As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi There,
This cache has had a "Needs Maintenance" log posted on it by a cacher. Can you please either fix the issue with the cache or temporarily disable it so that cachers know not to visit it until the maintenance has been performed.

Once the cache has been maintained then please re-enable it and post an "Owner Maintenance" log, in order to cancel out the "Needs Maintenance" attribute on the cache page.

If the cache isn't maintained within a month then I will need to assume that it has been abandoned and archive it.

I searched and searched and searched and couldn't find this one

Definitely couldn't find this after spending some time in area. Eventually left the area due to arrival of muggles.

[Really puzzled as to why I couldn't find this one with clue - unless I totally misinterpreted what] capping [means. Lovely park somewhat frustrated I came away empty handed.]

This cache is definately gone. Despite half an hour with 2 of searching up, down and round about -its no where to be seen. i think I found the place where it was most likely hidden. Could you please check up on it?

couldnt find it, looks like area has been dug up, dirt on capping.

Gone!

Definitely missing - needs maintenance.

Looked for with Troodles and Tomkan. Despite there being pretty detailed instructions about where to look, and there being 4 of us, we still failed to find. Might have been muggled????

I looked all around and using the hint. could not find it. I may have been tired from a long day's walking and caching. I'll log a DNF as I'm visiting from the US and can't get back. TFTH!

We had to search around a bit for this one - the hint didn't work out for us, so we tried the other 'left' then the other 'left' then the only remaining 'left'!! We got there in the end + polar bear. TFTC

Our first Cache, found it Ok. Thanks for hiding it, TNLN.

Great place for kids to play. Felt very conspicuous looking for the cache. TFTC TNLN

Now i understand the clue - have learnt something new. Cheers - M@

Found it allright between the muggles came and went. Had our lunch there in the beautiful sunny day. Thanks for bringing us to the beautiful location and the cache.

Came here with a friend in January. Logging our caches now we have joined

No water today, cache fine. TFTC

Council staff busy pumping out the lake - recent rain must have been too much too quick! Fortunately the boat and cache were still afloat and gumboots were not needed while boarding. TFTC. TNLN.

Pulled and thought OH NO the whole park was under water, but the cache was find.

Many Thanks Bitsprayer

Very nice boat like structure. Some muggles nearby but managed the find it with a bit of stealth and they were none the wiser.

#1173 As there were three entries we had a choice of locations to examine. Nice place though. TNLN DS8300, Nicky, Netty, John T, John W.

really good i liked the way it was hidden

Took us longer than it should - lots of little muggles passing through. We've only just started this geocaching business, so to think that, for many months, we have been at the park unaware of the 'secret world' of geocaches is quite freaky. How many times have we passed it by unnoticed? Took and left. TFTC

Had to go back a couple of times for this one,mid afternoon and holiday period its a popular place. TFTC, TNLN

Quick find on the return from a MEGA afternoon on the MTB. TFTC.
Cheers,
G.

Easy find, a few people around in the park but far enough away not to be a problem

Nice park, in a quiet area. TinkyWinky

Nice location

Nice spot, thanks. found after thinking about it.

Cheers!

Introduced a couple of geokids to this one, they loved the evil geocoin. Moved it on to the next cache.

Walked the dog this morning,
Then across to Hanks we popped.
We found the hidden pottle,
and two coins we also swapped!

Nice warm windy day for a geocache.
Left a travel bug...

A cold bleak day, ideal for this sort of Cache. Still felt a bit exposed but we got there in the end.
TNLN
Thanks,
S.T.

Felt a bit conspicuous. Nice spot.

Nice easy find.

- TB

Looking for a cache large enough to put the TB JD Dozer in... this certainly wasn't it!! Left James Tiberius TB instead.
An easy find though, on a cold clear winter's day.

Found this bad boy with only a google maps screen shot!

Too cold for anyone to be about. Nice park. Thanks.

Great find with kids and friends. Took scorpion TB keytag.

Just a quick stop here today for this cache. As we approached we saw that there were a great number of muggles in the area, luckily when we got to GZ we could complete the cache without being spotted Love the name TFTC

+ TB Scorpian

Wow! what a neat community asset. Every community should have a common area like this. Easy find for the cache. Thanks

A nice easy warmup for the forest caches.
TFTC!

Our first cache! We dont even have a GPS yet but with the help of google earth and a few screen shots, we were able to get there! Plenty of midget muggles around but managed to get in un detected.
Took: Bottle opener
Left: Union Jack shot glass

Nice gentle start to our trip back to Dunners.

Nice easy find for the school hols. Geokids did the business then played in the playground.

+ 5 water balloons, TFTC

Found after a little searching. Met two lovely NZ lady muggles having lunch nearby and they were fascinated by what we were up to! Thanks for the cache.
Took: Tube of beads
Left: Bottle opener

Nice easy find while geokiddies played in a new playground.

- Car and keyring.
+ Beeds, photoframe, fridge magnet.

Cache in good condition. TFTC!

No muggles this time.
Nice quick find - great to get this one off the list after my attempt back in January.
- Geocoin.

This was a nice easy find even with some nearby muggles. They took no notice of me. Added a very interesting geocoin and took the one that was here.

What a fantastic park! Daughter had to have a play while we were there. Looks like a nice spot for a street party (BBQ provided, even).
Cache was not much trouble to find (a few muggles to keep an eye on).
-Unite for Diabetes TB + CKayak's 2005 Geocoin
Daughter: -Toy dog +toy car

Finally got to get this one tonight,, took Bronnie along with her camera and it didnt look so bad while I was looking around,,with a few little muggles about..cheers Ryan and thanks very much,,, Bo

Lots of muggle kids about made the hunt a little harder. Thanks for the accurate directions, makes it a bit less suspicious TNLN Thanks.

Good find this morning,an unknown area we haven't been to before.
Dropped off Diabetes TB
TNSL

our first NZ cache. easy find - sat down right next to it.
TNLN. Thanks.

Took some friends out to find a cache after having lunch. Nive new village green that wasn't too far from home. A quick easy find, it took my friends a little longer. Cheers Gav [1054]

A relatively easy find - even without the clue.
I guess I should be glad that I found condom wrappers, rather than used contents, before I found the cache.
-Pixie TB. Thanks.

Went out caching today with a friend, lucky too as I attempted this last week with no success. Came back today and she was straight onto it. I'm glad someone was thinking outside of the square.
+ Percy the Pixie TB
- Lizard

Took a little bit to find as we decided which entrance the GPSr wanted to settle on. TNLN.

Didn't find it near where my GPS settled and couldn't expand my search due to muggle infestation (kids playing hide and seek in the garden).

The last of 3 finds today, the quickest and the easiest the other 2 being multies. A few muggles playing nearby took no notice of me. Good hiding place thanks. TNLN

Nice fine day for some caching. TNLN T4TC. Cheers.

Caching in the rain is great - no muggles to avoid!! Easy find this time. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(744)

STF Nearly went out last night too!!
No swaps.

Place Drumheller in this Cache

1303. Well we got the notification of this new cache and couldn't resist it. It is a long time since we have set off deliberately for a FTF and it felt good!
We took the geocoin and the car and left a dog and a lizard.
Thanks Ryrager for the challenge
