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 Goodie7110

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

Missing

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A repeat dnf for me

Cache not there? DNF

Cache is missing.

Having an afternoon introducing our granddaughter to caching - unfortunately we couldn't find this one. The 'locals' came out to assist as they'd been watching us searching for a while and even they said it appears to be gone...

after work hours cleaning the inner town ones. two homeless getting ready for bed near by but out of view.

Found it! This one was awesome! Never seen a container like this before!

Day 4 Auckland to Gisborne

Weather was perfect to travel along from Auckland, Tauranga, Opotiki to Gisborne route. Beautiful scenery all the way. Found it. Good one. Thanks dragon gem for placing this cache

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia

Great cache. I haven't seen one like this before. Staying two nights in town getting a few caches. Never been here before

DNF

I must admit I might've been one of those who in my early inexperienced days might've looked under the grates etc here but today it was a quick find. Never seen a container like this before. TFTC

Cool hide. Took a bit to find, great find

Super cool the people who worked there gave us some help

On holiday around the East Coast.
A magical find on a very quiet cool cloudy Sunday afternoon. A unique? hide.

TFTC

Quite easy. Thanks heaps

Late Sunday afternoon- after waiting 20 mins for muggles to leave a quick and very cool find TFTC

Found nice and quick on my way home, great cache, love these types! TFTC.

Loved the hide! TFTC

Very cool cache, thanks!! ️

This had been a planned trip in the company of HKCB to Whangarei but as the weather wasn't the best in the north we thought we would bring this trip forward and head over here to see what we could locate as neither of us had done a whole lot around this area.
Leaving home 7pm Friday evening and returning by midnite Saturday, 954kms travelled and approx. 70 caches located along with about 8 DNF's.
Thanks to all the CO's whom have put out these caches for us and completing the maintenance to keep them going.
The start of a new day and after a few hours sleep it was time to see what we could find with the real challenge being the new virtual as that was a primary goal for the trip. With the light up and no rain the day was looking good for a few caches. Had the place to ourselves and a great little cache container

Thank you for the placement, thanks for the cache.

This weekend had been booked into headed to Whangarei with Cats&Dragons for a bit of caching, but as the weather wasn't looking flash at all, so we decided to head East instead to Gisbourne as we both hadn't done much caching in te area. Leave home about 7pm Friday, and returning home midnight Saturday meant we got a fair bit of caching time in for the limited time we had. All up we found just under 70 caches in total, so a big thanks for all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches we found on this trip.

No issues here, thanks for the hide.

Haha.. I love this! I wondered what it could be.. looked around a bit.. had a slight idea, which was quickly turned to 'hey, why dont I just pick this item that virtually screams "I'm a geocache!"?'.. FP awarded =)

Found at 17:21 - #8551 - on a 5 week trip in New Zealand

TFTC

Tftc!

Brilliant !!!

Found it! Very hard to find, gotta look at the “bright side” of things to find this one

Not the best start to the day!

No sign of it this time

Bugger DNF for us tonight had a good look but didnt see the light.
May come back before weekends finished if we get time .

Found likely location but unfortunately not a find for us tonight

I think I found the right place, but no cache. Missing?

Nice little cache container
Have done a couple of this persons before and always something different.

Awesome cache! Log book needs replacing though

Mum was in Gisborne for work, and this cache was close to her motel - so her morning walk purposely went past this point. At 5:50am she was a bit apprehensive about looking for the cache - but the area was well lit and appeared safe.
Didn't understand the hint, but quickly spotted the camoed cache - loved it! Surprised it hasn't been muggled.

Very good location blends in

Very good spot almost over looked it

In Gisborne for my first work trip to the area for the year. Nice to see some new caches published since my last trip in November last year. Usually when I arrive in Gisborne, I have an evening meeting so today it was quite a change to arrive and have a free evening ahead of me. What to do, what to do? A bit of caching of course!

Pulled up here and spotted the likely host. Being familiar with this CO’s caches in New Plymouth, I knew it would be a clever camo, however I spotted it immediately. TFTC

Found with stasi. Felt pretty silly after finding it right infront of our eyes

Cool hide! Hidden in plain sight;) tftc

Brilliant! Staying just up the road and this was the nearest. Great find worth a favourite point. TFTC

Couldn't find it

Quick find here, very cool cache! Log is full though, we just managed to squeeze us in as 'H+M'. Tftc

This one gets a favourite point for cache construction. Nicely done!

Not having much luck at this game

First one Iv come across of this type. Tftc

Nice cache container, giving this a fave point. Tftc

Quite sneaky love it

Cute hiding place while hidden

Found w/ sheahuhugrub, favourite cache so far TFTC heads up to owner - log is full to brim, couldn't add on.

Don't know why, but I was instantly drawn to one object at GZ, and straight away spotted something odd, and it contained a log book.
Log is full, I took the last spot, but really struggled to get my pen to work at all on this log.

