By Moneydork on 16-May-10. Waypoint GC28KFQ

No luck for me.

Sorry but i have found it, it is still there!
Wet but at the coords!
TFTC!

Had a quick look with Edvern but didn't find it. If a size was given and a hint we would have been more persistent.

Cache archived.

I noticed that this cache has beenin 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.

A new day and new road ahead for us. Today we are leaving the Glaciers after a night in Franz Josef and heading towards Greymouth. Stayed in town for fish and chips dinner on the beach and watching the bon fire. Awesome. TFTC

Still looking in the wrong place. M&P

Logbook soaked can't write on it.

Looks like logbooks just dont stay dry in this place.

Used vivid to write on it. Can't really read our log. Needs maintenance!

Heading out to cache for the day with my little geobuddies Coco and Milo and Nosynel of course. A quick find after bit of log reading. Cheers. Log book soaked through couldn't really write I it. Needs maintenance.

As others have mentioned the logbook is seriously damp. We did manage to scratch our names on it though. Perhaps the next cachers could replace the log so that it doesn't need to be archived.

Found the cache ... and the water-logged log, much like others did.

Fluffyduck38 found this one, the rest of us were looking in the wrong spot. Needs new logbook.

Nice quick find TFTC

We found this cache on our way from Hokitika to Fox Glacier by car We found almost all caches alon this beautiful road! Road full of beautifull scenic views, nature and nicely colored river! This is such a awesome piece of nature! Two glaciers in one day and it was absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for making this cache, beautiful stop

Another dnf, looked hard too. Maybe a hint needed

Happy to find this cache. You wouldn't want your good shoes on with this one. The log was soaked through and unable to write on so we added a piece of paper folded up. TFTC

yay

Found awesome game love it

Out and about with Mrs Nofs on a lovley West Coast day. Managed to take in lots of views and snag a cache or two while we were about it. Thanks for adding these to this part of the world.

New to this love it.

On a maintenance run around Hoki today with our great niece/granddaughter Allyssa (1yrs).
We were planning on checking on this last time we were here but ran out of time. We stopped today with a replacement ready. With no hint I put it where I remember it being when we found it nearly 4 years ago.

I also didn't find it. Since there is no hint, no size and a low difficulty rating, my assumption is that this needs maintenance, i.e. it's missing.

No sign

nooo

Tried my best but I gave myself only 10 minutes to find the cache as I was in a hurry to find as many caches in one day.

Found where i believe cache was but nothing there. Might be worth checking.

Logbook is wet, not possible to write on it. We put in an extra piece of paper...

Quick & easy Thanks.

Required some hunting to locate this cache which was a little bit soggy [:o)]. Wish we had more time to wander along more of the walkways in this pleasant town.

Found on a brief walk before heading to Whataroa to see the white herons.

Last half of holiday trip in New Zealand.Starting again from Queenstown going Westcoast up and Eastcoast down.. Nice things seem to be found here. First it looked like all day raining, but then we sometimes had good conditions. Thanks for the great adventure.

Oh No! Our holiday is drawing to a close. Day 18 and travelling from Hokitika to Greymouth today. Again no rain but a little overcast. Still nipping around in our little Corolla, Geo Hire Car with Flags flying - Getting noticed everywhere we go. lol....

Checked out of our accommodation and before leaving town decided to pick up a few local caches as we headed off.

Wow there's so many White Baiters here. Does everyone make a living by fishing?

Found the cache after yakking to a few.

TFTC moneydork

A difficult one as alot of water around. Container wet but log ok.

Found it. TFTC

Quick find & a good view. Last cache while we are at Hokitika. TFTC

Signed log. TNLN

A beautiful days walk around Hoki today. A nice quick find thanks

nice one needed a bit more time
so merci

good find thanks

Took us a few minutes but then clicked. Right under our nose the whole time. Rats

Cool hiding place. Great when the hints are physical ones. Just had the log signed and safely rehidden when a group of walkers came by. I was so pleased I didn't have to explain what I was up to. - - - No time for being sociable this morning. Closest I've been to doing a wherigo Hey, the log book was ok. You might like to remove that annoying attribute.

At least can sometimes find before Mr KE.

Oh there it is much easier to find when someone hands it to you. TFTC

Quick find in the evening, great to have the moon shining like tonight. TFTC

Nice little hide.
Will have to return with a pen to sign log.
Warning though, susceptible to flooding where it is. I have seen this area under water alot during high river flows and flooding.

Oh no, second DNF in row for us.
Eeek!
Oh well, on to the next one.
TFTC.

Missed the cache on first pass, but when I came back there it was. Dried out the container and left a replacement logbook and baggie.

No log book thou! Great hide

Great site, log v wet

Easy enough to find, maybe different if river in flood. Cache very wet so unable to sign log. NEEDS MAINTAINENCE!Definately need a water tight container for this one or even put it in a snaplock plastic bag. this would certainly help

a lovely place.
TFTC, greetings from Germany

It wasnt where we went. Will try again another time.

Had to search for the right path in-nice spot.

I thought I found a possible spot for it to be hidden but it wasn't there. It therefore must be somewhere else I guess.

Found it.. U didnt mum

Easy find

Dropped off the 4WD for its warrant - and was going to walk up town when we saw that this wasn't far out of our way so we ambled up - as rain was threatening again there werent any muggles about so a quick retrieve and it worked out well as we ducked under the bridge and on into town - signed log thanks for the cache

With having no car for the next little while we were about to just stroll the shops when we noticed this one just down the road. We ambled down to GZ and grabbed the cache with no problem and then headed for the shelter of town before the rain moved in. Not sure if i would have liked the wherigo with having problems with the last but think i had downloaded the wrong version yet to see!
Thanks for the cache

Nice little walk, lots of snow in the hills. TNLN TFTC.

Nice quick find, although my river access was not to be my exit as the tide changed whilst doing the cache and I had to climb out. Cheers Gav [9495]

Also followed by a muggle, but hiding behind the pram gave shelter to lift the cache.

My GPS battery ran out under the bridge. The grandchildren with a spare GPS were quickly into action and found the cache was I was still coming up the rear. TFTC

Mrs Sobad strolled up the road from the motel while Sobad had a nanny nap. Nearly muggled by a local who was concerned she was lost. She had to wander futher along the walkway before returning for a quick retrieve. Thanks for our first Wherigo - well the first with Wherigo in the title.

Great Cache, Thanks

Found cache after a brief search. Nice short walkway. SL TFTC

Mr B just released the hold he had over a park where he was going to place a Wherigo. I lost the will to live I see you had the same outcome here . Cache has been submerged and very soggy. Will need some lovin'

Found surprisingly quickly. cache container was covered in silt. definitely been under water lately, managed to sign the soggy log using the pen provided. Will need some TLC. TNLN SL TFTC

Judging by the slit this cache went under but everything was dry.

Still looking for a Wherigo

Very close to the water level today and it was still rising. Hope it stays safe! SL. TFTC.
