Kervil The Frog (Auckland) Te Atatu Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand

As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, 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 un-archive it.

Archive haven't been found for a long time

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, 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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Couldn't find it

Think you might need to look at this.

Sorry could not find. Might need to be checked on.

Nope, gone i would say

No luck on this looked in all the obvious spots without going in to private property

Thanks got it.

Glad we had a limber youngling with us!

Thankfully we had 2 eagle eyed kids and a super Spiderman like climber - as I am a shorty and would never have reached it. Bit of a puzzle about where it lived to put it back - but hopefully it's in the right spot. Nice night for a walk too - thanks for that )

easy find because we had seen cache on photo- so placed it a little bit lower for next person TFTC

This one did my head in for quite some time. Sat down to stare at it and bingo! Doesn't seem to want to reattach well, slipped around quite a bit for me. Grabbed some fallen peaches from nearby tree, what a waste to see them rotting on the ground. Tftc!

It was above the fence in the neighbours place, I assume it's the cache owners place???

Took a bit,but got it in the end just as we were about to give up. Replaced where we think the home is... We found somewhere else... Thanks.

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

A park not visited before, really had not explored this part of Auckland much at all, so thanks again for the hide. I remember GPS bounced around a bit, I wonder if the cache has been moved too far from GZ?

Hard to find. Had to lay down for a bit before finding it.

Sneaky hide, co-ords out about 5m on my GPS. Had to sit and think where could it be, when something caught my attention! Log signed and tube returned to hiding spot. Thanks for the hide, and bringing us here.

Yeah- found it! Nice and low

Looked for this but could not find it.

Nowhere for this little froggy to hide, ground is dry dirt and fence has no hidey holes. Maybe he has hopped away to a new pond.

Well Ma n Me looked for it high and low .... not saying its gone coz we are both old n blind but it may be worth a maintenance visit at some time.

Nope no luck here. GPS sent me to a likely spot but there was no cache to be found. Can this one be checked please!

Cache no longer face high but good fun

We had to abort an earlier attempt on this hide when some Muggles sat on the rise to eat there lunch. Came back here after racking up three DNFs on other CO caches. This was starting to look like number four. Even though the coords where good and the description helpful and the hint meaningful I just couldn't spot it. Eventually it occurred to me that it may have fallen down and there it was at GL. I tried to return it as described on the cache page, but it just wouldn't stay secure. So, I returned it to GL. Glad to find this one after my earlier note--unfinished business and all that--and to break that DNF steak!

Didn't see any frogs but we heard and then saw some chickens next door.

A nice quick find on a sunny afternoon TFTC

Found it before voshed

Another find before VOSHED come on old fella you can do it !!!

Quick find ! Nice quiet spot !

Nice and easy find , even in the dark !

Rivit, Rivit. After dark but no trouble. TFTC.

FTF the new cache! Thanks for the replacement.

Time to call time on this one? CO (hasn't been online for some months) needs to check.

Same as previous logs....got to GZ and nothing anywhere in locality. Definitely gggooonnneee

Looks like this one is well and truly gone now.

Tried looking for this one, no luck and then saw the logs and moved on!

Another DNF here. Not a sign anywhere. CO needs to check this thanks.

No joy for us this evening - I note the CO hasn't been online for sometime and has a few other caches that need some attention.

Looked and looked where we thought it should be but to no avail. Will have to try again

No luck today. Next time.......

Baby sitting my nearly one year old granddaughter and after her afternoon nap we had time for a quick cache before her mum came home from work...
Park all quiet - cache soon in hand - getting into it was the trickiest part...
New log and all in great condition - TFTC

Spent a sunny afternoon finding a few caches on the Te Atatu Peninsula. Cache was not at the first place I looked but managed to find quite easily. As previously mentioned, the log book is saturated and barely usable. Only just managed to scratch name and date. TFTC.

The log book was wet. May need replacing. TFTC

A nice quick easy find. A bit of a walk to get to GZ as we missed the easier entrance! Thank you

Nice quick find, very wet log book but still managed to write in it, of sorts. TFTC.

Log was saturated couldn't write in it, needs replacing and put in a plastic bag or waterproof the box

Couldn't write in the log book, it was saturated! Good hide, tftc

In the area for work meetings. Was actually heading towards the beach for a quick cache at lunch time. Stopped to check direction, noticed this cache and decided not to keep going but just to lock the caching wagon and head down the path. TFTC, gave me a bit longer to eat.

