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.

Just adding to the long list of DNF's on this cache. shame as such a nice place that CO doesn't check.

Also had a look, but no joy. CO could we check please? I notice it's been some time since it was last found, surprised a maintenance flag hasn't already been dropped

sadly no luck finding it and from the previous logs of did not find it may have gone walkabout

Did not find. Spent a good 20 minutes looking around. Second non find of the day.

looked for a good 20 minutes and was unable to find this one

Passing by on way from Wellington to Auckland (with variations).
But no luck with this one, but may have missed some of the details in the description.

This cache was found as a part of 'SJCGeocamp', a group of year 10 students (and teachers) on a Geocaching camp. I had planned for us to do the Solar system cache series but the boys were tired and sore after me dragging the around a couple of other reserves and Rangitoto island so I had mercy on them and we decided to grab this park and grab and three other caches near the cemetery instead.

awesome Cache!!! we found it after some searching, was a bit challenging. Real fun thanks!

Another grand adventure with Gap (of Fap and Gap). We hope to rack up as many caches as we can, and put them toward our current GIO License Challenge. Today, we head to North-West Waikato to tackle some of the most isolated, far-flung caches I've ever seen. A big drive that will take us from Port Waikato to Raglan Harbour, and everywhere in between... And the weather is going to make this ride interesting.

An impressive river crossing that needs a good clean down and paint job to revitalise it. I was surprised to see how shallow the water was. TFTC.

First time to this area and couldn't resist stopping for this cache. Nicely tucked away
TFTC

Quick pick TFTC

Stopped by to collect this one since we were in the area and I was the only one that had yet to collect this one. Thanks guys!

Wild and windy kind of day. Ducked in to find this on the way home from rugby. Followed the geo-track! Tftc.

Yay found it

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Decided to take a drive into the country south of Port Waikato and north of Raglan. Picked this one up on the way. It only seemed appropriate as the gateway to points south of the mighty river.

Indiana, hu? I guess you could also call me Pennsylvania Paul, but no arc finding for me--just some caches. Cache is in good condition. Cheers for the cache.

Finally! I've attempted this probably a dozen times in the last four years but every time there were people fishing at GZ...until this evening! great close- up view of the river! TFTC!

enjoyed looking for this, thanks

Nice stop on our way to Port Waikato and after a failure on the other cache near this place...

Seemed to be quite difficult task with all the possibilities for hide, but than I obey to the hint.

#1672, nice spot. TFTC

Did not want to go climbing around broken beer bottles. Looks like the site is now used as a drinking den.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Just like Hamilton's Bumpy Bridge, but longer!

Thanks for the cache.

After taking the wrong track and searching in the wrong place for about 5 minutes we finally found it once we were on the right track easy find TFTC also the first find for my little brother and his girlfriend good way to welcome them to the TKUCREW

No broken glass but I did have to clamber over a dead chook. Decided not to practice CITO at this time. Spotted the cache in a likely location. TFTC

Not the most salubrious of locations? but a lovely walk along the river on a sunny Sunday.

Wow. it was sure cold here today.

Today, Vamber, KiwifruitsNZ and alpenmilch80 decided to tackle some of the caches out this way. We enjoyed a day of lovely (and muddy) walking, chatting and caching of course!

This was a quick find under the bridge. TFTC!

After finishing the Solar System trail, Vamber, alpenmilch80 and KiwifruitsNZ decided to tackle a few more caches in the area, with one aim being to see KFNZ secure their 1600th cache!

This one proved to be a quick easy find.

During the event at the Auckland's Botanical Gardens Team Vamber invited me to come along to tackle together with some caches in this area. I was a little bit scared about the weather forecast but it turned out to be a rain free sunny day . Due to the rain yesterday we had some muddy patches to cross which we all mastered slip-free and were rewarded later the day with some great ice cream....

Cache provided us a needed bathroom break as well as a Smiley. TFTC

Easy find but had to take evasive action so some local losers doing burn-outs wouldn't see me.

Nice quick find as the fog was lifting. TFTC!!!

Quick find in a lovely spot. Tftc

A good spot for a cache, easy find and all in order, TFTC.

A nice quick find at a beaut bridge. Found during a flying visit Up North. Visiting family and caches in marginal weather Thanks for the hide.

A tricky spot. Must get some goodies to swap!

Tried to find this over a year ago and failed miserably! We renewed our geocaching enthusiasm today, yeah, tftc

Nice and easy find

Off for a Easter Monday walk and a geocaching fix. Thanks for bringing me out.

thought it would nice and dry under the bridge. wrong. heaps of big red fish not far out in the river. tftc

Raining

I was looking to low at first. Then I read the description again. Ah, it's the rain not the river that could sweep it in. TFTC

10th cache of the day. river looked inviting on this hot sunny day TFTC

TFTC

TFTC

A nice day to stroll around - very quiet though I wonder where everyone is - a party we didn't know about. t4tc

Easy find. Managed the grab without the attention of the nearby muggles. Lots of people on the water this arvo, I don't blame then it's very hot today.

