Time to Archive

As this hasn't been found for over a year (with several people logging their searches), and the CO does not appear to have responded to a Needs Maintenance log, it's time for this one to be removed from play and the area to be released.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Had a good look but no cache found.

Given the stream of DNF's on this one - well time for the Owner to check up on this one.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

All the trees lots of good spots but found nothing.

Hunted for this one yesterday, but couldn't find it anywhere in the tree. Based on the purported difficulty level, it's possibly not there?

I didnt find this one. I think the cache has been taken by muggles the last find was on the 7th of december 2016

This one was confusing. It sounds like the given coordinates and GZ are different places thus it should be a mystery or multi cache not a traditional. Searched GZ found nothing.

Had a look as we were passing as others have said, found something to which I suspect the cache was once attached, but no luck today.

Sorry another DNF. Two sets of caching eyes hunted about a number of the trees. We found a discarded (empty) beer bottle up a tree, one of those painted stones and a hook which could have been used to hang the cache off but no cache.
No luck on the find today but the park did look quite neat and tidy. One to return to in the future. Cheers

No joy here despite checking all the obvious spots.

Disappointed DNF

Yes, there’s more than one tree to choose from. Spent some time looking in the most obvious tree. Didn’t find anything there, other than an empty can, or in any of the other trees. Actually there was an empty bottle in one of the other trees but no cache! Gave up after 10-12 minutes.

Sorry for the late log but we found this on the way home from our mana island trip

The gps was off so we ended up searching about 4 trees. Park was empty on windy evening. Tftc

10.15am. No trouble and a quick find.
Thank you. David.

Tftg very cold day so park was empty

Junior catchers ran straight for this one. Tftc

Lovely area to come to. Nice cache to find. All in good order. TFTC

First find easy for the kids on to the nexted one.

That was a great little hide. Quickly logged and heading home as nearly dark and wanna be all tucked up and fed before the all All Bkacks thrash Ireland tonight. tftc

Tftc

Nice camo lovely little park tftc

Thanks for the cache!

First find in Levin. Thanks for your efforts.

Since I was back in the region for a couple of weeks I decided a big day caching was on order. Calls were made and plans were put in place and Jesso22, Stardust 718 and I set off in my new 4WD to collect a heap of caches. The first cache was collect at 7am and last one just before 7pm. The final numbers came to just of 150 so a productive day was had.

[ * * * * Thanks for the cache * * * * ]

For months we had been planning a 100+ day but the timing had just never worked out for us. Now with Christmas and all of our summer activities behind us and AtomsNZ back in town it was the perfect time! AtomsNZ arrived at my house at 6.45am with Stardust718 in tow and off we went on our mission. The day was quite successful, started with a few solved puzzles then on to the KAS trail and the mint tin trails before squeezing in as many caches around Foxton, Levin and Shannon that all three of us hadn't previously found. Final total was just over 150 (just to be on the safe side in case we made a counting error). Most caches signed as AJS (or JAS depending on who signed it) to save room in the logs as some were quite full. Thanks to all of the COs it was a great day with many great finds.

# 1041: I joined forces with AtomsNZ and Jesso22 for a 14 hour caching day. Found at 4:25:00 p.m. The main goal was the KAS trail and however many more nearby caches we could find. Our total came out at just over 150 for the day so we were all pretty happy with that. Thanks to the many CO's that made this day possible. We had a great time travelling lots of back roads.

Log signed as AJS (our team name for the day).

Sorting out a few caches in Levin that none of us had found so this was on the list. No problems finding it here.

Found this one while on a holiday from our home in Whangamata. TFTC

Well this wasn't the type of hide we were expecting by what was written in the discription but found easy enough. Nice little park tftc

This cache was one of the many caches we found on our 6 day campervan journey from Tauranga to Lower Hutt via Waihi, Cambridge, New Plymouth and along the west coast to Wanganui and back to the Hutt. A mighty and enjoyable journey which took us to many great and iconic parts of the north island and of course some great geocaches. Many thanks to the many CO's for the great cache placements and for bringing us to so many new places. Sorry about the generic log but 200 plus to log. TFTC

Cool little container and great hiding place. Was an easy find thanks

Well hidden, had to wait for a cocky to stop spraying his fields next door TFTC

This was my first geocache thank you!

