I am 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 Uncle BrianThis 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.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

North Island Campervan trip Day 4

After the fantastic holiday I had a few months ago traveling around the South Island, making the most of one of those incredibly cheap campervan deals available at the time, I figured it was worth taking a week off work before the stresses of the usual holiday period to enjoy some of the delights to be found around the top of the North Island.

This would be a great chance for me to seek out some targeted caches such as the TMGT ones as well as some that would help me with my Jasmer grid, missing minutes (for a couple of challenge caches I'm working on) and any other caches that caught my eye.

Today was the day I was picking the camper up, and my intention was to make my way over to the Coromandel and end up in Whitianga for the night. But as I actually arrived early for hire place, I thought I could use the time by walking around the corner to the nearest cache which was this one.

This was a quick and easy find at GZ. There were no issues at all with this cache or the log, which was signed and replaced before I was back on my way again.

Thanks for setting this cache up.

Out for an adventure, we decided to stop and get a couple of caches on the way. What trying to look normal, we quickly find the cache, and signed the log. TFTC

Working nearby, so came over here at lunchtime. The place looked perfect for a cache, a quick look confirmed it was right there. Wandered over the road to sign, then returned to its hiding place. All good here. TFTC

Visited Mount Roskill area today. The plan was to do some shopping in oriental store and to do some caching before the rain. Managed to find a few nice placements. This one was one of them.

No problems at all at GZ. SL , RAF, T4TC

Managed to park right near GZ and thankfully it was quiet as I located the cache.

Endlich konnten fazzyOne und ich heute vom Sky Tower springen. Das Wetter war deutlich besser als am letzten Tag, sodass dem Sprung von 192 m Höhe nichts mehr im Wege stand. Das war ein großer Spaß! Big Grin Aber zuvor suchten wir noch ein paar Dosen in Auckland auf, da wir ja leider auf gepackten Koffern saßen, weil es weiter nach Australien geht. Big Grin Diese Dose konnten wir nach einiger Suche finden. Big Grin

Tag der Abreise und zuvor Tag des Absprungs. Da ich jetzt loggen kann, heißt das wohl, dass wir es überlebt haben. Am schlimmsten war die Fahrt im Fahrstuhl mit dem Glasboden. Naja den Cache haben wir anschließend dann gefunden. Eine faszinierende Umgebung hier. Smile

A quick little cache here, and nothing compared to the affair at the new cache down the road. We parked at the quiet establishment, I cross the road, pulled the cache out from the obvious spot, signed in, and returned to the comfort of the car. TFTC!

Lunch time outing to to get our daily fix. Need to travel further afield now to find a cache that is suitable to do while wearing office work clothes. No mud and bush around here. In fact it was so easy I did not even need a GPS or smart phone, just the satellite image on my work computer. Container bigger than expected. TFTC Smile

A quick park up in early morning rush hour. I had to have my back to all the traffic in order to keep the cache retrieval unobvious from passing traffic. Having most of the day off work today due to unforeseen circumstances.

Nice easy find after attending the Anzac parade down the road. Was nice and quiet at GZ due to Gilmours being closed. Found quickly by geogirl. TFTC
 
16-Apr-16
Had a difficult time the last time I looked for this one, with the gps all over the shop and being under the watchful eye of a security guard and lots of muggles. Today the less than perfect weather for muggles was great for an unimpeded second go at this one. Today I was led straight to it and having just done a very, very similar hide in the last couple of days I knew exactly where to look. All good. Some balloons had gone in a bad way after I'm guessing a summer so removed their gooey, rubbery mess and dropped a tiny toy. Log is dry, pencil is there so all is well. TFTC.
 
24-Mar-16
After two DNFs in the park we dropped the geodog off and headed for what looked to be a gimme by the description to recharge the confidence. Alas muggles were having a confab in their front yard and by the time they were done we had piqued the interest of a seriously underworked security guard. She took a doughnut break (I'm guessing she takes a lot of doughnut breaks) and we had a good look but had to bail when she returned. A cache that looked like it should have been an easy grab was anything but.

#10538. It was appropriate to find a cache of this name while on the way to the supermarket. TFTC.
 
27-Dec-15
I had solved over 160 Auckland puzzles ready for our trip north, so today we decided to concentrate on looking for the nearby ones, and hopefully turn them into smiles, but with mixed success.
After a morning of caching, we headed to the supermarket for supplies and this just happened to be en route! Took the cache name too literally and parked in the Cash'n Carry car park then realised it was not hidden there. There weren't many cars in the car park, so we weren't taking a park from a customer of the business. A quick find then off to the supermarket. Didn't spot a TB in the cache.
TFTC.

Found it while waiting for car to be serviced.
Been a hard time to get it out of its location without being seen, as the gardener kept walking back and forth with his weedeater all the time..
