Logs for Freefall 

Went on the boat to the area. Have to say M@, this is so far the best cache I have done. What a stunning piece of NZ scenery and I had the whole beach to myself..The cache is in excellent condition. Took out pliers and left stapler set. A few more like this wouldn't go amiss.......Freefall 

Hi Smokers, Manage to find this one without a GPS - I wonder why. Sneaky cabbage tree but good cache. Took out knife to replace the one that went the same way as GPS. Put in hair clip comb - This is for Kevin's hair in a high wind.Unable to take pic as my camera is with my knife, GPS etc with Sydney, bless him. To other geo-cachers , warning, Smoking Gunners are becoming just a tad devious. Beware.
Have a great Christmas ....................Freefall 

This proved to be elusive mainly because it seemed unreasonable. We found what proved to be the cache site on 4 separate occasions but just didn't believe that it was placed where it was. Agility and a certain trimness of form was required which seems grossly unfair to sincere Geocachers of a more generous framework. If all of HLD's caches are of this calibre then we might give them a miss. Sorry HDL but it seems to defeat the object of the exercise 

Good cache: Taught me to pay attention to the directions a bit more closely. S.E. is a general direction not pin point accuracy, so always see the big picture. After all that the walk to the top was exhilirating with fantastic views from the top. The walk down was even more exhilirating trying to keep up with a young gazelle racing down in front of me. 

Great walk through the woods. Found Goliath and took photographs, then just started to look for cache when M@ turned up, so we had a combined search. The line honours must go to M@ as he put his hand on it first.He took out a tape measure, so we put a different one back and took the key holder. Not quite first on this one NZWide, but close enough.Keep them coming. We then took M@ for a cup of tea & biscuit and had a long chat about Geocaching, sea kayaking and GPS navigation. Nice.........Freefall

Hi NZWide, Thanks for a stunning part of the countryside. Found without too much difficulty - good clues as per usual, the GPS doesn't like being under the canopy. Now that's what you might call a Kauri tree. Delighted to be your first visitor again............Freefall 

Thank you Artful Dodger -the second cache of a very wet and windy day, so the view was not grand, however they all count..Freefall 

No trouble finding cache - but hugely muddy after all the Auckland winter rain. Cache in good condition considering.Took out gorilla , put in photo frame..........Freefall 

Green Eagle again - third one on the trot - We must stop meeting this way. Nicely hidden cache, wasn't on a plate. Stunning views except for the oil refinery. Sun cream in and batteries out. Isn't it nice when the sun shines............Freefall. 

Hi Green Eagle: This must be a delight on a warm sunny summers day - however today Whangarei recorded it's monthly rainfall in one day. There are a lot of rocks with flax bushes on top and big trees beside them - eventually I found the right one. I'm wet, I'm dirty so I think I will go and try for Whau Valley - Freefall 

Hi Green Eagle: Second Green Eagle today, does that constitute a flock. Very wet, very muddy, went A over T on the fence line. This geocaching is character building.............Freefall 

Nice one Phil, Absolutely stunning views. Delighted to have been first.Nice cache on a really beautiful day. 10.09.2003....Freefall 

All present and correct. Cache is where it said it was. Enough people have commented on the cutty grass. Left a CD from another cache - its all rock and roll. Took nothing...........Freefall 

At last we found it - second attempt. Cache was barely dry.Took pen, left dice. 

Thank you Peejay - nice stroll through the bush in decent sunshine for a change, smack on the coordinates. CD out - pen in.....Freefall 

Hi Smoking Gun,
Just to let you know we found it - Nice one, no fish - Put in Tape dispenser, took out sun cream. Thanks for a great view. Freefall 

The troll's tent is still there even if he is not - see HLD's narrative. Up and down the cliff a couple of times but eventually persistence paid off. Took the batteries as the GPS was dying, 2nd cache this day, left dollar coin as it was the only treasure I had on me at the time. Will go back one day and make suitable contribution. You could get killed on that motorway. The log paper is getting very full - a new logbook could be in order..........Freefall 

Stunning walk through good bush. Who would guess you are about 2 miles from Sky Tower as the crow flies. Got the heart pumping. Cache in good condition. Took nothing - left nothing....Thank You, Kim.....Freefall 

Reiterate everything everyone else has said. This has to be a joke. Cm'on Waatz - get your act together.Definitely nothing out - definitely nothing in. 

Container still split. Contents a bit damp. Dried them out as best we could. See what M@(Tofska) had to say and agree with it all.Has Waats emigrated. Nothing in - Nothing out. 

FreeFall:Found after a bit of searching - The elephant's head is no longer with us. It is gone, deceased, demised or gone to the great elephant graveyard in the sky. Put in key fob, took nothing out. Cache in good condition. 

Nice easy one to start the day: Only found by reading revised coordinates: Nothing in - Nothing out. Cache in OK condition,,,,,,,,,,,Freefall 

Good cache, Put in carrying strap for GPS, or camera,took out fishing lure - took two attempts to find it....Freefall

This is my first find so it will have a special place in The Geocache Hall of Fame. Great site with a great view. I visited it twice but only recorded once. Second visit was to prove the GPS was OK. It was..................Freefall
