### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
Perhaps it's time for the cache owner to make a visit to this cache as it would appear to be in need of owner intervention. I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.
Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )
**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.**
If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

Has not been found for some time- needs maintenance or confirmation that the cache is still in place.
Scanned the sign over and over - no luck with this one? Perhaps the sign has been replaced?
Picked up on the way home,

We come to the ashburton area every now and then to drop my sister at karate lessons, so while we waited we thought we would grab some caches, we parked in a nearby street and felt like walking to all the caches nearby, (we got 5 in total)
This was the first cache of the day, we got to the very accurate coordinates, sitting on 0.3 meters!!....we made the very easy NOT dodging the spider but minding the ants...we quickly signed the logbook and replaced the cache in it resting place..as i got back in to car i felt a sharp nip on my hand..ouch i said loudly (ok maybe not that exact word lol) it was pesky little ant that bit me...i told him to go pick on someone his own size
**Thanks moss boy for this cache**

Found with jon moff. About to give up and then saw the hiding spot. Great hide TFTC
In the area for Anzac and stopped in to make this find but after looking at hint and not making the find, widened the search and discoverered in the dirt on the ground near fence. Returned to the only magnetic place that spiders would hang out.
Thanks moss boy for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

A cheeky hide but for the seasoned cacher should only take a few mins. Proof of find in spoiler pic since no pen.
Decided to leave early for work and did a quick stop. Been here before and was determined it must be found. Recent logs helped the search. Now I can remove this from my watch list.
Awesome cache! Tftc
Awesome cache! Tftc
After a busy week I thought that I would just grab a few caches to relax. A quick find. TFTC.
Second time for this one. The hint is misleading. I just could not see how it can be. so I stepped back and went at it again and there it was. so for future cachers, replace the first letter in the hint. don't take the result literally since it would obviously be ridiculous but hopefully this will help without revealing too much
Very small cache. Magnet still works, log still has room (although it may be a little wet). If you're relying on the clue, you might have to broaden your horizons...

On the way home from work and I thought I should tackle an easy drive by. Stopped, stretched my legs and back into the peak traffic to make my way through the craziness thinking "what shall I make for dinner tonight" hopefully no spiders involved! ! TFTC
A fairly quick and easy drive by while we were in the area. Not quite where we expected, but we soon had it in hand. Luckily, no spiders in the way today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
In Melbourne today to go to a soccer match so dragged the hubby and geokids to a few caches first. A quick find. Takes so long to roll it back up though! Lol. Thanks for the cache
Found nice and quickly with the use of the hint and the name of the cache. Took longer to extract and replace the log, a very tight fit!
Thanks for the cache hide moss boy

This is very tiny, it wasn't on the sign when I found it but its magnet is still being used. O ring is gone and insides a swelling and rusting
A v lucky find after all the previous DNF- it is def there! A tiny little tacker! Tftc
Search the poles around but still failed furthermore there were too many muggles around. Will be back again
We looked high and low,over ever post behind the hedge but just could not find it. We did note that 2 of the signs that our GPS took us too look brand new so maybe it's not there. Or we just couldn't find it
Dee found this one - an expert of this container type! Unfortunately the log was really jammed in tight, and wet, and about to disintegrate. So I pulled it out and replaced it with a new one for future finders. Thanks moss_boy, we didn't go insane looking for this one.
God nanos are fun! Pulled at my ear a bit and did the earring trick in case a muggle was watching from a car, is a rather busy area. The log was a little wet which made it hard to get in and out (even with tweezers). Well done on your first hide, it was a good one!
Out and about with geobuddy joeyjoejoe81 for a night hunt before the rain sets in tftc. Not easy to find the hints not 100% helpful not a nice cache
Found by Julius Pompei on 9/4/15.
Interesting cache. Looked in the spot but was looking for something much bigger. Had to get help from a mate. Don't think caches should be that small or the size should be specified in the description

Driven past this cache hundreds. If not thousands of times. Today I stopped determined to gain a smilie. Took me a while on both sides of the hedge and everywhere else possible, then in a moment of sanity there it was. Different! TFTC, it was a challenge and deserves a favourite.
Wasn't the biggest fan of the location with a busy road. Had the wrong idea of where the cache may be and then once given up on that, ryanofoz and I found it quickly. Challenge was then to get the log out!
Found quickly but the log was just mashed up paper. I replaced the log (though I must admit I've never done running repairs on a cache, being new to this. So if the CO wants I will hang onto the old logs even though they are pretty much illegible), TFTC.
Suscoe's 11th find of 29 for today as we wandered around the Eastern suburbs.
It was a wet start to the day but the rain turned to drizzle and then it stopped with a heavy sky and no sun for the day.
Not many folks out walking today with the weather the way it was.
Took a little while and then Mrs. S spotted it as she often does!
Thanks to moss boy.

Nice one, i looked here a few months back with no joy, looked all around it that time, this time almost walked straight up to it
Arriving at the scene, we had to wait for a drunk muggle to finish his public urination...in the middle of the day.
At GZ we found the cache easily but there REALLY isn't anymore room on the log.
found with megwilson.

TFTC, well hidden, I saw it very first but had mistaken it with some metal screw. I looked at it again later and realised it was the cache. COOL HIDE
TFTC ! Next person there is no room to sign log keep that in mind.
Only managed to sign half my name

Apologies to the lady who sprinted into her home after seeing two cachers in thick coats hanging around her street corner. We were just looking for small containers hidden by strangers... Dnf, thought we should skiddadle before we upset other members of the public...
Mr OZ in NZ came here a few days ago and did not find the cache but today, whilst out with OZWalker and Mrs OZ in NZ, the eagle eye of Mrs OZ in NZ found the cache immediately. TFTC
We found it but we don't think it was where it was supposed to be hidden :/ the hint says that it was on the pole, but we found it in the dirt...
So when we had signed it we put it back in the pole which was dug into the ground (sorry we weren't sure which pole it was supposed to be on, that was the closest pole to where we found it)
Apart from that the cache itself was fantastic and we really enjoyed accidentally finding it on the ground haha Hope you can find it moss boy and return it to its original place if we hadn't done so when we tried to return it Thanks!

Thanks!I think this was our third visit to gz. As we drive up I remembered this and sighed deeply. However on this visit my spider senses tingled and I uncovered this hide. Can't believe we missed this one so many times. Tftc tnln sl
Find 1145 at 23:44. I was out caching with Burge, Scarecrow_01 and Spartacus Al tonight. This was find number 7 of 13. I think this was about the third time visiting this cache and we finally managed to make a find. It's good to cross this one off the map!
Thanks for the cache, moss boy!
Thanks for the cache, moss boy!
A quick stop on my way home needing a cache today. A brief search after looking in places I clearly didn't need to. Tftc
#66 Last chance to find some caches before the end of the school holidays. Quick and easy find. TFTC moss boy.
Wasent expecting its aperence but still liked it
Future finders beware of muggles
