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.

This cache needs archiving, the CO hasn't been active since 2015

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

Hi bach57

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. 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

Sadly

Like previous DNFs ... suspect no longer around

I think it may have washed away

Hasn't been found for two years. Possibly taken

Searched everywhere could not find this.

No longer here

Good cache - meow (found a while ago with my mum Raven_eyes)

I thought it was good that we had timed the tide right for a change but what we had forgot to check was if it had actually been found didnt spend long looking after seeing the dnfs

Missing

Headed out this way to join up with a group to cache at Duder's Reserve. Left a few hours earlier to find a number of caches that I didn't have a chance to look for on my last visit in the area.

Saw the many DNFs but since I had to pass by I thought I'd give it a look. Searched around to no luck.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Adding our names to the dnfs. Three of us search and came up empty

Looks like this one is gone

Not sign.

No luck for us today. Is it still there???

Not there...?

Today I rewarded myself with Geocaching all on my own, after having worked very hard in the last weeks and after having survived a birthday party of 12-year Olds at the weekend... I wanted to explore the surroundings of Beachlands a little bit and Geocaching is always a good way to learn about the area.
I couldn't find the cache though and reading the previous logs, I am not sure if it is still there...

Am certain this one has been washed away by recent storm as by reading the other logs, sounds like it would have fallen on the ground due to rusty chain but there are signs the water rises to atleast a meter here by the debris. May need replacing

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

Straightforward find but unfortunately not hanging as metal rusted. Log wet, disintegrating and impossible to write on.

Lovely walk along the beach to this little group of caches. This was located ok but the wire has rusted and tentatively secured it but needs the wire attachment replaced at some stage as I suspect a good gust of wind will blow it to the ground. TFTC

We’ve looked for this one before - funny how sometimes a second attempt yields results almost immediately. Laughing now at how frustrated we were last time! very cool, but yes, log is too wet and it needs some new infrastructure...

Lovely place. Thanks for placement here. About cache ... logbook stuck inside and wet. Unable to take it out and sign it. Need some attention. Also wire is bit rusty. TFTC

Wow was expecting a long search but what do you know walked straight up to it. Log very wet

This plan had been some time in the making as neither Kiwis69 or myself had collected "Alice", so with arrangements made and time being set all we had to hope for was fine'ish weather.
Heading out from home at 5.30am (a sleep in compared to our normal starts) we headed off with great anticipation for the days activity. Having completed Alice successfully we thought to grab a few more from the area before heading back home.
This was the fifteenth cache of eighteen for the day as the day wore on. Our final walk of the day as we wanted to grab these along here and enjoy a little of the coast that Auckland has to offer.
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

Out and about exploring the area & finding some caches today along with C&D - having a lot of fun and a lovely day to be here. Didn't take long to uncover the hide, thanks to the good coordinates and helpful hint. Many thanks for the placement, TFTC

Found it Log very damp will need tweezers to pull out the previous logs as they are tightly packed in. Just wrote our names on piece of paper and put it in not sure how long it will stay dry for! Cute cache Thanks

A quick and easy find here. All good. TFTC

Found it but need a repair paper is all wet and damage but also find

Last full day in Auckland before heading home to Nelson tomorrow. Decided to head out in this direction to find a few caches. Uh oh. I hadn't checked the tide times before coming out here today so found that I had arrived not long before high tide. Manged to keep my feet relatively dry on the way out but couldn't avoid a bit of a splash on my way back to the car. Spotted this cleverly camo'd cache quite quickly. TFTC, Biggles.

Walked along the nice beach and found this one quite quickly. As the original log can't be retrieved fro ´m the container without a tool we added a small piece of paper with our signature.

**Blinkies**

Thanks

Found it quite easily. Kids thought the camo was great

I took the caching buddy, Josie for a walk and grabbed this as we past by. Log appeared to be mush and jammed into the bottom of the container so I couldnt get it out without destroying it. Should be OK to remove with some tweezers, which I didnt have with me. Thanks.

Fantastic camo. The new log is nice and dry but tweezers came in handy. TFTC.

Found it although log was a soggy grey mush. Replaced with some scrap paper I had in pocket. Good camp.

Treasure a little on the soggy side

Very cool camo!! found it but it was on the floor very difficult to open and unable to sign as log is wet have photo as proof if needed. Have now hung it back up, but log will def need replacing. TFTC

Looked twice for this one but could not find. Judging from previous post it many have gone missing?