Nice quick find. Cool cache and hiding place.

My first find of the New Year! Yay! Nobody about today (too much New Years cheer perhaps?) so it was a quick find after a short search...and the Geodogs loved the park, thanx

Excellent placement.

Hahaha Tftc! I like it a lot!

#1107. Another cache in Levin before we continue north. Arrived at the park and saw where the cache was likely to be. Headed that way and was surprised there was really only one option. Maybe there was more cover here in the past for Robin Hood. He would be a bit exposed hiding in these woods today. Spied the nicely hidden cache and soon had the logbook in hand, signed and returned. No muggles around today on a cool winters morning. TFTC

Took a bit of time to find this one.. snecky snecky

Nice little park tucked away amongst the homes. TFTC

2nd time of looking. GPS again all over the place, but soon settled down sufficiently to locate cache.

TFTC

Lovely park good hide many thanks

1093 Quick find with Jax479 on our way back from Waitarere. TFTC

Up at Waitarere for the weekend to support a friend doing the half marathon. Time for a single cache only on the trip home. With metal-art.

Took a short walk to the park to find this one with Tmcnz.Cache is a bit more obvious now that the trees have had a trim.

Quick find whilst staying with the grandparents. Found with RubyDragonNZ

Nice quick find today while in the area. Poppy the GeoStaffy enjoyed her visit to the locally named "Dog Park" SL TFTC

We found a spot to sign, no cow pats today and we don’t mean the ones on the ground TFTC.

On our way south today.
Straightforward find on this one. Nifty hide, well secured.
Cache in order; log signed, then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Fast find, lots of work going on over the fence, and several of the trees around the cache site have been removed making the container a little more exposed. Log book full on front side, so had to sign the back.
May be a good idea to pop by and check on this hide. TFTC.

Quick find despite the GPS placing GZ out in the open equidistant from any likely spots. TFTC

Have been here in this nice little parkwith some geocacher friends in Oktober 2012 before starting with geocaching. Today this one was well hidden as it was, but was found in the end. TFTC!

Working in Levin and caching after work. Had a "pan of attack" for tonight's caching and this one fitted well in with that plan.

Nice quick walk to GZ and soon had cache in Hand.

TFTC

A quick find with LCBuilder on a day of caching in Levin/Otaki

Found rather quickly thanks for the cache

simple yet, for some strange reason, almost impossible, great find, TFTC!

headed out today trying to get to 1100 before the 5th having having planned a route last night, managed to do this on such a busy day more so on the state highway, I dont know how many times I was either trying to look like I was randomly talking on the phone while bent over looking for a cache, its very hard to be shady on that road, but managed it and I am sure I looked silly but hey its what caching can be about. came across some very well kept caches and some not so and only got 6 dnf on the 29 I was looking for, I added swag to all caches that had room and were in good nic, sorry about the copy and paste on the logs, as I was caching by myself I didnt take notes. thanks for the cache. - this was my first cache of the day

Tftc. Looked at wrong tree to start with but got there in the end.

There is a park here? No way - no local knowledge, wrong side, drive around to other side - why yes, there is a park here! The geo-child had a play on the swings while we quietly waited for the grass cutting farmer next door to move his mower down the far end of his paddock while we found, then re-hid the cache. Nicely hidden, thanks for putting one here.

Lots of trees cut down

Lucky they didnt cut your tree down

Visiting the inlaws in Levin; why not find a couple of geocaches while we're here! #6 find.

Tftc awsome. Well consealed

A nice easy find on my way through the area

TFTC

Took way longer than it should have!!! Found it in the end though TFTC

Not quite what I expected but I am a fan of these containers (I have one out myself), I'm not really a fan of these hides though. It was still quite a good second find for the day though!

