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

Hi TheB0rg

This 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.

Regards

One more look today in three separate places. Nothing resembling a cache container felt. Giving up on this one. Needs a CO visit or archiving.

No luck today

Not a good day for caching. Had a good look and could not find.

No dice today, had a good hunt for a fair while in all areas not fenced off.
Nothing to find and nothing able to relate to the title to assist however reading back perhaps cache has been moved and is now also MIA

I have tried for this a couple of times now. Never really sure where to look due to the coordinates not being great. Today with some new updated coordinates tried again but same old story. Tried to get my hand and arm into places that don't come naturally to someone with ham fists. Nothing felt. Could still be there but would need a person with me who has snake like skills to reach into the places that I could not get near today.

Building has been recently painted... possible MIA..

Could not find

Tftc pretty sure i found but o ly short so could pull it out. Ask me and i will say where

Had a good poke around for ages, unfortunately not there for us today. Thanks anyway, hopefully will be back at some other time.

Coordinates appear to be in private residence.

Early morning ride topped off w/ a cache. TFTF

Tftc. Good hide. Thanks to previous loggers for updated coordinates.

I've been here before but I did not search for the cache because of the clearly erroneous coords and persistent muggles. Today I had Talla64's coords and an empty park which resulted in an instant find. Given that this cache was moved a significant distance in 2016 and now doesn't really seem related to the title it seems to me this would have been better archived in its original form and a new cache created here. Nice to finally find this. TFTC.

# 1700 Out and about with the boy today to find a cache to keep the streak alive. This was an easy park and grab and was visible on approach, so made sure i tucked it a bit better away for the next finder. Nice and tidy inside but no magnets to be seen. Took it back to the boy in the car for an inspection anyway. Cheers for an easy one Borg.

# 296 Mum is catching up on all my logs. So i would have found this cache with Gr33nslime at some point. Im only three but hoping that I have more found more caches than weeks alive! Thanks for the cache. i enjoy swapping all the toys!

Hopefully mum got this one right, she just published 40 logs that werent the right log! Clearly mum does not know how to use GSAK!

Very easy, literally only there for maybe 30 seconds before we found it

Out with Flowerydaze but this one had us fooled for a while with the dodgy coords about 15 Metres out. Suggest you try S41 05.861 E175 05. 488, that and the hint should get you there.

Co-ords were way off for this one but a quick find using a bit of geosense and the hint. Tftc.

This one I had to work to find .not over the fence like it shows but hint tols me .one thing i have big hands so it make it hard .thanks I enjoyed it

I think I found the cache - There was a sistema at the hint location but it was completely empty. I added a sheet of paper and put it back. Let me know if I found something else!

Thank you

Fun find took a little bit of searching tftc

this is the only park with no one there today, thats good for me, not sure if it was geosense or common sense but soon had this one in hand, tftc

TFTC

Tftc

Nailed it

No pen with us but found it after initial confusion about the private property... fun spot!

The coordinates points into the very private yard next door.. but I managed to figure out where it was anyway.
Going to the South Island this morning, but had time for a few quick ones.

Found at 07:13 - #7932 - on a 5 week trip in New Zealand

TFTC

Log to follow

Found with Injeanious as we explored the area during the Mega weekend. We signed some logs as team JeJe to save time and space. TFTC!

No luck here today.

Out with TaybeeDragon and the Etherlord Clan and ... someone else wot I don't remember. Working on our 11 types in a day, given that today is Mega Day. We pre-found this cache yesterday, so as to speed up the running around needed to get the 11 types today, so this time it was a very quick find .

---

Day 2 of my Mega trip. Two weeks of travel with Taybeedragon, from Blenheim to the 2018 mega event, then on to my mum's eightieth birthday in Rotorua via the East Cape and Tauranga and the hole in the ground that is Waihi, Dropped the dragon off in Wellington while I continued on to Motueka for more family time before at last arriving home. We may have only found 230 caches over that 3000 km, but I qualified for 4 badge upgrades, hit the 10,000 cache mark, and even have a missing month ticked off! Throughout most of the trip we targeted special caches - earth caches, virtuals, wherigos, etc, although there were a lot of traditionals too. On the cache maintenance side about eight caches were replaced, and many more logs were added to or replaced. Today is Mega day, so its working on 11 types in a day for some of my friends. I already have 12 types, so I'm just helping them out. Many thanks to everyone who made this an awesome trip!

Day 2 -Wgtn Mega - Upper Hutt

Its out early with Etherlord, to snag and tag this one before attending the mega. A quick find today as we had checked it out last night. Cheers. Trying for 11 types in a day.

The Seagnoid, Zara and I are on another epic caching adventure for the next two weeks, starting with the Wellington Mega, then East Cape, Taraunga, Waihi, Rotorua and back to Wellington. Its been an awesome journey, over 2500 klms later, visiting many amazing places. Thanks to all COs

Found quickly enough after a short stroll from the car park.
This was cache type number 3 for the day - we eventually managed 11 types! (my previous best was 8 types from the 2016 Mega in Turangi)

Found on a great mega weekend

The Seagnoid was happy to lay down on the ground and find this one for us!
Thanks for the cache!

Ste with his skinny arms managed to grab this. Found on day 2 of our rimutaka cycle ride. Tftc.

