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 Outtatime

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

A quick little stop on our way home to hamilton after spending the weekend in Taupo with friends. Have seen the poles driving past but never stopped till now TFTC

Took a mini weekend trip with the family to enjoy the water park in Taupo. Sure was a blast but I needed to do some caching.

Neat statue and easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Found it!

Nice find

It's my Mega weekend road trip! This is day one, on the road to Auckland. Will expand on my logs, post photos, qualifying caches for challenges, etc. When I get home. TFTC

A quick find as I stopped at the turn off to go to Arapuni.

Quick and easy P&G, only found one pole though

Neat hide - def don't need a hint

Great quick cache, fun to find.

Thanks

Funny, we thought there were going to be 40 poles here not to worry...TFTC

??

Thanks for your amazing cache.

Parked in the reserve and walked the few hundred metres to the cache. No one around so a nice quick find, sign and replace.

After a bit of a break from caching I am catching up on my logging that I hadn't finished due to various reasons.
We had been up to Cambrige for a wedding, heading home via Taupo and Hawkes Bay.

TFTC Outtatime.

Cool quick find

Another interesting place to stop. tftc

Good quick little find ️

My moko found it

I love this 1

Awesome

Nice quick park and grab! This was the beginning of our exploration of the timber mill and seeing how far we could go. Tftc

Not well camo. Added some.

Found

Drove car up to it found in 10 sec tftc

Went to talk to the poles and the poles revealed the secret. TFTC

Cool idea. Easily spotted but had to wait for a gap in the traffic. Must be home time

One of the easiest caches I have found. It was very quickly in hand. I went on a road trip following the "Mega that wasn't" in Auckland over Labour weekend. TFTC.

Great little spot thanks.

On a trip down from Whangarei to Taupo today and needed to break up the journey with several stops to limber up the passengers sore back. What a good excuse to also grab a cache or two at the same time.

Once at GZ, this was a nice quick find. TFTC

Heading back home after a weekend getaway in Wellington seeing the sights and collecting a few caches along the way. Nice easy park n grab. I think we added a new waterproof log. TFTC

tftc logs need to be changed, the non-waterproof ones are soggy and the waterproof ones are full

A quick afternoon tea stop in the reserve next door, found with ease. Log book extremely damp. TFTC

Another find on my journey back to Auckland. TFTC

Quick find

Replaced container

Quick walk and find glad had geo hound as cover. Very busy road. TFTC

Found it after a bit of searching ️ cache needs a bit of love as lid is cracked but logs are intact. Thanks for the interesting cache!

Found

Easy find, perfect weather for a quick hunt

Thanks

Easy find

Great find no muggles around today

Yay found it

I could see the cache, but it can’t be retrieved without either climbing on the sculpture or using a ladder. So I’ll mark as a DNF and message the CO.

Awesome find! TYFTC

GLASSIE- HODGSONS OUT

TFTC
Awesome sculpture that I wouldnt have seen if it wasnt for the cache

First cache for the year. Been meaning to grab this one for ages as I just work down the road but never got around to it. tftc.

Nice easy quick find TFTC

Quick find - interesting stop. Thank you

What a beautiful pole. Can't believe humans wanted to destroy a 20 000 hectare plot for money. Greed is going to destroy the world.

Stopped by to grab this one on our journey north today. The log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in it's spot all ready for the next hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC

Thanks Outtatime for placing this cache at a cool piece of art with no prickles

Log was full so I added a strip of paper that should last a few weeks... sorry I didnt have any waterproof paper to match existing log.

TNLNSL TFTC

Nice quick pickup tftc

#550 Stopped for a leg stretch halfway on our Sunday morning journey. TFTC
Logsheets full, needs replacement.

Found it on the trip home. TFTC

What a nice park! TFTC

Tftc,log is full nhad no paper to add,signed anyway

We would never have spotted this amazing piece of art had it not been for this cache so thanks so much Outtatime for bringing it to our attention. The cache was quickly located. TFTC.

We have often driven passes this structure but never stopped. Today we had time on our hands, so after parking close to gz we checked out the totem poles and found the cache. Log is almost full and needs replacing.

Found on my way South going back to Wellington

Great spot for a cache

Found the thing through the car window

Driven past many times and not noticed it. So thanks for making me stop and see
TFTF

A quick find tftc

My first time on foot in Jim Currie reserve even though Ive lived in Tokoroa over a year
Many thanks for bringing me here!

Heading north for the final time, as I'm moving away from the Manawatu now to head to the United Kingdom early in April. Even though I've got a nine hour drive ahead of me, I have decided to grab a couple of caches on the way - not too many though, as I am conscious of needing to avoid rush hour in Auckland as well as not increasing the drive time any more than I have too.

This was one of the caches I targeted and it was a quick and easy find and a nice stop to stretch the legs. TFTC

Find with Celyn18 on 04.06.2018 during our travel in New Zealand, a beautiful country. Tftc

We found It in the dark its pretty obvious

TFTC. The cache needs new log paper though.

Road trip with NZPatoto to spend a couple of nights in her motorhome at Lake Rerewhakaaitu (fantastic little spot, peaceful but not quiet due to the frogs and just what the doctor ordered), completing caches on the way there and back home. Got most, had to leave a couple due to parking, traffic and size of motorhome. 26 in Total, 2 DNF, 1 Note and 1 disabled (not included in count) on the homeward trip. Was open when NZPatoto print the details. 25 of 26 Found by NZPatoto. Day 3 Travelling Home. Easy find. TFTC

Headed off with Nahkins on a road trip in my motorhome. Headed to Lake Rerewhakaaitu doing caches on the way, while we stayed and on way home. Had mixed results.A couple I couldn't stop as there wasn't enough room for parking. 2 DNF. 1 disabled the day after I had printed out the list. Lots of blackberry in places. I got to this one. Needs a new logbook as the old one is full. Didn't have spare one us. TFTC

Nice thank you

Yah!

Very quick find

Quick find! 2nd cache...

Thanks for the cache

On our trip thru NZ we visit a lot of places and see many spectacular locations.
This cache was one of our stopps thanks a lot to the owner.
Logbook full!
TFTC
Schmerzbefreit

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Quick find while on the way home from holiday in Taupo with Riser5. TFTC.

Cool christmas trees nearby

Easy find. Nice sculpture. Found on our way back from Hastings to Auckland. No trackable. Needs a new log. Thanks.

Beautiful whakaairo!
