No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

has been listed as missing by a previous finder who has contacted CO, also have asked for maintenance....but to no avail

listed as missing, would really love to finish the opaheke circuit, will this be replaced?

Checked this for owner after one of my caches went missing after last cacher [?], I can also report this has also gone missing after last log [?], have notified owner,

We are currently attempting our longest streak yet, and once we finally had a chance to get out and find a cache today it was after 9 pm. With 2 children with us we needed a quick and easy cache on our way home to fill our streak day. We have been watching this cache for a long time, noticed it had been missing for most of the time we have been caching, and that it had now been replaced - we were saving it for a day like today. A nice quick find with darthcacher1 and purply.

Cool

3 cars loads plenty of cachers 1 hide go figure who was in the race to find and rehide to let the others find it again. Was a quick stop and finf now off to kirks bush. Tftc

Perfect day for a quick park & grab. Nice little hide, good hint. Met up with a group which made things even easier. Beautiful day for a cache-hunt! Thanks

Nice and quick find after caching in area with group of crazy but fun cachers !

Out with a group of cachers today completing the nearby Orona Island cache. Once we had got back to the cars , hosed off, and changed out of our muddy clothes, we decided to go on to do a few more caches. This was one of those.
I phoned 3-girls, as we were in their hood, and they came and met up with us, joining the convoy line for a few caches. Some of our group had done this, so we pulled up right next to GZ, and jumped out of the cars to make a quick find.
TFTC!

In the area for a pot luck dinner and had arrived early so it seemed rude not to do a few caches before hand.

Had a hi viz vest in the car which we had used at a previous cache resulting in a dnf and was still wearing it. parked close to GZ and made the find quickly, signed the log and returned to its hiding spot and headed back to the car.

On the way tp Pukekohe for a bike ride. Unfortunately I missed the transfer connection at Papakura due to the train from Auckland being late. I made use of the spare hour to pick up some xaches near the station. TFTC.

Enjoyed that one , high muggle area for sure !

Was having withdrawal symptoms, as it had been nearly a week since finding a cache, so had to grab one today.... I try and keep a few local caches for emergencies and this was one of them...
I drive past this location many times a week, but as I had dropped the car at the garage decided to approach on foot... I found this approach much less obvious.... note to self.....

Quick find .

TFTC.

It's amazing. Not to hard to find. Rubbish has passed its smelly stage.

Heading north with a mission... Find caches that are listed as 'large' and 'not chosen' size-wise... With Gap (of Fap and Gap).

And back to the pre arranged list of caches to collect... This one was a quick find in an obvious place. We just had to work out on which end to look. TFTC.

Today's goal was to collect remaining caches that we needed to complete our GLCS07 Licence Challenge.

12.05pm - Able to park very near, no problem to find with hint given. SLTFTC

Found it, first geocache ever.

Just a gentle caching day today, not even double figures but a couple of earth caches and a few traditionals to balance things out. With mrs capperz heading to the airport later this arvo it was decided upon for a quick trip out to Muriwai for a look see, then to Botanical Gardens (too late in the season as it turns out) the to the airport. Much driving around seeing stuff and mostly not caching but plenty of fun.
Before airport run a chance to grab some southerly minute ccahes S36 degrees 2 minutes, 3 minutes and 4 minutes. This was one of another 3 unique caches I wanted towards a 400 minute Challenge cache I'm chasing.
Q E F here, signed and replaced, all good here

Was cute

Nice theme going on here...

#1

#365 - visiting some family in papakura. Good chance 2 get a few caches in. I looked 4 a little while then found a likely spot. Felt a little out in the open, luckily it wasn't 2 busy on a Saturday afternoon. Tftc

we almost gave up but then found it!! Thanks!!

Found quickly and easily and invisibly, bit like Darth Vader really, the force was calling me.

Cool hide!

Almost didn't find it.

Found with keylev and laval.

Thanks for the cache.

Found with keylev and cragger.

Thanks for the cache

Was in the area for a friends BBQ so it would have been rude not to arrive a little early and grab some local caches.

This was a nice quick find in an area we had not previously visited.

Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for replacing this cache! It was easier to find when it was actually there.

Nice to see this cache has been replaced! Found it after Miss F's swimming lesson this morning.

Found our first cache

So pleased to finally have this one. I had tried for it previously as part of the loop. Thank you for reinstating it.

