I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Hi ssgbme

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Had a quick hunt around but couldn't find it. Due to lots of previous DNFs I didn't stay too long.

????

No sign of it had a long look DNF

Probably long gone at this point.

Long lost, probably washed a way by the rain. Cleared a path all around the tree and nothing probably needs to be replaced.

Had a quick look around here, but with two DNFs and night quickly coming, I decided to go only a few minutes later. Might come back here.

Good search around the big tree but dnf

.

Really hard to find in autumn/winter, fun though

Right by the tree at the bottom me and my brother are happy thank u

Found it.
The Fallen Leaves have hidden all the rubbish so it looks quite nice.
But as all ways take care out there.
Thanks for maintaining this cach.

First one found! Yay! Can't wait to find more. Thanks for the replacement

Replaced

Needs replacement

Found but as others describe - empty bottle with no lid.. will endeavor ourselves to replace.. tbc..

It's open and empty, the place itself is horrible, lots of rubbish (empty bottles, condoms etc, absolutely not kids friendly)

Was already opened and nothing was inside

Found a empty container on the ground in front of the tree? May need maintenance

Found empty container! Log needs replacing

Found empty cache. Needs to be replaced.️

Sopping wet,so couldn't sign unfortunately

Wet couldn’t sigh

Found the cache but the logbook is extremely wet and damaged. Didn't have any log books to replace with but def needs a water right container.

Log books needs maintenance - couldn't sign. Tftc

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found ... Mrs McMike2012 & I decided that we'd head out west & park up, go for a bit of a walk, grab a cache or two & some lunch somewhere ... all goals achieved ... this cache was easily found, nobody around, so good for us ... log book not completed as it has obviously been very wet at some stage & I couldn't open it up to write in it ... TN:LN:SL ... um, no! ... TFTC ... #1,694 for us.

I'm down from the Bay of Islands area for a week geocaching with my friend. This was our first cache today. A quick find at gz. The paper is starting to deteriorate so a new log is needed. Thanks for your cache

Found it pretty easy just follow the instructions and you’ll be right.

Easy to get to, the name list in the container is quite damaged.

Co ords seemed a little out....
But easy find with hint .
Watch out for dog poo .

Second time we went to this one, we left $1 for next lucky geocacher

Up here for a flight in the Sea Sprite with the RNZAF. Tftc

I remember placed called St Margarets in Ireland. Nice campsite in County Wexford. Nice hide anyway! Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

I had some spare time today so decided to head North and West to find a few caches out in this direction. It took a little while to work the best way in to GZ. Checked a few spots then spotted the cache out in the open. Signed log and returned it with a bit better cover. TFTC, Biggles.

Neat one

Awesome find for Christmas thank you

Going through some old lists and noticed this one was never logged. Better late than never.Thanks for the cache

Another wondetful walk discovered. Only lid of bottle still green. TFTC

Couldnt find

Lovely walkway. Thanks for the cache. Logbook a bit soaked.

Still lost my pen
Found the bottle just randomly laying on the ground next to the tree... Did hide it where it should be I hope.

Looked at every tree but unable to find, suspect it's been removed?

Tftc easy find out the back of a friends house

Thought we had found the spot where this should be but all that seemed to be there was a bunch of jumping and crawling bugs. Had a quick look around elsewhere and then went back to the original spot. Sure enough after poking around the cache revealed itself. I was surprised at how quick this one had sunk in since the last log and a change of position may be in order before it disappears altogether? The log was surprising dry though and placed back where found. TFTC.

After a good rummage around I eventually tracked down this sneaky hide. TFTC

Boy, that was totally buried! Only just saw a glimpse of it
All ok
Thanks.

Nice!

Driving around here with my new cool job with Uber mapping. There was some very unpleasant smell through out the reserve. Cache was easily found and luckily there was no issues at GZ. tftc.

#3981. I am up in Auckland for yet another work trip. After a morning of work, I had the chance for a few hours off in the afternoon to get some caching done. The rain fell on and off all afternoon but by picking park and grabs I was able to find about 15 caches. I parked around the corner but soon discovered the stream blocked a direct route to the cache. So headed for the footpath. The GPS soon led me off the path and the likely hiding spot I spied from the path held the cache. Nicely placed. Signed and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding it here.

