As this cache has been out of action for too long, 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.

I noticed that this cache has been in need of owner attention for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Add us to the dnf list. I see that the owner is still active but doesn't seem interested in replacing or disabling this cahe.

No luck

Dnf dug around under the guardian too but no luck

A few dnf's - owner please check

Searched but no joy

Look around for ever read all the clues in the log not were it was said to be.
Past logs have noted that cache was out in the open and easy to spot from the track so it may have been muggled.

Found it. Was fun with the kiddies too!!!!

I spotted the 2 rocks mentioned in an earlier log but no cache there. Oh no muggled I thought. I had a look around and there was the cache just lying in the open a few metres away. Luckily it doesn't seem to have suffered any damage so I signed the log and put it back where it looks like it came from but it is still quite exposed. TFTC, Biggles.

Hi Frazar

Hope you don't mind but I put a couple of rocks either side of the cache to disguise it a bit.
It is much less visible from the park and the track.

TFTC Chibby.

Interesting grass to walk on when returning up the hill. Could see cache surrounds as we approached. Nice clean find. TFTC

Amazing springy grass on the way to the cache. Container clearly visible from some distance, but appears unmuggled. Thanks

Finidhed our challenge fir the day!! Yay!!!

Easy

Too easy to see from the path. A couple of rocks placed either side would be a good addition. But......
TFTC!

Easy find. Needs to be hidden more!

Easy find

Meu primeiro achado, com Ruby, Tiago, e Jo.

I decided to tune the gears on my bike and go for a Geocaching cycle mission to train for the HRT event. 17.5km, 4 geocache finds.

Initially, I went below GZ and it turns out I didn't need a hint. The cache is pretty much exposed from the bottom and sides and is a miracle that it hasn't been plundered by muggles yet! Anyway, I attempted to hide this better than I found it. I wonder if that just makes it look more obvious that something is hidden there...? TFTC

895, Out for a nice long bike ride with my little boy. This was a very easy find as I could see it from the path. Have added camo so not so easy to see, and co-ords look bang on. TFTC.

Easy find nice cache, owner may need to check location, as not near path now

This was fun. The staplers rusty btw and I think i saw a dead spider in it.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

A nice easy find

Easy find wasn't very camo so I covered it up a bit but still easy to find if your looking!! Hayley and Cameron

Description not super accurate. But my app always points in the right direction. Thanks

Nice park. Tftc.

5607. In Hamilton for a few days so decided to pick up a couple of caches while here. This was a quick and easy find. The plastic bag was ripped and flapping in the breeze so we saw the container from some distance away. Removed the bag and rehid the container well. Some new waterproofing could be necessary soon. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris and NUFC.

39. Went geocaching today with Sallies. This was a quick and easy find since the plastic bag was ripped and flapping freely in the breeze. Rodney fixed it up. Thanks for the cache. Dorothy.

Decided to find a few caches while taking a stroll along the river. TFTC

Now D-fences are down we found this one quick and easy.

The footpath is blocked off, we will be back

Another one with mdo_nz. Continuing our river bike ride

Found with raeofsunshineNZ while on our river bike ride. Easier access from above the path.

Beautiful day on the river

A nice after work walk with Davycrockpot to grab a few caches - what a lovely area of Hamilton I haven't visited before - thanks geocaching for bringing me here. TFTC

Found on a Monday evening with Geco72. Some nice real estate around here, pleased I'm not paying the rates! TFTC.

Tftc

Nice quick find with the No Boring Bits cycling club...their first Geo Caching outing...maybe a few converts after today

Gosh, we've got home and I'm logging our finds and see the TB we dropped off this morning has already been picked up. That's great as it is in a race to get back home (to Wales?) from the rugby World Cup - I have a feeling Rhian may not win. We left Rhian's new friend, a Fisher Price sheep, and I took the baby with a bottle.

Awesome day beside the river. Out ... Rhian TB. In ... toy cow TFTC.

Thanks for the cache Quiri

In Hamilton for birthday celebs and thought we'd better do at least a couple of caches before we left so this one was close to a rellies place. Quick find.

Found after attending the numbers event, 8,9,10,11,12 in Hamilton. Great to catch up with so many cachers. Lovely walk. TFTC

Beautiful park. Lovely place for a cache.

Great day for a cache could visibly see from path recovered with some leaf etc

ALL GOOD FOUND WITH MY SON OUT FOR A WALK

FOUND WITH DAD

Quick grab with the kids on our way back from soccer. Cache all good, picked up the TB, TFTC

Another great walking area - nice quick find - surprised to see size of cache - all goo TFTC

Muggles walking their dogs an inconveniently stopping to chat near the cache made this one much trickier than it should have been.

Thanks

Could see it from path below. Have covered it better than we found it.

Found it easy TFTC

Pretty much in the open but tftc

Found during a day's caching in the region. TFTC

4.20pm. All we have time for today. Another quick find after a short walk.
Thank you. David.

Great find on a sunny afternoon. Took the travel bug and plan on leaving it in our first geocache hide, where it's likely to be collected by a tourist and might make it to another continent! Left an ant. Liv & Lisa

dropped off high flying TB

Found ok right about prickles

Nice early morning find while visiting Hamilton with PageNZ. TFTC

early morning find before Hamilton was awake. t4tc

lots of muggles about we had to hang a round for ages waiting for the area to be quiet

Thought it was rubbish at first, found it in the end!

A very wet morning - no muggles about though! TFTC

Nice easy find, very prickly.

Not so easy to find in the dark.

Nice easy find. TNLN, TFTC

A nice easy find, and nice stroll after dinner.

Out with Kai_Gotti today visiting some of Hamilton's caches in the Te Rapa area.

Cheers for the cache.

Gardian's attacked while collecting cache, found cache and signed in the cover of darkness. TFTC

I thought it had been muggled because I found a log sheet and someones found card but then found it intact. TFTC

Quick find, had to dodge a couple of muggles, clue made it a quick grab. TFTC!

Quick find on a drive and walk around this part of Hamilton. Did almost up to here last night on the bike. Sure is nice by the river.
