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.

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.

I Gave this cache a good go. Doggies were very patient while I searched.

As per previous log. GPS put us in the middle of a field. No rocks. Vegetation 20 - 30 metres away. Looks like area has been cleared at some stage.

GPS put me in the middle of a paddock - no cache or camouflage in sight. Mind you, previous logs indicate the co-ordinates could be considerably out or that the area could have been cleared recently. Certainly there were a lot of tyre marks on the ground that made me think that might be the case. Either way, no cache to be had.

Nup, no luck this time. Perhaps the recent clearing of veg from the area may have taken the cache with it.

Good hide, tracked it down while in the area. Thanks.

No number on lid of the cache and the logbook saturated and unlogable

Quickly found when looking in the right section. Thanks!

Easy find once i was at the right spot!
Number on lid unreadable, needs replacing

Thanks, replaced where I found it but not sure if this is its original position. Nothing under the lid, can see where a label has been.

Took a moment or two to narrow it down to the right spot.

Great natural camo cannot read under lid please replace

Cannot read under lid

Great find. Numbers are unreadable though..

Cool but numbers are hard to read

Nice easy find. Tftc

A bit of a walk in the Park and a good find. TFTC.

Nice quick find for our Friday outing thanks !

Found it thanks to clue. Damp but still ok.

Another one found by the boys. TFTC

Hopped off the bus on the way home from work. Squelched across the boggy paddock, found cache (a tad damp) squelched back, hopped on another bus, home.
Thanks BMNZ

#1269, this park seems to be a very popular dog spot. TFTC

The male members of dean-crew were at the golf driving range, so I took the opportunity to collect some caches within walking distance. Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon. GPS was 6m out, but upon using the hint, I found the cache in the first place I looked. TFTC

easy find. TFTC

Filling in time being constructive to avoid a major traffic jam on the bridge heading back home in the city. Thanks for a visit to this reserve that I haven't been to before.

Code number has faded away...

Popped out with the Future Finder for some afternoon caching in the sunshine! Super quick find here in the first place we checked. Thanks to Just Floundering for replacing the log. Unfourtunetely, I wasn't able to deciper the number for the The Howl Heist. It has decayed away. A bit disappointing since we have started working on this series. Anyway, cheers for the cache pacement.

2.30pm. Circled around to find the hint objects. Quickly the cache was in hand. Sadly the container was almost full of water and the log saturated beyond redemption. Burrowed into the caching bag and located a new small plastic bag and a couple of fresh sheets of paper so that a new log was born. The old log isn't worth saving I'm afraid.

M&P.

Found this one without too much trouble. Log is too wet to sign and the number has been rubbed off the underside of the lid. Took photo to prove my find and will email the owner for the code - it's my last one so keen to finally solve this multi. TFTC

Out this way with the family to enjoy some quiet alone time after some recent full-on happenings. Unfortunately we could not take the pram to this cache due to rough grounds so while the two ladies enjoyed the views and breeze.

Second cache of the day for us and again a quick and easy find.

Wandered over after work, natural camo made for a bit of a search. Unfortunately log book soaked and very hard to write on.

Took some time to find due to great natural camo, log book abit wet and needs to be changed. TFTC

Log Book Soaked and falling apart.

Lunch time excursion with Jones-Family to find a few more in the series

1st of 2 this lunch time with fellow cacher james.hannaht. Very Long grass at GZ had us searching for a bit.
TFTC.

My third stop after work and this is a nice little spot. Fairly secluded and the only people who could really see you there from the motorway are too busy trying to avoid bouncing off each other on their way home. Cache was well hidden, but like its sister, Madogga, is retaining water. The log book is saturated, but I managed to sign with my gel pen. Two down, hopefully I will be able to get the others in fairly short order...TFTC!

Easy find with s & f. Cache wet, tftc

First Find of the day to kazexplorer #162, 2012-03-25 at 14:16, TFTC

Nice find by kazExplorer TFTC log book wet. Almost there, cheers team!

A nice walk from the Arts Centre. Cache found quite easilly (with clue) although co-ords did seem a wee bit out. TFTC.

A wee walk through the wet grass but a quick find.
TFTC

Found after a brief search. The logbook was wet but still usable.

TFTC

nice easy cache big space so close to city

very well hidden seeing as the area is overgrown in grass but eventually found it

thanks , this one was quite hard with no gps

Was doing a couple of others in the area so thought I would try this one without any clues............duh! The GZ took me to the middle of the trees but the grass was up to my ears so made looking difficult. Gave up after a few minutes and decided to take clues with me next time!!! Great walk though.

Found easily enough. Quite wet. TFTC.

Quick find TFTC.

Another to tick of the list. The boys enjoyed riding in the lift.

Quick find with my family. One of my little brothers was complaining about how itchy his legs got because of the high grass. I had to carry him on my shoulders on the way back so I didn't have to hear him complain anymore. TFTC

A doggy cache for Dylan our doggy trackable, but alas, too big to fit. Dylan will have to hang out with Dawg a bit longer, until we can find a cache that will fit him. Our third Heist Cache - might have to make the effort and colllect the rest sometime.

On a bit of a wander around the shore today.
So I got this one as I was off along on my walk.

Once I trudged through all the grass, it was easily found! Yay, first one in the series, but I don't know when I will have the time to complete the rest! ... ah well, not too bad, as I wrote the number down, ready for me to find the rest of the series! (One day when I get a car... )

TFTC!!

A nice wee walk out to the cache, TFTC

Found my first one in this series - thanks.

Found on a pleasant walk afte lunch and before the usual things in a day. t4tc

went there with only coordinates , no hints, nothing. was confused as it points btw two trees . I started looking around one of them then found it around the other. Three rocks unusual. I put up the new coordinates , hopefully the right ones.

Apologies for the late log.
Our second find in The Howl Heist series. Love the artwork. Pleasant walk to GZ and a quick find. Thanks.

#423: Lots of prickly stuff here, but easy find nonetheless

Dropped GC

#733 Out and about for a few caches with helefant & UGTME. Quick find on the way back from the Totem. SL. TFTC.

Good to be able to sit here in the shade for awhile after the walk (if you can call it walking whenthe grass is mid calf high) over to Totem and then here. TFTC

See that a garden is going to be constructed in the area. Good to see that sort of development being planned. Grass in the socks today! TFTC

Getting dark but one to go!

Interesting area of land, surely not going to be idle for ling, TFTC

Out for an early morning caching, nice spot, thanks for the cache.

Nice placement, added pencil that was missing, thanks!

Off to get a few of the close to home caches done. Getting still closer.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice walk across the grass to GZ, TFTC

TFTC

No thieves or dogs at the station today. Tried to hunt them down - no luck, but we got a clue
TNLNSL TFTC

Parked at the driving range and took a peaceful walk to GZ. No sign of the thieves today but did find the clue. Will track them down soon. TFTC

"Im just taking the dog for a walk"...
"Where to?"
"Well, I think Im looking for cat burglars on a hound heist"
"....Hmmm...OK"

Out we go and the Pound Hound and I are on the trail of the art works........

Thanks.

Long wet grass, great way to start the days cache run.
