Hi family_faleThis 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 cache maintenance logged. 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.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

Came from work late. Used flashlight to see if I could see it. Everything around waist height was removed. Most likely muggled

As there were already 3 dnfs here we only spent 5 or so mins having a quick thorough look but couldn't find it.

Not anything at waist height.

We couldn't find it. Looked for a while, but no go.

**21,078**Left Mr Geckoh to get his hands dirty locating this one. He didn't take too long - thankfully and then we were off to the next one. TFTC

Tftc good morning to get out thanks for the placement second time around found yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

Read previous logs and persevered.

Found! After reading the recent logs I still had some hope and sure enough it showed itself soon enough Have enjoyed learning about this area over the list few days. Thanks for placing

Not sure maybe it was moved...

hi .rechecked this spot since i was last to locate. cache is indeed still there and in tact

Just wanna update to know if it’s still there or if it’s been picked up on accident, cheers

I work right next to the cache, so imma keep trying

Only cache around that I can’t seem to find

first solo find!tricky az. tftc

Found with toby84. Cleaver hide.

Deceptive hiding spot, well done. Found with Reny90

Woo-hoo 2nd try here but dug a little deeper than the first time

Finally lol and nice touch on the container

I was stunned when it said 0 meters. So dad pulled out some rocks and boom

After a few DNF im glad to end the day with a Found and happy tfc

Second time here and got ya this time, sneeky hide. Found with ABCDF4. TFTC.

Second time here and got ya this time, sneeky hide. Found with EyeSpyBen TFTC.

It was a tricky one to find but glad we searched all the holes in the wall to find it in the end. Had no treasures to swap but we could write our name in the log

Great find!

Easily found, although it could be easily muggle by rubbish collectors due to the prevalence in the area! TFTC

Easy to find.

Needed a cache for dot day today and was heading to a friend for lunch so detoured to this 'on the way'.

Quick find by NZIceman who went to the correct side whilst I followed the GPS direction which pointed me elsewhere.

Thanks for the cache.

First log of the day and didn't want to wonder too far as I only had an hour.
Interesting container! I approached the GZ and it was very obvious from the hint.
Nice easy first cache. TFTC

Quick & easy find - & on a nice sunny afternoon too! TFTC

Tftc nice and easy

Unfortunately I didn't have a pen to sign but what a cute little geocache

Thank you

Got me

Good hide

Really well hidden 30min find

Enjoyed the search .And yeah was on the wrong side for a while.

Not there

Didn't read the clues looked on the wrong side for a while
Then found

Well it’s still there - well hidden - accurate coords

Not there

No go for as

Wandered over fora search while waiting for our new car to be groomed. Looked high and low as well as about waist. But only found waste.

I know where I would hide a cache here, but I just found rubbish.

No luck for me and mine. Maybe another day.

On my second attempt found it. Well, no point crying over spilt milk I guess. Tftc

Very cool cache and Miss 5 loved that she could swap treasures. TFTC!

Second of the day. Rummaged through to no avail.

Time for another wander round while my wife stays with some friends in Pukekohe. This was day 2 where I was torn between getting numbers or clearing an area. In either case I managed to pick up this cache and everything is all good here, TFTC

Coords spot on! Cool container. TFTC

Good hiding spot - tftgc

Down this way on an unsuccessful mission to find a party for my poor old car. At least I found this nicely hidden cache... thanks!

Quick find here, good hiding spot. Always a shame to find decent sized 'containers' empty so we dropped some swag and a tb, photo log because i forgot a pen dammit

Noticed a few interesting characters out and about as we wandered down the road to GZ, but they were all headed in the opposite direction so we were able to hunt about without any issue. Nice quick find after taking a side each and we were away again to the next. TFTC

Well well the only DNF here is mine I don`t know what has happened that day Today started here. Started my bike trip in the area. Geocaching trip of course. First find of the day. All good at GZ. TFTC

I was nearby for a CITO and on the way home so popped in here for a quick look to see if I could find the cache. It didn't take long to walk to GZ and I had an inkling of what the hiding technique would be.

Not quite in the first spot I looked but after searching a couple of spots soon found the cache. Noted that another CITO attendee had had the same idea as me and had popped through. Thanks to GSEL for replacing the log, bag and container - it is standing up well and the cache is in good condition. Thanks to the CO for placing the original cache for me to come and look for. All good here.

Found this one after finishing CITO nearby. The third spot that I tried was the right one.
Thanks for hiding!

On an early morning caching mission, 2 of the clan hatched a plan to make an early morning trip north and to find enough caches to qualify for the Planetary Pursuit. Careful planning was made and we had a very enjoyable hunting out the caches. Thanks also go out to all the cache owners who have placed and maintained the caches.

Cache was very exposed. Signed log and re-hid as I believe was initially intended. Owner, please PM me if you want details. Tftc

Getting around to logging older finds. Felt like i hit a 'brick wall' when i first started my search but i was able to figure it out. Tftc

Dnf ...

