Pipeline Upgrade (South Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand

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 Bartfound

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.

Regards

2nd attempt since afew months ago

Dnf sadly

May need pulling out

Couldnt find

Found this one a little while ago, so just to look at the cache page and saw there isn't any maintenance. There is a problem with it, the cache is down deeper in a gap around the pole. So we might have to fix it.

This cache needs replacing, Mr 12 had his finger tips to this one but he seems to think it has been knocked into the pipe, he seems to think he saw it was 2 caps screwed together.

2nd attempt not found

Great find! Used to catch the bus at this bustop and never thought I’d be back here. Awesome hiding place. No pen but did find it. Cheers

??

Looked in the right spot but didn’t look properly
No pen so here

Idk if it’s still here but

FIRST FIND!! Came here yesterday, didn’t find it but had another look today and SUPER FUN )

Found!! Search log and hard for it!! Nice hiding spot very clever

Couldn’t find it

Omg it took a while to find. Good hiding spot

Sweet spot, good hide. Thanks for the cache.

????

Clever hide! After reading the title carefully it was an easy find ️tftc

Searched the whole place and couldn’t find the cache. Too well hidden for me.

First timer - Got the idea now thanks for not being to difficult!!

Had some time in this area before heading home again, nice quick find. TFTC

This was the third day in a row of caching for the Hidden Creatures challenge and it is starting to get strenuous... But one does what one can in order to win tiny little virtual rewards... This one was a cool little cache. TFTC

Hidden creatures challenge... ACCEPTED. Found together with Greenkiwikids and Pyphant. Signed as team Piraten. TFTC

Picking up a couple of park n grabs down south today. No problems here. Nice hide. Log full. TFTC

After dropping off my host kid in school I had some time to drove to here to find some easy Geocaches. I could find them all, most of them quick and without any problems.
I needed only seconds here!
Thanks for hiding this one!

After working over in Howick I was out caching, heading towards my 6000th cache soon in 3 more days, so some caching after work is in order to get to that milestone. Love these caches for a quick find.

Log later

I was up in Auckland for one of my regular visits, and with having last week off work I was looking to break my longest streak for finds as well as push through and gain my 500th Cache whilst I was there.

Today is day 11 of my current streak, and the day of the long drive back home. The weather last week had been great until the weekend. Strong winds and rain meant I wasn't sure whether I would have to deal with some downed trees or it being a bit boggy underfoot!

Having parked across the road from GZ, I could soon see exactly where this hide should be. There weren't many muggles around at this time of the morning so I was able to take my time in locating the cache. The logbook was completely full, with nowhere to sign, so I have attached a photo of it as proof of finding.

The container is in good condition, and apart from the full log, everything is as it should be, so everything was put back exactly as found.

Thank you for placing this cache for others such as me to find.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Visited here at lunchtime, as not too far from work. Fortunately had read the logs and thought about the name, so became a quick find. Actually, it was lying on the ground, can only think the recent deluge must have flushed the spider out. Log paper is full, squeezed my name onto the bottom but needs replacing please. The force is not too strong here, maybe that’s why it managed to escape, hope it stays put this time. Nice original container. TFTC

Our first find! So exciting!

Nice quick park and grab at second attempt. Too many muggles in gardens last time.

Of the the potential spots at the gz this was the first I suspected but third that I checked. Should have thought more about the cache name...

Now the name of the cache makes sense. Found with michaelteacher and signed as H+M. Tftc

Parked nice and close, made a quick find here. Sneaky hide, cheers

A nice day to pick up some geocaches, enjoyed the sunshine and the fresh air, thanks for placing this cache

TFTC

Quick find with cragger.

Thanks for cache

Quick find with laval. Thanks for the cache

Found with darthcacher1 and HeMaLuDy. When we arrived at GZ their was a nearby muggle sitting in the bus stop, when he finally left it was a quick and easy find. TFTC

A cache was needed to fill a dot day on the calendar, so we headed to find this one. Once the muggle and his bike left the bus stop (I guess he was just having a rest as he didn't get on a bus, just walked off) we headed up and spotted a likely cache hiding place for a quick find. Found with darthcacher1 and purply.

Parked in the little dead end road by GZ but had to wait as a man was already in the bus stop waiting. Waited for about five minutes then when the bus pulled up then the man just biked away!!! So after the bus left we went up to the co-ords and made a quick find. Found with HeMaLuDy and purply. TFTC Bartfound

A quick stop for the cache. Searched the nearby obvious spaces before finding the cache. Container looks different and nice. TFTC

Nice quick find here -like your container! Tftc

3.35pm - Trip to Auckland with the Squirrel and a couple of new cachers on board with us. No real plans but with one multi cache in mind. With this ticked off it was just a day of increasing our cache numbers. A good with some interesting cache hides with a couple needing needing repairs and a couple of misses. Thanks to all the cache owners for todays trip. SLTFTC

Visiting Auckland with Nerweed and Gap (of Fap and Gap)... In the city to complete a job and for cache purposes...

We decided to spend the remainder of our afternoon in the Flat Bush area. There are so many caches tucked away in this rabbit warren piece of South Auckland. We could spend a week in here, and just be scratching the surface...

Most of the caches we found today were fairly typical urban hides. Some need new logs, or complete overhauls... We thought the man waiting for the bus might cause us some grief. It turned out, we were able to snap this up without any fuss... TFTC.

With my uncle and Gap. A man was waiting for the bus but we got this cache without him knowing. TFTC.

