As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi Anastriel

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,

Not found for 6 months
String of dnfs
CO not active for 12 weeks it seems

We tried to find this one after school but no luck

No luck...lovely little strip...

Can owner please check on this there is no sign of it at GZ and there have been several DNFs recently and no finds.

Several DNFs. Please check

Pouring with rain, we didn t want to spend too much time but we couldn t see anything

From reading the logs I was certain I knew what I was looking for, No luck today though

Three sets of eyes looking but couldn't find it which was a shame as with so many favourites it must be good.

Couldn't find the cache, searched for approximately 5 minutes with muggle Derolan. Curiously found a couple of places/things that appeared cache related, no log book or anything though. Will private message the owner.

Looked for AGES, speculated on the grossness possibilities and put my hands in places I deeply regret but found nothing. Lovely part though and a lot of fun hunting.

What a cool cache. Thanks

Replaced the camo, same type but slightly smaller version, and a slightly bigger log so should have less issues in the future with the log getting stuck.

Great cache in another beautiful part of Auckland that is new to me. Needs new log book still

Found this on a detoured way to work this morning, loved the cache. Log still needs replacing

Found it! Logbook needs replacement. Cool cache.

Bahahahahaha. Love the cache. My friend was a little creeped out. Log is full needs replacing.

What can I say, just great!!!

First I was "shocked" for a second Haha

Logbook really full cannot sign, picture of logbook for evidence....

TFTC

No problems here, aside from a full logbook. Squeezed our name in a bit of space left. No sign of anyone else in the reserve today. I had the whole place to myself. An interesting container TFTC

Took longer than it should have to find lol cool cache tftc

My phone GPS couldn't even get me close to the park this morning so was resigning myself to searching ever tree as really wanted this for my Road Trip. Wonderful camo that gave me a fright when I saw it. Was only on my fourth tree before finding. Love it. Great to find a cache not like any I have seen before.

Have signed up for the Geocaching Road Trip '15 and the first cache we needed was one with more than 10 fav points. I have looked at this one a few times but don't often get out this way so phoned Move Star to see if she would like to come along and off we went. Not long to the geo location and quickly had the cache in hand . . . . . . not before I looked and frowned and then touched and looked and WOW - great container idea!!
TFTC and bringing us to a nice little park tucked away.

Nice easy find, just a quick one today with SethRaven, love the container attachment. TFTC

I stopped on the way to the pi event to grab this one. Even with the right tool, I couldn't get the log out. TFTC.

Yes, this gets a fave, mainly because my GC buddy wouldn't touch it. hehe TFTC

I thought I found it, but it creeped me out and didn't want to touch it just in case. Fortunately my geobuddy was happy to go hands in lol. (I would have used a stick eventually!) tftc

We ventured out at night to find a couple of caches, and this one stunned us the most! TFTC

Awesome camo! Didn't write names though

So clever!

Our 2nd day in NZ and we headed out to find some more caches. We got off to a slow start but we still managed 33 finds. Most caches were found quickly with a couple that took a few minutes to find. The logbook needs replacing so we couldn't sign it. We have taken a photo if you need proof of us finding it TFTC

TFTC - easy find on the way to a Foo Fighters concert

Found it but couldn't write in the log good hunt though! Tftc

Took a bit of finding. Brilliant!

Superb. Reading the logs gave me the courage I needed!

EWWW was sure I found it but didn't want to touch it...lol ohh well what the heck ..yaay it is the cache, took a wile to work out the correct tree as gps was a bit off, TFTC, Fav

Very clever but log was to wet to remove and sign. Thanks for the awesome cache hunt!!

GPS goes bonkers, and took a while to find the right tree. After reading the logs I knew I was looking for something odd, and voila! Quickly found. Log was wet/very difficult to get out. Out of fear of ripping it, I left it in place. Thank you!

Found this WAY back at the beginning of the year but forgot to log.TFTC

I now understand why this cache has so many favourites!!!
GPS bounced around under the trees, but still managed to find this clever camoed cache. The tricky part was extracting the log to sign it. TFTC

Nice. Not so easy this one haha my daughter freaked out when we found it!!!

We enjoyed this cache, making us squirm initially. TFTC

GPS got a bit jumpy under the trees, but found it eventually. Thanks for the cache.

Excellent camo! Enjoyed having a hunt around for this one I had some gloves on me and donned them after reading some of the logs. Not essential, but made it easier for me to bring myself to fetch the cache after I spotted it

Nice camouflage!

Hilarious, thank you . No tweezers so couldn't write in the log. I'll return with some in the future.

Recently turned Premium, so I'm now dishing out favourite points to the caches that I've enjoyed the most. Very creative and had me going for a while (two visits required!)

Had to read other peoples finds to get some clues. Kids wouldn't touch it when they found it haha. TFTC this is a good one.

This was a most hilarious cache !!! Phone led me to it ...but when I spotted it I didn't want to touch it ! TFTC

Had to pick up a rental and discovered that this cache is close by. Cache provided to be an easy find. TFTC

Took a little while to find, but scared the girlfriend quite a bit when we did! Hahahahah! TFTC!

My mini geocacher found this without any trouble and though he tells me he thought twice about touching it he happily did before I had even made it to the tree Log signed, looks like we were not the first here today. Fun cache, thanks Anastriel.

As you said it is looking a bit worse for wear and I did wonder if it was in the right place, looks like it could be muggled by small muggles.

Wow.. amazing camo.. looked in wrong tree to start with until molly nearly freaked out when she saw it.. tricky getting log out even with tweezers but got there in the end.. a favorite for me.. tftc

Hehehe loved the camo...... Freaked out the girls.... Well done Molly for finding it:)..... TFTC

Found and logged. Looking like a pirate.