TFTC. SLB. TNLN.
Nice day out caching and exploring the surrounding parts of Auckland.
Did some Munzee’s while in the area.
Park verry soggy today.
Logbook wet.

With cheap flights from Wellington to Auckland, decided to do caching trip with friends for couple of days....... first trip to Auckland, so it was a bit of a juggling thing to do caching and sightseeing all in one go LOL...... TFTC. TNLN.
Logbook wet and needs plastic bag

Mom decided to do caching trip with her friends for couple of days....... first trip to Auckland for us, so it was nice ...... TFTC. TNLN.

Good place for a cache.
TFTC

Great find no pen

Visited and checked.

quick find TFTC

clever little hiding place, took us a few minutes to find it! tftc

Found with Laz, needed the hint for this one but found all the same. Thanks

A little search no muggles around but Kervil was well hidden. Enjoyed thanks.

all in the hint. Thanks for that

An easy find on Saturday night. I parked nearby and found it really quickly after arriving at GZ. Good paint job on this one to keep it safe. TFTC!

A quick dash out towards the closes unfound cache to complete the grid on the rare 29 February. Quick look. Quick find. Quick sign. Quick re-hide. Quick dash back home to log.
TNLNSL, TFTC

nice.. of course there is a hiding place in a nearly barren park!

Had a quick look, but GPS was putting me out in the field. Will have another go later.

TFTC

Nice easy find. We've learnt to trust our instincts when near GZ instead of relying too heavily on the phone. Often it leads you in circles and in the time that I'm going round and round, my husband has the cache in hand (gloatingly!)

Good little find. Sat down for the first time today! TFTC!

My fifth find today on a drive/walk around the Te Atatu Pennisula. The cache was quickly spotted and retrieved without issue.

TFTC

Found while in Ak to clean up this area.

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

Was strewn across the grass, have placed it back together and put it where we think it should go.

Had a look for a while, Couldn't see it in the dark with my torch. Didn't want to alarm the neighbors.

A quick find on a walk around the peninsula this morning. Signed log, TFTC!

#823: Found

In: TB- Francois The Frog

Easy find - thanks. Dropped off The Snake Travel Bug - thought he might like to have a play with Kervil the Frog

Quick easy find for us after confirming it wasn't on or in the tree.TF4T

Found on our second trip after reading some of the previous logs. Our youngest family member's first find!! Caticks was with us and it was the first find on a great caching day. TFTC

Very clever hide. If you don't look too hard, it's quite obvious. Found with geocacher "turtlebackcacher"

Searched high and low for a while. Pretty obvious when you get there.

Revamped Kervil the Frog placed back into the same position. Also placed in my first ever TB. Aiming for Aberdeen, Scotland.

Went today. Everything is gone. Thanks for letting me know everyone. Will get it sorted ASAP.

11.51am. Kervil needs some TLC

Missed it also, maybe the owner could do some maintenance?

No luck for us today.

seach for 10 minutes and couldn't find it

As the cache container is gone it should either be replaced or the cache archived.

Sort of found the cache, well part of the logbook anyway. It was lying on the ground at the base of the fence.

A new cache container should be placed here or the cache archived.

Cheers for the cache.

Signed log that's all that's left

6617 Cache needs some TLC. Found the muggled container-less remains spread around GZ... logbook still signable despite the rains. Placed under some loose bark at base of corner post. TFTC.

Cache muggled - only bits of the log book found plus a swap. Needs checking.

Found cache log and a very small possible cache container but more likely it was a swap. Initialled the very damp log and placed back under the fence. Cache muggled for sure and will need maintenance. TFTC

First find! And not far from home. No one around, and spotted it quite quickly.

Very quick find while visiting the area.

Very clever hide - had to be careful replacing without being noticed as a family playing right on the other side!

Thanks

Felt a little uneasy sticking my finger under there but no worries in the end. Was avoiding rain showers today so was really glad the rain had eased off just as I got to GZ. As I was about to replace the cache someone came walking down the path. Had to wait for her to walk past and around the corner before I could replace the cache. TFTC

Another Quick find, Found this spot a bit funny for a cache, it was in view... but GPS would have taken us about 20m further along. TFTC.
