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 union sux

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. 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.

Union sux is no longer geocaching sadly.
This was one of his best caches.
I checked recently and it is gone.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

with 3 of us looking for about 10 mins we came away with nothing, about time this one was checked please

Too wet for me here today. Maybe during the summer months ....

No luck here for us today

No luck for us here tonight.

Couldn’t find it looked everywhere and didn’t know what u meant about the hint

Wandering looking for hidden rocks and stopped with a hint written in, Karyn, Amy and Kurtis.

Took us a while but is a very clever find

After a shoe covered in mud and a jump off the path we managed to grab the cache.
Really different idea for a cache. Thanks

Lovely walk but the log is wet. Tftc

Wow this took ages to find but previous logs helped.

Lovely place to geocache. The painted rocks around the path are great. Found after a little searching. Thanks union sux nice hide.

Tricky little one for us today but found it in the end. Focussed too much on the gps and not actually using our eyes. Logbook is wet.

No luck for me the other day with this one. Didnt want to leave boardwalk to explore

DNF

Hard to find needed help
not a reach for me had to go exploring

Always hard to find with the patience of a 3 year old

Second time around for this one. Came on my own this time and had time to ponder and have a good look. A very clever hide. The log was a bit wet but still able to be written on. Thanks for the cache.

No joy with this one today

Found it

Camouflaged well, get off the track to find it!!

Great location

Spent ages looking for this cache but In the end its a DNF for me.

You're going to have to look for something out of place. It's here. Great hide. Get down a little or reach from the path.

Couldn't find

Everyone knows how much I like wallowing in the mud, but today I was wearing my 'good' Geocaching clothes, so I just looked in a few places before I gave up. Maybe supernannny could take it upon herself to mention how many boards there are from the end to the cache.

As self appointed guardian of Henderson dnfed geocaches ; I came to check on this one today!
5 years ago since I was here on a joint night time ftf.
But I remembered it was very awesome.
Got down and dirty today and found it afer 5 mins..
About 7m out by my phone. Added fresh paper .
Very cool....no danger of floating away! BYOP
Come find it!

does not seem to be there.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

no luck here and just where i thought it should be was a big dog dropping so with the other DNFs i did not persevere long.

Not good friday

Went for a walk around the lake scanning munzees, and took a detour to find this cache. Looked all over, event getting off the bridge for a good look. Just couldn't find it Although I did find an Easter painted rock

.

This one took a while. Travelling from Newcastle-upon-Tyne UK.

Got it but my daughter ended up with muddy feet jumping down to get it

Out and about for a spot of cache detection on this lovely warm and sunny day. I parked up and made the short walk to GZ. After surveying GZ I decided that the direct approach would work best so jumped down. Soon spotted something of interest and further investigation earned the smilie. Cheers for the cache placement!

Was in the area this morning so stopped where for a walk along this previously unknown walkway. Nice and quiet this early in the morning and nicely hidden. TFTC

Nicely hidden. Great place. Logbook wet, but no problem with logging in because of waterproof paper. Cheers

Great spot! Miss Three and I are picking up a Trademe purchase in Henderson, so I searched for nearby caches with some favourite points. This came up, and deservedly so - thanks!

Great cache! Enjoyed a nice walk in the sun to the cache spot.

Took me about 25 minutes to find no thanks to geo dog.. She kept leading me off in the wrong direction (to the scent of ducks)

I did go off the path to retrieve it, much easier. Good camouflage too!

Thanks for the Cache ^.^

Found it but we had to get off the pathway to claim it. Tftc

Took a little while. Didn't want to reach because there was so many webs and bugs and didn't want to put my hand on one. Turns out I probably wouldn't have been able to reach anyway. Nice little pathway here. TFTC

No luck for me here today.

Initially just going off the hint but when nothing jumping out opted to read past logs. This made for an alternate search area and the cache was quickly spotted, although it was on one side and Scottie was on the other. Quick retrieval thereafter , all good. TFTC

was out walking with lokky1 in the area so had a hint as co ords had me off track nice find tftc

O my goodness, this one tested us! What a good hide! SC - SublimeConnor

After Finding the Warrior Princess across the road, we went for a walk around the lake. This one took a bit of time to locate. Looking up, down across and under.only one muggle passed by as I was in search mode. GPS kept pointing elsewhere, around I went over there, now it showed back where I came from. Finally, a very methodical search revealed something way over there. Luckily my arm was just long enough to reach the object. Wahoo... Very cool camo cache in hand. TFTC

DNF 18:37
Stayed on the path, left the path, nothing helped.

A nice walk to GZ and fortunately a nice quick find for me. Nice camo too, I did have to look twice at it before I decided yes, it was the cache

Tftc. Speedhog62 ended up having to leave the path after dropping the cache. But all good. Love the camo.

Found today while out caching with witchegurl. Spotted the cache quite quickly. Dropped the cache whilst retrieving it. Quick thinking and grabbed it. Short arms may need assistance. Tftc.

I had a few hours to spare today to go and find a few caches. I decided to head west and wander around a few locations familiar and unfamiliar - well its all changed since I lived here over 25 years ago. Surprised that no one has found this since May. I had a pretty good idea where the cache should be and that's where it was. Clever hide - TFTC, Biggles.

