As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

I came here a few weeks ago and there was no cache to be found despite checking on the phone with a previous finder. This person has since visited GZ and confirmed that there is no cache where he found it. Some attention from the CO needed.

Found the right spot, but there was nothing to be found

Too tricky, couldn't even find any stones to look under at GZ or at suggested coordinates.

No joy despite using anzac61's co-ordinates

Found great spot with rock but no cache for us today

A tricky hide, it took quite a bit of searching while geo-toddler played on nearby playground. Enlisted some help from Flowerydaze but it was not where she had found it. Tftc and Happy New Year!

Spent ages looking for this yesterday with -tink- and PaisynsMummy. Bit hard when precious logs suggest the coords are so far out. Area was well trampled but no luck. We decided to give up and move on with our day of cycle caching.

Seriously, could make it a little easier?

#6022. Fortunately the place was quiet today, for we had to do quite a bit of searching. Resorted to the hints, but the version we had downloaded some time ago was not all that helpful. Started looking at the current logs, and the updated hints, and it started to make more sense and to help us focus on what we should be looking for. anzac61’s log was particularly helpful in this regard. The cache was found about 8 metres from the published coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find with geo family awiggy & wiggy1&2

Nice easy find with geo family awiggy & wiggy1&2

Used anzac61 co-ordinates to find, a bit tricky but good spotting from wiggy1+2

Clues helped

Find #2120. It's been awhile since I've cycle cached (or any caching actually) so made the most of this sunny Sunday by taking the first train to Waikanae and using the blustery N'west wind at my back to steer me home. This one really tried my patience. The coordinates had you right by the sign (are you using a smartphone? - not very accurate for placing caches) and the hint wasn't much help given the number of plants nearby. But hunted and hunted and eventually found it under a stone (if you want to know the difference, rocks are rough and unweathered, stones are smooth). For those following try S40 52.694 E175 01.057. 7 of 23 today. SL TFTC

Success at last! Determination paid off today (previous visits were unsuccessful) and the cache was found very quickly. Co-ordinates quite a bit out, but found in the end. Tftc.

Couldn't find it at first but found big bear's bridge and came back for a further look. Thought about clue and previous people's logs and found it.

took a little while to locate this one today

Second visit to this cache site, but after a thorough search with team cacher Mr.T I'm reluctantly logging a DNF. Thanks anyway.

Got this a couple of weeks ago while out walking. Tftc Hawker007

Tftc. Coords a bit off.

Quick find thanks.

Found on second attempt. TFTC

Like others I found the gps coordinates off by 10 meters or so. The find is shaded in multiple ways and requires a bit of looking

Thanks. Found with team Jade
Mahalo from Hawaii

Found it with tu2 tracker. See my other note

Log is full

Easy find tonight while enjoying daylight savings. TFTC SL

new log in place

Quick easy find. Nice spot TFTC

The coords weren't all that accurate but one of the previous logs took me straight to it. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. I finally found it at 11:01 am on 29/09/14. At last on the 3rd attempt!
Every time I have looked, my iPhone takes me to GZ by the Grandparents Sign. Today, in frustration, I abandoned GPS and just looked! Found cache 10m away.
I know iPhone GPS isn't perfect but I'm left wondering if these coordinates are still not accurate?

Quick find second time around

cache buried under damp soil completely, obviously from rain, whoever moved rock please don't do it again!

cache presumed missing

Had a quick search as alot of people around.
Co-ords took me to one spot but hint said go other way.Which is it??
will have to come back when got more time

Too many people around I probably looked dodgy searching but couldn't find it. Will try again in a hopefully more quiet time. A rainy day perhaps.

Found easily this time with Just-Lookin & Princess Emily

Found with tmann421 and Princess-Emily. TFTC

Found with Just-Lookin & tmann421. TFTC

Enjoying the evening sun after a day of rain. Took a long time searching, had a play at playground in between, then back looking from another angle and yay, found it this time! Thanks for the updates. Tftc.

We were at a garage sale across the road so thought we'd have a quick look minus the gps but guessing where the new coordinates would place us. What do you know ....there it was and not buried at all Nice to tick this one off. New log shet will be required shortly. T4TCSL

A lot easier this time around. Suggest next searcher leaves no stone unturned in seeking out the container. TFTCSL

showed dino lover, thanks whoever put rock in place

cool

disabled until co ordinates are redone

Coordinates changed from:
S 40° 52.699 E 175° 01.057

Coordinates changed to:
S 40° 52.698 E 175° 01.056

Distance from original: 7.8 feet or 2.4 meters.
co ordinates now s 40 52.698 e 175 1.056

updated

needs another hiding spot as the cache is buried

cache co ordinates updated and not buried anymore

Having rechecked today it is in my humble opinion that the coordinates are a little astray as there is no cache at the given coordinates according to all three of our devices. ( garmin nuvi 500; 62s ;and the ipad geocaching app)..... all these are usually accurate to within a couple of metres. So perhaps the CO needs to recheck the coordinates?

No luck for us today but it was nice to run into Tmann and Just-lookin at GZ.

Out on a walk on this beautiful sunny spring day. Excited to see a new cache, but with lots of rummaging and searching still had no luck! A clue about the type of container we're looking for would be useful. Will be back another day.

No luck here for Just-Lookin and myself even looking together with Mermaid.man & Barnacle.boy

Had a good look while out and about with tmann421. Met Mermaid.man and Barnacle.boy and we all joined in on the search, but no luck today.

strange to see so many didn't finds, thought this was an easy cache, it isn't muggled though because i checked it today and was all in good condition.

all in good shape, nobody else has logged it though

Had a quick look but had to abandon our search as there was a sudden influx of cars, joggers, dog walkers and to top it off we were almost run over by a pair of horseriders. Will find a quieter time next visit.

********FTF**********

Yay my first FTF

Took a bit of time and rummaging to find.

Saw an empty log and was so excited

Found at 3:25 PM

TFTC

Thanks hawker007
