Got Gravel? (Southland) Wreys Bush, South Island, New Zealand

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 the last reviewer note.

Hi bladesedge

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.

Searched under entire bridge. Nothing to find today.

??

Stopped in to find this cache but the gates were padlocked closed. Didn't feel I should go any further

My 3rd DNF for the day.

Had a good poke around. Even poked a bird out of its nest. But no joy here. .

Thursday 5 November. Wintons wherigo is on the radar today also visited Foresthill. Time to go exploring Toby!

On the return of our day trip to TeAnau, Kiscardi and I picked up a few caches on the back roads. This was left for another time as there were a few muggle workers eyes on me at the nearby plant. Kiscardi was wanting this cache as well, as a previous attempt at a find proved fruitless. After a bit of a hunt the cache was spied and log signed by both, gotcha! smiles all around tftc

Great to grab a smile here today after a tedious search previously . This was quickly found today .
Having a semi business trip to Te Anau with Wombats 4 and pleased to change a number of greens to yellow smiles .

Finally a find after many visits.Tftp c

Quick find, appropriate place!

On my way back from market at ohai so thought to grab some en route
Saw it instantly

Couldn’t find it

Sunday, a good day to go and get this one without prying eyes or vehicles zipping around, the clues helped lots and had the cache in a couple of minutes. I took the last spot on the log so will need a new on now TFTC MATM

We were on route in Motorhome with our cat Coco. Could park easy so stopped. We both spent a long time here searching the gravel but no luck. Didn't want to give up, but had to admit failure sorry.

Quick and easy find, cache in good order. TFTC

Wasn't sure if we were allowed here but at 6.30pm it was deserted. Had read previous logs and realised it could be difficult.
Viv found it, and wasn't too surprised to see that the last 'finder' hadn't signed anything, which makes it a *resuscitator* for us. Have seen similar like it, but this is an excellent example.

Found it! Took a minute before I realised it was under my nose the entire time!

Had a real good look without finding gravel. Must have been too well camoed. Have to try another time.

The gravel guy told me to move on and then I found myself on the wrong side of the bridge I’ll just have to come back another day.

great hide almost had me stumped

Called by with other cachers. All good.

A quick stop and grab on my way home from QT great hide tftc no gravel to day

Quick park and grab. Managed not to hit my head oon the bridge!!

Tftc

I had already studied the area but decided to follow nephew further under. But niece spotted it and was very excited a the first of this kind for her. Signed, also as GAA... Gabby, Alex and Angus.

Found with three nieces and nephews. They loved this one and pretending to be trolls under the bridge! TFTC

#4104. Day 2 of the southern adventure. Have flown south to attend a conference at Te Anau over Queens Birthday weekend and we stopped for the night in Invercargill. Plan is to do some caching on the days before and after the conference. Now heading north to Te Anau. We parked nearby and I wandered down to the bridge. The guy in the gravel truck nearby gave me a quizzical look as I headed under the bridge. But he soon drove off. Well I searched in all the usual places without any success. My muggle friend then joined me and we checked some other places. I then spotted a place that I hadn't looked under so far and there was a nicely camoed cache. My muggle friend was most impressed. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for hiding the cache here bladesedge. Favourite for a nicely hidden cache.

So simple yet tricky. I found it rather quickly after almost deciding that it was a lot cause.

Tricky. Well done

Out for a drive with the little woman. I slipped going down into the hide and grabbed the concrete to steady myself. Starting to find a few of these.SL tftc

Had a search around but couldn't locate it.

Guwapo, Mama and Papa on a road trip with Woody. Quick find!

Good cam.
TFTC

Dot day find are getting further from home! This one is 16km from home.
Overshot while in the car, but coming back the other way put me on the correct side of the road. Headed to GZ and studied the area for a bit. Hmm, that one is a little bit different from the others, could it be? Yep. So a quick find, just a few vehicles rumbling overhead and only one at the muggle HQ nearby.
Cache is dry.
Thanks for the smilie on a dot day.