Cache number 3539 and day 116 of my current streak. Needed a cache today in order to keep my streak going and this one fitted the bill as I was in the area. Walked over to GZ and assumed where it would be. I walked around for a bit before I was able to get my hands on it. Nicely hidden. All quiet today so I was able to look in peace. Thank you for the placement.

Nice easy find while waiting for hospice shop 2 open. TFTC

Found with Aiden29 - no problems with locating the cache in one of the first places we looked.

No one around when we went to find the cache, but the street sure got real busy as we tried to leave. Nice quick find.

It was all quiet here today and found the cache after a brief search.

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . TFTC

Looked for this one several months ago without success; check again today as we were going to be in the area and found it had been replaced. Quick stop and grab this morning. TFTC.

#3232. Today I headed out around the city to pick up quite a few challenge caches and any other traditional caches that happened to be nearby. Caching on a public holiday is useful as the traffic is quite light in the city and most businesses were all closed. After doing a few caches in Onehunga, I headed down the motorway to Wattle Downs. I parked near this cache and headed over to the GZ. It was a nice quick find but surprised to find the cache in a plastic bag with no container. The log was soaked and I was unable to write on it. So dug out a new log sheet from the caching kit, plus a plastic bag and also had an empty pill container in there. So all of these are now placed back at the hiding spot. Thanks for hiding it here.

Found bag and paper easily , but no container in sight . Sorry about that, as it sounds as though originally it was a great one !

Certainly unusual to find a cache without a container, just a log in a bag. Thanks.

Found the plastic bag and some paper on the ground so have temporarily put it back together. TFTH

Here for the Coldplay concert tonight. Found the bag and Aslan found some paper but needs repair.

Cache needs urgent repair.

Got a phone call from the Squirrel that he was travelling to Auckland to drop a family member off and did I want to meet up and come for a ride. Nothing planned so meeting point was arranged and I was the passenger for the afternoon.

This cache badly needs some repairs done to it. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... A flying visit while dropping a family member at a table tennis tournament...

Talk about chance... We stopped at the nearby second hand shop. A quick scan of the geomap revealed this hide... A short walk later and we arrived. There were all sorts of trashy items in the crevices, and we feared having to dig through it. In the neighbouring nook, we spied an odd container with no lid. On closer inspection, we noticed the markings of a cache. Further in, we found an empty bag without a logbook. This was beyond our capabilities to fix, so we returned the bits where we found them. We are claiming this as found... It needs CO attention. TFTC.

Love the pun of the container! Nice hide! Tftc.

loved the cache , fav point from me
al intact.

could almost be a grotty area

Nice choice of cache container, links well with title.

Tftc. Out with pricefamily6 trying to bump up the numbers to get to 500. This makes 482. A very novel container

Working out this way and on a bit of a mission to clear some dot days. A bit of time to spare before the next appointment and a beautiful sunny day yay a chance to find a cache. No parking where expected as lots of orange cones lining the road, so a quick detour was taken. Took some time to find the cache more due to the fact I was caching with my phone. Very cool cache container. TFTC.

Vistra and I went out to make the most of the day and grab some of the caches around the airport, parked across the road and quickly made our way to GZ, quick search soon revealed the cache. TFTC.

Joined up with yorkshirekiwi83 today to tackle some South Auckland caches and after a busy morning of caching we decided to continue with the ever growing Grotty series. Soon found this nicely themed cache, TFTC!

Nice hide like the camo tftc

Was out with Lumpy29508 on Jan 1st, & he saw this cache, but I said it couldn't be. Came back with EmCeKiwi who actually pulled cache out of hidey hole. One very embarrassed mummy cacher who will have to take back junior to sign log also.

Crusing5 was moaning today about this so I suggested we have a quick drive by. After not finding it where her gps said it was I expanded the search and soon spotted something odd. Getting a closer look I started laughing - what an ingenious idea for the cache.
After turning around Crusing5 saw what was in my hand and started cussing - turns out junior cacher had found it on an earlier visit but C5 thought it was rubbish.
Cache was soon signed and replaced - twice as I forgot I used your pencil and tried to take it with me (good job I empty my pockets when I get in the car).
Thanks for a great cache.

First cache of the new year. went to find this one before breakfast this morning to get the souvenir & before the rain starts!

My last day in Auckland today so I thought I might as well head off for an early morning drive to this area and find a few caches round here. Nice hide and a cleverly themed cache container too. TFTC, Biggles.

Excellent hiding place and container Found with my 2.5 year old daughter who loved it. Dropped koala TB.

Had some Christmas tree related business in Takanini this morning, so came early to avoid the worst of the traffic and make a couple of morning cache finds. Parked and walked to GZ where the nicely themed container was soon located. Thanks.

Doing some caching after our Xmas Shopping

A group of us have accepted a challenge to complete a fifty day streak. Today is day 3, and we were pleased to have a successful find here. Love the cache container. Found with purply and darthcacher1.

Tftc. Nice themed container

Found this on our way up to my sister's house at Takanini from Rotorua. This was a different container I have never come across before. Tftc

Tricky hide Took me a while TFTC and greetings from Czech Republic!

A quick find today while we were in the area, and needed a find for the day. A cool container, nicely themed! Thanks for the cache.
