As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
I presume that this will not be replaced. It would seem that the CO has not been active on GC.com for quite some time?
Log was dripping wet and 95% unreadable so I took it away so it wouldn't contaminate the new sheet of paper I put in. I still have it if the owner wants photos or something. Nice views 
Quick find although couldnt sign as logbook soaked.Took photos as proof if required
Ingeneous hide spot, Great views. Used tweezers to remove log, very very wet. Manage to Sign temporary log,just. Saw 3 groups of muggles, really enjoyed the find. TFTC
Find #162 for the BAMMJams - smartphone was running dangerously low on power, so we had it switched off as we walked along the path - Master 4 ran ahead, and then came running back to us with cache in hand. We hadn't even told him where to look, but he's worked out the sorts of places to look for caches, apparently!
Log is complete mush - I've seen papier mache with more structural integrity that this log at the moment! Signed the temp log, but even that it feeling quite damp as well, and it's only a few days old - suggest the container's not coping with rain very well.
TFTC - our 6th and final find of the morning - two very tired mini-BammJams that are now home having a rest, ready for more 'caching tomorrow!

Another close-to-home grab to keep the August streak going! Having read the past few logs I had taken along a spare log sheet in case it was needed, but managed to get the original out in one piece 
On checking out the views though, and seeing the Southerly front coming in 
I added the new log paper into the cache to make it easier for the next person - until the original is replaced/shredded

Log is very wet, I was second to find today and I could hardly read the previous name. Couldn't remove with tweezers as the paper just started to break up.
Nice easy find just on dusk. makes for my 4th day in the August challenge. Thanks for the cache
Cache # 1,163 - and day 51 of my 100 day quest. Easy find. Couldn't appreciate the view too much because the sun was shining right in my eyes when at the GZ. Cache is damp - will put a maintenance note in on it. TFTC!
It was a little damp and with the wind blowing we were tempted to let it dry out a bit, but then the rain threatened and other caches were calling...
How many pathways can you fit into one tiny little reserve? Fortunately a quick find once at the right location (It was persisting down & I was getting soaked!) Thanks whoever left the extraction tool, this meant I could get the log out, signed and returned without things getting too damp. TFTC - 3 in a day and now only 44 to go for the month!
Girl Grimey (aged 4) found this one on our afternoon Geocaching adventure. Green Grimey signed the log on her behalf. TFTC!
Finally got round to replacing the cache, Very busy times recently!!! sorry it took so long.
Presumably this is still unavailable as it certainly didn't appear to be there this afternoon.
Just going to replace the log so its not all wet. will be put back up within a couple of weeks:)
When I went up that path I read the hint and I got confused. it on location it was a fast and easy find. The logbook is wet, no wonder. TFTC
No luck today. Pretty sure we had right place but no sign of it. Is it still available?
A quick easy find at a location with a great view of ever expanding Wellington suburbia. TFTC
"Don't forget to take a writing utensil"...Where's the pen... But I thought you had it!... You'll have to go back, and we'll wait here. Oh well, good exercise, and a brilliantly fine Queen's Birthday. TFTC
Its in front, no, its behind, no, its in front, no, its behind, no, its in front, I HATE SWITCHBACKS!!! TFTC
Out and about in the area this evening ,nice easy find walked straight to it signed log TFTC
We spotted the cache as we walked up from Derry Hill, so hopefully have hidden it a bit better.
Enjoyed the views while doing the paperwork.

#3471. Easily spotted on approach (tucked out of way a bit better after logging). Views were indeed good. TFTC.
Just started Geocaching... who knew there would be so many so close to home!!! No need for GPS!!! Cheers.
Nice hide. Great views over the distant hills and all the new houses springing up around here. TFTC
It has taken us several attempts at this one, but finally success! I don't know how we missed it the other times! tftc 
Our first time at geocaching. Yay. Our children were right into it - as were we. We were on a spy mission! Dad found the little cache. Thanks for the hints and tips of take tweezers and 'magnetic'. Very helpful. I'm sure this will be the start of many many 'finds' in the future. [8)]
Great views of the misty rain! TFTC
Cheers
Pinetree and sunrise, with bubble and B-rad

I think we chose the steepest access way to get to the cache, but what a view!

Nice wee spot for fish and chips for dinner. Glad to come along with Kitcat-nz. Saw a digger too
Nice easy find for a spot of impromptu caching with the cache-family and Kell_why
Found the more level route to the cache. Great day for views. Cache easily found, as was visible from above.
Signed and replaced more appropriately. Thanks