TFTC

Off the Golden Princess cruise ship, and we hired a car so we could cache our way around town. This was our 4th find for the day and probably the one we spent the most time at. Took us about 20 minutes before Cathylm spotted something and sure enough, thats what we are looking for. A bit frustrating as I saw it but paid no attention to it. A great hide. A little frustrating as one of the friendly salvos popped out to see if we found it. Could have done it about 10 minutes earlier LOL
Thanks for the fun.
A favourite point from me for the novel hide

Number 4 of 13 found around the area today whilst on a day trip caching off the beautiful Golden Princess and number 51 of 76 found in our 6 days caching around NZ.

What a great cache! We searched high and low and were considering giving up when i spotted something - and YES it was the cache. Never seen one like this -LOVE IT! Just as i was signing the log a friendly salvo muggle came out to see if i had found it. I mean really! Couldn't have come out earlier and saved us 20 minutes?? lol Had a chat to her about how long since they have last seen a cacher here.

Thanks for the cache. A favourite point for an ingenious container.

G'day from Australia!

Halo, Halo, where are you?

Found while out for a walk after tea.
I couldn't find this one last year.
But this time I had a previous finder with me, which made it a lot easier.
Nice hide.
Thanks.

Fortunately the area was deserted this morning, as we spent a long time looking for this cache, even although we were looking all around the hiding place. It is certainly a very sneaky and unique hide, which has to earn a favourite from us. TFTC

Sehr, sehr niedlich gemacht

Excellent container!

Very cool. Love the camo. Tftc

At last. It certainly wasn't there last time! Thanks.

Thanks so much
dragon gem !
Never seen anything like this in my life ...very cute !
Enjoying my holiday down here....

Tftc, logbook almost full

Cool thanks! It lit up my life

So so so cuuute

Foundit

Got it awesome idea!

TFTC. Great cache.

Was in Gisborne today for work and after completing the work part of my day I set out for Napier for another appointment the next day. But before leaving I decided to grab a quick bite at the local bakery and noticed that a cache was nearby! Never let a caching moment pass you by - I always say! So I parked near GZ and after reading some details on the cache, headed to GZ and made a surprisingly quick find, something was just out of place and sure enough it was the clever cache. TFTC!

Yay, finally found this after a random walk took me past the spot. Cool case. Thanks.

After a bike ride to Wainui this morning, we returned to our accommodation for a coffee and a leisurely lunch before heading out again for some more exploration of Gisborne, and to find some more caches, of course. The CANZ Gisborne cache was on the must find list for today as we have the info from all the other North Island caches in the series (apart from the semi final).
We weren't sure what to expect here, but once at GZ, it didn't take long for StreetWalker to find the cache (all quiet on a Sunday afternoon) after I had searched at the wrong altitude. Nice hide and enjoyed the cache name too. TFTC.

#11992. Sunday afternoon proved to be a good time to look for this cache; the area was deserted. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache. I found it on 26/02/16 at 4:48 PM. Quick find I a new container for us. Very nice cache

Auntie Sally's help was brilliant as she indicated the path to our enlightenment. TFTC

Nice cache

I searched for this one, but didn't like to disturb the place the GPS led me to. Noone around to give me a hint either. I will try for it again.

One of the best ones I've found.

Awesome use of a genuine Geocache fake of a real item. A member mentioned nothing needs disturbing....however that is not exactly true. Being tall helps as well

Not even with the help of an army could we spot this one.
Yes, the Sally Army workers from the office came to our aid and they too were disappointed that this one might have disappeared. We were getting lovely helpful quotes from the bible such as "I am the way, I am the l_ _ _ t" etc. but sadly to no avail. We were even offered sustenance after our valiant efforts.
Many thanks for the challenge and greetings from Scotland.

Don't be shy to really get in there

Wow this one was hard went with clues but couldn't find spent about 30 minutes looking in wrong places finally enlisted some help and was in original place just have to really look

Clever hide TFTC

TB visit

Shine bright like a diamond!

Hard but cool when we sore it

Bright idea! A bit of a struggle at first tho! Clever very clever! Found with TACO

Said hi to Tina!
Never seen a container like that before
Luv it
Tflc

My favourite geocache

I really enjoyed this one very clever

Such a cool hide and cool cache. We had some trouble getting the log out, but managed. Such a good idea. Fave point from us!

Finally found this one. Never seen one like before. Super cool!

On holiday from the UK and touring New Zealand for 30 days in a campervan. Sadly this is a DNF which frustrated us so much as we really want to find a cache in this town as it is our most easterly destination and this is our 4th DNF. Luckily we did bag a couple later but you do have some clever hides in these parts! We must have spent 30 minutes hunting, one of the friendly locals even came out and said "you're in the right area", but we could see nothing to help us. TFTC

One of the coolest I've found.

cheeky hide and clue haha.

pen failed us so be back to sign asap

Clever hide. Looked around for a bit and couldn't spot any clues so got reinforcements from the car and Mr JP spotted instantly. A clever cache and first one we have seen. Thank you

Me and my friend failed 3 including this one the first night we tried Geocaching but done and dusted! Very cute idea.

Found it

Hmmmm, this one stumped us - and we were being watched... we'll come back and try again... maybe we'll use our PAF option

Had a good look around without touching anything, but didn't spot anything. The hint didn't mean anything to me.
