I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Hi waitaki999This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

Never actually been down this road (track) once again seeing evidence of a new irrigation project going on. A bit muddy so had to finish up on foot to get cache.

We crossed the river on the old bridges with the replacement bridges well inder way beside us. We had a pleasant drive up the other side until we reached the end. Looks great for fishing.

What a nice lovely secluded spot this is. No time for fishing or anything restful like that, it's caching time! Cheers waitaki999.

Lovely drive down the Anglers Access right to GZ. Parked 3m away. The river is high and flowing very fast. Lovely turquious colour. Probably not very good for fishing at the moment.

No angler, no cattle, nothing... Only a cache and a quick grab. Nice view across the river. TFTC

Looks like great fishing spot - road no trouble. Noticed the dog trial areas, feel sorry for the animals when you look at the height they have to climb. Greart cache. Thanks

Found cache quite easily. Didn't have any swaps on me to exchange. Filled in log and left my calling card. Took some photos.
The spot would be a very nice place for a picnic, reasonably grassy and with a great outlook on to the river. Very pleasant.

Interesting. The map shows the road going a lot further. I should have taken better note of the sign on the gate. A fine day. TNLN, Thanks.
 
1st cache found of 6 total finds, this fine caching afternoon in Kurow.

Found cache site even before I stopped the car.
Nice and simple find, and a nice spot as well.

As for the road in . . .an F1 car could've made it down there today.

Cheers

As I have said before, caching takes us to places off the beaten track we would never have gone too, and this is one of them. I wonder where the “new slip†is?

Thanks.

NIce little drive and easy find. Do like these "where does that Rd go to?" caches.

A good spot for it, Mrs Moose went off taking photo's of the sunset and river and I found the cache. Only past one other fisherman up here looking for a spot to catch something, I had to explain to Mrs that the dics on the hill were for sheep trials (they are aren't they??). TNLN Thanks.

Easy find. TFTC

At first we thought this must be on the other side of the river and when we couldn't find an access point we thought we would have to leave it. But upon looking for Hakataramea Cemetery what road did we find ourselves on? Spotted the hiding place before the car stopped moving.

Man that river looked nice to day.

Thanks Bitsprayer
