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.

Cache missing and CO hasn't been online since April 2016.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Parked up right beside GZ and gave it a good search, before the engineer pointed out that the power pole has been recently replaced after being 'skittled' along with half of the fence behind it.

Unfortunately it appears their has been an accident here recently and the power pole that contained this cache has been replaced with a brand new one, no sign of the cache anywhere

the power pole has been replaced, cache is missing

Quick find

Happy New Year

While passing by this way (we had come across from Highway 1) I just had to make a quick stop for a find to help remember this part of our trip with. A quick find after not noticing it on the first pass - SL. Really good 'camouflage'. Thanks to wasa & chec for the cache.

Enjoyed the find and the nice easy hint

Cache quickly found, log signed and replaced.

TFTC...quick find but a little chilly this morning.

#3993. The last day of my short visit to Auckland and closing in on 4000 finds. Decided a trip up north was in order to pick up a special cache. Just needed to find 14 other caches on the way. Parked close by and once I had worked out where the cache was hidden, made a snappy find. Signed the log and replaced where found. Thanks for the cache.

Again drove past this one when I was on the right side of the road, however very light traffic allowed me to cross the road for a quick find.

Found on our travels down the west coast. Thanks wasa & chec for another smiling face.

Heading north today with the intention to hike around somewhere; still mulling over the options. But, no reason to not stop along the way. I parked up next to GZ and executed a super quick find. Formalities completed, it was back on the road again. Cheers for the cache placement!

Today was another nice day for our holiday trip in new zealand were we of course also found some caches along the way.

Today we took a trip from kerikeri back to Auckland.

This is one of them. thank you for maintaining this cache.

Here in NZ with SwagHo vacationing,visiting and most importantly Geocaching from Vancouver island BC Canada. TFTC

Nice and kwik! And very creative therefore gets a fave point. Here on our last few days of holidays with HennyGeo from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada in scenic New Zealand TFTC

We are on our way from Auckland to the north. The landscape is very varied and the streets go up and down. Of course, we had to sign the one or the other cache, of course. A nice area.
Many thanks to the owner and many greetings from Germany the Moorhelmis

Nice stop in the middle of somewhere, plenty of traffic on the road but there is room to pull over safely here northbound so that is what we did. Interestingly someone else liked the idea too as two other cars also pulled over. Geocachers? No just wanted to have a chat about something (not to us, to each other). They were engrossed so we grabbed the cache and got it replaced while they were chatting. TFTC.

A nice quick find thanks.

Next part of the holiday, up to Whangarei and points North. Time to find a few little boxes.....

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Found while on drive to the very north of the island. A nice and easy cache and dash, with very easy nearby parking. TFTC TNLN SL

Good to find another cache on SH 16...Thanks for the placement

Out on a tiki tour of SH 16 to pick up some caches.

Out on a tiki tour. Quick stop in the middle of somewhere. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Smart one

Heading home from a long weekend this was available as a quick stop and grab. A straight forward find but the local farmer in his tractor doing a clean up was a bit suspicious of just what we might have been up to. Fortunately we were not there too long.

?

Great hint

Good job

Another tricky one

When I moved forward on my way northwards I suddently found myself in the middle of somewhere. What should I do? Well, just stop for a little while and pick up a little cache. And I was successfull.

Thanks a lot for the cache.

Very clever hide. Nice and easy park and grab. TFTC.

A very nicely hidden cache, thanx

Found during our holiday.
Easily found.

#10817. Stopped for another Kwik fix, and we were soon on our way. TFTC.

Today we are leaving Auckland after spending 3 weeks exploring and caching around the city and we are heading northwards, destination: Algies Bay.
StreetWalker was navigating, and he did very well here - got me to park the car about a metre from the cache! A real drive by, and a nice easy find too. TFTC.

On our way north for new years celebrations with friends at Atiu Creek Regional Park for a couple of days. As we decided to take the alternative route north through SH16, we also stopped to collect caches along the way! Had a lovely drive along here and found some really clever caches with some wonderful views. TFTC!

On our way to Atiu Creek Regional Park with Newlynnfam to meet other cachers for some camping. Stopped off along the way to do some caching.

Very crafty hide.

On way up north with UncleSamNZ to go camping over the New Year period with some of our caching buddies (Team SEAC). Turned out that we were way ahead of everyone else in terms of our ETA, so we decided to stop off to do some caching.

Cool hide.... luckily we had seen a few of these before, so knew what to look for!!!! Love these types of containers, though... thanks for the effort gone to!

Geocchi and I getting our fix now we are on holiday and heading for the hills. Signed as a team - GeoPaz. Tft well made cache!

A drive by on our way to Ruakaka TFTC

Heading back home (via a few caches) after a failed attempt at doing the Atiu power trail at the reserve due to heavy rain. it wasn't raining when I got here! Nice drive by to keep things kicking along!

(1590) Had time to target some road side caches on my way home from the mountain bike park. TFTC

Collecting a few local caches while in the area with tmann421.

A nice quick stop for us today. Cache in good order.

TFTC

Another great find on a short trip away with Just-Lookin.

Enjoyed the drive around

Passing so may as well have a quick stop.