My gps put me in the neighbors back yard but the hint told me where to find it. I could see it but thought I may have had to leave it for next week when Sir Belac arrives and use his skinny arm to get it but I managed to get a fingertips to it and ease it out. I may still bring Sir Belac here as we will be staying at the campground up the road. TFTC Magnetic B0rg

#7938

The coordinates seem to be in someone's garden. Following the hint took me to the corner of an adjacent building. People in the nearby animal establishment made a proper search impossible, but new boards along the back of the building make it difficult to reach or see under. The cache may be here but somewhere I couldn't see or feel. Come back another day when there are no people about.

My arms aren’t small enough to grab the cache. Seen but not signed. Fun walk in area not visited before. Thanks.

Tricky find. A wee way from coords. Hard to get at spot with new wood there. Thanks for cache

You'll need small hands due to work in this area.Could see it couldn't reach it.

Found on a bike ride up the river trail from Lower Hutt to Brown Owl. Like other finders the coords were about 15 metres out but the hint made it a fairly obvious find.

Coords were 15m out on my device. B made find. TFTC!

Reasonably quick find following hint rather than compass. TFTC!

Post

Did not find. Coordinate showed it was on private property

Aborted the previous attempt here some time ago as someone pulled up the driveway in a car and emerged just as I had come to the conclusion that I needed to widen my search.
I was unsure if she was a user of the premises or a cacher so erred on the side of caution and left, only to find later that she was indeed a cacher!
Today I had a commitment in Upper Hutt but needed a cache to qualify for the International Geocaching Day souvenir as I couldn't make it to the event because of that commitment.

Didn't take too long to find this time using the hint and cacher's instinct, knowing that there was no point in relying on the coordinates.
No fridge magnets sorry, might try and do something about that if I am passing some other time.
TFTC.

Found it

Tftc

Found with Glad-NZ. Cache is in good shape. TFTC

Found while out with NZ1. Cords pointed to neighbours but log comments and hint helped gettingus thinking. Cache is in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Thought I'd go for a short walk after settling in to our accommodation. With the cache quickly in hand, signed and returned safe and sound I wandered down the paths to river and back and the long way by the river back again. A nice walk thanks. TFTC

Today we arrived in Wellington and made a little walk from the campsite. It lasted some time to find the cache, but having read the hint it was rather easy.
TFTC

I was walking along this side of the Hutt River Trail so headed up to grab this one. GPS was pointing into the neighbour's property but the hint led me to the right location without issue. TFTC

A pretty quick find for us today after having spent ages looking a year or so ago when it had been washed away. So very glad to finally get this one

Good hunt, tricky to find, thanks!

GPS a little off but found after a decent search.

A quick find while completing the caches on the Akatarawa traverse. All in order. TFTC

Found whilst in the area doing a Earth Cache for International Earth Cache
Day.

All in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Nice spot. Quick find. TFTC

Found by dad

First find of the day on drive to Napier. Easy to find with the help of the hint. TFTC

Nice easy find, no magnets to swap

Found it. Hard one

Found it. Hard one

Found with eagle eyes Adam

Not found

GPS a bit off but hint helped

280 sneaky hide

#446 found after a quick search. GPS was off so had to extend the search area. Tftc.

Great placement. The day has turned out beautiful and our frozen feet are thawing out well. Great spot here in the sunshine. Tftc

Found cache but no magnet in side

My first FTF Thanks for the cache

GPS seemed to point into neighbouring property and I couldn't figure out the hint. Started to search wider when a car pulled up, wasn't sure if it was a cacher or hall user but wasn't taking any chances so I left, seems it may have been Rimutaka!

Coordinates changed from:
S 41° 05.791 E 175° 05.506

Coordinates changed to:
S 41° 05.869 E 175° 05.484

Distance from original: 484.9 feet or 147.8 meters.
New location

New container, new location.

Missing, buried under a small slip that has covered the steps - Will re-site a new cache nearby soon.

Attempted this one several months ago. Pretty sure a check is needed.

Not found some April 2015. This may need to be checked.

Did not find because a Labrador was barking at me so I had to abort.

Had a good 10 min look around with NZ1 and GBNZ until local dogs in bordering property started barking withdrew, so no luck today. I'll watch the log to see if others or CO can confirm its still there. Great spot for and evening walk though.

We looked all over but could not find it

Nice walk around.
Warm day out in the bushes.
TFTC. SLB. TNLN.

Found it relatively quickly. If I was a neighbour the dogs would drive me nuts.

Today three out of five found which I think is reasonable for a newbie (< 1 week).

Good find while filling in time waiting to pick up a couple gone swimming.
Dogs were on guard nearby and it was nice to be in the shade.
TFTF

Took a while but got it, nice spot

Took a little while to find this one! Coordinates seemed a bit off but it was a cloudy rainy day. The hint made sense though May have spotted it quicker if I'd come from the other direction

Found eventually! thanks for the cache!

Quick find today
with Jax479. TFTC

A nice wee track, the loop (including detour to Birchville Dam) is a favorite run route of mine. Had never noticed the ascending descending before tho, so much for cacher powers of observation! Took the easy approach from Hoggard Park today, with metal-art.

Approached from river side and spotted easily. Lovely and quiet at river. Very calming too. Tftc

Warm day for a walk along the river. TFTC

Great hiding spot. Sadly all the swaps have been taken

I finally got this one after a navigational error saw me descending the steps from the South end carpark to the riverbed. Then coming up from the unknown via those steps!!!! I always seem to take the scenic route!!
Outside of the cache is covered with mud but the contents are all safe and dry. TFTC

She'll be slippery heading in that unknown place.

Cache and log all ok. Thanks for another one.
