As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 14 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

I popped up near this cache after walking up from the Chelsea Sugar Factory, as this was not to far away I thought I would give it ago, despite the previous DNF's. I waited for the muggles waiting for the bus to go and then searched again. The 2nd time here and the 2nd DNF. I am pretty sure this has been muggled. Can the cache owner please check on this.
Can the CO please check this cache out? I checked yesterday and couldn't find it either (I've found this cache before so knew exactly where to look, and it's not present) and discovered there are also 4 DNF's below this log...
DNF 22:36
No muggles, no dogs, no barks, no cache.
Either it is somewhere deep or it is not there anymore, IMO.

There was a muggle in the park behind the seat by the road, so we had to be surreptitious about searching. The hint was pretty specific but no cache was found. Maybe there was another seat near the muggle?
There from three. Thanks for the find. Need a bit of maintenance. Log is full and damp.
Had a day available to go caching on the North Shore, so decided to go to the dog show. I hadn't quite realised how much those dogs like jumping UP and DOWN. Excellent days exercise. Thanks.
My feet are sore! Detoured to this on our walk back to the car after an afternoon in the bush. Last of the day and pleased to immediately spy the right spot and find the cache. Nicely hidden but surprised by the DNFs
Walking back to the car after a long walk through the bush and this was on our way. Ellex2 quickly found it while I was reading all the dnf logs and saying it might not be here! TFTC
Found the spot that we thought it would be (and of course looked at a few others) but the cache was not to be seen by us today.
Thanks for bringing us here anyway.

No muggles about so a quick park and grab for us. Had to wait for a few drivers before replacing. Thank you.
Out for a day of caching with Goober24. Initially looked in the wrong rocks, but once the GPS had settled, Goober24 had it in hand quickly. TFTC
Out geocaching with Gwen-o-nator. Oop, there's another seat! lol. Quick find despite initially looking in the wrong place.
Last Dog for the day for us. Quick easy find once we got our GZ right- jumped to the wrong GZ! TFTC.
Today we had such a wonderful day of hiking and caching in this area! We just loved the way the residential area is surrounded by such wonderful natural habitat! A very great place for us to visit!
Thank you so much for showing!
Thank you so much for showing!
Used this awesome sunny Auckland day to clean up the north shore a little bit. Little Lunch break including a cache find. TFTC
Staright to the GZ. Took a little bit of careful fossicking to avoid drawing attention to ourselves
Found whilst doing the rest of the Chelsea dog show caches with Leo. Good fun trail, had never realised this park was here. All the caches were fairly easy to find, and this was no exception. Coordinates spot on
Having flashbacks of going to work as I sit here looking for a cache. No, not on my precious weekends, please! Cheers for the cache.
Most difficult part was to find the right set of rocks.
Funny thing, we also saw the old guy taking care of his roses!

A quiet and beautiful day here today. Just need to sit and reach. A good park&grab. TFTC!
Found while admiring the neighborhood and watching the guy across the road tending his roses.
We made a super quick find here as the Mini Future Finder and I made our way back to the car. Spotted the cache immediately as it had partially fallen out of it's hidey hole. Took the opportunity for a little rest before continuing the walk back to the car. Cheers for the great walk!
Great hide we were looking in the wrong place at first but then found the right seat and found it
Quick find in this lovely neighborhood after our great walk in Kauri Centennial Park. TFTC
Found after our muddy expedition through Kauri Point Centennial Park today, after the rain.

Mum found this one - Mum and 8YO were keen to find this one before Dad did!
No muggles passing by at time of find, but we thought it could be a pretty busy place at times.
The boys watched with jaws close to the ground as a teenager skateboarded down the road (on the road) at great speed following the replacement... One of them ended up spotting him again about 5km away on our way home - obviously he had kept up the speed, as he had done well to get that far!

Could see it before figuring how to get it without destroying finger nails. Quite a clever hide. PINO TFTC
Nice hide.. Having a rest after carrying the pushbike through the bush #185, 2013-04-14 at 14:10, TFTC
Looked in the right place but didn't spot the first time! Checked again a bit more thoroughly and there it was! 2nd find in the Chelsea dog show series. TFTC

Were in the Chatswood Reserve and the Kauri Centennial Park today for some doggish caches. Walked a merry and decent 10 km in total. 
We had the cache in hand as soon as we approached GZ. However, a good hide. Thanks.

Another waitangi day find with the lovely wendythebean....she is getting much better at finding them.. Tftc
Argh...... Found it ...... But kiwisurveyor found it first while letting me think I had ........ Arghhhhhhhhhhh ...... Looking forward to when he's out of the country... So I can get some geo practice in......TFTC
Pulled the sick boy out of bed to go and find his daily cache - dodged a few of the heavy rain showers and made sure we found a nice quick easy one for the night. Thanks for the hide.
Well this was a challenge for me, not feeling so well after having an allergic reaction to something the night before. So this our daily cache was a bit harder, but we managed to come up with the goods. TFTC.
Good thing I read the hint as I started looking the wrong place. Finding a bus stop here is testament to Auckland's improving public transport system, so now the working dog does not need to drive!

Had driven past this one before, except some kids were playing in the street so came armed with lunch from new world and a valid excuse....no kids there this time. After lunch all done, we searched the GZ area and soon found cache, tftc
Found when out with Ric looking at a bike on trade me ! Nearly forgot to log !
Enjoying this great series with Tuis Return this morning. Great way to hang out in Auckland.
Really enjoying collecting this series with Butchie bum, shame time is tight and we won't get to finish it. TFTC
Quick find. Nice muggle free day.

Needed to wait for resident muggle to pass by before searching. Found, good clues. TFTC
Making the most of some nice weather, and wandered off with snakelion and evilno9 to find a few puppies.
Decided that as daylight was running out, it was time to head back to the car and leave the rest of the trail for another day. However as we were driving past here, it seemed only logical to stop and grab this one. Nice quick find, and we were back on our way. TFTC

Had started running out of daylight at this point so rather than carry on through the bush in the dark made the sensible decision to call it a day and come back and finish off the rest later. This one was too tempting to leave though so we swooped in for a quick drive by on the way home. Nice little spot. TFTC
