I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

cache owner has not been active since 8th nov 2016
cache last found 9 th nov 2016 in broken state.
last logger said nothing to be found
think it should go

Was in the area today exploring. The cache location has been cleaned down and repainted. It looks beautiful, but there's no cache anywhere nearby now.

no muggles today, easily found,tftc

Water damage and cap missing, will be repaired soon

Introducing some friends to geocaching - found cache on ground and contents scattered - put it back in place but couldn't find the cap that seals it. Needs attention Sam.

First find of the day and as soon as I get out the car, she starts to drizzle, was determined this was not going to ruin my day, found pretty quickly, as mentioned before needs a bit of maintenance, my nephew got married here a few years ago, beautiful little church

Cool

Easy find, Logbook extremely wet. TFTC

Found with lid up, everything water damaged

Nice camo! Could do with a new ziplock bag or something, everything just fell out. But good cache! Tftc

Found today with Lady Esmarelda and Crayrenee. It was really high.

Nice hide TFTC

This was neat. Took the family today

Out on a cahing trip with all the family many thanks
Another nice little church didn't see any quotes

Brilliant camp

Easy find

Found on our April Holidays Road Trip. Day one, Wellington to Onaero. Day two Onaero to Kawhia via coast road, sort of.
Found by Redants while I was admiring the structure. TFTC.

Banian and I found this cache on our autumn northern roadtrip- where we did a circuit of the north island from Wellington right up to Raglan, then across to Napier through Taupo, before heading home, finding masses of caches and discovering a plethora of unique and interesting locations.

"I found this quickly using the hint, TFTC"

Easy find thanks

Saw some other caches put this one back as we wandered over so knew exactly where to look. TFTC

Second cache on a trip to pio pio. Neat place. Took a bit to get log out and back in. Picked up tb. TFTC

Found today with Gnome62 who had already found this. great hide.

Awesome camo

There was a bit of a double coincidence involved in me finding this cache. Mrs B and I had planned a trip to Taranaki to look at some gardens in the Fringe Festival this year, so of course I ran a pocket query to give me details of some caches to look for while we were there. After running the pocket query I displayed all the results on a map. This cache was the only one of over 200 on my map that I clicked on to look at the details in advance (coincidence number 1 - why this one and not one of the many others?). Loved the idea, but I'm not one for memorising other people's quotes, so needed to look one up before we left. Having done that I memorised it ready to use...then soon forgot all about it!

Once in Taranaki it seemed that every garden we stopped at initially was either nowhere near a cache or if it was, we'd already found it on a previous trip. So on day 2 of our trip I resorted to having Mrs B check the Garmin periodically as we drove to let me know if we approached a drive-by. I knew there would be some, but hadn't checked where they would be. I was surprised when she never alerted me to any, though I could see she was checking often enough. Eventually, after 2 more gardens, she made a comment that made me realise she'd been using the Garmin wrong and the map hadn't been following our progress at all! Having sorted that out we set off again and AT LAST she announced there was a cache coming up. I was overjoyed to discover it was this one (coincidence number 2) because at THAT point remembered it was one I wanted to visit and had prepared for. So I wrote my quote on a slip of paper and we set off to search.

Co-ordinates were good and it was pretty obvious where the cache was supposed to be, even without the hint, but I was having difficulty spotting it. Then Mrs B made a comment and I checked and she was right. A very clever piece of camo I must say. There were only 2 loose quotes inside, so rather than take one as a swap I added mine to the collection and then signed the log (wrote the quote in there as well)and replaced the cache.

As it was a Saturday all was quiet at GZ, perfect timing and muggle free. Gets a FP from me for the great idea as well as the very clever cache container. As it turned out, for a variety of reasons, it was the ONLY cache we found in Taranaki on this trip as well.

With evisser8. Great find! Good fun. Thank you!

Brilliant! Sheer brilliance! Added a quote!

Beautiful setting. A very clever container. Enjoyed finding this one.

well designed and cleverly camouflaged - grandson left a quote

Saturday morning seemed the ideal time to look for thiscache - no school children nor churchgoers. We liked both the concept of quote swapping and the very clever hide here, so are adding a well-deserved favourite point. Thanks.

Good cache. Nice community. Thanks.

