The cache owner is not responding to issues with this geocache, so I must regretfully archive it.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers 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 so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
TheCur8or
Geocaching.com Volunteer reviewer

Please send me a link to the cache in question, or at least provide its GC number, so I will know which cache you are writing about.

Had a good look around but not even the mentioned rocks are there any longer. The garden looks nice and tidy though so possibly the gardner removed everything. Recommend archiving as CO's no longer in the area.

Had a good search but nothing there

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Long searched and found nothing.

Definitiv NO Cache here

Unfortunately no cache here anymore that we could see

No cache here

Had a good rummage but no sign of the cache around or under the rocks

Saw a couple of likely-looking rocks, but no cache.

Got to the spot, identified the sign and the rocks but no sign of the cache.

Found the sign. Found the rocks. Didnt find the cache.

18:01 , Kia ora Aotearoa .
Urlaub und cachen unter der langen weißen Wolke .
Das intensive Grün der Farne , Wälder und Wiesen , das klare Blau des Himmels und das freundliche Türkis des Meeres .
Die Delfine , Seehunde und Pinguine die wir in ihrem natürlichen oder geschützten Lebensraum beobachten konnten .
Die unendlichen vielen verschiedenen Strand- und Küstenformationen .
Die kleinen Kunstwerke vor den Privathäusern , in den Gärten , Cafes , Parks oder an den Straßen .
Das Alles macht Neuseeland so einzigartig und hat uns entspannt und freudestrahlend über die Insel getragen .
Gefreut haben wir uns auch über diesen Cache am Wegesrand .
Auf dem Weg durch Italien , äh Nelson , konnten wir hier auch einen Cache finden .
Vielen Dank für das Abenteuer vor Ort .
Gruß sulu .

Sorry for the late log entry, but the memory is still there .

This cache eluded me years ago when tried it. Back today with number 13 in the rain when no-one was paying much attention and easy find. TFTC

In the area early this morning and able to make the quick grab. Thanks for the cache.

Greetings from Texas! We are enjoying Nelson on day 11 of our 19 day visit to New Zealand. This one was close to our hotel. TFTC!

Had some time spare so decided to get this one found quickly signed and replaced tftc

I was in luck as I do Brazilian Juijitsu there, and found it! It was well hidden and an easy find.

Today we had our second day in Nelson and again made a trip in and around the city, with special emphasis on the Abel Tasman national park where we made a long cruise along the coastside. On this trip - not on the cruise - we searched, found and logged many caches, too. The weather was good, sunny, very warm, no bit cloudy, and only sometimes there was some wind.
Almost no muggels observed us as they had better things to do than observing two geocachers.

Thanks to beltfamily for showing us this location and for the fun we had at Viva Italia (Nelson/Marlborough). The search we had here today didn't take too much time.

Greetings from Germany and hope to see you soon in the forest.

Quick easy find on the Sunday after an All Blacks rest. Tftc

Found after a bit of a search as location was slightly off on our phones. A fun Father’s Day experience!

Looked for this one some weeks ago and came to the conclusion it was clearly gone given detailed description and hint, and knowledge of the CO providing excellent coordinates.

A bit of extra info from the community advised that the CO I no longer active in the area so Tregearp and I did some maintenance and have replaced the cache.

A camoed elclipse in what we deduced to be the original location where our GPSrs both gave 1m distance.

After a few DNFs, SJT_NZ spoke to a few peeps in the community and decided to do a little maintenance, I was keen on a Red, Green & White container but wasn't in line with suitable camo given the urban placement. Hopefully back in original location and all good to go. TFTC

Not here I'm afraid.

Rocks are there, no Cache though.

Nothing there

Definitely not there!

Park and grab.

Another easy find tftc

We parked right next to it and found it like a minute later. Thanks beltfamily.

Scored the perfect park and then found the cache with NeeWok whilst no one was looking. Thanks Beltfamily.

Easy find

TFTC

We looked for this cache twice but dnf it. We think it has gone walk about.

Busy spot. Had to wait a while to recover.

Easy find, enjoyed the background story. Tftc!

Another good find last person 365 days ok awesome

Found

This one was actually pretty easy ^^

First find for ReCached and me in Nelson. This one was very easy, no muggles from the restaurant or whatsoever. One attempt, cache found. TFTC beltfamily!

