Marcus and Michael Cache II (Auckland) Northcross, North Island, New Zealand
By BenMc on 18-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZDHC

Cache well and truely gone. Dubious activity nearby dispite nice houses around so letting it go

Creative parking is not an issue for Mr Geckoh, especially in Geckoh. Unfortunately we were unable to locate this cache, plenty of muggle activity in this area. Could the owner please check, when convenient, that the cache is still where placed.

Went to this one with Roel while out biking. He had been before but we were unable to find the cache. May have to go back to this one later.

Quick find, couldn't find the entrance so parked quite a way away. Felt a little silly when we realised we had driven straight past it!

+ Dog TB
- Nothing

TFTC!

Quick find after crossing busy road.

The blip marking the cache zipped passed on our GPS as we drove by so we took the first turn and hopped out to get to GZ. Crossed the bridge and after a brief hunt had the cache in hand. Very nice. TFTC.

Managed to find a park just round the corner.,
Was going to attempt number 1 but we took a wrong turning so carried on for others nearby.
Easy find thanks

Dried out cache and replaced logbook and put in pen

A very wet find, drained out some more water but log book to wet to sign

container full of water , drained it out but the log book is saturated .early morning find no muggles about. TFTC

Before anyone asks, no, the bong that was under the bridge was not mine. Cheers Gav [2385]

Found it without too much hassle in the end.

13:47 On the way to the cache, we took a bit of short cut that ended up being someone's driveway. But we found a better way back to Durbanite's car, which at first we thought was someone's driveway.

Quick find at GZ, thanks for the cache good use of camo colour. TNLN.

found on the second day of a cache raid with Kiwi_Explorer

Found with Q Moto. Found a semi creative park. Felt a bit exposed at gz. TFTC.

It looks like I will have to check this one out too Drowned cache no. 3! NOTE don't use Sistema Containers they leak!

Dried out cache and moved slightly to a dryer location

Found by my young agile geocaching partner.

Cache was half full of water after the storm last night. Log book still quite dry so sealed it all up as well as we could and replaced it.

TFTC

Dried out cache and may relocate if fills up again. Please take care not to overload this cache as I think plastic bags catching in the lid causes the wetness

Extremely wet, emptied but needs proper dry out.

Cache full of water, emptied out cup of water and removed ruined items. Log still dry. TFTC

Nice hide. The area is almost finished. Can''t believe someone put the same old-fashioned curtains in their new house!! Cache was flooded. Drained the water out. Log is still dry.
Logged at 1430.

Found this one on a quick tour with my Dad, Moneydork.

An easy find.
Great spot with the autumn leaves. TFTC.

An interesting little hide away area - thats going to backyards to people very soon. Thanks for the hide.

The kids found this one by themselves, their first without adult help, while I was working nearby. TFTC.

Found with Pooke

Wet find in the rain, cache is dry.

Parked up top. Wandered down. Construction guys didn't even seem to notice. They might though if it was their beers I took! Found a box that only had two beers left, so think this might be a spot for the teens to drink . . . . if after dark, they won't see the cache. If still light enough, they very well might. More camo needed? Left Stoney Crab TB & a yellow pen. Took only the beers.

Got slightly confused with another cache of the same name so was abit surprised to find no TB [:o)]. Nice spot in what is going to be a crowded area. TNLNSL. T4TC

2nd attempt as there were builders working nearby so tried later in the evening.
I remember just trees and fields along here now every time i return there are new housing blocks.
I wish i could have one.

Did this one after the number one and it is just as good, if not better. Amazing to find such a quiet spot just meters from the hussle and bussle of the Auckland traffic. Thanks for the cache.

Ol Muzza got bored at work today so went for a bit of a drive for a "site investigation" whilst Dug is in school.
Investigated the site & found a plastic box..... feel far better now.
I see there are more caches nearby so better do some more site investigations & start enjoying work.
TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

Found a quick parking spot, sprinted over the man made object, leaping high barriers etc etc.... no, actually sent the RadioNut in the drizzle to retrieve... left My Precious TB.
An interesting accessway. Busy road indeed.

Nice quick find, no problems at all. TNLNSL, TFTC

Fairly easy find, although did slip and got a muddy bottom - again!! - TFTC TNLN SL

Nice and easy find! TNLNSL just before the rain started bucketing down!!!

Geocaching with sww and family. Approached cache from [the main road through the steel gate] and managed to tread carefully and avoid the large hole. Mrs sww found this - even without her GPS !!!

#5 today. Quick find when we could find a way in. Mrs SWW got this one. Will be a really nice spot once building is finished etc. Bit of a busy road though.
Out Doll & ball
In Stamp and stencil.
TFTC.

Just a quick quarterly check. Everything seems fine

Amazing how big a house you can fit on so small a piece of land, I think they look bigger as just a frame, rather than the completed house. Found my way through the park to the cache. Amazing how the developers can pretend to leave land aside to create nice parks where, in reality, they can't do anything with an area prone to flooding!

Nice new place

+ Fiji Coin and Ball

- Teaspoon

With dog and daughter decided to avoid the creative parking and took the long way round. Easy find.
- parachutist toy
+ barbie toy
TFTC

Easily found but Tim had his hand on it and didn't realize what it was until we pointed out to him that it was the cache in fact. We found this harder than normal as we were searching by the light of a cell phone. The cache is in good condition.
+parachutist and ball
- hyundai blow up balloons( very good to play with had fun with them)

I drove through the new suburbia to get near this one.

A quick find on way back from Long Bay, Decided to park in 'parking spot' just about opposite on main road. Once jumped fence and went under branch was a quick find.

2nd time lucky! We got interrupted last time by teen muggles, but this time it was nice and quiet except for the bulldozers around

TFTC

+ marbles, party popper
- toy lizard

Took the "creative parking" option and jumped the fence. Seem to be getting better at creative parking since taking up geocaching. Many thanks BenMc

Went this morning, but then battery flat in GPS, so had to postpone. Went back this afternoon, but two muggles parked in car were there, so we had to postpone again
Btw branch still broken.

Sniffed out the usual places.

Found number I so had to find number II. Was a nice walk from I to II. Not to hard to find.

TFTC

In spicky rubber ball.
Out dinosor

Easy find. Tree branch has broken off and crashed over the bridge, however the way to the cache is still an easy walk. Interesting to see this development of what must have been a great rural landscape in the not too distant past. Dropped off TB.

Thought I would watch the All Blacks thrash the French before caching, this gave me a forth to find. Never mind, always happy to do a local cache.. Thanks BenMc.

In Tigger Traveller

I saw this late Saturday Evening and momently thought to do a night visit but instead went to bed. However I did set off at daybreak and had this cache (and the FTF) in hand at 5:40 a.m. I think it was. Last time I looked there was easy access to this cache but the ? council have made things a bit more difficultit seems.
I was intending to leave a geocoin but in the dark I had grabbed some unregistered TB tags instead. Never mind.

TNLNSL T4TC

#437. Found with Ouentte and Van Helsing (who had finally been tempted out of the darkness of the car). Just as we arrived a stream of 12-15 Ferraris drove past resplendent in red and yellow. Took game, left lizard key ring. Left TB. TFTC.

Up early off to band practice & this pops up on da net while Im forcing down brekky. Rush out the door with band gear from the studio,it'll only take a sec,& then on the stage.
Only 2 mins down the M/way ,up the rd & run down to GZ,at 7.30am only to find Navigull had been already about an hr before---@##$%^%^&***!!!!! Talk about the story of the three little pigs!
Next time Roger Fitch!!! Any way, thanks for the cache,look forward to more in the future.SL.
