. I love gum trees.. This is a lovely grove. Cache was uncovered and easy to find. Enjoyed the quiet while we signed log and replaced with more concealment.
Thanks for showing us this spot.

#27 Found this, but will "ramble" futher in the area another day [:-)]

After 2 days of working through Resthills Ramble (GCYVG1), this was a nice stroll across the park and a quick easy find.
Nice quiet spot compared to the otherside of the park which was playing host to a softball tournament.

The young fella seems better at this than i do must be getting old

Nice hide TFTC

This was the ninth of our ten attempts that day. The first five were great, but having missed two of the last three, we were losing confidence.

We needn't have been. This was a great little easy find, as a breather in the five-stage multi Resthills Ramble.

Beware ants and large spiders, but admire the site.

A nice wee park and a impressive tree. Took TB. TFTC!

Quick find in a great area. TFTC

In: Love Bug TB

A nice easy find in a nice spot - did this when I spotted it on the GPS screen while doing another close by - also very popular with the local ants

TNLNSL TFTC

No problem to find this one on another of my many park visits today.
manythanks.

Another wet walk through this park looking for the other cache therefore a nice easy one like this is good for the soul.
+ light blue glass stone
- teddy bear stamp

One heck of a park.... we should have done this one whilst doing another near by cache but instead we drove round the corner to find ourselves in the same park!!

Found with BFR was the 20th find for the day.
Found cache quickly with no troubles
Cheers

#243 Easy find, we was O Weary, after rambling relentlessly all over Resthill Park, for it’s namesake cache. This one was a consolation prize, as we were unable to complete the Resthill final today, because of underage drinking muggles stationed in front of GZ.

TNLNSL, TFTC

We are enjoying the visits to the various parks around Hamiltion. A quick easy find. TFTC

Next to Residential driving range.

Found today with Skweak who picked up coin to take south.

IN toy figurine
OUT toy lizard

Called by today and checked cache. Left Ice Rose geocoin to start it's journey.

#2 for the day, we were doing two cache searches at the time as I was progressing through a multi in the same place. My wife found this one.
Found at 12.55pm
-Cards, bracelet & loin
+ Puzzle, Teddy stamp, packet of rubbers.

4.10pm. Nice easy walk with Isaac and Vanessa after Christmas Dinner. Vanessa found it. TNLN Thank you David & Noeline

Cold and wet and coming from the wrong side of the park made it a little soggy. Put in playing card and took Goofy and his parachute

nice easy find as the GPSr was accurate to 0.35m which made for speed! Had to explain to the poor old fella walking his dog what I was up to, thought it better to just tell him, he mentioned something about 21st century treasure hunting back in my day son............

found a heap of caches today with dad, helirc, tgawookie and my mum. great day

Found with The Pud after completing the new nearby multi. Cheers.

Found with Rick-a-mortis while doing the summer event cache. This was just too close to pass up.

found this during looking for the clues to the new multi with Helirc, well it was just over there.

nice easy find

Found this by accident whilst looking for the event cache. Well - we had to be lucky somehow

7:40 pm 26th find
I soon found my way from Geocoin madness to this site and walked in.
I saw the low lying ground and thought here comes some more wet feet but it was Ok if you kept you eyes out. I spotted a slightly unnatural position of some cover material from several metres away and sure enough, there it was.
TNLNSL T4TC

Hope it survives Guy Fawkes! TNLNSL TFTC

Found today on a nice sunny early evening. Couple of muggles out exercising that I waiting for before pouncing on the easy find. Never new this park existed. Yet again geocaching has shown me more of hamilton i never new about.

Found this ages ago and forgot to log it.
GPS took me straight there.
TNLN
cheers, mitrou

As I approached the cache area, I suddenly felt really comfortable. I didn't realise why for a while, then it hit me. The gum trees! I found the cache fairly quickly and had to leave, a little homesick.

There must be something about Hamilton, the GPS is working well today, better than it ever has!! Another quick find.... although we got caught by a dog as we were scrabbling around in the trees, he looked pleased that he had found us....Trouble was we weren't lost!
TNLN. Thanks.
A lovely park, with the smell of fresh mowen grass, mmmm Summer!

just dropping off TB

easy find
on the way home to Nelson

Just dropping of TB

Dropped in for a TB swap. Goofy needed a rest here, and the NZ Snake needs to go slither closer to his goal in the South Island

A little walk we did partake
To shake the mud from Cameron Lake.
A dry out for myself and chum
A quick find round a towering gum.
Thanks NINO

Easy find. Grabbed TB

I saw the previous log and as I live nearby I picked up the cache and took it home, dried it out then repacked it and replaced it so it can go live again

Cache container replaced, TB Kiwi placed. Updated hint.

found while cycling in area. contents was wet, so put into a bag. -dinosaur rubber, +cat and bell. Thanks.

I have disabled this one temporarily, and hope to visit soon. Will fix the water problem, probably by replacing with a better container, and will check site for puddling etc. May be able to channel water away from hidey hole. Thanks Nudge, for your efforts, as I have been less mobile recently.

Found easily. Cache wet inside and is in a wet location as a puddle forms after heavy rain. Clue 1 a bit misleading.

Quick call in with Zork V , collected 2 TBs

Found with LS. Thought clue was a bit misleading, looked like it had already reached that goal.

In Plactic Dice

Out nothing.


Thanks for the hunt.

A quick visit this afternoon. Cache a little damp, mainly condensation. Dried out. Dropped in TB Texas

Dropped off $500 TB, needs to relax in this quiet park for a while before heading off on a tour of New Zealand.
