As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

This cache is obviously in trouble. Pity.
 
06-Nov-13
Looked for ages were it obviously should be. Couldn't find
 
03-Nov-13
Whoops, should have checked previous logs. Spotted these guys at GZ. Still warm!
 
05-Oct-13
Not present. Not found since 2012

Okay, after watching these logs and having a friend new to geocaching NOT find this cache i thought i would go and take a look-see this afternoon. I've 'found' the cache on three different occasions, and know 'Metal-Art' has been there a number of times as well (visiting with other geocachers). I've also visited a month or so ago and the cache wasn't there then, and wasn't there today! Well, not in the form or place i originally found it. I'm not convinced the previous 'found' log is genuine. I'll contact the CO to discuss options ... seems a terrible shame to archive this one ... but something should happen.

Cache was spread across the floor
 
13-Sep-13
Looked for ages Sad
 
07-Sep-13
Why is this cache still enabled? No one has found it since Oct 2012! and the only logs since have been DNFs. Just adding mine to the growing list.
 
13-Aug-13
Looked but could not find
 
24-Jul-13
noted that previous logs could not locate but decided to have a look anyway. The hint was GREAT! & we were obviously in the write place based on other logs that had found it, but unfortunately we could not locate it. May need to be checked.
 
23-Feb-13
Looked, but not achieved. Will try for this one another day//
 
20-Jan-13
DNF for me as well.
 
19-Jan-13
Had a good look around hint item, found some toys that may have been swaps, and some zip-lock bags lying around, no sign of cache. Time to fix or archive.
 
28-Oct-12
Couple of kids toys laying around but no sign of the cache.
 
20-Oct-12
Searched for this today but no luck. Metal-art who had found it before had a look & said it was missing
 
19-Oct-12
Accompanied longstaffclan and can confirm that it is definitely missing.
 
26-Aug-12
Nice and easy, but well hidden? Nice to see such a large cache , wish i had some trackables to leave behind.

Applescrumble and I had come for a brief look for this one last weekend but were running late for a birthday party so didn't hunt as widely as we should have. Back with Mr Orsome4some this morning who made it look easy. What a fabulous specimen that must have been (and I'm not talking about Mr O!)

Removed Moontaners California Sun Micro Geocoin and Lord of the GPS Geocoin.

Our very first Geocache ... and we found a 'trackable'! Nice and easy ... and close to home. A great start to this addictive hobby. Trackable taken on a journey with Scout troop for the weekend, cycling over the Rimutaka Incline, visiting other caches, and then kayaking the Ruamahanga River, visiting more caches in the Wairarapa.

08-Jan-12
Good stuff
 
31-Dec-11
Felt like a Hobbit next to the hint object, especially as I too was on a quest - to log my 800th find before the arrival of 2012 - but was soon moving on to my next destination. Nice to see such a large container in play.
 
22-Dec-11
Great area, especially being a LOTR location, and nice hide as well. TFTC

13-Feb-11
#379. A quick find on a day where everything went wrong. Once we figured out what area the cache was probably in, we took a look. That is the biggest 'stumped' we've ever seen used for a cache! Spent a few minutes looking... among the virulent cicadas. Found shortly after. Thanks! SL TFTC.

'Tis the season to be jolly, and 'tis the season to be caching
And a jolly good cache this one was....
Mmmmm... interesting, hard to envisage the shores of the Anduin and the departure of the hobbits and accompanying adventurers.
Cache find was reasonably straightforward, all in order, signed log and returned as found.

Perfectly good place for a cache, but it is interesting comparing Palmerston North caching with Upper Hutt just how much garbage litters the sites of my home town.
 
06-Nov-10
Not a difficult find when out with sfortyoner but what scumbags would dump rubbish in the cache area. TFTC.

Impressive hide and inpressive sized cache. Shame I didn't bring any swaps!

(Worth strolling a few metres north up the trail to get some good views of the river. Another regret that I had not brought my camera!)
