Ohope Sand Spit - 'Four' (Bay of Plenty) Ohiwa, North Island, New Zealand
By Hppo on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TAY0

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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.

This cash also seems long gone. It would be nice not to annoy visitors with DNF's. A new one could be put in this area. Unless of course hppo is able to fix.

third crack at this and still no luck.

Didn't have much luck in the Ohope Spit today! Hunted, hunted, dodged Muggles, hunted some more - found nothing.

Definitely not there.

not found

Bit of maintenance please.

Searched every possible fork.
Pretty sure it wasn't there.
Could Mr Hppo please confirm that it is still there.??

Had a real good hunt but no sign of it.

2 adults and 2 kids and still we couldn't find it:(

Well we checked out a lot of forks .... dont think its there.

We found this after a round of golf on a gorgeous day ... lots of muggles around, but managed to quickly grab it! TNLN. TFTC!

Nice place for a stop and a walk. Golf hole very busy next door. TFTC

Nice and easy. Would have needed a boat to go any further south!! T4TC

SpencerStreetStation, a muggle friend of mine, found this and had no idea what it was so left a little message for his dad

Lovely spot thanks

Great one very easy to find kids loved it. Done swaps.

A quick find, without to many muggles around early in the morning.
Left a pet rock a parrot. TFTC

Found it quite quickly. No golfing or fishing muggles around so we went undetected.

Found - tricky! Took a second visit when there where no muggles around fishing and managed to spy it pretty quickly!
TFTC

Made the mistake of stopping early and walking but who cared as the weather was fab. took red handed geo coin and left kiwi carabine TFTC

Nice area, soon located the cache. SL Left GC TFTC

Nice cache

Busy at the carpark but managed to get in there and find it undetected.

Lovely out here - hope swiss dragonfly enjoys the beautiful place - but not for too long

Parked and ate a late lunch before looking for the cache. Found it exactly where we expected from the hint. Lovely spot, but a bit of a chilly wind today. Thanks.

Nice easy find TFTC.

Found this one on my trip through the north island. Visited some great places and saw heaps of cool stuff. Thanks for showing me around and thanks for the cache.

Nirusu.

Quick find. Muggle-free once the load in the buggie drove off.

A quick and easy find. NINO TFTC

GPS had us at the wrong fork but figured it out. TFTC

Did at night, as recommended, beautiful viewing the stars. easy find.

Easy find. Nice view. Tb's missing there should have been 2.

What a lovely peaceful spot, lots of fishermen around today, took B.O.S.N.'s 1000 Finds Geocoin Proxy. No sign of the other coins/TBs. TFTC.

Did this at night and found it quickly and easily before all the muggles returned.. One kid nearly ended up with a fishing hook in his foot (so be careful here barefoot)...
Stood in front of the car for 35 minutes watching the stars from here.. Amazing - Best spot we have found so far to view the sky with the naked eye... Thanks for the cache..

Had to be a bit stealthy here. I pretended to be really interested in the bird signage while hubby sneakily filled log in.

another good one for the kids. took ball bearing game, left barbie comb. T4TC

this was our 1st paperless cache - in fact, we did it completely blind - hadn't planned on being this far along the spit so had the co-ords in our GPSr from a pocket query & no other info. We were chuffed! In - Lady Bug; out - Fallen Heroes GC. TFTC

Neat place to contemplate the water late at night. Took 2 x GC in 1 x GC. TFTC.

It was raining cats and dogs so we couldn't have a good look around. Placed a few Travelcoins and bugs. TFTC.

Nice early walk on last day of holidays. No TB's. Thanks 1-4-1 Family

This was probably my first, "Oh, look, there's the cache!" cache. Usually it takes more time that I will admit to find them. It was a beautiful location, too, and fun to sit on the grass with my toes in the water while we filled out the log. TFTC!

Nice easy find. Another scorching afternoon and tempted to take a tip in the harbour! TFTC.

A nice quick find, and whilst there were a few vehicles nearby, no worries finding the cache. Cheers Gav [4817]

Busy place and good fishing too. TFTC

Last cache for the day. Nice spot. T4TC

Quick find between golfers and muggles T4TC.

A quick find. Heaps of fun for the kids eating the blackberries nearby, watching the butterflies, playing in the water - with floating pumice, and the cache of course!

Nice easy find - plenty of muggles, but they couldn't see us. No golfers about. Lovely day.
Took Jeep TB, TFTC

I love this part of Ohope. TFTC! +Jeep TB.

Easy find...nice spot obviously good fishing....thanks

Nice drive by. Grabbed the Tee TB others not there. Dropped in Pickle coin. TFTC Felix!

NIce spot. TFTC -TB

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 575. Thanks.

Quickly found it at a really nice spot. TFTC MacBanger

Geocoin drop, a very apropriate coin given the location.

Nice spot and an easy find. Thanks

A quick find while trying to hide from the golfers and campers. A nice spot - TFTC

Nice spot - I remember coming here when having a school camp at Ohope many moons ago!

Quick find.. Swapped Goodies and took TB. TFTC.
Cheers...

While we're sure this is a pleasant spot in fine weather, it certainly wasn't today. Mrs W.E.K.A. sent Mr W.E.K.A. out in the pouring rain to find it, fortunately quite quickly. We then watched a man and three young children with a bright yellow gadget in their hands set out towards the cache. But to our surprise they headed off into the distance. Was it a GPS or wasn't it? TFTC

Easy find while watching the golfers. I think I stuffed up the logging and logged the GC into GC1KEPC by mistake so this cache does have the geocoin I dropped off there. - coin TFTC

A lovely spot to visit. Glad the rain stopped in time for a bit of a wander. Retrieved the Aussie Geocoin to bring back to Wellington area.

Found it today, while giving a friend an intro to geocaching.

Great day to be here. +G/coin #726

Introduced some friends to geocaching. They thought it was great (even more than me)!

Another find on a blustery day. Thanks, hppo. I left the Shropshire Way Geocoin which I had found in the Hutt Valley and took the Shell Geocoin which I plan to relocate to the Hutt Valley or Wellington.

dropped in geocoin while dropping Mellee off to find a night time cache.

FOOOUURR!! Found the cache nice and quickly, and then emptied the cache contents onto the ground - whoops! I hope I found everything while scrambling in the dark. Really shouldve packed a torch. TFTC

My last cache for today as I have to travel as far a s Gisborne and it is already pretty late.
Left nice shell travel slug.

Another quick find in a lovely place. Its nice down this end of the beach. Nice camo cache too.
Didn't notice the Travel Snail coin. TFTC.

Found it 6/7/09 but didnt really know what to do so had to come back tonight 7/7/09 after studying up on this geocaching... TFTH!

By the time I had got myself organised to try this one, Geckoh had been and gone, so left it for a week. Nice afternoon out, not many people around, just a couple of hardy fishermen. TNLN TFTC

FTF coin drop and grab.

Dropped off TB

We often spend time at our friend's holiday home in Ohope, so there'll be no problems with maintenance.
