Stormy Point Lookout (Manawatu) Rewa, North Island, New Zealand

This one has gone missing a few times

This one we drove past without stopping. It's caused us a bit of frustration when we've stopped before & had no luck finding it, so we thought we'd give it a miss this time, especially with all the no-finds b4

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 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Bit too many DNF's to request another Needs Maintenance Log. Time to go I think.

Sadly didn't find it. By the looks of the recent logs it may have been muggled.

Awesome place for a cache though

2nd visit, in 2 months, still no joy finding this one - a lovely spot for a cache!

Didnt read logs before attempting so will add another DNF.

Read logs after having a good look round, it appears to have gone.

Came through here heading home. Didn't find it and judging by the other non-finds I'm thinking this magnificent view could use some maintenance.

Had a bit of a look in all places possible - but wasn't optimistic anyway having seen all the previous DNF'S

Add my name and put it on hold please.

No luck definitely looks like its been muggled! Lots of empty beer bottle's laying around!

Good GPS strength and time between Muggles but to no avail

Had a good search for this one. GPS was bang on. Perhaps this one needs to be checked by the owner or someone who has found this one before? Lovely day with an awesome view from the lookout. Thanks for bringing us here.

Our GPS wasn't working properly & even though we'd checked on Google maps before we left, we were unfortunately unable to find this cache.

Last for the day and getting cold. Tresun located this one and we were eventually back on the road. TFTC.

Found with Psychrn

Easy find wuth teejay

Rather hard to get but got it in hand. Great view. Left TB. TFTC

Checked this one out - everything's alright

Checked this one out - everything's alright

Was wrapped that there is another cache here, was a bit sad to say that the earthcache that I did here has being archived as it was one of those caches that was very educational. Arriving at GZ and after a quick search I was able to find the cache in the first spot that I looked, what a great spot for a cache, thanks for placing it here and bringing me back to this lovely spot, TFTC TNLNSL (3248)

Up and running again

Will replace the missing cache next weekend

Nope nothing.

Looked in all the obvious places for this cache but could not find it. Will try again another time.

stopped here many times. lovely view but no cache.

like previous cacher couldnt find
lotsssssssssssss of rubbish everywhere
that i was unable to clean up as i didnt have rubbergloves
unidentified items beware
maybe better to archive and not replace sorry

Walked up and back three times checking where I thought it should be. No sign. Will have to do another trip this way another day. Lots of rubbish/bottles thrown into the surrounding paddocks.

Found in pitch black after an eventful day's caching with G_G_G. Thanks for the cache--I remember the excellent earthcache that used to be here!

Nice view today had previously found the old cache here, but always a nice place to stop!

Driving north towards Taupo we had neglected to load caches from this area onto the GPS, and the laptop battery was flat. Pulled into the carpark at Stormy Point Lookout thinking that this was an obvious place for a cache. Found one in the second place we looked! Fabulous view from here. Thanks.

Love this lookout. what a great view. Last time we tried to retrive this (a year ago) we were muggled big time so left for another time. So we were very happy to be able to retrieve it this time on our way south.

Ducked out into rain and wind and found it quickly, took it back to car to log, got out of the car and started back again, but then I had "Muggle trouble". How could I replace it now?.. Well the young female muggles were so captivated with themselves and trying to get a photo of themselves in the rain and the wind, I had slipped up, replaced and was gone while they were totally unaware of my existence it seemed. . Another of your many thanks

Our 5th cache of the day while returning home from holidays. What a beautiful spot. Thanks. Took TB.

Awesome view - uncanny coincidence - bumped into someone we knew from Hamilton (our home) admiring the view here

Had to be a little stealthy with this one, ended up taking a family photo for one of the local Hamilton restaurant owners that we bumped into up there

One of my favourite spots, and if there wasn't a cache here I was going to put one there! TFTC

Great find. Had to wait for 20mins after some muggles arrived to replace Butterfly out, golf ball in.

Last cache of that day. Very beautiful end of geocaching day. Nice views! Greetings from Latvia.

5200 A fascinating spot for a cache, lots of interesting geological landforms of the river terraces and a great view of snow-capped Ruapehu, TFTC.

2nd find today on our way to palmy. out marble, ironman in 2 butterflies. Great place to stop to admire the view

A quick dash to this one. Stormy Point was living up to its name today.
+ a marble, - nothing.

I hed no coo-rdinates and I found this cache. I had really good luck.

Nice to stop off here again and look out over the terraces where we used to have an earthcache. Even nicer to see the information sign has finally been replaced. Hope it lasts this time. Always a stunning view and, true to its name, there is often a stormy sky overhead. TFTC.

yay.... first to find after nzcoozer... . woohoo!!! we drive past this spot frequently and thought it would be a great spot for a cache... left gingy TB. TFTC

A nice view, even though it was a bit dark.
Quick find.
Thanks.
