Dutch Apple Pie (East Auckland) Highland Park, North Island, New Zealand

Hi KiwiLeon

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. 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

Unfortunately, couldn’t find it

DNF

Has got quite a few DNF’s now. We recommend CO checking because it might have gone walkies.

DNF

Cache destroyed (metal tube unscrewed)

Found nothing but a few golf balls

Lots of likely hiding places but no joy

DNF, No Luck for Us

Must be missing something...will be back

Great place , and awesome walk

Managed to come through in a gap between rain showers, had to abandon the last time I came so happy to get it this time!

Nice quick find. Found both still next to each other. Didn't know which was which so signed both. one was very wet. Had time to get here at last

Within 200m of my favorite local cafe. Off to grab a coffee now

Sunny Sunday morning, lots of muggles along the walkway. Looked in a few places, finally found it. Actually, there are two containers nearly identical, one was visible (in its hiding place) and the other mostly covered by leaves but TD spotted it. Signed the one (it had a 2017 sign), then looked in the other and it too had several 2017 signs. Just put them both back side by side. TFTC

Took us a while to find as was our first geocache adventure and we weren't sure what we were looking for! Take a new piece of paper and a small treasure with you when you go

In the area tonight so stopped to make a find here. TFTC!!!

Ya hoo. So pleased to finally get this smilie face after having to abort two previous attempts due to high muggle activity and a misbehaving geodog.Great hide but who ate all the pie??

Wow, you could see where the water had rushed through here with the last storm. Jag50 and Aiden29 walked right past this but I found it in the 2nd place I looked. Oh and by the way I love a good homemade apple pie!

Headed out this way with Merlot58 and Jag50. Both Mrs Jag50 and I just had to find this cache, as both of us have Dutch relatives.

Mr Jag50 and I took the direct route to the cache with Merlot and Mrs Jag went around the long way. And even though the took longer it was merlot that finally found the cache, as she just so happened to locate the right bush.

Got to the park and realised that sport was on. Managed to find a park and then after having captured a few caches made our way over here with Aiden29 and Merlot 58. Came at this from two different directions some of us crossing the road twice to get here. Some of us then spent time looking and feeling for it while Merlot58 just walked up, reached in, and pulled it out. MrJag50 was heard to Mutter something about chance. Mutter Mutter.

Went looking in the dark and were literally standing right next to it but couldn't find it for a while

Nice walkway and great location - antznz

Lovely walk and nice easy find TFTC

So pleased to finally get this one on my third visit..
...I thought I had looked there!!
Thanks !
Lovely cycleway....

Took a bit of hunting around but got there in the end. A guy cycled past and called out. KEEP LOOKING, IT'S THERE and it was. Tftc

Yum I so like a good bit of appel taart. Cache is all good. Thanks

Sorry...no sign of cache base of shrub at gz .

A great wee spot for a cache. Tftc

Nice fun find with the kids. TFTC

What Does four mean after a shot

Lovely walk along the path here this afternoon. GPS was all over the place but we managed in the end. TFTC

Please come and check and replace the log. Your original one has fallen to bits - cannot sign it. Added a piece of paper for the meantime but it needs to be checked by CO. Thanks

Took a few mins to find the right place to stick our heads over but not too hard. Log is completely destroyed - so fragile it falls to pieces when you touch it. I added a piece of paper but owner does need to do some maintenance on this one. TFTC

Got lucky with this one, started looking in exactly the right place and found it immediately. Great cache.

Close to the tee! 3/3 today

Took a while to find this one, a few muggles out walking today. I was too short to help today TFTC

Found without too much trouble thanks. Could be tricky for shorter people. Log is dry but fragile.

Found it

Came for a walk along the walkway but muggles were approaching right as we got to GZ so we carried on to the other one nearby. As we came back GPS was not super reliable but thanks to the hint we started searching. We started immediately to the left of the cache and worked our way along in the other direction....got frustrated and came back to a couple of cm to the other side of where we started and found the cache. Gah!!

Quick find while heading for Uncle Boris. Unable to sign log as it has disintegrated into tiny pieces. Thanks.

Nice and easy

Tftc. Boy oh boy GPS was like rubber ball. So many shrubs.