Cool spot had never been this far around the walk, awesome cam. Tftc

Cleverly hidden. From clue we were looking in the trees. Think under rather than over.

Great camo. Found it with Z_seekers after some hints from previous posters.

Found it with big whitey after he went for a bit of a scavenge underfoot.

Had to look through comments and get my wife to help me find in.

A nice little stroll around lake for this. It was muggle free thankfully while we scrambled around. Tftc:)

A good deal more "scrambling" than "reaching" as far as I was concerned....but managed eventually
Great cache, very crafty camo. thanx

This one took some time to find but we werent prepared to give up. Eventually it was spotted once we clambered underneath. TFTC!

Had a pretty good idea of how this one was hidden but even then it still took a while to find exactly where it was hidden.

had the boardwalk to ourselves today though so we could take all the time we needed to find the cache. Finally caught a glimpse and engaged the long arms to grab the cache without having to fall off the side. TFTC

Here with friends and aft a bit of hunting we got our hands on the prize.. Tftc

On pair of eyes to see it, another pair of hands to reach it

Like all of these which can be reached from the track. Only if you know where you are reaching to.

most enjoyable wee wonder to GZ for yet another wee smilie.

On a mission today for our 50 caches km apart. Helefant was along for the ride too, so we have signed logs DJH - Darby&Joan, Helefant, for speed and saving space. This was find #42. This one took a bit of effort to locate and get into our hands. Got it eventually. Lovely spot here. SL. TFTC.

Hitching a ride with Darby&Joan for a day of caching, with company including a driver (pure luxury).
Although I had already done this challenge, it was a great opportunity to up my number of finds.
Might not need to leave path to retrieve but does make finding it a lot quicker. Wish we had longer to explore. TFTC

Second visit here! Brought my junior cacher with me this time! Discussed this cache with someone and got a hint so quick find this time!! Nice walk around the lake! Thanks

Used the clue from Gorby and Oneranger and successfully found it.In the process of finding the cache i got
dirty but all worth it in the end.The trick is to get under the board walk and look on top of all the cross beams

lovely stroll around the lake... the GPS is off but Gorby's words was there to help us out... not many people on the path to worry us and we explored every nook and cranny...tftc

kept us busy for a while

My second attempt. After reading Gorbys log that gave me a clue and I tried the same...yah, spotted it too. Very clever.

Found with dad

It took quite some to find it. But great hide. TFTC

Yay second time lucky armed with extra eyes in reuben_debbie. And knowing Gorby has just found it I was determined to get it. Looking for something out of the norm was the key. Thanks for placing this.

I must admit it took me some time to find it this lovely morning, Sunday. Co-ords seemed to be pushing me into the flax, was about to resort to jungle tactics and get out my flame thrower to find it when I spotted something thru the floorboards! Ho ho ho, there you are you little mongrel, forgot to bring along my extension arms, so had to resort to jungle tactics afterall, got down and dirty and dealt with the cache! Very nice hide, quite clever U.S.

Another one a bit too hard for me going to blame it on the fading light (or 1 too many wines). I will keep an eye on it and be back!

Wooooooo. After 2days of hunt. Found it. Sneaky.

Should try next time with better light

My friends and I couldn't find the container. Will probably go back on a sunny day.

Very nice!
Well done, replaced wet log, sealed leak, sealed outside with silicon, added pencil
Even better now -;)

I give up! I spent about 20 mins looking but nothing came of it! Too clever for me today! Another time!

Have not been to this part of the lake. Clever hide. Container and log a bit damp, dried out best I could. Lovely walk in the sunshine. Tftc:-)

Spent a bit of time looking for this one, looked in what I thought were the obvious spots but still no luck. Will try again another day.

Not my day today despite looking about for quite a while. Could see where most people went but that didnt help. Will try again another day. Nice lake walk though.

Came prepared this time, full body armoured layer of insect repellent. We spotted lokky out for a stroll in the area, nice to have a quick catch up, he kindly gave us a nudge as we approached GZ but it still took us a few minutes to retrieve then replace the nicely camoed cache….. cool stuff! Many thanks.

My wife spotted something out of ordinary. I couldn't reach it from the path so I had to find different way to approach the cache. TFTC

Got it this time after our previous DNF. Nicely hidden cache that took a bit of extraction but managed. TFTC

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

Came to the cache on the left side of the lake, after completing the circuit, I am sure I could have driven closer! Had to stretch, but the cache was found. Thanks again for the hide.

Its been years since we last was in the area, the plants have grown, and more houses built. Picked another hot day to look for caches, was relieved when I walked through some bush. I spotted a well trodden path to GZ, I had to leave the path, I could not stretch that far. Spotted a brown skink race away! Clever camo, and thanks for the hide!

We went for another pleasant stroll around Lake Panorama this evening, well after the heat of the day was done. Reached GZ and soon worked out where the cache would be, but could not retrieve it as described on the cache page. Tried a different approach and soon had the nicely camoed cache in hand. Thanks.

DNF… Check out those Mossies….. love at first bite!

Had to leave the path for this one. what a tricky hide!
TFTC

I continued on the walkway from the previous cache to the top of the pond.

Cheers for the cache.

Out on a night caching run with slieschke and FMZ which is a first for me. I had great fun finding caches at night which is a total different level of geocaching. This one was already found by both and I had the find all to myself TFTC
