Missing in Action (Otago) Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand
By ajbenn on 03-Apr-14. Waypoint GC51NF0

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 ajbenn

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.

Intend to archive.

Windy area by lake so maybe gone? Didn’t see it either

Three DNF's so we didn't bother stopping. Suggest time for the CO to check/replace?

Think it really is missing in action

Unable to locate sorry.

Found the tape but no GZ Looked all around the bottom and surrounding area in case it fell but no luck *shakes fist to sky* I fear some muggle work may be at play.

Found with MrsC on our NZ travels from the UK. A bit of a wet day, but we found it, thanks

Yes it was eyes up. We had a good walk between rain storms
Found with mr c on our travels from the UK thank you.

Walked further along the path to find this one. A lovely walk and some get views along the water. Quick find at GZ. TFTC.

Nice hide, one of us would argue the hint didn't help. The container is in good condition, the logbook too. However the tape is not sticking a lot, and might need some maintenance.

Today we went gold panning in Arrowtown where we also found a few caches, then drove over to Kelvin Heights where we walked around the golf course and found some caches there.
This one was pretty easy. We also saw a cat nearby to GZ! TFTC!

A tricky find. TFTC

Nice spot!!!

Quick find on the last leg of our walk. Thanks!

Visited 3 November and installed a new container as no sign of the old one. No need to remove from site. Just unscrew the lid.

In holiday in NZ

Out in the open so tucked it away a little

Found

it was not even hidden, just lying out in the middle of the walking track.

Cool hide! We were looking in a few wrong spots at first as the tree cover made it hard to pinpoint the location. But didn't rummage too hard as we knew it should be easy to spot. Eventually found the right area and saw it immediately. Thanks for the cache!

Weekend in QT first time in 20 yrs changed a bit. Cold wet day good for a cache

Woow

Yay

Found in plain sight thanks

Found it!

Found quickly by GeoLa. Amusing camouflage. TFTC.

As the sun was setting this arvo we headed four this one - found by torchlight - great camouflage
TFTC

Great find, cheers

Tftc!

#17017. The photos were useful to work out the general area of the hide, and Troodles soon spotted the cache. At this point we split up; I turned round and went back to the west to get the car which was parked near the golf club, and Troodles carried on east, heading to the next cache. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 6 of our extended Easter holiday in Central Otago. Today we are heading to Queenstown and Arrowtown, our main objective: a couple of solved puzzles plus an old cache.
The cache was not hidden very well, so have left it better covered. Nice hide - and appropriate for the location . SW and I parted company here - he went back to get the car and I carried on walking along the track. TFTC.

Nothing here that looked remotely like the pics .

A great geocache!

I found it on 7.4.19

On a road trip south, enjoying the day and pic up some caches. TFTC

TFTC not ground level anymore, found in the notch of a tree.

Trouvée pendant notre tour du monde 2019. La famille AINE.

Today D4nielB and me walked the Kelvin Peninsula track and took the time to look for some geocaches on our way.
This one was an easy find and the last cache of the day because three DNFs followed.

Jul1ane and me wanted to relax a bit today, so we decided to pick an easier walk for today. We chose the Kelvin Peninsula Trail from our hotel to the tip of the peninsula and back. We had luck, at the beginning of our walk there were a few drops of rain, but this stopped after a bit, and we had dry weather, later even the sun came out. On the trail we also searched and found quite a few caches.

The cache is not MIA, we found it well.

Clever. TFTC

What the golf ball?

Nice one. Beautiful evening walk around the lake with the geokids. Having a blast. TFTC

Easily found after we ran into others geocaching!

Missing in action container was very creative and a favorite for the boys. Also found a second small film container with a logbook nearby. Misplaced cache? Unmarked cache?

Great quick find

Such a beautyful area. Found the cache really quickly.

TFTC says Toxxi from Germany

Was up this way for a car shown in Cromwell and a FTF popped up near by so caught up with KJR and we had to make a detour to get this one. A few DNFs but with w of us looking it was in hand in no time at all. TFTC

In Queenstown for the Gibbston concert so off for a walk around Kelvin Heights with Gadget169 before heading home. Have never been over this area before so it was nice walking around the lake and then driving around looking at all the houses. Didn't take long at all to locate cache with two pairs of eyes searching TFTC

Well back in Denmark again after my fourth visit to New Zealand. Luckily I also had time to go geocaching down under, and now it is time to long all my finds.
Cache found after a long time searching and logbook signed.
TFTC

Too hard for me

3 of us searched for 15 minutes without success

Not MIA for long, a quick find.

This was our first of two DNFs for the day…the green duct tape seemed to indicate that we were in the right place, but we walked away empty-handed.

That was a tricky one! Awesome!

Lake looks likeocean today !

Found

Smallest we have found!

Found it! Photos were a help, thanks

I started off the day by going up Queenstown Hill before sunrise and I was not disappointed by the views! Back at my hostel I rested for a while before deciding to rent a bike and bike along the lake, of course with a few stops as well. This was one of those stops. People were playing golf close by but I think I managed to get the cache without them noticing that there was someone behind the bushes.

Found it after a bit of rummaging, thanks!

Really enjoying our stroll on the walkway this afternoon. Had a very wrong idea of what we would find here. Quick find before continuing on our way. TFTC # 12,919

Out and about before too many golfers around. Still had to wait for someone to tee off. Such a lovely walk around here. TFTC

Nice little geo... had to wait for golfers to go but lovely track around the coarse with great views

Found with carpypete... new to geocaching!!hooked!

Nice easy find even though there were lots of muggles around. Tftc

Thought I might not find this as phone battery was about to die but it was nice and quick

Quicker find than expected

Lucky spotting. Tftc.

No pen. Dry log. Easy find

*Stopped by on a walk. The pretty gem isn't attached to the can anymore and someone popped it inside. The little woman replaced the missing logbag. It's raining but the hide is dry.*
11 Feb Found the cute green one in the spot. SL, it's in better condition than the nano they have at home. TFTC

Yew

Found it stumpy

Stumpy

Talking about how hard this would be to find when birthday geocacher holds it up & says ‘is it something like this’? Quick find

Hard to find!!

Found it. TFTC

Thanks for the exercise today. Found, log nice and dry.

Greetings from Tauranga. Pleased to find this as we had no access to the photos. All good. Carefully replaced. TFTC

quick found. now I have to hurry to catch de bus

Thanks

Managed a quick find on a beautiful walk around the water's edge. TFTC

Nice one

Had a quick look at the activity and found the cache.

Found with nomunomad TFTC

Couldn’t find it on the walk out decided to have another look on the way back and this time the coordinates worked for us. The gaffer tape has become partly detached and found away from site. Wasn’t sure on title or clues a find by luck

Not exactly where the hint suggested; TFTC

Last find of the day! Time to bike back to Queenstown

Another good find, thanks

Easy to find, bring a pen
