No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current 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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

this cache has not been found for over a year
we spent a lot of time searching this rock.
nothing was found. ready logs i think the CO has moved from area and nobody is looking after these. think it is time to remove this cache..

Please check...

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... Our target today was to find caches with difficulty ratings of 2.5 and greater. Gap spied a whole lot in the Gisborne region... Road trip. It rained on and off throughout the day, making conditions slippery underfoot and slow-going at times. Weather coupled with quite a few DNFs made this a bit of a disappointing mission. Nevertheless, we soldiered on, as we do...

I always wondered where Waihirere was... Their culture group has long ranked among the best in the country in the Maori world... The caches in this area were sure targets for us, including one to fill a spot in my D/T Matrix.

We are almost certain that this is no longer... We searched fairly thoroughly for several minutes, poking and prodding all manner of cracks and holes for nothing. It could very well have fallen deep into a pocket within the rock, but either way, this hasn't been found in a while now.

Searched for so long for this one....there and back....no luck though

Found, bit damp

Found it The clue helped big time Went to the rock that the photo showed and found the cache without a gps.

Tftc. The cache was on the floor put back in crack

First one in ages and for the year

A quick visit to Gizzie, and enjoyed discovering the various locations that a bit of geocaching took me to. Brilliant weather. A quick find on a walk up to the falls.

A fairly quick find of this appropriately named cache. TFTC

We visited family in Ormond, we walked the track to the falls.

Our 4year Old daughter found the Cache. She was very happy about the Toys. Thanks.

Cache wasnt where it should have been. was in plain sight. put it back where it should be. TFTC

Not where the GPS was reporting, but I liked the feature so much I decided to check it out, all before I realised the cache name.

TFTC

A nice quick straightforward find. TFTC.

Found the back door and knocked. Nobody was home. Went round to the front and knocked but nobody was home. Went to the side door on the porch overlooking the garden and found somebody home. TFTC

Easy find with out seeing the photo while on a 5 day holiday from home in Whangamata

Once we found the rock - an easy find.

Nice hide. TFTC

easyest one yet awesome

picture helped find

Easy find. Big rock and Small rock are your clues.

Great find on the way to the gorgeous waterfall at the end of the walkway. Thanks so much for the find, I haven't been out here since I was a kid.

A bit wet but OK. Thanks

Took us a bit of scrambling because the GZ was so far from the cache and we hadn't looked up the helpful information on the cache site - sorry taybee after all your hard work. Found with new cachers Wakaroa. TNLN TFTC

Opposite side of track to where we thought it would be. TNLN TFTC

first find for the day, almost left ipod behind

Nice find

easy cache to find on a beautiful walk to the Waihirere falls

Nice easy find on a lovely track. TFTC!

easy

Found it with my friend David

An enjoyable evening walk through native bush to a nice waterfall. TFTC

Enjoyed the walk. TFTC

A geocoin visit

A wet track after some rain made for slippery conditions in places but no worries for the kids who shot up the track and soon returned (after getting bored waiting for us to catch up) with the cache. Didn't really need the GPS as The Rock is very easy to find. Pirate Pistol and Pirate Bell in/Foghorn Leghorn Rooster out. TFTC. SiLiRy

A good cache up this lovely walkway. TFTC #2207

Like the previous finder I initially headed up the wrong track before realising I should be following the stream. With 4 caches up this very pretty little valley there is good incentive to make the effort and it is well worth while.
Many thanks

On a cache raid in the Gisborne area. This a nice walk in this nice piece of bush. At first I started up the wrong track but soon realised my mistake when it turned into a Terrain 5 Star.

Cheers for the cache.

bought the "home away from home' 7WED51 to Gisborne for 5 nights.. fantastic weather and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. really enjoyed this walk to the waterfall... nice place for a cache (or 4)... unfortunately we only managed to find 2, this being one of them... took NZkeko with puss'n'boots TB & Mount Everest GC to move on soon...

Found it with Mr Chillipips in lovely weather for a walk. Round the corner and there it was.. Left Mt Everest coin (this cache looks up at a small peak near a 'large' rock from the view I had when logging it ) and Mr Chillipips left Pukeko coin too. TFTC
Cheers

Found it with Shellnz. Enjoyed the view from a bit up off the track. Left Pukeko coin attached to Puss in Boots. TFTC

Call in to check after putting in two more on the track

5036 GPS not required, knew the location of this prominent rock, having walked the Waterfall Track many times. TFTC.

Nice area, great rock! Enjoyed the walk in and soon located the cache. SL Thanks for the cache.

TFTC. Had a good walk to waterfall.

Awesome little stash. TFTF

A nice walk and a quick find using the photo.
Thanks.

Did an afternoons cache hunt with a few other cachers and muggles. Great area to go hunting, tried a few of the doors but got there in the end TFTC. Signed along with the other cachers, but forgot to log. Chasing up other caches in the area and realised I hadn't done the 'paper work'.

3rd to find. interesting hiding spot, well hidden TFTC

Had high hopes of another Gisborne FTF at this cache, as it was published six days ago and remained unlogged this morning. With our mobile connection we could download only the top few cms of the photo, so were unsure how well we would recognise The Rock when we came across it. As it turns out the co-ords were spot on, and the Rock was instantly recognisable. Nice easy find, but pipped to the FTF by 2 hours . Thanks Taybee - nice to meet you earlier today.

# 1773

With a big nudge from owner I went and did the FTF , thanks
Was accompanied by several Fantail birds, very nice and great track.
Tried to do the Waterfall one but way too many muggles so had to give up
