Hi erninzThis 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

Looked around but didnt find a suitable rock could easily have washed away

A dnf for me today

Found lot's of rocks but no cache. Then spotted other dnf's so we join the list.

After seeing the previous dnf, we soon decided to give up on this one

I can't say I was particularly enthusiastic to search at GZ, Still, we stayed a while but in the end decided it was time to move on.

Maybe it has been washed away. Surprized how many caches survived the floods

Found it TFTC

I was out and about around Waimate and Timaru looking for some PWGT caches along with the new Natural Wonders of the World.

This was one with a Natural Wonder.

Cheers for the cache.

Quick park and grab what a lovely peaceful place

It was so fun. I walked this roadside every day to get the bus

What a deserted road today! Quick find, TFTC!!

Found on a nice drive in the area. Enjoying the caches

On a caching adventure. Tftc

Found

Told leroy0704 I’d pick him up to do some caching with us this morning... he has been itching to go out again but his parents have been a bit busy. The girls loved his company. Thought this one was a good one to start at for the day being the surname of the girls cousins. Leroy0704 found it first with ease. TFTC

TFTC - another quick find today.

20 April 2019 07:39. A Much appreciated easy find first thing this morning. Tftc, 6954

A DNF for me here. I turned over most of the rocks all to no avail.

Very tricky

A quick find after deviating off 7 mile road to sign the Top Hat series. Back on the road now and off to Kurow. Thanks for the cache.

Heading home from being away on business, TFTC.

Day 6 - of our epic adventure around amazing Oamaru. With Geofest17 and Danseys Pass and A2O bagged, we are off exploring Oamaru again.
We have relocated Zara back to Awamoko and still have some daylight after dinner, so lets go.
Tried Top Hat #3 but had to give up as getting too dark. With trusty torches, we were able to snag this one, on our way home, to Zara for some well earned ZZZ. Cheers

Last cache of the day - Taybeedragon and myself spent a while on Top Hat #3 getting nowehere, so it must be too dark to cache. Grabbed this one on the way home back to the domain.

Found this one as heading out to the highway.TFTC

Being the driver has its advantages at times especially with quicker younger ones in the car who have the cache in hand by the time anyone else is out of the car. Love these quick finds

Day 3 of our visit to the Geo Fest 2017 in nearby Oamaru looking out caches with good favorite ratings, given the limited time we have in the area.

Caching with NZTravellers, KeyLev, and UncleSamNZ, so signed in as SEAC17 to save space.

TFTC.

An afternoon of caching before the Geofest wrap-up. Found a few, missed a few, had a good time.

Greetings from an Auckland Cacher. Here with some of my crew for the “Almost Mega” event.

Day 3 of our trip.

Sorry for the generic logs. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache.

All logs signed as “Team SEAC”

Down at the Oamaru Geofest with Keylev, UncleSamNZ and Stik-a-Crane. Today was the day to attempt solved caches and some challenge caches that we qualified for in and around Oamaru. Even managed to look at a few trads and two Wherigo's today!

We signed the log as Team SEAC 17 to save log paper.

Thanks to all the CO that have placed and maintained their caches.

In the general area for the geofest. Today was a 'lazy' day with collecting some solved puzzles, high favourite caches and checking out the steampunk.

Thanks for the cache.

Visiting from Brisbane with Slow Puncture for the Oamaru Geofest, and we're seeing all the wonderful sights the South Island has to offer as we travel along. Day 2: After 1 night in Christchurch we rolled down the coast to Oamaru for the event, finding plenty of caches (and cachers ) along the way.

Thanks for the hunt **erninz**, this find makes #4262. Discover our TB

Saturday. Slow Puncture has teamed up with Orange Crew to make a Moreton Bay assault on the Oamaru Geofest. Day Two saw us travel from Christchurch to Oamaru.

This was the 11th of 49 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***erninz***, for showing us this place.

