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 stretch.kerr

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.

Unfortunately we couldn’t locate it. Was very wet underfoot.

DNF sadly second one for the day.

Dnf 18.02.23

DNF with leiusandkyla on 29oct

.

Checked every likely looking tree, could be gone or could have been just an unlucky day

This was my first geo caching experience, and it was a good one. The log was full so I used the Vodafone receipt that someone else had added to the cache to write my name in. There was no sign of the laminated sheet with the extra puzzle. Guess someone must have taken it. Cache is safely hidden again.

I found it

Great hiding spot for anyone having troubles finding my tip would be your gonna need to get on your hands and knees thank you for the find

Lovely to hear the kids playing at break time.
Log sheet is full so I left a temp bit of paper...cut from my Vodafone receipt!

Was in the area so stoped by for a quick grab with my friend. TFTC

Need more paper no space to write

Thanks for the cache. Safely re-hidden.

Great one for the kids! Thanks to the creator.

No pen, Tftgc

Really easy find

yea

nice easy cache

Cute little cache in a lovely part of pukekohe

Was in the area to meet with a potential new fur-friend but we were early so took the opportunity to stop here quickly.

As others noted the hint is a bit deceptive so it wasn’t as quick as I thought it would be. It is base of but not the usual base structure it’s more ‘rooty’.

Thanks for the cache.

Tiny little reserve . Six year old is on a role today and we found it nice a fast. Thanks.

Not in the obvious place but circling around soon spotted it
Allok here
Thank you!

Easy find interesting tiny park!

Easy enough find, though the hint isn’t very accurate

couldn’t find it

We circled the big one with no luck. Then widened the search & I saw a pill container lying on the ground a couple of metres from the tree. Yes it was the cache & not sure how it got there. Returned to a logical spot. Hope it doesn't go MIA again. Tftc

We went round and around the big one where the co-ordinates were pointing to...but no luck. Widened search and soon had cache in hand in the open. Placed back by the big one. TFTC

Thought I’d do some caching after dropping off some work to the Franklin arts festival. Bit daunted at first with my gps bouncing around and a number of large trees. As I got closer I spied an obvious wee cache that caught the sun. Thanks for this, it’s a lovely cool spot

Good easy find, tftc.

Hard to find could not see the cache

Found after a bit of scavenging around

Found it, reasonably easy. There is no puzzle though

Good spot did find it there was no puzzle for it was really good.

Found the container, but there was no log. That has now been fixed so all good to go.

Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Today we did a little cruising around to the Franklin area. Will this long hot summer never end?

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

With Karma Reprint. Gave it a new waterproof paper log. Tftc

Found pill bottle on ground in the open. Rehid.

There was nothing here

Nice easy find to tick off a dot day

Haha

Found it

Took a while but got it!

Cache was open and note had come out. Put it back and rehid

Ye ya 4th find EVER!

Good find

Nice spot

Nice day to be geocaching. School is off today, what better way to spend itgood hiding spot

Found it although couldn’t find puzzle

On the way to Waiuku for a ladies caching day and we decided to pick up a couple of extra caches along the way. We were with a previous finder who confirmed the cache was definitely missing. Knowing the CO no longer caches we dropped down a pill bottle in the obvious spot to keep this cache alive.

First day back at COVID Level2 lockdown so a plan was made for a ladies caching day with Merlot58, Supernannny and Nette1234. Once at gz we searched all the likely spots and came up empty handed. We were with a previous finder who confirmed the cache was no longer there, so we replaced the cache with a small pill bottle that we had with us in the place that best matched the hint. Hope the CO doesn't mind.

Girls day out in South Auckland. Thanks to my mates for the replacing this one. Great to keep it going.

I'm on a weekend roadtrip up to the big smoke to attend a mate's 50th party this evening so thought it would be a great opportunity to try to grab some caches in an area I have never visited before.

This would have been my first cache of the day, if only it had been there. There was a fairly obvious hiding location, with an appropriate stone in place, but nothing in the hole. I am wondering about the last finder though...

Aah no luck with this one today.

Is on my home

Our first cache was a success and managed to find it. Great hind spot. Had a blast.

Easy cute rocks to

Was most definitely at the base of the tree

Easy find, kids friendly. Thanks!

Easy find - left kids painted rocks behind also !

These are good hints.

Easy find. Paper has disintegrated though.

Great little spot to come, nice and easy to find

Much excitement when we found this one

Found as the sun was going down but hint was sufficient to find. Have to report the log is full but managed to sign over others! Thanks CO for the cache.

first one of the year

Piece of cake

TFTC...cool, quick find.

Easy find. I like the easy ones.

More paper Please. Log full.

Well hidden, kids enjoyed this one.

After criss crossing the countryside in search of crayola crayon caches, I had a bit of time and energy left to go and find a few more. I headed to Pukekohe for brunch and then went off in search of more caches. Interesting spot here. Found the cache after a short search. TFTC, Biggles.

We walked from the nearby Pioneer Playground cache to look for this one and were pleased to make a quick find. There were quite a few muggles out walking and we were surprised most of them opted to take the footpath beside the road rather than the more serene option through the reserve. But it gave us peace and quiet to find the cache so worked out well for us.
Nice area, thanks stretch.kerr for bringing us here.

Tftc

Pretty wet and the log is full but we found it!

Found it ya

Had to visit a Student Teacher at the school this morning and arrived a bit early. Perfect for finding my first cache in the Pukekohe area. Tftc

Decided to take a break from my studies and spend the day out caching. I offered to also take out my 2 nephews and niece along with me. We decided to head out to Pukekohe after picking up my nephew in Opaheke.

With school out, we parked in the drop-off zone to locate this cache. Didn't take the kids too long to spot this one. Log is now full.

Took a while, many branches on the floor that I had to move, smaller then I expected, got there in the end. TFTC!

Bring own paper and pen (log is full, I had no space to write my name...)

Nice and easy to find. TFTC.

There’re a huge number of mosquitos protecting this cache!!

On a little caching tour for Cache Carnival. Earning some sovenirs . Nice and easy find here. Found together with Pyphant and Green Kiwikids and signed as "Team Piraten". Tftc

Found on a little stroll for Cache Carnival. Nice and easy. Tftc

Nice hide. TFTC

I used the car parking waypoint (thankyou) and made my way along the path to this cache. Glad that GZ was away from the road. A quick find with no muggle worries.

TFTC

Found a pencil in the bush to sign the log

Thought we would call by and pick this one up on the way out of town. All good here. TFTC.

Good spot. Ez find. Thanks for cashe.

On a hunt for some caches around town, caching in the evening works in our favor with everywhere being quite and made for easy finds. Thanks for the placement and our first time being in this town.

While staying with some friends in Pukekohe I figured I'd go on a small excursion to clean up my map. I thought I was gonna be in a little trouble here as there has been some work in the area - but I got there in the end. Cheers stretch.kerr, TFTC

Easy find. Needs new log

GPS was bouncing for me here so started at wrong tree. When steady go the nice hide quick. TFTC

This poor cache, the whole area was covered with trimmings from other shrubbery so don't know if it was there or not. TFTC

Got it

Easy find

Quick find in the dark although like the previous finder I also got fooled by another container first.
TFTC

Almost got tricked by another container...quite a bit of rubbish around

Mr ABCDF4 was going to Pukekohe,so had to go.Great sunny day.
