The Cave (Bay of Plenty) Pyes Pa, North Island, New Zealand

As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Has been disabled for a very long time so this cache probably needs to go.

Hi. We were passing GZ, and stopped to have a bit of a hunt for the cache. We strongly suspect it's still there, but we couldn't remember exactly where it was hidden.
One of our Trackables is in the cache, so could you please visit GZ so that the cache can be enabled. We'd be most disappointed if this were to be the end of our trackable's journey, as we're sure it's still there, on the wall, somewhere. The rabbit hole is still there, but we do remember from last time, that that was not the location of the cache. Perhaps recent searchers are finding the rabbit hole, and not widening their search? Many thanks, Lion Fish.

gone, shame as it was a neat spot.

Muggled :'( my guess would be the owners of the house nearby as the recent landscape work would suggest. I am planning a more exciting cache which should be good to go in a couple weeks.

Had a good look here today on the way back from a meeting further up the road. Found the cave but no cache, so hope it hasn't gone missing!

Oh darn, forgot to log this. I actually found this a few months ago while working in the area, but got no idea when, so today is as good as any to log. <8))))>

Cool cave. I found cache while M stayed in car. Only one other car went past. I think this deserves a favourite and we left a travel bug as well.

TFTC! got my torch and called down the dark hole for Alice to come join me for a tea party alas she must have been with Mad Hatter. Now look at that a treasure to the side. Collected travel coin will take this to another location soon.

All set for Alice to join Arabelle and I for a tea party alas no show, we did find the treasure though. Shone the torch down the hole, it looked a long way down TFTC!!

found it. undercover location. few cars went passed, wondering what we were up to parked right there.

Right here, right now! Amazing - wonder what's inside around the corner...

Cool cave
Thanks team

Cool cache - cool cave!! Dropped off travelbug (coin).

Safely extracted the cache before the cave dweller spotted us TFTC.

Had to wonder if that wsa the hole that Alice fell into at the start of all her adventures, was just expecting the Cheshire cat to make an appearance on the nearby Wall.
Quickly located this little guy early in the morning before having meetings in the nearby industrial area.

What an unusual hole. No idea how you found it.
Thanks

TFTC

Not to far from home, easy find and good view!

A very little cave indeed.

had a mouthful of crackers when we got out of the car, managed to find and sign log before finishing my mouthful, glad it was a nice shady spot, it was a scorcher out there today

Quick easy find

Anyone home .. home .... ..home ..... hom..... ho.....

That's a deep hole! Nice hide, wish I had read all the instructions, it would have made finding the cache easier!

Cheers and TFTC

Second day of a trip up north finding some geocaches.

Another nice sunny day.

Good find. SL TFTC

Great Cache
Thank you

After a day with a few too many dnf's, we enjoyed this one at an interesting place. Thanks.

great saturday afternoon of caching - nice little find - thanks

The home owner arrived home just as we retrieved the cache, we thought she would know about it, but she didn't. She had seen someone there a few days before and wondered what they were doing. So we told her all about Geocaching and hopefully she may take up the challenge.

Left a swappable and looked down the cave, oooohhhh spooky. Wondered how far it went. TFTC.

It was pleasant here in the shade of the pongas today; TFTC.

Mr Motorhead quickly jumped out of the car and retrieved this one!

a good hiding place! careful with dogs or young kids as the cars sped along very fast

Nice cache thank you. TNLNSL.

Nice quick find thanks. TNLNSL.

TFTC nice easy find. ??

Thought it was going to be harder to find than it was. Owners came out of the driveway as we arrived, which made us feel a bit more comfortable searching. In: TB. Happy New Year. TFTC

A nice simple geocache. Cheers

#3591. A bit different than expected. Nice hide.

Surprised by this one. Thought cache was lost for sure but closer look showed all was well. Busy road so parked a way away from cache to be safe.....and took lots of pretend photos as cars whizzed by . Thanks for the cache.

On our way back from Sanctuary park....couldn't leave this, so went for a look.
The owners just arrived in the car and asked if I needed help. Hmmm it was a bit uncomfortable.
Maybe to write on the cachepage: NO NEED TO GO ON PRIVATE LAND.
Rating is a bit high.

2/1/13 @5.35pm - easy find. SLTFTC

Well done on your first cache - sneaky hide - I too wonder what the owners of the house down the driveway think about people loitering around their gate - hope too many cachers don't pull stones out of wall - parked further up road for safety TFTC

Inside the cave was nice and dry, which is more than I can say about me on this wet morning leading up to Christmas. Cache found exactly where described. Congratulations on your first placement. Now its back in to town to finish off the shopping. TNLN TFTC

On a mission today. Need a few cache finds to reach my first thousand.

This was an easy find despite the threatening rain. Parked on the drive and took just a little too long to move off. The householder came down to collect papers and mail. He didn't seem too concerned, so probably knew what I was up to. Left 2 TBs suitable for the terrain. TFTC.

Quick easy find although i did get out the compass to double check where East was. Thankyou.

Easy find. Tftc

Quick find whil in town to see my surgeon just down the road. No cars passing , Good day to be out caching. TFTC

Hi mickl-missa I was amazed by nzsammy's find too. I think it was because of the munzee clues that it was found.

Found.
But I have a question - How can someone find a cache before it's been published.

Published

FTF, Thanks, if it wasn't for the Munzee and a bit of Sherlock Holmes on my part i might have missed this.


My Son Codi was happy with the FTF and he enjoyed his balloon. TFTH, TFTF, TFTM
