The Helpers #3 (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By justmeg on 02-Nov-12. Waypoint GC3WDQ9

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

Hi justmeg

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. 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.

Regards

Had a good look but can’t find it

Took some time around this park this afternoon, there was nothing to be found around. As many geocacher reported they didn't find it easier, maybe CO could have a look or have it archived if it can't be replaced.

Ce géocacheur a signalé que la cache semble avoir disparu.

Hunted, searched and looked but no luck

Had a good look but found nothing.

Couldn’t find anything

Lots of dnfs ... missing?

Adding this one to our DNF list. No luck! Didn't spend a lot of time looking...

Nothing

Tried it, no luck

Couldn't find

I think I found the 'in between' but nothing there

Nach langem Suchen in den Büschen eine Box gefunden. Ein Zettel für den Log, haben wir reingegeben. Hatten leider nicht mehr dabei. Vielen Dank fürs Herführen und Legen.

Greetings Die_Asseln

DNF. Will have to come back when we’ve got more time.

No luck for us.

Quick find on a glorious sunny morning. Thanks for placing this.

Given the cache size, clue and GZ I had an idea of what I may have been looking for but came up empty. This was partly due to all the muggles passing by which kept interupting my search. I planned to return in the evening for another go, but got distracted elsewhere and never made it back.

Assume it was in heavy bush but there was so much rubbish and bottles . So pretty hard to find right object.
Oh well.

a wonderful holiday with 2 friends in NZ - thanks for all the great caches we found here

No luck for me here either.

Be helpful to know what kind of container. No luck

We found this in three bits littering the garden. Not 100% sure where it was meant to be but have tried putting it back where the coordinates say it should be. TFTC

Nice easy find. Thanks!

I found it buried which is a first for me; I honestly thougt I was picking up rubbish but there you go. I did not have a pen so I can’t sign it. TFTC!

Not what we thought we were looking for but coordinates were spot on. Found it quickly despite our concerns given all the DNFs. Didn’t understand the hint. TFTC

Nope, couldn't find it!!

I thought I found it, but it turned out it was just empty bottles and a discarded keycard holder..

Gave up at 17:21

ISAG

Tried my luck with this one but i too came up empty handed...might need checking on again?

Ltf

I'm going to log this as a note rather than a DNF as I see it was replaced a few days ago and I'm sure the CO doesn't want to know getting messages for maintenance. I searched in the bush as much as I could, there's heaps of rubbish and it's hard to get in there, so I may have missed it. Also searched bench, garden bed, all the screws in the wall (yes I know it’s a micro not a nano) and the garden bed across the path. It just wasn't revealing itself to me today.

Nope

Replaced cache for CO, will inform

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found 2 likely locations but no joy for us today Quite a few DNF's before us too. Maybe CO would like to check it is still there?

I couldn’t find, is it still here?

Tried the obvious spots. Not going to look any longer, due to the previous posts

no luck,thanks

DNF.

We just don't know where this cache is. We waited for a muggle to move, then finally they moved.then we saw something we thought was it, but no luck today.

Group of 5 spent 15 min looking couldn’t find anything. Maybe we need to find the other ones first

.

DNF

Done

Didn't find it today

There has been roadworks when trying to approach. So I took a photo for to not endanger the cache. Thanks for hiding!

Found 16 April 2018 medium

Came by after playing mini golf, nice cache

Found

This was a nice start to a big geocaching day of 9 finds over 4 cache types. Took a long time to find this one. It was funny though that I found a credit card that had been lost, which is now safely in anz. I would imagined that the card had been cancelled by now. Find #427

Fast find at the park. TFTC from Norway

Today we travelled from Reefton to Charleston, then Arthurs Pass and at last we came to Christchurch. We found some caches during the drive, and then a couple in chch in the evening. Tftc

Quick find! Tftc

Quick find on a sunny day. Tftc

Quick find on a beautiful afternoon tftc

Nice hide. All good here. Grabbed while passing. TFTC

Wanted to grab this one yesterday but there were a few muggles sitting right on it. Today was better! Tftc

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find... perfect! TFTC

Ignore the clue. Thanks from Canada

Quick find. Someone has replaced the log interesting little park. TFTC

On our journey through Neeseeland we visited many beautiful places,
Again, we could register in the logbook. Thanks for the care and best regards from Germany from the team stierwade

At night you can find a lot of drugs here....