Thanks. beltfamily for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 5245 for me.

After Pizza @ Stefano, we went for a stroll. Grazie per il cache. Tanti saluti di Zurigo (Switzerland).

Spent the night at the hotel next door and this one was a quick find early this morning. TFTH

NQF where it stated. TFTC and greetings from the UK

Easy find. Good spot. Very close to main road. Careful for muggles.

Thanks

Thanks

Nice quick find while visiting Nelson. Sl. Tftc

A quick easy find another one to tick of on my streak .Tftc beltfamily

Just returned from my holiday and catching up on the logs from my fantastic trip. Struck out on a couple of others I didn't have time to do an adequate search for. This one practically popped into my hand. Signed log. Thanks

Nice to have a bit of purpose to am afternoon walk. Interesting to see I was the second find of the day, that's a first for me

TFTC

Found it done 12 meters from GZ TFTC

19:23. TFTC, last find of a long day. Hope the neighbourhood likes jazz...it was blaring from the restaurant.

Thanks for an easy find

Found it. Quick park and grab. Ziplock bag a bit sticky for my liking. Maybe a fresh, non sticky one would be good? TFTC!

A QEF just as the hint suggested. Thanks beltfamily for the cache

Well, that was quick.

But I definitely prefer those quick and easy caches over the difficult and frustrating ones.

The travelling fox is happy =^,^=

On our visit to Nelson we found this one.
TFTC

Found it

Aucun intérêt et c'est la première fois que je fait ce entre de remarque sans doute pose par le restaurateur lui même ?

SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, now in New Zealand.
Having arrived from Picton in the afternoon, we made a little stroll around the northern town to find some caches before having dinner.
Indeed, not the nicest cache, would be in need of a propper cleaning... But anyhow, TFTC

tftc, with duselwusel

with bauz007
the bag where the logbook is inside was very sticky :/ it would be better to change it.
tftc

First one for Nelson. love rugby. But the bag is sticky as! Glad there was heaps of puddles around to wash my hands after. People in cars looking at me funny. Lol tftc

A quick grab alongside our way to end a beautiful day spent in Nelson.
Container looks good from the outside, but is kind of sticky and oily inside.
Thanks for hiding!

18:20
Last cache for the day, and it left me with sticky hands...
It is obviously a felony done by some muggle because the cache contents are not merely wet, something sticky has been put/poured into the container... Also, there's a willy drawn on the logbook.

But it's not all that bad, in fact, the logbook is mostly intact.

Thanks for the cache!

Easy find, but there was some kind of "goo" sticking everything together both inside and out. (Future catchers might want to bring some hand sanitizer.) Thanks for the cache anyway!

Flew in to Nelson for a night ahead of walking the Abel Tasman, so of course I had to get a geocache or two! My tramping companion was in a good mood thanks to the glorious weather, so indulged me with this one on our walk to explore the CBD. Fortunately, I didn't take long with this cache ... it was a quick find before my muggle pal lost patience. We carried on with our walk and came upon the masked parade for the opening of the arts festival. Drums and bagpipes and stilt walkers!!!! Such a nice introduction to a beautiful part of New Zealand! TFTC!

Tyftc. Nice day to be out.

Charlotte and Felicity helped me find their first cache. Thanks

Day 2 of a successful caching weekend for Jojo and I in Nelson. Weather not the greatest but the rain held off, and today we went a little more urban than cross country so we were able to keep dry. Very impressed with the engineering and ingenuity of the caches we have encountered, and we'll be giving up a fair few of our hard earned favourite points in recognition. 46 caches collected- some very specifically for challenges, and only a few DNFs. But the main thing is we had fun . Sorry about the cut and paste and thanks to all COs.

Just meters from where we are staying while visiting...it would have been a crime not to....even in the middle of the night. Thanks for a cool urban cache.

You might need a partner to look out for you as you search for this one--(worked for us! Hahaha) tufts! No TB found, left a marble

Good condition. Cache easy to find.

Brought here this afternoon to find a TB. Geocachers not so great with leaving TB notes & thus not here.

On a break at work, went for a walk and coffee.

No TB here.

Thanks for that

Searched low but could not find-load of hedge clippings recently been dumped here -muggled??

Quick grab, under a pile of clippings!

Quick grab, tftc

On tour in NZ! To safe space and time we logged as cg3 (caching girls 3)!