I was down in Otago for the long weekend to attend the Oamaru Geofest. After flying from Auckland to Dunedin this morning, driving up to Oamaru, then registering for the event, I then headed North to find a few caches. I stopped for this cache while driving along Seven Mile Road towards the TopHat Challenge Caches. Another quick find here, TFTC!

Visiting Oamaru for the Geofest and while here trying to find a variety of caches. Thank you to all the CO's who have placed caches both in town as well as the various rural areas we visited.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… Our journey to the bottom of the South Island has been almost two years in the planning. We were determined to make it to Oamaru Geofest. We decided to also factor in completing a couple of missions (JASMER and Virtual challenges), and the wheels started turning...

Day Five: Oamaru Geofest

We decided to spend our morning in the north, around the Top Hat series. There were so many hides in this area. Today was going to be about piling on numbers... Gap and I worked out a system that helped to move things along, and it great that most hides were in good order and in play. Most caches were quick finds... Another quick find here. TFTC.

Nice easy find. TFTC

TFTC nice quick find

TFTC nice quick find

We left Friendly Fielding on Thursday night flew into Christchurch stayed the night there then cached all the next day there eventually we headed towards Omaru for the first event of the weekend, next day headed to the Geofest event then it was time to start caching for the day until the next event which was a CITO event, we have met alot of new people so far and some we already knew which is always great to catch up once again always so much to talk about. This area is amazing so much to see and do and the Steampunk around is incredible a wonderful place to visit. Thank you for placing a cache here and bringing us to this area, signed the log and placed the cache back where we found it. TFTC

On my road trip to the Oamaru Geofest. Now that I’ve crossed the Waitaki it’s time start making a few finds.
Heading towards the Challenge caches and this one was on my way.

Plenty of rocks, but no cache

Thought I would head north from Dunedin to find the blue sky. Wow its so busy here today. Having a good day wondering the area.


All in good condition.

We are excited in NZ to be hosting a large event this year. For more information check out GC6M2V0 Oamaru Geofest 2017 (21-22 October), [click here](http://oamarugeofest2017.wixsite.com/geocachingevent)

Quick find with Tuitigger. Nice to be back in the area I grew up in

Found. Definitely not somewhere I wanna fall in. Thanks for bringing me here, lol.

Quick find TFTC found with heyhaynz. Log book full

Taking the opportunity to clean up some of the caches on the quieter roads.

3rd one we found after school today

Found it

Stopped here on a day drive to explore the region and find a few caches. Last cache of the day after dark by torchlight, found after a few minutes' searching. Signed log, TFTC

The second weekend of planned caching trips for Chelzea and I. This one started caching near Temuka and then on down to Timaru, Oamaru over Danseys Pass and then back to ChCh from Palmerston the next day. Long and winding trip in places but managed a good number of caches with only a few DNF's. Too many to remember in detail so sorry for the cut and paste logs but thanks to all the owners it was a great two days of searching new places for a good variety of caches.

Found on our way to Danseys Pass.tftc

On a mission around South Canterbury/North Otago. 114 found caches today. Thanks to all the CO's for their effort. Sorry about the cut and paste. TFTC.

Yucky spot!

The plan was hatched a few years ago now and it has been a standing weekend away with a few of us mad keen cachers. This trip was made up of Karma Reprint, Team_Gaters and me (TheWanglers). We couldn't use a previous anagram to sign the logs as one member was in Aussie. So we had to come up with another... Hmm, KiTT? We decided on KiTT but after signing the first few logs something KR mentioned took a while for me to sink in and I didn't really take on board until the next time I signed the log. "Hey, the double 'TT' looks like Pi!". Oh, that's what KR said! So we signed the log this trip as KaTT pronounced 'Kapai'! And the trip was kapai!!! We had an epic weekend starting with a detour to Peel Forrest for a few FTFs, stopped in Omaru, thrashed Dunedin and detoured to Port Charmers for a FTF and then back to Pleasant Point and Peel Forrest to finish off the weekend with more FTFs. We got home to our families at a respectable hour after clocking up just over 1100km!
We had a few milestones we really wanted to crack. My 4000th, TG's 5000th and KR's 10,000th. We cracked my and KR's goal and got really close for TG. It really is about the numbers. This trip was awesome as it has given me some ideas
Took us too long to spot the cache. Got it in the end.

