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 johkey3
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.

I was out with TeamCacheventures looking for some nearby caches after work.
Stopped by to Camomanjaro on the way home — like the name as the road is is located on is called Kilimanjaro.
Found it rather quickly and signed the logbook.
F.Y.I: I found this a little while ago with TeamCacheventures, but logging now as have got an account.
TFTC!

Tricky to be stealthily with this one! Especially when locals are in their kitchens.... Tried our best but couldn’t find anything. Saw the last two logs were DNFs too. Perhaps this one has gone missing?
Clue makes this an easy fun find. Well, we think we found it, green lid and lego man inside, no log - needs maintenance
Out grabbing a few caches for the Museum Challenge, a nice winters day today.

Neat hiding spot, definitely took a few looks around to find but got there in the end. TFTC!
Nice spot! Cache is damp inside however, didn't really have the time to properly dry it out bar tipping out the water and wiping the container. TFTC!
Swung by here after a pub quiz in Botany. Figured where it might be fairly quickly. Was just a matter of using our phones' flashlights to have a look in the dark. Didn't take too long to find and sign (which was good as mosquitoes seem to be more prevalent than I remember in other years). Thanks!
Ah this hasn't been found in a while. I have to say I'm slightly disappointed by the lack of camo on this one despite the name, good pun though. Knew roughly where the cache would be upon approach, but this definitely had michaelteacher on his belly looking in all sorts of directions. Anyway, cool street names around here. Good sized cache big enough for TBs but unfortunately didn't have any with me. All good here, tftc
Thanks Guys! Just so you know, this cache has probably been found enough for you to hide your next one! Well done with your first hide! Nice to find this on a nice sunny day today.

I had to attend some staff training in Botany this morning, so afterwards took advantage of being over here to do a spot of caching. Parked on Kilimanjaro and walked into the park to look for Camomanjaro. The hint gave me a good idea of where the cache would be, but with the ground conditions being so wet I was not keen on following the instruction to the letter. Luckily I did manage to locate and retrieve the cache with just one damp knee. TFTC.
I had the boots so I went for this one, very soggy underfoot but the cache was located. TFTC
Team BOP hit the Waikato area until we got bored with Hamilton. We decided to head to Auckland at 10:30pm for a bit of night caching. We kept going until 3:30am and decided we better return home to Tauranga before we got too tired.
After visiting the caches around the busy shopping centre area, we found this nice little park. It was the middle of the night and we didnt see much but what was in our torchlights ahead.
The cache was found and signed quickly.

With a break in the weather this was the perfect weekend for geocaching. I had no plans so with the help of TNXPro and Squirrelnutcase we sought out a worthy adventure heading West to help Squirrel clear his map. What no one knew at the time was this adventure would morph to span 21 hours, cover 3 regions and we'd have Davidson clan join us at the half way point just in time for the Auckland leg of our journey. A crazy day with Team BOP but there's no denying - it's a lot more fun with friends!
With the sun well and truly gone we had the place to ourselves which was good but the wet grass really tested our "waterproof" footwear. The cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks the accurate coords and a straight forward placement. I loved the name too. Cheers TheCoblets, TFTC

Out for a nights caching with Team BOP which consisted of Philip.Pery, Tnxpro,Squirrel nutcase amd myself didnt really have a plan as such just headed for Auckland and followed the caches. Cache in good condition.
Great night home by 630am for some sleep.

With (Mr) Davidson clan, Philip.Perry, and TNXPro...
Our caching adventure quickly morphed into an all night mission in East Auckland. We were looking for an area with a good spread of caches that didn't require a lot of driving from point to point. Botany Town seemed perfect... As with most nighttime missions, cache finds quickly become a blur as there is not much to focus on other than making the find. My lasting memory of tonight will be enjoying the company of our group, mixed with very cold, wet feet from walking across boggy ground.
I'm not sure about enacting the hint tonight... TFTC.

A fantastic day out cacher hunting with the family, cache and log in good condition, thank you for placing the cache
Figured out where this one would be and a quick feel around produced the goods. Cache is in good condition. TFTC.
After yesterday’s heavy thunderstorms I enjoyed some dry geocaching in the area. Easy find. TFTC
Have run past here and looked at this place so many times, never ventured in or noticed this hiding place before though. So this has brought me into a new place, thank you. Found this one fairly easily, all nice and dry, plenty of space in the log book. Inventory mentions a Wales Flag Tag, sadly its not there though. Signed and replaced. TFTC
I could not work out which was the wetter, log, ground, my back, or the structure cache was hidden. On reflection I have decided the log was the wettest and needs replacing. Reading the hints I found the cache with instinct and did not need gps and pleasantly there was no muggles around.

