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 kennythekiwi

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

No sign of the cache.

Tried for quite a while but didn’t find it.

Due to the MEGA postponement - DavidsonClan and I struggled to put together a weekend plan. The path of least resistance lead to a Squirrelnutcase & Fap'N'Gap adventure in Napier. My Alarm went off at 2:30am and caching started just before sunrise. We had an excellent day but due to a few DNF's - we'll be back. A big Thank You to the CO's for the virtual tour of your city.

Unfortunately no luck for us today. Managed a quick CITO but couldn't come up with the cache. Will keep this one in mind for the next trip.

With (Mr) Davidson Clan, Gap (of Fap and Gap), and Philip.Perry. This line up was stitched together last night, just in time for our 4AM departure from Rotorua… We have planned another blitz of Napier caches. This should seriously tidy our geomap…

We dropped in for another unsuccessful look today… We used some of our search time to remove rubbish - a bong and other bits of drug paraphernalia. So much for eyes watching…

todays caching trip was to sunny Napier.
squirrel Nutcase and I left Rotorua at 4.02am
good drive down with very little traffic on the road.
plan was to make a sweep around city ,down towards Hastings back through Taradale and back to Rotorua tonight. we arrived back just before 10 pm with several caches ticked off.
sorry to say
no luck today .lots of rubbish jammed into search area and no cache for us today

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… In an effort to smash the next level of the ‘Reach the Peak’ challenge, we pre planned this little road trip weeks ago. To get a jump on the day, we were on our way at precisely 4:02 AM. With little traffic to contend with, we were able to hit the ground running well before 7:00AM…

We came to grief on this hide. A lengthy, extensive search - Just not sure what to look for here. We found something that may have once been cache related, but we’re really none the wiser on this hide…

Not too many eyes on me in the rain today.

Dnf

After having a DNF some time ago and as I'm in Naiper on this lovely day, decided to park car some distance away and walked to GZ. Didn't take long to find, sign and place cache back as found.
Unfortunately the council hasn't placed a rubbish bin in area, as lots of rubbish stuffed under seats. I would have removed it, but my rubber gloves ( definitely needed) and bag were left in car. Cheers

Yea

First geocaching didn't know what we were looking for till we got there

Coords took us straight to it, easy find and nice walk. Kids left some small treasure. TFTC!

Omg this was hard to find but found it

Had to go back twice because it was pretty hard to find

I have to admit when planning to trip Napier with Rattll I had doubts in my mind that we would gets lots of DNF but to my surprise we only had 3 over the two days out of approximately 60 odd caches found.
This one was no problem to find thank you for placing a cache here for us to discover another area we never knew existed.
TFTC

Event you hard

Good hiding.

The ladies from rattll and watcache decided a girly weekend in the Hawkes Bay was in order, so left the boys a list of chores, packed their bags and headed off for a weekend of frivolity and mischief.
We were surprised to find the Hawkes Bay was remarkably quiet, especially considering it was the last few days of the school holidays. However, the exception was the night club that was next door to our room at the backpackers, that provided us with a free live band that played predominantly loud reggae music until the wee hours of the morning. Too old to 'bop' the night away? Apparently not! Mrs watcache however can sleep through anything!!!

We spent a little while searching here without success and then read a previous log about the "other two" and sure enough found it quickly at that spot.
We decided to return it where our GPS indicated GZ was rather than where we found it. Hopefully that's OK
Thanks for putting this here for us to find

Found it thank you

It wasn’t that hard to find but worth the adventure

Awesome useful clues

Got em, needs a new logbook. That ones full

First of 12 caches located today on day 3 of our motorhome summer holiday to Hawkes Bay. Found this one on an early morning bike ride in Napier. The coords on my iPhone had me looking on the other ‘2’ seat, without success. When I moved to the correct one, it was a reasonably quick find. #3635. TFTC.

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on our annual pilgrimage to Auckland for our family Christmas. Today we cruised around Napier. Please excuse the generic logs, there have been a few finds and they get muddled up sometimes.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Found with my daughter, niece and sister

Awesome find thank you

Day 2 in the Hawke’s Bay After some sleep today is looking good with better weather So good to be out on a geocaching road trip to the Hawke’s Bay with some of Team BOP. It has been awhile and even though the weather wasn’t that good for day one we are having lots of fun. Thanks to all the COs for some great caches and getting us back out doing it again Glad to find this one TFTC

On an overnight roadie from Tauranga. A bit wet but have raincoat. Great to get a few more smilies in the area.

I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these cache. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

Team BOP gets together for an impromptu road trip to the Hawkes Bay to avoid the bad weather at home.
A quick find in a nice area, helped by the hint.

As it's been 3 months since last found, I had wounded if it was still there, after searching 5/5, I came up emptied handed. Cheers

Was difficult at first, but clues were a big help in finding it. Thanks so much

Couldn't see any eyes but had a rest on the 'hint' and quickly found the cache.
Isn't it great when Geocaching brings you to nice locations you wouldn't known elsewhere, even more if it is close to home.
Had a wonderful walk this morning.
TFTC

I have set myself a goal this year of having on my calender for each day a minimum number of caches for each day equal to the number of years I have been caching. So today I need another 4 more caches. This is the first of them.

Cheers for the cache.

Like jrb5050, we found the coordinates took us to the wrong of the two possible hint objects. Once we switched, it didn't take too long to find the cache. Our coordinates were S39 30.686 E176 54.320. TFTC

I started counting from the wrong end (with the help of inaccurate advice from the GPS), but once I reversed my sequence the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for bringing me to this lovely spot. Amazing the difference that planting makes!

CZECH
jen rychlá zastávka, obhlídl jsem celé místo a zalogoval
tady je určitě pěkné místo pro procházku

Visiting my parents and was so happy with how many caches are in Napier. This one was the closest to their house.

(:

A quick find once at the right #. Used to live near this walkway before I discovered caching so it was nice to return here with georunnermatt tftc

Found it with livee_nz. Easy find with the help of the clues (and once we worked out which end to start from for the 2 out of 5). Don't know what the clues about the eyes were though! Nice peaceful area to sit. TFTC

I wandered along the waterway from the west,
early this Sunday morning
Just another drain through suburbia !! [:o]
Flowing between the Scout and Guide huts,
and assorted interest groups,
like the weaving club headquarters

But this side of Bright,
the waterway has been transformed,
with natural rocks in cages,
and natural seats to sit on
Amongst all the nature,
I poked around for a cache ... naturally

After a thorough search of all likely places,
the clue provided the info I needed,
to overcome cache-blindness

TFTC

PS: I did not feel like I was being watched

Awesome fun, worth persevering

Tricky at first. 2nd clue the key

Another good hide found while in the area today with Just-Lookin.
Soon had it found and log signed.
TFTC