We ventured through the land of milk and honey to find this beautiful proverbs 31 cache. It's glory was hidden until it was found. It's good to be dominating life with my cousin, "he who shall not be named". *Cough Cade Hunger Cough*

Nice hide, tftc.

Good hide. Loved this one. It really looked like it should be there. No muggles.

I really liked this hide.
There were a lot of people across the road playing rugby but we managed to slip in and out undetected.
Thanks for the cache

Well hidden cache, although also an easy find, that earns an FP from me.
T F T C powickscomeon.

Dropped off TB

This time I came equipped with a quotation, and enjoyed reading other contributions, while waiting for a sudden surge of traffic to pass. For such a small place, there is a lot of interest around here. TFTC and a favourite from me.

Great hide. Love the quote idea. cheers from casa del hince TFTC

After a 2.5 days tramp around Mt Taranaki Slieschke and I were on our way back to Auckland which did include finding some geocaches along the way. quick find. TFTC

Found with Niccy15. Good little cache

very cleaver. awesome location with pvmills and andrewbrooking

Lots of fun

Repaired and replaced. Once again, please make sure no water can get in by placing the cache lid-side-down before leaving. Thanks.

Found mid afternoon before school was out so no muggle problems. Looked in one place and thought "I wonder if that's it." but 'No' it didn't seem to be it. Checked out other possibilities and returned to the first hunch and "Hey presto!" TFTC

Performing maintenance. May I remind everyone again to please replace UPSIDE DOWN to prevent water entering through the lid. It's awesome that so many people have found it. Cheers.

Left a laminated quote called be the best you which is one of my favorites, even of it doesn't survive you can google it:) log very wet but awesome camo with a lid that did not want to budge and I waa beginning to wonder if it was the right one. Number 6 for today

It was time for a mission to visit some Taranaki caches especially some of the ones in the backblocks.

No quotation today.

Cheers for the cache.

on our long holiday to taranaki and back to gisborne, a loop track.Awesome cache, wet and rusty though. could do with some maintenance.

Found while cycling around NZ. Nice hide but inside it's all just a ball of wet paper. TFTC

Found it sadly all wet was unable to exchange quotes

Quick find today. Appreciate the container. This is what caching is all about.

Day #1 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.

Found on a night caching mission after dropping off gear at my accommodation in New Plymouth.

Unfortunately the cache hadn't been replaced with the lid facing downwards and was full of water although I did manage to mark the wet log.

Thanks!

Day 3 of the KiwiFruitsNZ/Vamber road trip saw us head back to Auckland, picking up some more lonely caches and some D/T combinations to help us with our GIO License requirements.

A quick find and quote left.

The last day of our trip down to Taranaki with KiwifruitsNZ, saw us heading on our way back home to Auckland, picking up some solved puzzles and lonely caches on the way to meet the requirements for the GIO Licence series.

Loved the idea of the quote sharing from this cache! There were some good ones in there too. A quick find before hitting the road again. Thanks for the hide!

Enjoyed finding this well camoed cache but I'm a little unsure why in the description it leads you to believe the cache is in the tree when it isn't. Unfortunately the tree has been damaged.

Our quote is always this: Every cache is an adventure

Wicked quotes. Great find. Cute little church.

A lovely wee church, well done on the nicely camoed hide, we love quotes, many thanks.

Cool cache .... Love the quotes ... Easy find

Easy found think out of the sqaure

Find no. 4 of the day on my round Taranaki roadtrip. Nice hide... clever! Had to wait while congregation dispersed, but fortunately not too long. TFTC. Gets a fav from me.

Very well done. neat hide

Good spot - lovely church and great camo.

After spending Christmas with family in Wellington, we made our way slowly North again, having explored New Plymouth we were now making the final stretch to Auckland, all the while collecting a few caches along the way. On our back to the highway 3 we saw this cache and thought we would quickly stop and find it. What a great structure and cool hide. TFTC a favourite!

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

Found with banjoboy2012. Looked straight at it initially but decided that couldn't be it. But alas! TFTC

Awesome hide found with moodlemum. TFTC

Number one on a wet Sunday's cache hunt. After driving past this each working day decided it was time to make a stop. An easy find, but we didn't leave a quotation, sorry. Hope to pick a suitable one and drop it in later. Signed log, thanks for the cache.

I think Pippi Longstocking would have made a good geocacher!
An unusual cache container that blends in nicely!
Many thanks
