As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
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.

Being t1 I assume I don't need to get too adventurous off the path. Therefore I have a good idea of which hint objects I should be looking for. But no luck for me like many others lately.
A lot of dnf for a difficulty 1...

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun but no luck today. Sigh. Thanks for placing the cache.
Unable to find this one today. Spent a good half hour searching but it has beaten me.
Find #2456 while on a 5-day explore of the Tasman district. Best way to see a place is to go geocaching by cycling, so spent the afternoon finding some local caches and exploring the town. Located between passing walkers and an old gent with his wheelbarrow. SL TFTC
Our first visit to the cemetery. We parked nearby and walked the short distance to GZ. All quiet while we searched. A few possible hiding places, but after looking in all the places it wasn't, my walking pole struck plastic. Trouble was, I had approached from the back of the shrubbery, so had to reverse out as I got entangled in some vines, while StreetWalker was easily able to grab the cache from the path.
Once we had the cache in hand, there suddenly were muggles everywhere. Luckily they moved just out of sight (to the nearby seat) so we were able to replace the cache unseen. TFTC.
Ooops originally logged with the incorrect date, fixed now..

#9722. We parked in the cemetery car park and made the short walk to GZ. Made hard work of finding the cache. Troodles walking pole made contact with the cache. She was a bit tied up in foliage, so I retrieved the cache while she untangled herself. A nice spot; TFTC.
Unknowingly took the long route to this one but what the heck, it was a lovely stroll. Quick find at GZ. Thanks niteowlnz!!
After we loaded up on food and gas we parked our van for the night. I decided to take an evening stroll collecting some more geocaches around the campground. TFTC
Not well hidden but covered well before I left cache:) no pencil so will return wit one
nicely hinden
What had to be a local passed us on his bike. We followed him and ended up on a track we would never have found otherwise! Thanks mate especially when there was a cache on the way too. Thanks very much niteowinz
After finding a newly solved puzzle we decided to make a couple more stops before we headed off home again. This is a busy walkway even at night so stealth was required. Dropped TB. TFTC.
As we were in the neighbourhood to find a puzzle cache we solved we tagged a couple on that have been on the to-do list for some time. GZ is muggle central and stealth was required. No problems though and we walked away with a smile. TFTC
An easy find on a perfect summerday spent in and around Motueka - naturally logging some caches along the way. Tftc!
Back home in Denmark after a lovely 3 weeks holiday in New Zealand and now there is time to log all the cache I found. Thanks to all cache owners to show me all these amazing places.
[green] Down in Motueka from Palmerston North for a bit of a family gathering over Christmas. Grabbed my dad's bike and headed off to explore the world.
The Grand old Duke of York / He had ten thousand ... trees? Followed the geotrail to the obvious hiding places, where it wasn't, of course, but at least I reinforced the trail for the next guy to be misled as well.
Funny how little camoflage you need sometimes. Like here: none! Loved the multi-coloured pen. I had to use it. I signed my log in... purple!
[red] Merry Christmas from the Seagnoid!

Found this cache which took longer than it should have. Why do we always expect there to be a trick to make it harder ? Thanks for the cache.
TB in.

Nice easy find thank you. We're pretty new to gc'ing so was great for the little one to find a cache himself! Thanks very much!
Walked over from Inner Island for a quick find. I first started heading to a similar feature off track and then read the terrain rating - Oops. Took a seat on said object to enjoy the vista as I completed the paperwork.

A short wander through the cemetary, and then an unnecessary circular wander through the bushes around GZ until I returned to the first object I looked at and looked harder. Lovely spot, TFTC
Had a couple of hours free while Mrs N did some serious cafe study. Managed to nab a few. Really nice place to cache around on a hot hot (well at least to a bloke from Dunedin) day. Thanks.

Carried on to this cache from the last and this was the straw that broke the $5 jandals back. Miss Geckoh lost the battle to keep her jandals in tact - looks like another trip to the Big Red Whare is in order. Cache was found safe and sound, no muggles around at this time of the morning. TFTC

Awsome cache, it is so fun doing these caches thank you so much for this cache I love doing them. 
We looked for this last year without an luck so it was nice to find it this time tftx
A day of caching from Lake Rotoroa through to Mot before heading home to Nelson. Took a break from caching to visit my grandfather who lies nearby. Temptation got the better of me "What's the bet there is one near by?" out came the GPS and only 90 meters away is a cache. I've always come here by car and never noticed the track before, looks like it gets a fair bit of use. Had to wait patiently while a couple of muggles past by
Did this one on a late night mission, missed the view but was amazed by all the smells - fishy sea smells, then the trees, then the woody smell of the noisy mill. Took a little bit of scratching around in the dark but got there in the end.
Loved the name of this cache which we found 'half way up to the top of the hill and halfway down again'.

.Found on an afternoon's cycle - great track and lovely views on a lovely day. TFTC.
T1D1 how hard could this be! Plenty of walkers and cyclists to dodge! eventually it appeared right where I had looked before.
