We found our first geocache

March 5, 2006 | In Geocaching, Geocaches |

Well we found our first geocache yesterday - and it was very exciting. The geocache was Cling-on-Cafe and is located on Aucklands North Shore in New Zealand. The location is Kauri Park, a native bush reserve that has the most large Kauri trees I ever remember seeing in one place.

We first went to find it on Saturday, but after searching the cache site for about 30 minutes we had to go back to the car as our 1 year old was getting crabby in the backpack after being poked by branches as I foraged in the undergrowth.

So it was back to the cache site, this time just myself and my 3.5 year old son. Again after getting to the cache site we had to search for about 20 minutes. We were about to call it a day again when I noticed something from the clue so decided to check it out. On closer investigation, sure enough, there was the cached half hidden in the grass.

The geocache has got a fridge magnet theme so in went a plunket magnet and out came a chocolate magnet.

We then signed the book and got out of there. Looking forward to the next geocaches.

  1. Isn’t that first find exciting? Congratulations. I am just getting started myself in geocaching. Looks like we started about the same time.

    I’ll link to your blog in my blogroll so I can check back and see how you are getting along with geocaching.

    Have a great day

  3. Thank you for the link. We were planning to go out and hunt caches today but the weather is not really cooperating. A week or so ago we had nice spring weather and I was out in shorts and tshirts. Now it’s cold, windy, rainy and a hunt of snow in the forcast.

    Maybe I will catch up on some reading today and get some research done on the next caches to hunt…that way we’ll be ready to go with everything loaded in the GPSr.

    Have a great day,
    ~Brandon