Found, good to have it back

Enabling cache.

cache is replaced. It is now a magnetic key holder, which is not very secure. Please be very careful with it. I will put a nano back in plaxe whne I find one.

Note Reviewer, I sent you an email last night to this effect.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

No luck

Cool

No luck

Cannot find it

Quick look with my boys. No luck

Had a quick hunt but didn't find it.
Cheers Gav

Had a big hunt, had no luck. If its fallen off, the lawns have been recently mowed might've been moved around?

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 2. Another of several aches I could not find today. Thanks.

Found this morning.

The invisible force with this one is not very strong, found cache on the ground tried to reattach better but the force is definitely not strong with this one and will not stay long

Sorry, the magnet must have dropped out when I opened the cache. I didn't notice till I went to put the cache back and the it was no longer magnetic. I used a bit of tape for the meantime.

Thanks, quick find.

Nice quick find on this beautiful day. Doing some hunting on my lunch break

Cache log drenched. Have replaced it for you. If you want the original back please let me know.

Magnet needs glueing in. Sorry, didnt have my glue with me

A Good easy Quick Find, Log full & wet unable to sign, so sent photo to owner TFTC

Need a close quick find to keep up August hunt. Driven by numerous times but never stopped until today. Corrected the creep no back as clue suggests. Please note, needs new Log strip no room left and rather damp. TFTC.

Log is full and needs replacing.

Found this after a wee search but not found on the side indicated in the hint. It was still on the structure, perhaps there has been a bit of cache creep. Thanks!

I thought I looked extremely carefully but it was getting to the end of a long day.

Quick find. Log full and totally wet.

Pretty quick find. Needs new log. Full and soggy.

#1414, Found lying on the ground. Replaced underneath, hopefully magnet isn't failing. TFTC

Super easy find, saw it from the road. TFTC. Log is full.

Nice quick find, spotted it as we approached. Log book full but managed to squeeze it in a tiny space TFTC

people are nosy

A cool little cache

TFTC

Hadn't been this way for several years, so when Mrs Darby&Joan suggested a day out, I was more than willing.
Grabbing an Ice cream at nearby dairy, I noticed this cache very near so wonderd across the roundabout. It was so hot that I burnt my arm when first reaching over to search. In the end I had to give Lissa my Icecream to be able to use both arms to have a good search. TFTC

On a mission today with Helefant to find caches that fit our provisional licence requirements. We set off nice and early, to beat the heat of the day. On our return journey doing a few caches on the way to the motorway. Stopped at the nearby dairy for a much needed ice cream and cold drink. Decided we could wander to this one eating our ice creams. Took a moment to find. SL. TFTC.

Log book full added log to scrap of paper.

Great clue led me straight to the hiding spot no need for the gps on this one. But there is need for a new log the existing log if chocka, TFTC.

Great container. Managed to find a tiny space for my initials - log is really full! 35/365 TFTC

A good little series, found this one without issues.

TFTC

Log really full.

Nicely hidden - managed to grab it in a brief gap in the late Friday afternoon traffic. Log reeeeeally full. TFTC!

Log book full. Tftc

Needs new paper

Needs new paper

Needs new paper- we were the last to fill it up!

Great little cache! Not too hard, but lots of traffic all the time!

We couldn't find this one last time so we came back for another go and yes! We found it. Just before the school traffic. TFTC
Also, the log is full and needs replacing.

Lots of boy racer cars tearing around the roundabout just after I had nabbed the cache.
Many thanks

Thought we would have a go at some of this Opahake Loop caches, success with some and no so good with others. This was a nice easy one in the series. TFTC

Nearly didn't spot it as I was looking for something bigger. The cache is a nano not a micro. The log is now FULL. SL TFTC

No problems with this one, had ot in hand before Mr P had finished parking the car. t4tc

Quick find. Last on the loop today. TFTC

may be gone,to many mugglers about to search hardout

nice quick find as i start my slow journey home

Last of the series for me today. Looked in a couple of other places before the obvious - duh! TFTC #3506

I was in the area today finding a few caches in some bit of spare time before flying home to Nelson. This was the first of these loop caches I encountered on my travels. I did get to a few more before I was done. This was a goody and not quite what I expected. TFTC, Biggles.

Out with FMZ and Mikemiss tonight. Stopped here for a quick find as we were passing through. Cheers for the cache!

Quick find while in the area.

Found quickly. TFTC