Nice spot
Found this on my second attempt after trying last year and missing it

Found this on 26.12.15 with Auckland Reindeer, but after logging on my phone, it didn't save, so relogging. Great to discover this walkway. We enjoyed the walk and must have another go some day. Quite a few mugs out today so it took a little while to retrieve. TFTC

Enjoying a nice sunny day after Christmas walking off the excesses of the Christmas dinner, and hoping to tire out master chrisandmum so he will go to sleep easily tonight. Anyway, after we let some muggles pass us we were able to proceed to and search around GZ. Looked around the various places mentioned in the hint and found it. Master chrisandmum wanted to retrieve it so I had to lift him up, he's getting big, and he retrieved it. Log signed and a bit more of a gym work out lifting master chrisandmum so he could replace the cache before the next muggles came along.

Came here the other night and was unable to locate it. Found it immediately today and good sunlight

Good hide, found easily. TFTC

It was a nice easy find but log paper was ripped.

Nice quick cache today. Very windy in Auckland
TFTC

A nice quick find. TFTC.

Had the option of what to sign here...

Nice little walkway. Soon had the cache in hand. The paper damp but still signable - just! Only had wait out 1 muggle, thought there would be more on such a nice day.

After a little foraging we soon had the cache in hand. Log really does need replacing as it is very wet but we were still able to sign. Found it just as it started to rain. Strangely despite all the recent online logs the log book only seemed to have 2012/13 logs on it which puzzled us! Anyway another calendar day ticked off. TFTC

Finally managed to get this one ticked off during a lunch time stroll! Searched a few bushes before making the find. No Muggles using the path today. Thanks for the cache!

Found quickly thanks to hint. Log saturated.tftc

With ErikSi:)

And Cianne's first one

Quick find after a pleasant walk TFTC

Fouuur. Found tftc

Found today with keylev, as we decided to go pick up a few caches after the Denny's Queens breakfast event. Short walk from the car and a quick search, keylev got to it before I did! SL, thanks

After the queens breakfast a few of us headed over to Lloyd Elsmore to have a look for some caches. After this I went on a further tiki tour with Newlyn Family.

Took the short walk from the main road down the path for a quick find here which was lucky as there were a few people passing so we had to be quick in between them.

Thanks for the cache.

Found while out for a bit of a walk with Mrs McMike2012 ... don't understand the significance of the apple pie ... but then it doesn't really matter ... avoided lots of 'muggles' but in the end, it was an easy find & quickly replaced ... TN:LN:SL ... TFTC ... #873 for us.

Good clues, quick find. TFTC

Could hear but not see the golfers on the nearby course and they certainly didnt see me! Few muggles along here despite the good weather

Nice find

A bit soggy so didn't sign

Easy find

That was tricky tftc

Quick find on way past
TFTC

Needed the hint for this one >.<

Quick and easy find to start the day.

Nice quick one thanks

Found cache pretty quickly but log was quite wet and hard to sign, I tried to dry it off as best I could and put it in a zip lock bag, TFTC

Great Cache, well Hidden.

Found it second time. Paper a bit wet, We forgot a pen any.

Cache found quite easily however forgot a pen. Took a photo with cache and will send to cache owner.

Not found

Oh no we couldn't find it. But did find lots of little lizards in the retaining wall, kids excited!

GPS took me straight to it. No one in sight so made a quick grab. TFTC

I had to do my looking in between passing bikers and try to look innocent in the mean time. We'll look for this kind of pie at the next Pi day. XNSL. TFTC.

Easy find

Quick easy find. Great for the kids

Easy find

Easy find took seconds

TFTC

Had a nice walk today looking for the geocaches round Golflands, but there was no pie

Container replaced.
Please email the CO if you'd like a copy of the recipe

Good to see this one back as it has been on my list for a while. An easy find on a quiet wet Sunday afternoon.

A quick find - you just need to pick the right time. It's a popular walkway. Thanks for replacing this cache.

Had a quick look at the obvious places in the dark while leaving having found a new cache nearby, but no luck

could not find... could the owner please check up on this??

Hm need the owner 2 verify this one please?

Had a good hunt, found a golf ball and saw a live weta - how about that! But no surprise today.

No luck today. A while since it was last found so could owner confirm it is still there?..Thanks

Searched for quite a while but gps kept jumping a bit which made it hard to pinpoint which part of the wall! Will have to come back another day

TFTC. Toy soldier in nothing out

#316 Lovely spot- I'll have to come back another day with Aga and do the walkway properly. TFTC! Cache was quite damp- could do with some TLC.

No surprise inside!