Thanks for the cache.

Cache number 67 for todays total of 123
Cache 67 of my total of 288 for this epic trip!

Show weekend and a Road Trip to Dunedin with 'The Boys'....Karma Reprint & TheWanglers. Initially came up with the acronym KiTT but on seeing the TT looked like a Pi symbol we quickly changed to Ka(Pi) (ie. Kapai)....and a fantastic weekend it was. 3 days, 1100km, a heap of caches and great fun.
Only so many places it could be; even so, seemed to take an age to find it! Cheers.

Headed down south with C&D and 11HPG11 for the CHCH Mega as part of the HOAC team, and decided that a Mega road trip/Mega Mission was the right thing to do. After a great day caching from Dunedin to Omarama we manged to get a few hours sleep before the big day 2 started.

Day 2 was the start of a ambitious plan to try and find as many caches as possible in one day! To maximise our chances of a big number we decided a 24 hour caching day was the only way to go. What an epic day, and some great moments too. The rough idea was to cache from Omarama to Oamaru, and then head north towards Christchurch. A huge thanks to everyone for the cache placments, and I apologise for the copy and past logs.

Find #121 for the day.

This was the start of a MEGA caching weekend in the company of good caching friends. In the company of both HKCB & 11HPG11 this was going to be another memorable caching road trip for many reasons.

This is the mission that we had set ourselves up for several months back. It was HKCB's idea, I was just dumb enough to think it was a challenge and I'd be up for it, 11HPG11 was silly enough to come along for the ride once we confirmed a spare seat (Nova Lightening pulled out for family reasons).

We were going to try to beat the NZ one day record in New Zealand (it would have been easier with 4 people), so after 2.5hrs sleep after a good feed at Omarama we were ready to go. This was the one hundred and twentyith on what was to be an epic day with what amounted to 401 caches collected for the day and about 38 DNF's. We managed this with 10minutes to spare but by this time we were done for and still had to drive back to Kaiapoi. All in all an epic days caching with good friends and something I don't think any of us will repeat in a hurry.

All in all it was going to be a big day with a number of challenges, great sceanery, and of course great company. Fantastic driving along and up here as the landscape was so different from what we are used to back in the Waikato. One good thing about backroads being that we could continue our neferious activites without being disturbed by muggles.

Nice quick find here without any issues .
thanks for the placement , thanks for the cache

What a Mega Mission for a group of Hamilton Over Achievers! A great trip, a long time in the planning. I teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to grab a couple of caches while in Christchurch and surrounding areas for the 2015 Mega Event. We flew out from Auckland on Friday night and traveled to Dunedin in the dark of the night. Stopped for a few hours sleep before setting off to grab caches in the Otago area on Saturday before attempting a few more on Sunday and then arriving at the Mega on the Monday. An amazing, yet crazy road trip

When C&D mentioned a day with over 400 caches I should have turned and ran... instead I said yes, and here we are. 401 caches in 23 hours and 50 minutes. All done on about 2.5hr of sleep. It was hard work with only 3 of us and there were times that were hard and tiring but I still had a blast! An amazing experience that one has to be slightly crazy to even consider

Great hide, no problems here. Thanks for the placement

Good hide, needs a new log

#9 this had me stumped for a while very sneaky so fav for me
mission for the day was to put a lot of smilies on the lower waitaki back roads and maybe break my daily haul limit. lost count of the number of drinks cans I have picked up on my own cito

Dog found it first. Muddy footprints all through my car. Funny. Easy find

Found today with my caching buddy axlall. cheers for this one nice day for a spot of caching...wot!

Farmers baling in adjacent paddock but all good. TFTC.

Had a chuckle at the no swimming sign - wasn't tempted in the slightest. TFTC #6117
