I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Hi skindoThis 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.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

Was successful with other caches in the area today. This has not had a successful find since early 2021. There are a lot of branches, rubble and debris at the likely spots, and I was not able to find anything. May be gone or buried?

My initial approach lacked hint objects.Tried the top side and noticed cut trees.Looked anyway, but no luck.Wondering if maintenance has moved it?

Bit too much bush whacking for me

J is for... junk! What a load of rubbish here. I searched all the likely spot but was weary about sticking my hand anywhere. This is not the sort of place I like to cache.

Out in Johnsonville today, quick find once I'd worked out the best way to get in behind the dense tangle of undergrowth. Cache contents in excellent condition, thanks justlooking00. Tftc!

Woo hoo a smiley to end my day!!

#1191. Having just DNF’d a Yeetrees mystery not too far away, our friend JustLookingOO suggested I replace my blue sad face with a yellow smiley. She had found it yesterday.

Coordinates seemed to waver about, and I walked past the cache twice, before GB Leader nabbed it. Cache has been refreshed by JustLookingOO, seeing skindo is no longer maintaining his hides. Perhaps he should adopt it out.

Tftc.

Nipped into bush to see if general gz was still trashed by human activity since my last visit. This time gz much cleaner, so happy to look around. First found a plastic rat bait station lying open with contents tipped out, well and trully gathering moss - close to gz. Then found a very dirty and wet cache/log as per hint. Took everything back to car for a clean and dry out. Log far too soggy to write on so replaced. TFTC.

Was a tricky one even though the clue was exactly were it was ahhaha

GZ has been turned into someones gardening/pruning dumping ground - - big time. Cache maybe be buried or muggled? An empty simesta container lying in plain site. Didnt go searching.

Found the bush (tick), found some rocks (tick), but no sign of a cache except a large empty plastic box which is unlikely to be the cache.

This was my second target cache in Johnsonville today. Wasn't exactly wearing the appropriate footwear for this one - but that's never stopped me before. Tipped a bit of water out of the cache but the log was good as gold. TFTC # 13,218

I have a meeting on the North Island that I need to head to so I came over the day before rather than risking the travel on the day option which is often fraught with the danger that thw Welly weather gods won't play the game and leave one stranded. So I made it over the ditch in good time to head up for a sociable Indian meal the evening before being planned in the days preceeding. With a little latitude for a couple of leg stretches on the way up to Bulls I targetted some quick stops that would also tick off some other targets.
First up a quick diversion up to here and grab the first one of three skindo letter caches for the day with their associated codes. I've been in the vicinity of this one before a few years ago, on that occasion I'd taken an adjacent road and was close, but not viable for an approach. Different story today with a GPS and phone combo approach and had some low double figures of metres to get to the prize. After a quick entry to the bush I sson had the cache in hand and all was good.

We are caching around Wellington today on the last leg of our journey to Mega, concentrating on picking up solved puzzles, but still with time for a few special other caches. Parked across the road and entered the area of GZ. Took a few minutes to locate the well hidden cache. Signed the log and recorded the information. Thanks.

There is a debate which child found it first....

??

Took a bit of finding but managed finally The temporary log is dry Then had to go back and get the code! Aargh! TFTC

Grabbed this while out and about, added a temporary log as current one is a 'bit' soggy. TFTC.

Found today with Glad-nz unfortunately unable to sign due to wet log and did not have a replacement. Took photo as proof for CO if required. TFTC

Found while in the area with Nz1.
Good placement but regret to advise log tooooo wet to sign.
TFTC Skindo

Note to CO, Needs a log replacement as too wet to sign.

Cool spot, tftc.

Starting to look for a few in Johnsonville.

Found after a bit of a search. About 6m away from GPS position. Log book damp but signable. TFTC

Found case - has been muffled

Muggle

Boohoo. Did not find. First on my walk from Johnsonville to Ngaio via Mt KauKau.

Quick find for oldest mini. Log very damp! Tftc

Jumped in my Juliet's jalopy and jogged out to J'ville. Jactitated in jungle until joyous, and jacked cache. Justifiably jotted BFG due to damp jotter.

Reasonably quick find but I did need the hint to expedite things. Log is not as dry as it could be making signing difficult but not impossible. TFTC.

Out today to get some A to Z caches yay we found this one its another one to tick off the list thank you for the lovely walk through the park we grabbed to code and headed off to find some more TFTC

No muggles around on this cold wet day. TFTC

I had to be in Johnsonville early today, and now there's a long queue of traffic into town. Rather than aggravate the traffic problem I grabbed a quick find. This is my second in the series - it may take a while to get the rest!

Nice wee spot
Cheers

Didn’t appear to be any neighbours about to see me following the geohound into the trees. Took a minute or two to decide which way to head. The GPSr seemed to hover around 6-7m from GZ, regardless of which direction I went. Decided that wasn’t much help and concentrated on finding items mentioned in hint. The cache was soon in hand! #1021. TFTC.