Cache on deck. Log soaked.

Found on the deck, which has resulted in the log getting soaked. Needs maint. Great views. TFTC.

Out and about today enjoying the sunny day and getting a few cache finds. Nice hide here. SL. TFTC.

Cool cache. Easy find

Cheeky

Nice area for a walk

I live close by, but never got to this point before! Thanks!

Thank you

Cool camo. Tftc

Easy find. And good camo. Thanks and greetings from Latvia!

This cache was my #1977 and was found at 17:37

Great spot, a lovely walk! Thanks.

I was in the area after deciding to go for a Saturday afternoon drive. This was a delightful quick walk followed by a quick and easy find. TFTC!

Very cool camo, deserves a FP from me I got scratched up a bit in the long grasses getting to it but it's a great cache! TFTC!

Tftc

TFTC. This was a easy cache which was found quite fast. I enjoyed this one because it felt like an adventure. I had done this with steazzy_ , raven_eyes and stevecoxnz who had already completed. This was a good cache to do on Christmas eve apart from the rain

TFTC.

Went there in the dead of night. A couple of kiwis gave me an almighty freight

After a lengthy treck we loved this cache!

Out with some caching buddies for the evening (Sherlock the Puppy and Socialbizguy), with the mission being to find all of the Beachlands caches.

By the time we got up to these caches, it had got rather dark. However, armed with torches we set off anyway. It seemed to take quite a while to get to GZ, but we persevered, chatting away and laughing at Socialbizguy's surprised reaction as he landed square in the middle of a puddle, soaking his sock and his shoe
Once we got to GZ, we started looking on the wrong side, and I thought this was going to be one of those needle in a haystack type caches. But, fortunately, Sherlock the puppy decided to go around the corner, and found it quickly.

Very cool cache! Unfortunately, the cache container has come loose from it's host, and so if the CO wants this hide to last, it may need to be re-attached!!!

Thanks for the hide, and the fun walk in the dark!!!

Spotted the item that looked just a little out of place. Nice hide! TFTC

Our third find of the day with Gernita, cool cache, thanks for the hide.

What a cool hide

Great spot. Managed to get across without getting too wet.
TFTC

Nice cache. A bit soggy from recent rain. Might need a new logbook soon.

Clever hide.

Cunning hide tftc

Just found beach lands area one day. Exploring it is bliss!! A fav spot. Thank you

TFTC. Just hanging around.

Raining quite hard today in this nice area, but found the cache quickly. SL TFTC

Found whilst out with keylev and cragger.

Thanks for the cache

Found whilst out with keylev and laval.

Thanks for the cache.

Hadn't got any plans for today so decided to head out this way and clear out a few more caches.

Noticed the low tide and decided to go for a walk along the beach. Found the right tree straight away and soon spotted the cleverly camo'd cache. I own one like this which helped too.

Thanks for the cache.

Good to wander along the beach today with Ric after our Island adventure and grab a few more caches !!!!!
Really enjoyed your camoed container thanks bach57

Clever cammo , but we weren't fooled. Tftc.

Found with Mrs McMike2012 while out for a bit of a walk around the area ... there being a few new caches in the general area since our last visit out this way ... the 6th of 7 for the day... the tide was out, as was the weak winter sun & the breeze stayed away ... all in all, a beautiful day for a stroll along the beach ... cache was easily retrieved, signed & replaced ... TN:LN:SL ... TFTC ... #942 for us.

Great cache. Easy find. Nice place to come. Kite surfers out and about.

TFTC

Yippee- found one!! And what an excellent one it was- I might even do one myself one day.... If I can keep finding them I could really get into this Geocaching - some a little too subtle for me at the moment!!! I won't give up though

Great container. Quick find. TFTC

We like it. Miss Molly liked it too. Her favorite toy was out of reach. Worth a favorite. TFTC!!!

Thanks, very cute.

Found it! Got wet feet but it was worth it.

Found by team-buddy, fantastic camo! tftc

Cool camo. Easy quick find

Found with Team Benny while visiting Pine Harbour for a relaxing morning out. Excellent hide! Finger nails came in handy Enjoyed the shelly sand and the pine smell. Nice view of eastern beaches across the mud flats. Thanks GC

Nice little wander