Great cache- very well blended in

found it yay fun day tftc

First time i have seen one of these. We must have walked past twice! TFTC

we found it good day for a couple of caches on way home from invers tftc clever

After a little search I soon had this clever wee cache in hand tftc!!

After looking on the wrong side of the bridge finally found it Tftc

We walked straight past it

Tftc!! Hard to find at night very camouflage

45 mins looking found it in the dark

Bit tricky but got there in the end

Looked at this a couple of times before we got it.

Bloody clever hide. Nice spot on a beaut day

Great cache

Yes, they have some gravel in stock. GZ seemed to be the other side so we stuck with the hint and after a couple of minutes made the find of a clever camo. TFTC

Tftc

TFTC a quick grab travelling back from Manapouri.

That had me bamboozled for a bit.. had to look under the under...? Great hide

Tftc - my first find. Yahoo.

Great hide. Thanks

A pleasant quick stop and a clever hide thanks for the cache

Replaced log while out cache with Gypsyrose58

Yep a wee bit damp. TFTC

Finally found it. We were moving a bit more rocks than was necessary! Will add a photo which anyone frustrated and near to giving up can look at - spoiler though so don't look if you want to find without big clue.

On our deep south holiday, we traveled down to Invercargill today to catch up with family and for Kiwibaby and Kiwijade to meet this side of my family for the first time. Luckily I did get some caches on the way to keep the streak going as the weather was absolutely horrible in Invercargill and got none in the end down there. Found the cache pretty fast after having another look at the hint. The log was really damp and in need of a new one but able to get my signature on a piece of paper in there. Very cool camod cache. Enjoy finding ones like this. Able to get in and out without any muggle problems either. Thanks for the cache

Found after a brief hunt. Log sopping and needs replacing.

Sneaky hide. I think I was a bit lucky to find this one without too much of a search. I'd just got to the point where I thought I better go back to the car to get the GPS and check the clue again. Thanks for placing this. A favourite point from me!

Parked at gz while Jrb5050 jumped out and quickly had this one in hand, I marveled at her quickness and efficiency at getting this obviously tricky hide TFTC

Yes we spotted the gravel and the cache after a wee while TFTC

tftc

Found but logbook is a papermash. No chance to sign it so we put a piece of paper in the container.

Dnf

Another wet log. Once again took photo as couldn't sign log book TFTC

Another one of your caches that is soaked and needs maintenance

Log soaked

Been past/over this site numerous times over the past 30 years and know how busy this site normally is. So today being a normal public holiday, was a good opportunity to visit. An easy rocky find but log too wet to sign in on. HOTA

Nice wee hide tftc

Log is completely soaked. Must have been some really high rivers levels for that. Was not able to sign.

TFTC, pigeons under the bridge scared the hell out of us

Found by ma monsta - once she read hint correctly and got into the right area

Sneaky, sneaky. The flintstones would be proud

Yeah I too don't like being under the bridge but cool cache on way home from Te Anau!

I do not enjoy being under. But good to find a different cache. TFTC

Had we noted the cache owner we would have found it a bit sooner. Thanks Bladesedge, always interesting cache containers.

Great day for geocaching, we had an awesome day did 27 all up, our best day ever. TFTC.

Found

A nice quick find on our way back to Invercargill to get a few more southern caches.

Lots of gravel indeed! Quick find by Moneydork. Cheers Gav

Sitting in the shade of the bridge was a nice respite from the gorgeous sun we're not used to. Quickly found, the logbook is slightly damp but it'll survive. TFTC

Found at 8:32 AM GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern. We thought that we were going to be in trouble with the many hiding possibilities, but it turned out to be a lot simpler. Lots of noise around as well.
Thanks bladesedge

11:35
Traveling in company with Pprass. The operations at the nearby stone works were going full bore, so no one noticed us scratching around in the gravel. Neat cache which we've given a favorite tick to for its novelty.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt bladesedge.