Quick find with moggy val and warfi thanks

Felt a bit obvious here- but didn't seem to be anyone taking any notice of us. tftc

Lucky it was a quiet day here, and a quick find, as we felt a bit conspicuous. tftc

It was crazy foggy up here today!! Trees offer good cover. First one of this series. Tftc

First find of the series. I'm looking forward to doing some more.

My first find in this series. A lovely summer night for a walk with the pooches. They are great cover for caches like this one! TFTC

Quick find today, slowly getting through the series. Tftc

Found this one. A neighbor was watching so I need to wait until he left.
Thanks for the cache.

This was a quick find this morning, all in good order. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find with Theosaurus. Code noted for our first find in this series. TFTC

Easy find with Mrs JY. No sign of the neighbours today

A quick find. I only have 3 left in the first level of the ABC series to find, although I think 2 of them are missing.
Thanks.

A quick find on the morning of Good Friday. Very quiet. All in good order.

TFTC.

#1613 After an indoor day of puzzle solving due to the less than desirable weather I decided to make a wee trip to J-ville to get a daily fix before the sun went down. This one was my first target as I'm -VERY- slowly chipping away at this series. No trouble with neighbours this evening thankfully and a quick find. TFTC!

Luckily saw no neighbour's today. Quick and quiet with the usual dog for cover. Tftc

Needed two visits for this one this afternoon as on arriving the first time children were playing on the grassed area over the road. So I went off to do another cache.
By the time I came back the coast appeared clear but..... after I had found the cache quickly and emerged a neighbour some distance away but whose house looks down at GZ called out to me sternly not to enter the (won't say to avoid spoilers) again and that he was watching me then slammed his door shut.
As I have signed the log and got the code I grinned to myself because I have no need to visit the area again!

However subsequent visitors need to be VERY careful, you are not committing any offence entering the area but the neighbour might report your "suspicious behaviour" to the authorities and/or the cache may get compromised.

Out with BigCheeseNZ. TFTC.

Yay - second of the series found! Only 5000km left to go!

Miss Wicm Jnr was in charge of the swag swaps. She found about a dozen cicada shells skins nearby - I guess we're lucky they didn't end up in the container!

GPS had me scrambling for a bit before I spotted the hide. Left a KitKat trackable and another one crossed off in the series. TFTC

TFTC

I turned few rocks before finding it. But easy to fund. Tftc

Nice quick find on an early morning walk. TFTC Cheers!

#213. Quick find by my sister who had never heard of geocaching 2 hours before and shook her head incredulously when we explained it to her. So what's the point she said? A question asked by many I guess. Anyway she tagged along to see what it was about and of course found the cache! TFTC

A nice quick find while in the area. But poo, I forgot to get the code off the side! Will have to call in again next time i'm in the area. TFTC.

Found with Trina.

This one has been on radar for a while being relatively close to home. Going for a run this evening in the wind and quickly discovered. TB's have been stuck here for a couple of months so took to move on. Code recovered. Still quite a lot of this series to go. TFTC.

Nice quick find, thanks

This time I managed to collect the whole code which is more than I did last week with Y so no revisit will be required here! TFTC.

Out and about for an afternoon of caching with tmann421. Quick easy find and then onto the next one. TFTC skindo

Nice to be able to find cache and sign log away from prying eyes. tftc

nice quick find thanks!:)

#491 first of this series. Probably going to take a while.

Slowly completing this series. Nice to tick off another one. TFTC

Nice quick find after the Winter Solstice event today. Cache in good condition.
Extra info recorded.

TFTC!

TFTC

Another code collected, I might have to do some revisiting as I'm sure some of the collected alphabet has gone missing! Tftc

All good. Tftc.

Out and about in town picking up a few caches

Tftc

Found with Greenslime. TFTC

A quick find at lunchtime. TFTC

Quick drive by in the rain TFTC

Day 8 of 31 days of Geocaching. Quick park and Grab for a horribly rainy day Waited until after collecting the kids from school to attempt this cache as the weather had cleared a bit by then. Jimdawg finally got a Rattll rock (a 'dawg' too!). First in this series, but I'm sure many more will follow, TFTC

TFTC

I found a Rattll pet rock dog! TFTC

A quick duck in and grab - fortunately only one (obvious) neighbour out gardening who turned his back at a convenient moment. TFTC.

Must have looked like I was tending to a call of nature to the guy in the delivery van across the way... Lol but another one ticked off

Few people around but managed to sneak in and grab it...TFTC

Find #88 of the 100 day challenge. Grabbed in the dark, so thanks for the excellent clue- I didn't fancy a long search in the cold!

11545… A quick find of J @ Johnsonville, many thanks.

Last cache for us for this trip. Now to do some calculating.
Left a pet rock - can't remember what though!
