Some time ago I posted a reviewer note advising that you have 1 month in which to maintain this cache, however, you have failed to fix it.
This cache has therefore been archived due to a lack of owner maintenance.

We were definitely in the right place. Some of the ends have gone so I would say it's been muggled for sure. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
Had no one about and spotted the cache. Note the paint is starting to come off and log sheet is full.
Spotted and retrieved, signed log and then a muggle appeared from nowhere in the form of a schoolboy, who sat and watched us very closely, We couldn't replace cache so took it with us back to the car. It was then our turn to watch the secret rendezvous of schoolboy meeting with schoolgirlfriend and after some time we had to give up as they weren't moving away, so we took the cache on a tour of Oamaru and returned in the dark to replace it safely in its hiding place, our motel was just next door. TFTC.
This one had me looking for the all the nuts. Needs a new logbook as there is no room left (I signed over the top of someone).
Easy find and coords were spot on. Sadly muggle arrived just as was about to replace cache. Had to replace it about 40cm south of where the clue suggests.
Well overdue for a logging session - will have to get better at logging! TFTC
Found with Johnnygoescaching on trip to Timaru

TFTC, one of 41 caches on the johnnygoescaching trip to Timaru. Sorry for another cut and paste job (logging 48 caches today).
Only geocachers are mad enough to visit parks in the rain. Not too much rain - enough to keep muggles away but allow cachers to find the cache. TFTC
Tried a few different methods of retrieval before being successful however it was just as difficult to put back! TFTC (690)
Had a laugh at this one as Mollymop and Birdflu raced to find it first and ended up running into a swampy mudhole. TFTC
Ended up running into a big muddy puddle. But when we found the cache it was a good hide.TFTC.
heheQuiet morning with no one around. Retrived cache. Log book still needs replaced. TFTC
Had to jump to retrieve it, then muggled before I could replace it by teenage boys rolling down the hill (thats a new one). Drove off and returned three times before amorus couple finally left seat at gz. Log book full! TY.
A quick dash and grab, forgot a pen, so another dash back to cache-mobile and back again. TNLN Thanks.
When we arrived at the park there were two youngsters riding bikes near the cache; when we approached them they rode off and after that it was a fairly quick find.
Thanks.

Great hide, shouldn’t be a problem for the vertically challenged. Mini YuGeo managed the retrieval… with a bit of assistance. Many thanks.
NOTE: Logsheet is full.

I am going to claim a smiley for this one as I am approaching my 100. Found it easy enough but like others couldn't reach it> I shall do a MacArthur and will return to sign another day.

Cache found in our third day of holidays in New Zealand.
With two people is easy to catch it

Oh dear, left my heels at home, had to improvise a bit on this one. Luckily no-one about to watch my antics.

2278. After stopping for tea and partly settling down for the night we decided to take our torches and look for this nearby cache. We found it quickly enough then there was a little bit of head scratching while we thought about how to retrieve it. A good adventure in the dark of night.
Thanks

What a clever idea, great clue and the added bonus of no on lookers.
Thanks

Some people found retrieval hard and some found replacement hard. We found both hard.
Some of us shorter primates need elementary tool making skills! Fun in the dark in the park. Thanks.
Great cache. I'd better not say too much, or I'll give it away. Let's just say that retrieval was easier than replacement. And you might say this would be a great family cache. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1227)
Retrieving the cache was tricky but putting it back was a breeze- just threw it!
Only our second FTF thanks for the cache great fun... but so exposed... it kept us on our "toes" literally in the early am today!