Finally got out to find this one and found the logbook absolutely sodden. Signed as best as I could but this needs replacing. TFTC
Nice quick find on our way home with Merlot58 and Jag50 after our big day out caching !
Thanks for the placement .....
Playground looks cool but luckily we didn't have to go there!

We were heading home and having had a dnf on our previous cache we didn't want to end the day on a dnf. So we saw this one was only a slight detour away and swung by. the playground was quite busy but thankfully we were far enough away for anyone to notice us retrieving the cache.
Last cache for the day with SM and M58. Lovely Spring day and the playground was full of activity. Lucky for us, they were too busy to notice what we were doing. Cache quickly found and returned. Log is a little damp, but managed to sign our names.
Nice quick find, pretty muddy but was fairly sure where it would be so didn't need to get messy

Ive lost count on the amount of times we've driven past here to find the playground busy. All clear late this afternoon as it was now getting cold and no one was around. Found in the first place checked, TFTC!
Was out this way to see Kung Fu Panda 3 with the boys today (great movie) and decided we would grab some caches after the movies. No camo on this one and no trackable inside
There is nothing quite like lying on the ground in the wet! Good fun. Tftc ☺
Glad I found the perfect time to find this cache. The playground had wet paint, so there weren't many muggles around.
I needed to find a cache on New Year's Eve for the souvenir but having the kids in tow meant the easiest grab would be one in a playground. I had been here before in the winter but it was far too muddy to attempt grabbing the cache So this time round I knew exactly where to go and it was nice and dry yay! TB dropped, Happy New Year! TFTC!
While the girls went shopping I decided to grab some nearby caches and this was the first. No muggles in the playground meant I could search in peace and it wasn't long till I was signing the log.

#406 log sheet was missing here, and saw that some of the cachers have signed on the playing card, chances are there that kids may take it,so tore and added a bit from one of the papers we had. Loved the size of the container. thanx for the placement and for making us do some pretend push-ups.
I was reluctant to heed the hint as I was wearing a white shirt but fortunately the ground was pretty dry so we managed to spot the cache. Signed the playing card. TFTC!
Cache was there, no problems.
However, there is definately no log book,,
I signed the playing card.

Couldn't find the paper to write our names on, so wrote on a playing card instead. Fairly easy to find
Searched everywhere for ages. Loads of rubbish near GZ...looks like someone has been living there in the bush. Please can owner check if the cache is still there. Thanks
Checked to see if cache was still there. It is still there. There also is no rubbish. Perhaps you have the wrong coordinates.
Half an hour to fill in before my gym class. What else to do but find a cache or two. My gym towel came in handy to kneel on, but is now rather grubby. Oh well. TFTC
Another great find on a geocaching holiday in the area.
Thanks for setting up this cache.
Nice to get this one found quickly today - wet and muddy in area though.

After the queens breakfast a few of us headed over to Lloyd Elsmore to have a look for some caches. After this I went on a further tiki tour with Newlyn Family.
I had actually passed this spot previously but it was way too muddy to get close enough. Today was not much better but with no kids in tow to completely cover themselves I just got on with it and came away pretty clean considering.
Thanks for the cache.

Working on completing our calendar matrix, and needed a cache to find tonight. One of us grew up nearby, and spent a lot of time at this playground as a child. No problems retrieving the cache tonight, as not a soul about on this dark, dreary evening! Thanks for the hide.
A quick cache found on the way to pick up master 6 from school and satisfy the caching bug knawing away at me.
I thought I'd try early Sunday morning to avoid muggles in the playground. I hadn't counted on a kitchen window overlooking the GZ. Careful timing soon had the cache in hand. thanks.
Great little find. Note to self - wear older clothes when geocaching, especially when it has been raining ☔. TFTC
Nice quick find. A couple of muggles in the play area but they took no notice of us. TFTC
Just grabbing a couple of caches on the way to my next appointment and making up the numbers for my self imposed Dot Day.
THe area was just how I like it, free of muggle children or their parents.
Nice quick find on to to my meeting
THank you for the placement

The hint was very helpful. Daughter was a bit disappointed at treasure items though- a broken straw among the couple of things in the container...? Good hiding spot- TFTC
Found with my Mum, NewlynFam. Have now created my own account so am logging all finds I was present at and helped with.
Picking up a few caches prior the the Puzzled event, and a chance for the kids to play. TFTC
Yay First cache of 2015!
Been doing some shopping for cache supplies and decided to add to our FOUND count on the way home.
Were some kids playing at the playground but GZ was far enough away for them not to worry. I was a little concerned about the close proximity of houses with LARGE windows looking out over the park.
However I was lucky to find cache at the first attempt to "redo my shoelace" so even if someone had been looking think I would have been alright.
TFTC and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