When I opened up GZ, I didn't see it at first. The PF did a great job hiding, but I eventually found it. TFTC.

When we got here, cache was just lying in the open. Have re-hiddden . TFTC

Wow first time taking my toddler, 2 niece, mother they loved the treasure hunting. Well placed great clue. Thank You

Great hiding spot

#89 the big tree and hiding place jumped right out but not before I had got myself tangled in a whole heap of branches first. Enjoyed going through this area today, surprising amount of random pathways, TFTC!

Our first geocache!!! Kids are so excited!

Grabbing a few West Harbour caches. Parked on Fitzherbert and made my way to GZ. Found in first place I looked. Nicely hidden and a really nice reserve. TFTC

Tftf was a nice quick find with the other two below

Found with Brand0n97 and darkangel10151. Brandon and I ventured out into dark to grab this one. Found the tree really quickly, but kicked around the cache a few times without realising it was it. Nice camo.

Found with brand0n97 and mikefnz. Ventured out into the dark and managed to find it quite easy tftc

Had some little trinkets and the tree is beautiful!

Last found this in 2011, still here today, cool spot TFTC

Last cache for today, as the light was getting faint. Coordinates where good, and the hiding spot was pretty obvious once I got to the area. Replacement log is in good shape. Thanks for the cache!

Found it. Isn't it moss? Paint on bottle coming off so it was easily spotable. So I hid it at same spot but better.

I initially looked in the wrong place but geowife found this one by ignoring the ivy reference. The logs in here have been reduced to papier-mache mush so we rigged a makeshift log using a receipt and put it in a ziplock bag to keep it dry - hopefully that will help. TFTC.

Found it!

Quick find for us today. Log needs replacing as very difficult to sign.

Wood

Lots of hunting under the winter leaves!

yay we found it

What a nice park. Never been here before. Good hint made this a quick find. Tftc

Nice quick find this morning, would recommend a plastic bag for the log to protect it in such a wet environment but otherwise it's all there (: thanks

Had an unexpected visit from a very tame fantail. Could have reached out and touched it.

TFTC

Easy peasy nice new local one for us

Wasn't by the ivy covered tree but it was by the big tree.

#10739. The last cache of three we found on a short walk through this quiet suburban area. TFTC.

After yesterday's washout (weather wise) and today's better forecast, StreetWalker and I were keen to do some exploring of the Te Atatu peninsula, new territory to both of us. Of course, detours to solved puzzles were part of the plan. Then there were the detours to trads on the detours to the puzzles . It took us a few hours to finally make it to our destination.
Walked on to this cache after finding the one on the pedestrian bridge. It didn't take long to find as it was in the obvious location. TFTC.

Nice cache with the kids.

Found it with the kids TFTC

Found it with onamission100%

A nice short walk on a sunny day and a quick find in the first place I looked. TFTC

tftc

Easy find

Out collecting some caches for our daily streak. Quick find here. Container was sitting in the open at the base of tree. We have removed & replaced old mushy logbook. Should keep it going for a little longer. Natural camo placed on top of hide.

Kiwi then went and made this cache a little more memorable for himself when he collected a tree branch in the eye. A trip to the White Cross required (after some more caches collected).

Easy find no ivy on tree, couldn't log cause to wet. Tftc

Eventually found the right tree with the ivy but the log is so saturated that I couldn't sign it TFTC

Tree missing ivy, Trees nearby have ivy looking stuff, Matthew, Charlette, Riley, Glenn and Nicki

It was a bit hard beacuse the tree that it was under didn't have what it said it had on the tree

log very wet and unable to be used

Visiting nearby so went for a walk in this very nice park. found the cache container all good but unable to write on log book at all...very wet. have photo of cache if proof required. Unfortunately didn't have any geo stuff with me so unable to do some maintenance. Thanks for the cache.

A nice easy find and a new area for geodogs to explore tftc

Easy find with Pazzabella, in the rain. Nice wee park! Logbook is still wet. Tftc

Couldn't find and one of the kids stepped in poo. So it was a short visit. Boo to the poo

This one had me a bit puzzled as I was looking around all the placed that matched the hint. Ended up finding it where I looked the first time. TFTC

Found cache in place sight. Logbook soaked. Needs maintenance. TNLN.