Found and signed log while visiting the monument, touring NZ from Australia.. TFTC

I'ive started my beautiful trip of the South Island in Christchurch, I've visited many beautiful locations. I've travelled via Lake Tapeko, from Dunedin to the most southern part of Bluff. I've then continued with a cruise in Milford Sound and then back to Queenstown.
From there on I've visited Wanaka and the Haast pass to the Franz Josef glacier. I went all the way up to the Abel Tasman NP. Richmond und Nelson as the sonnierst cities were on my list as well.
I've soon reached the east coast in Picton and Blenheim.
After a couple of days, I've then travelled back to Christchurch via Kaikoura.
I've spent a couple of days in Christchurch and it's surroundings.
I've visited many geological sites and have found many caches along the way.
I've travelled 3500km and have experienced so much.
Thank you to all the owners
Team sissifalke

Log is full. Nice hide. Thanks!

Sunday city geocaching. Thanks for the hide. Log full needs replacement.

TFTC

On our way to answer the Virtual we also collected this one on our Geocaching world trip ...

I came for the virtual and profit to find this one.
Easy find
TFTC
PS : Logbook is completely full, the cache needs a new one

A quick find in the first place we looked. Interesting site. Have a favourite point. Out caching with Will of the Wisp on our “round the world” trip to celebrate retirement. TFTC.

Took a rest and found it easily.

We almost gave up! The clue is rubbish!

Found it

Tftc

Ps log full

This was my second of four smilies in Christchurch while ashore from the Norwegian Jewel. I had less than four hours to sight-see and geocache, so I probably didn’t do justice to either. I tried, though. Thanks for an easy find once I quit over-thinking the hint. The memorial park was lovely.

Nice quick find in the first place we looked. Getting hot now after yesterday’s cold snap! TFTC

Easy find

Nice spot for a rest. Needs new log

A quick find as we spent a few hours walking around the area getting the nearby virtual and looking around. A lot of work going on, and much left to do. TFTC

Found with VikingNav today while exploring the area on foot. Thanks for cache! Log was signed. >^..^

Hot seat here today! TFTC

Great idea for a series of caches.

In CHCH for a girls weekend. Located the container during our stroll around the city centre. Left TB. TFTC

Last day of our vacation in NZ. We had a great time and lots of sunny and warm days – or perfect clouds for pictures and outdoor activity. But today, the weather really gives us the feeling, that it is time to go. After a few caches on the way, here are our last caches along in Christchurch.
I had a look at the descriptions the night before, but was not sure whether mmmmike and me will really find our way along this street to our hotel. But we made it and I was really interested in seeing this place. So, after regarding the statue, we also picked this one.
The hint helped a lot to collect the box without further investigation that might be interesting for muggles.
Thanks to all owners providing us quite some special sights.

Found this one on my evening walk. TFTC!!

We are on a road trip around the south of the South Island. Today we spent the day caching around Christchurch. We found this one after we did the nearby virtual cache. TFTC.

Tftc

Finding this one is all about the right angle tftc

Tftgc

Dropped by this cache while looking for the memorial. I guess this two were meant to be done together. Looked at the wrong level at first, but quickly spotted the cache when I had to right angle. TFTC!

Found with Goldielover and brucewwnz. Beautiful spot here It seems helpers are every where. We had to make use of some in Brisbane in the floods of 2011 they called them the mud army. We had only logged a cache for them not long before our visit here. Isn't it great to have so many kind people out there.
TFTC

Found with stairman1. We were heading to the South Island of New Zealand to do the Routeburn track but a broken ankle put a spanner in that plan . So we are now travelling around caching instead. All good here.

The virtual cache was the reason I was here today with Queensland cachers, stairman1 and goldielover. While here, we discovered this one was very close by. It was stairman1 who quickly tracked down the treasure.

Due to some reasons I had to stay for 6 days in Christchurch. In the end I was happy for this opportunity, started to like the city and had a lot of time for searching some caches.

Thank you to all the owner for hiding. Had a lot of fun! Sorry for the standard log, but I can't remember them in Detail.

Wish you all the best.

My first in Christchurch after returning the rental car at the nearby Hertz

Down from Northland for the weekend for a wedding, so once that formality was ticked off, what else to do, but to go look for some caches.

The virtual at the firefighter's memorial was a must do and with this one being so close, just had to try for this as well. With the good hint, cache was soon found and log signed, despite the less than savoury smell in the immediate area. TFTC