A trio of cachers out & about on a lovely sunny morning, another nice quick grab, tftc

was out wif a few other cachers 2 collect lots around th area. hd jst finished th sola systm cach and stop to grab lqd power.

It ws a quick grab and in g8 condition.

TFTC

Had to be a bit dodgy as several surveying guys were working in the immediate area.Lucky the cache was not too difficult so wasn't there too long. Thankyou.

Great spot for a cache. My first time across this bridge I think. Found this one after finding another cache at the other end of the reserve. TFTC, Biggles.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We were down this way completing the nearby Solar System Trail and headed back to Auckland picking up a few more caches along the way.

A quick find and a nice spot here. Thanks for the cache!

Out with Miss Sara - rain just starting - checked one place and then extended the search a little bit and WOOHOO - there it was nestled - TFTC

Found it with Aoi, Tai and Lance ... on the way back from Port Waikato ... very quick find ... TFTC

Had gone past here before, a long time ago, and meant to find the cache here but it was missing at the time (it was a previous cache at/near this spot), so it was good to stop in this interesting spot today to pick up a find here. The river is *very* high at the moment, almost up to the cache! TFTC!!!

It was another trip for me down South of the Big Smoke to finish off what I started last week.

Luckily I was able to squat down to retrieve the cache.

Cheers for the cache.

TFTC

Had a quick look around GZ and finally spotted it TFTC

Nice quick find with Lellums, Menergh. TFTC

found with cheetora and Menergh TFTC

Found with Cheetora and Lellums. TFTC

In the area today cleaning up a few unfound caches since our last visit. Miss made the find as i was still trying to work out where the GPS was pointing to. Grabbed a GC for moving along. TFTC!

Nice park. Been meaning to stop in here for ages. TFTC

First find of cache in NZ. Hope there are more to come.

interesting place

Great place. TFTC.

COOL SPOT....TFTC

Nice place for a cache. Had just competed at a Hillclimb at Murray Rd so a nice place to stop for a scenic on the way to the prize-giving. The cache was sitting loose, so I wedged it in to make sure it stays.

Had to go away, then come back later as when I arrived someone was having a somke of funny smelling stuff. Once all clear and the fog had disapeared a nice quick find, TFTC

Not a hard find the clue was very apt as I went looking around. Lots of necks of bottles here. TFTC

Lost coverage a few times but found it in the end

haha this was an interesting one spent 10 minutes looking for this when my friend that came only said look under there i did and found it great find and loads of fun thanxs

Out and about this afternoon with the FF and his Poppa for a little geocaching. We ended up near here and though we didn't actually have the coordinates I was pretty sure we could find it based on my memory of the cache page. Theory confirmed as the cache was soon produced from the first place checked. As a child we used to visit this spot so are very familiar with the bridge. Cheers for the cache!

It was a such a fantastic day for a picnic so we set off to somewhere new to see what we could find. On the way home we stopped by to pick up this little hide. Daz first thought it might be on the bridge but quickly discovered that this was not the case. Down below a short hunt made for a quick find. However Ky moved even quicker as a spider made its presence known and gave her a fright while she was replacing the log which we signed in the car. TFTC.

While looking around I had the Police doing a slow drive by.... I think they thought I may have been doing business under the bridge....

After that it was a quick find thanks

Easy fine

Nice hide thanks

Good find

Called in to the Reserve while passing through the area, and made a quick find at LQD Power. The river here looks calm rather than powerful, but that is probably very deceptive. Thanks.

# 3492

great spot

TFTC

Nice spot, if river was another 300mm higher I couldn't have got it!

Easily found on the way home from dog walking at Port Waikato. Gone over the bridge many times but this was the first time I ever stopped at the reserve. Nice place to stop for a cuppa. TFTC

We had been to this reserve a few times before so knew how to access the cache area.
+ a marble, - nothing.

out and about looking for a bit of land out of the burbs and found a neat little cache just down the road,TFTC

Nice spot, always wanted to go there:) This was our 2nd ever geocaching, we're into it now!

3.45pm - Fairly easy find but river was a bit smelly. SL>TFTC

Easy find... nice place to stop off....TFTC

Easy find T4TC

A NICE EASY FIND WHILE WORKING IN THE AREA .TKS Indiana Jill.got a geocoin to move on

A new cache is in place & ready to go. New swaps, new log book, a tiny Geocoin . . . it's all good!
Check out new caches near Port Waikato too, more reasons to come out this way!
Notice new hint to those who try this one again!!

A well-placed cache near an iconic landmark. Thanks for placing this cache in a great little spot on the Waikato!

What a great spot. Made me want to bring the kayak next time!! Awesome place to stop and relax with a cuppa! Thanks for placing here! TFTC

Planning a maintenance trip round this area over Easter Weekend.

I'll get out there to check it soon, but give it a miss for now.
Apologies.

It had a good run, but might need replacing.