Alas no luck this time. Had to leave before the sun disappeared

Trusted the GPS .... and found something like quite right. TFTC

Didn't take too long to spot the likely hide, but then needed to find the actual cache. Nicely done. And yet another nice little park around Levin.

TFTC!

Try as we might, this one was a DNF.
Wondered if this one has been "Muggled" as there was evidence of general vandalism around the immediate area.
We checked any and every potential spot without success!

A day visiting Foxton and Levin with JonoS today. Started in rain which fortunately stopped managed to find quite a few with only three DNF.
This was one we didn't find. Lots of hide holes some with broken glass in the holes. Lots of litter around fence line so do wear shoes and watch kids and dogs with all the glass. Think it's been muggled .great spot though.

16.40 - Visiting from Cairns. Here in beautiful God's end and on a round trip from Wellington around the East Cape. Found this little beauty along my route. +/-0. T4TC

Took a while to find this one. Thanks for showing us this park. DId with Wandering Dragons, Violet Butterfly, Mycro Man and Astro Hunter

Did with CrystalFairy

Found today with Wandering Dragons and friends. Thanks!

Cache # 16

Found today along with the usual suspects. Thank you!

Cache # 589

Cache # 1,561 - a bit of searching, mostly in the wrong type of foliage, but eventually nailed this one. Did with Crystal Fairy, Violet Butterfly, MycroMan and Astro Hunter. Thanks for a great hide!

Visiting a friend who lives next to this park so thought i would come over and grab this, but no luck today. Will have to try next time im over here.

Talked to my imaginary friend on the phone while a human muggle was playing with his four legged muggles. Once they left I looked in earnest and quickly came up with the goodies. TFTC

Don't own a GPS so it;s always trial and error- this time it was error!

Found with -tink- and matatuana

Found with -tink- and PaisynsMummy TFTC

Found it with matatuana & paisynsmummy! Hope any followers have long arms (or long sleeves)!

Looked a bit hard this 2nd time as co ordinates were change , seen a young muggle last time round said it was not there anymore , cache is up and going relocated from last time ,great hiding place from the muggles ,Thanks (Ronbu) for looking TFTC

I've just checked this and found it safe and sound at the currently posted coordinates (which are pretty accurate). This is the second time I've seen it recently. The previous occasion was about ten days ago when I decided to check its new location after previously finding it in its old spot. Not logged then as I did not consider it a new find.
I believe that the 'young muggle' was probably talking in terms of the old hide.

No joy for me here thus evening

Quick and easy find along with nightowl19 today
TFTC

Took a while to narrow down to GZ, but then I spied the cache. TFTC !

Nice camo. Found cache on a road trip to Auckland Mega with Rediguana. TFTC

Took a little hunting to find this one but HelloMrs did a great job of spring it!
Cheers Gav

Out for a walk today in-between rain showers and came across this lovely little park. The ground was sodden underfoot and I ended up a little muddy, but I found my way to the GZ easily enough. A neighbour's dog took umbrage that I was there searching, but luckily he didn't attract any muggles. Found easily enough, signed and returned to its place. Thanks for the fun.

Easy find once you know what you are looking for. Hopefully not for muggles. TFTC.

At long last second time there and yes Found it .
TFTC Well Hidden.

Went caching with Hubby and he found it. Good hide.

Coordinates changed from:
S 40° 36.654 E 175° 17.661

Coordinates changed to:
S 40° 36.649 E 175° 17.659

Distance from original: 31.6 feet or 9.6 meters.
As this has now been muggled 3 times, I decided that it was time to move the location of this cache and also adjust the size of the container.
This is now a camo bison tube and is still in the same park, and the new location is visible from the original location.
Be interesting to see how long this one lasts.

Log only and no room for TB's, GC's or swaps, sorry.

Took the nephews to the park & had fush n chups. Couldnt find it but hubby has just gone back out for another look
