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 casa del hince

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

Out for nice walk in Kinloch. Found this cache in such a peaceful spot. TFTC

Found it. Good hiding place.TFTC

Easy find, thanks!

Nice and easy find

easy find but not by water

Find this cash in the forest with Ian and Georg

Great!

Really enjoyed the mature open forest and clean stream.

I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.

Today the target is seven. A nice walk in the bush along a rippling stream.

Cheers for the cache.

Lovely track, quick find. TFTC.

Only notepad left, added an Easter egg for good measure 16/04/2017

Gorgeous bush walk.

GORGEOUS BUSH WALK;

We were absolutely devoured by Mosquitoes here but it was such a lovely walk!!! Found about two months ago on 01/01/17. TFTC

Nice, quiet walk on rainy day. Hint + title really helped. Our last cache in Kinloch.

We had intended going fishing today but the wind had other ideas so we headed out of town to do some caching. Kinloch seemed like a good place to start especially since neither of us have ever been here.

Parked as close as we could. A lovely bush walk and nice little stream bubbling along. Mr S soon found the cache but there was no TB in it. Mrs S got mozzied. Little...b................s. Why do they always go for her.

Thanks casa del hince. We liberated your path tag to add to our collection.

Cool walk, wish we'd done it during the day though! TFTC

Split find

A lovely spot to pause on the start of our walk TFTC

Dropped a paththag. cheers from casa del hince TFTC

Easy enough when you come from the right direction

We carried on along the track to this cache. What a lovely peaceful area this is. We even spotted a small trout in the stream as we were signing the log. We left a TB for the next finder, TFTC!

Fond it two days ago forgot to log

Found it didn't have a pen so didn't log tftc

great walk today with miss 6 aroha and happy caching

A gorgeous day in Kinlock for a walk along the track. A lovely trail, saw a couple of trout heading up stream and a white fronted Heron. Quick find. Cheers.

Another cache I found about two years ago and didn't log. Great search for this one. The kids love it.Beautiful spot to sit a while.

Great hiding spot, lovely walk, thank you

Great hidding place

Great walking/biking track.

Great cache thanks kids loved the swaps

Took awhile to find but eventually got it. Nice spot !

Took a little while but it's such a cool tree nice spot guys

Down here for an adventure weekend with KiwiLeon, alpenmilch80 and 11hpg11 and found ourselves close by to this one. Wandered down to check it out after a relaxing stay in a nearby bach the night before. With four of us looking all over it was only a matter of time before we had it in hand. Cool spot to come to - TFTC

Out with Alpenmilch80, Evilno9 and 11hpg11 for a weekend in the Pureora's.
After spending the night in the in a local bach we went out to find all the caches in town before heading back home.
Nice walk.

After spending Friday night in the Waihaha Hut with the KiwiLeon, Evilno9 and 11hpg11 we decided to have some glambing for Saturday night. For that, we stayed at a local bach and ventured out in the morning to clear out the town. Enjoyed the walk to GZ and found the geocache at the second tree we checked. TFTC

A long weekend mission planned with some hardy Auckland cachers. We are heading to Waihaha Hut to stay a night and enjoy the Pureoras. Our team consisted of Alpenmilch80, Evilno9, Kiwileon, and myself. We signed our logs as Team Waihaha to save room in smaller logs.

After staying a cold, yet fun night in the Waihaha Hut, we chose the glamping option of a nice bach for saturday night. A great night at the bach, followed by some sore heads this morning. We decided to clean up Kinloch while we were here and the nice walks were great for the head!

Thought I knew where this one would be but no, I was wrong. Found it in the next tree! Thanks for bringing us here.

This has to be one of my favourite walks around Kinloch. Having geocache to find like this takes it to another level of fun. Thank you!

Nice walk and easy find. Drop travel bug KC9N58 - Monkey Do

Found it

Nice hide. Forgot pen though!

Found with niece and nephew

What a lovely walking track. Hopefully the locals make good use of it. TFTC

Nice easy ride to gz and simple find. Nice reserve. Tftc

Nice track. No longer a GC virgin!

Drove down towards Kinloch on our drive round Taupo and soon found this path and enjoyed a lovely walk. Another place we would never have found without geocaching. Once we got on the correct path it was a quick find. TFTC

Found it. Great condition. Easy find. Left toy plane.

Just a quick check up. All good apart from the rubbish left in the cache. cheers from casa del hince TFTC

Good find, little bit of work needed.

Nice crisp autumn day for a bit of cache finding.

Our first one! Cute spot- thanks

So easy to find and nice suroundings.

Cool stream.

6.15pm - Another dot day so thought we would go to Kinloch. Arrived just on dark and able to grab this one. Few muggles about still at this time. SLTFTC

Dot Day... The things we do to fill a space on the calendar matrix. Met up with Gap (of Fap and Gap) after work hours. Motored over to Taupo to hunt out a few caches.

The caches along this walkway have been on the radar for a while now. Gap drove as close as possible and we walked the short distance to this hide. It was very gloomy under tree cover, but the cache was quickly located and signed off. We were just about to return it when a large, barking dog appeared on the track. That was unexpected and caused the heart to skip a few beats... And his owner appeared soon after, apologising profusely for giving us a scare. TFTC.

Almost a cluster! Big Fuzzy spotted a trout in the river. After much discussion on whether to 'tickle' it, we decided against it ! Next problem was when Big Fuzzy chucked the cache, Little Fuzzy missed it and it ended up in the stream, floating past the trout! Thankfully Big Fuzzy has long arms and the cache was safely retrieved! Thank goodness for waterproof sistema's! TFTC.

3 from 3! Loved this walk and 3 good finds ☺ thanks team!

Great hide. Lovely stroll on a cloudy day. TFTC

Great cache!

Awesome spot. Left a few treasures to replenish stocks. Tftc

One of my first finds! Wasn't too hard. Gutted that there weren't any good items to take:(

I found it straight away. Not muggled just well hidden. Really enjoyed the walk.

I think its muggled again or i just used my boy eyes but after 3 hours searching i absolutely could not find it

Oh my gosh after ten circles we FOUND IT!

Found. What a beautiful ride

Lots of treasures in this one

Thanks found it very easy

Found with out any trouble after our disappointment at the waterwheel.