Another unknown park in a part of town we never venture into. GREAT camo! Found by miss NZtraveller again! Extraction of log proved to be the most difficult part of this find. TFTC!

Had to widen search a little.
Aha what is this ???????. TFTC.

Loved the camo job here. From previous logs I was looking out for something out of the ordinary.

Cheers for the cache.

I've been meaning to find this one for a long time now. In the area after work this evening so thought i'd better finalise this one at long last. Parked on Maroat Rd and made the short walk to GZ. Cache found after a short search as the GPS had me at the wrong tree at first. I had a hunch as to what i was looking for and as soon as i saw it, i knew i had it. Very nicely done and great placement. Signed log and returned and yet another well deserved favourite point added! TFTC!

Got a bit of a fright finding this cache! Clever but a little creepy : P

Found after a brief search, and what a scary surprise when we did! Amazing - and very unusual camou! Couldn't sign logbook as it was squashed in tight and wouldn't budge despite trying really hard! SL. TFTC

Went out for a quick cache with my mini-cacher, after a bit of looking found this, my son was not so sure about picking it up though . TFTC

We had to visit this area today to pick up a purchase, so dropped in to pick up a cache while here. A nice little park and we appreciated having the shade while we found and logged the cache. Thanks.

A nice easy find on a good day out

TFTC

Tyftc

Weren't sure what to look for but all became clear once spotted. Nicely done. Tftc

At last! This location is a short detour from my bike ride home, so I have stopped in about 5 times over the last 6 weeks and searched high and low. I worked out from the logs what I probably should be looking for...anyway today I thought I'd give it another try seeing as the cache had just been maintained and found it very quickly. Nice. Thanks.

Checked up and sure enough the cache was out in the open again, only this time it looked like a dog has chewed it. The logbook was completely gone. I replaced the logbook and returned the cache to its place but it's looking a little worse for wear. I'm going to see if I can fix it properly soon.

No luck on our first one of the day. Had a good hunt around and found some interesting things, but no sign of a cache.

Man iv been seaching for an hour now lol, so bad at this. Looked in all trees around every nook an cranny In the trees ,looked up hints on google. Even found a statue of budda. Is it still here?

Replaced logbook. Had a hard time finding the cache myself as it was lying out on the ground but luckily undamaged.

Thanks for the heads up, I will visit the cache in the next couple of days to replace the log. It lasted longer than I thought it would!

My very first cache in New Zealand. Took me a little while to find. Nice idea. Now the logbook is completely filled and needs to be exchanged. I luckily found a small area to put the name in.
Thank you very much for the cache.

Creepy... Thanks tho. Oh needs a new log.

Nice quiet park, located the cache after a short search, a second look and a smile. Great camo, we haven't found one like this before. TFTC! Gets a fav point from us too.

I came with an idea! I was wrong. Had me going for a while but I got there in the end. Thats a tail to tell. Thanks for the effort even if I was late picking my daughter up from soccer, and a fav from me as well.

2nd attempt, no muggles today thanks to the weather, did not take too long to spot the cache, had to think twice before retrieving it as I heard my mothers voice telling me to never touch these. Awesome camo, put a big smile on my face, just what I needed on a grey Monday. Cache number 12 for the 31 days of caching challenge! Fav point too! TFTC

Muggles, sure they are supposed to be at school or something! Will try another day.

I had the park to myself this afternoon. I had a couple of ideas as to what I might be looking for and after dismissing one of them I soon spotted what I was looking for. The second time I've found one hidden like this, this year. TFTC

After being to a seminair at ASB playgrounds, was this cache a magnet. With so many favourite points a must do....But there were youngsters on the grass.
I was hoping that they would leave, but they were watching me and then I hear them talking about me...so I just left.
I certainly want to come back for this one.

Wow. Was just about to give up. Had to google the hint. Got a bit of a fright when I found the cache

Gets a favourite point from me as well

A great hide. Deserves a fav point. tftc

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We spent a while looking for what we thought the cache might be, but got a bit of a surprise when we spotted something completely different that turned out to be the cache! A cool hide, thanks for the cache! Favourite point added!

Took a litle bit to spot the cache, a neat idea, TFTC.

Took a while to find as I had assumed the cache to be something quite different. Was so impressed with the camo that I took a picture of it. Definitely a favourite point from me. TFTC.

Even having a much better idea of what i was looking for this time, it still took me a few minutes to spot this one. A really great job done here. No space for my stamp, so here it is: CREWE ALEXANDRA SUPPORTER!

Knew exactly what I was looking for here. Was exactly wrong. Spent ages searching. nothing. Have gone through some logs and have a much better idea of what I'm after next time. How embarrassing, being the only DNF. I'll be back!

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life tftc

#416 The last successful cache for the day as the light was fading. Brilliant cache and what a wonderful little reserve. Thanks for bringing me here!

Awesome catch! Gave us a fright when we saw it!

Found as my cache for the day when searching after nightfall with my headlamp. Took about 10 minutes searching about but instantly knew I'd found the cache when I saw it!

Thanks!

After reading previous logs was prepared for something unusual, but felt uneasy about touching the cache camo when I spotted it. The caching determination to sign a log clicked in and I got over it. Such an original and clever disguise.

Great camo, I walked right past it at first and was looking for something else! Cheers, nice and shady here.

Nice camp! Quick find, TFTC

At first a bit shocked by the camo, but then the endorphins came again when we saw the container.
Thanks for the good hide!