Nice quick grab, tftc

Quick find. TFTC

After doing Mt Auck this is the last of my energy

Well, todays weather forecast was for rain, all day, and they got it right. Very right indeed. I don't know about a cache mobile, today a waka would have been more fitting or even an ark. Got enough piggies and puppies to exceed the two by two rule too.
Target for today was a couple of letterboxes, a few unique Southern minutes of degrees for a challenge cache I'm creeping ever closer to achieving and anything else that I decided to stop in the pouring rain to try and write and get every single drop of rain down my neck.
Onto the main business of the day. Head along the linking road up to Kaipara Road then back down SH1 via Warkworth and some other places.
Nice and easy here, replaced in colour matching side

Out today with a muggle friend to tramp up Mt Auckland. On my way back to the city I collected this one. TFTC

Nice and easy quick stop on way north ! Thanks wasa & chec !

Collecting a few on the way north. Tftc.

thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found on our way back to Auckland. We really enjoyed the many stops along our way. TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Just a quick stop and found it. Thank you

Quick found. Tftc

Another quick stop, we have slowly been working our way through these, so a couple more today. Waited for the cars to pass, before crossing to GZ. Oh where oh where can it be! Thanks again for the hide.

Home ward bound after a busy caching weekend with Rustynz, cache number 40 so far. Took my friendly moo cow for a country outting Tftc.

Found with Redants while on our Far North Road Trip to the Winterless North. We found ourselves in some interesting places that we would not have visited had we not been searching for caches. Thanks to all the cache owners.

We found this cache on a 2 week trip around Northland, visiting such locations as Opononi, Kaitaia, Cape Reinga, Russell, among many other places. Somewhere indeed, TFTC

Heading south today finding caches as we travelled along the roads of NZ.
There were some great scenic locations, the country side so lush & green.
Thanks for placing this cache wasa & chec

Found on the way down to Auckland for my Stag do.

Quick find with slieschke on our way back from the Mt Auckland walkway. Raining a bit now so we got a bit wet here. TFTC!!!

Found caching in the area with funkymunkyzone after walking the Mount Auckland Atuanui Walkway. Spotted the cache from the road and pulled up right next to it, so nice and quickly found and logged!

Thanks!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Someone had inadvertently assisted by adding some additional camo, but we still found easy enough, tftc

Making our way back home after the Easter Break and decided to break up the journey with a few geocaches.

A quick find as we made our way to Helensville.

As the torrential rain fell what dedication I had in retreving the cache! Still got wet but with success, great spot. Ty

Quick find.

11.10am. Another quick one by the youngest grandkid.
Thank you. David.

Easy drive by and great cache. TFTC

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

A nice quick find while in the area this morning, spotting the likely cache hide on approach to GZ. TFTC!

Found this series after a day of driving from Taranaki northward. TftCs

Nice and refreshing. One needs caches like this one. TFTC

Another nice and clever find on a now rainy day with jtp2001. TFTC!

Nice easy find with bapboy1996. TFTC

Weather was not up to much today it stopped us looking for another cache earlier today. So we fancied a quick stop and grab nearby home. This is the first of these kinds of your caches we've found. They're very inventive and very good. Nice job! Cache is in excellent condition. Tftc.

On our way home to Rotorua after a weekend function and four days of Geocaching.

Seen these before and spotted it as we pulled up. This is Kwik Fix #3 Middle of Somewhere but the log book said it was Kwik Fix #2, so we were a bit confused but a find is a find and we figured it would sort itself out when we found #2.

Thanks wasa & chec. Another smilie on our road south.

And yet another fun grab as we head north today. Thanks for the interesting hide.

This had been our first trip to New Zealand. We spent three weeks here in this amazing country, which is unfortunately quite a short time. We saw a lot of gorgeous places, met very friendly people, could see the different landscapes like deserts, rain forests, glaciers and oceans. And of course animals like Kiwis (never thought that they are so big), dolphins, seals, glow worms, penguins (I love the blue ones). It was hard to say good bye and go back to the winter in Europe.
We hope to come back one time...Greetings from Germany / Switzerland.

On our way back to Auckland we made a stop at this one. Unlike our last Kwik Fix this was a quick find at the given coordinate.

Thank you for maintaining the cache.

Very nice bin for the cache. It's in a very good condition and was easy to find.

Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!

Been trying to catch up on way old caches for ages. TFTC's everyone your cache hides are certainly appreciated and Happy Caching to you ALL!!
Regards, GrimRaider

Found with the Geo tour North group, in and out of the car so many times that it felt like being in the "Middle of somewhere" wherever that is! The hide was cleverly done, thanks.

[green] Out on the 3 day GeoTour North with ToursDirect, the prelude to the MEGA in Auckland. Fantastic tour, recommend it to anyone (too late!). I surprised only 4 people chose to come along. Today is Day 1. Log signed as GeoTour North, which includes me, Edvern, PageNZ, KittyKatch and GrimRaider.
Fast find here!

Cache #13 on the Geo Tour North. I remember spotting the hint and someone else making the grab. I have no idea where I am except that it is north of Albany. Having lots of fun with the GeoNorthTour team though. TFTC

Moving right along, the team and I (part of Geo Trip North) found, signed and left. t4tc

Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.

TFTC!

Nice hide

Logged as RAD together with renelm and aedk.

Another nice container.. maybe there's more than these, and they will loose their novelty at some point? That hasn't happened yet for us - it gets a point

Found at 14:37 - #4136 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

TFTC

Very easy find as we just found one identical a few mins ago. All of us spotted it from the car before we even stopped.