A nice quick park and grab on my way home from work this afternoon. I had to wait for a break in traffic to put the log back - a couple of surveyors turned up while I was walking back to my car, but safely returned TFTC

We pretended to be waiting for a bus until there was a gap in the passing traffic. After reading the previous logs we were pretty sure where to look and made a quick find. TFTC.

This is a new caching area for me. I put my fingers in the right place first time, and the cache just dropped into my hand. No TOTT required. TFTC.

A nice quick cache and dash here. TFTC

Coordinates spot on

Mangawhai to Auckland.
Today we drove back to the city, our holiday comming to an end.
So much going on in the last couple of days so I have not been able to log this untill we arrived back in Aussie.
Thanks for placing this cache Bartfound

Ha ha ! Was totally looking in wrong places here , even got tooted at while I was head down and bum up on ground in bus shelter !!!!
Then I looked at cache name !!!!!
Well tucked away thanks ! And still no muggles at bus stop ! Phew !

After hitting the fifty days in a row mark I have decided to try for sixty. So when I woke up on this nice sunny morning, but saw that there were rain clouds off in the distance, I decided to get today's cache earlier than later. And it was just as well that I did as it was while I was hunting for this cache at GZ that the heavens opened up. Anyway, when it came to finding this particular cache, it was actually in the very first place that I looked. The only thing was that I didn't actually look hard enough there the first time, and so after a very extensive search everywhere else, I returned here out of frustration and quickly found it. Duhh! As it was raining pretty hard by this point, I took it back to the car, signed the nice and dry log, and replaced the cache after having to wave a bus on... no I am not a customer today. So thank you once again Bartfound for setting this cache up. I am really enjoying this series. TFTC!

Back working in Chapel Downs today. Stopped here on the way home to inspect the Pipeline Upgrade. Nicely done. Thanks.

Third find of the afternoon with GERNITA, took longer than it should've! TFTC.

Looked in the wrong place for a while! Should always read the title carefully
TFTC

Nicely tucked away. Day three of our 4 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back to collect as many caches as we can. Log signed as b&p.Tftc

4th find tonight w/ mrsadboycpb. Nice lil easy hideaway!

I'm starting to love these sit & relax ones with dazgoodd

A quick trip to Auckland this weekend and a day set aside for caching with tmann421.

A nice quick find for us here. TFTC

Easy find

Time to grab a cache after a night out; had to wait a couple of weeks to get this as last time there was a muggle waiting near by. TFTC.

Forgot to log this! Tazziboi and I found it after much hunting. We thought we knew where it was but couldn't find it because it was put out of reach, please be careful putting it back!! tftc

Took us longer than it should, nice hide and find

Found it! After searching somewhere else lol

Found with eilisrose. Knew straight away but very good hide. Tftc

Easy find with Renee Tyler

Nice and easy find

Nice quick find. Very busy spot. Tftc

Bit of a stretch

Quick park and grab. Missed it first time round but keep intruding on the spaces and success of a log in hand signed and replaced. Day 36 of a 50 day streak. Tftc

Awesome spot, thanks!

Tftc

Needed a cache today and this one fit the bell after a bit of Christmas shopping. Found after looking and relooking before finally spotting it. Thanks for the hide.

Good one and clever clues lol

There were muggles across the street waiting and muggles across the street working. After the waiting muggles left, I was able to search the big red herring and then find the cache. Neat placement. TFTC.

Our second try finding this one. Took a while but got there in the end. Tftc

Most obvious place yet yoh wouldn't think to look there

Took me two goes to find this, kicked myself when I found it of course. Nice hide. TFTC

Ha, read the activity log carefully and found a clue. Just as well a bus didn't come along as I would've had to feign indifference.
TFTC

Interesting piping project, now if only they could underground all the major electricity lines in this region - a very ambitious project I’m sure!
Thanks for am clever hide - once again good timing as no one waiting at the bus stop
Many tftc

10:28 - #24 Wow I never knew they could get so small...

But I found it...

Signed the log and cache returned to hiding spot for the next Geocacher...

Happy Hunting! e)

Stopped for this one on my way home. Pulled up near GZ and thought "aha, I know exactly where this one will be!" Had a quick look at a nearby object, then discounted it and went to where I thought the cache would be hiding. Searched high and low, then high again, then low again.... nope, not there! Went back to the first spot I looked.... oh, it is there- I just hadn't looked hard enough. (A woman having a male look... oh, the shame!!!)
Cool cache container. Thanks for the hide!!!

After a whirlwind couple of days of travelling for work I needed to get an Auckland cache to fulfil a challenge mystery. I had my eye on a different one but found muggles there and remembered that this one had recently been reenabled so made my way over.

Ducked out of the car for a quick find in the obvious place, signed log and returned it to its home and I was on my way - job done!

Thanks for the cache.

Nice shiny new little container. TFTC

Another great find on a geocaching holiday in the area.
Thanks for setting up this cache Bartfound.

Nice to get this one found fairly quickly today.
SL

Had tried this one a while ago to no avail, had better luck this time with a quick detour on the way home. TFTC

Ready to find again, happy hunting

Pulled up and started the search in the wrong place. Looked at where the GPS pointed and it made a lot more sense. This cache is greyed out on my map, but it's definitely there. Thanks!

I spotted that this cache had reappeared on the map while at work nearby today, so quickly determined to go for the find. Parked up nearby and went straight to GZ for a quick find. Listing appears as "temporarily disabled". All is good with the knew hide, so renewable this one. Cheers for the cache (re)placement!

Ready to go

Cache replaced, ready to find again.

Cannot find replacement
