The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Planning a visit to Orewa in weekend - wondering if this has been checked lately as lots of dnfs???
Thanks Smile

Nothing! DNF! Needs to be disabled or archieved.
 
19-Feb-12
Attempted to find this without success. Without an immediate find we checked the recent logs and decided to give up on it.
 
17-Feb-12
We could not find the micro - so we made a photo.
Please have a look if someone took the micro away.
 
19-Jan-12
Dnf, along with five other cachers, needs to be checked

A DNF for us after a thorough search of the area.

Another DNF for me. Had a very good look. Perhaps cache needs to be replaced.

Wow - great disguise, and surprised this survives without attention from someone. TFTC Smile
 
29-Apr-11
We went camping on the weekend. Arrived at the campsite, set up camp, and realised there was a cache just over 100m from where we'd set up camp.
So after we were all organised, went on a bit of an exploration walk.
Got the GZ right quicker than the GPS (the name gave it away) But had to do two laps of the spot before spotting it!
TFTC!! Smile

This one is missing. Put us down for a DNF on this one and please archive this one (or replace).

TFTC.
 
30-Jan-11
Bit of a long shot even considering looking for this one after all the DNF logs. But a DNF for us also. Perhaps its time this one was replaced or archived.Sad
 
09-Jan-11
DNF for us too. Looks like some maintenance has been done recently, wonder if the cache has been a casualty?

Either that or we missed the point of this one and got too fixated on one (or two) area(s)
 
09-Jan-11
clock us up for a DNF on this one, pretty clear where the cache should be we thought but the place was spotless, perhaps the council have been through lately.
 
30-Dec-10
Sad DNF. Sat for quite a while both sides. Might be time to check this one.
 
27-Dec-10
No go here, We didn't spend too much time searching due to the previous logs... Had a good little search concerntrated around the 2 seats... But nothing...

Yesterday, we arrived in Auckland. Today, on our first day with the campervan in New Zealand, we were heading north and our very first stop was in Orewa. We walked a bit on the beach, saw our first Norfolk Pines - and then we looked for this cache. Easy find.

TFTC #546 (our 4th cache in New Zealand Smile )
Many Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!

With the 800 northernmost traditionals on my Garmin, we check if anything is close whenever we stop - like we did here to have a look at the beach. As is most usually the case, there was one in the vicinity - and it was soon discoverd.

TFTC!

We were staying at the nearby camping ground over the long weekend and decided to start off by doing this one first.

When we arrived at the location we encountered the new geocachers, snugglemum. It was nice to meet up with a group of first time geocachers.

Thanks for a nice hide.
