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 Jodiporsche

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

I had a second look on my going out of town and no just no cache to be found here

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Couldnt find the cache.

Had a very good look but no luck.

This was another DNF unfortunately! i hunted for some time so i will keep a watch on this I then continued up the drive to the nearby cache .
I think this one needs a check -on !

Unfortunately wasnt able to find this one will have another go another time

Tried this on our way home at night and had a fair clue of what we were looking for but sadly just didnt manage it so must try again

Rick-a-mortis was here OZR3RZ

Awesome trip to Hastings

TFTC

DNF!

Can't find it

Next time!

I had just found the nearby TMGT cache and was about to drive off when I realised that there was another cache only 15m from where I was parked. So naturally I wandered over and after using the hint I made a fairly quick find. Signed log, TFTC.

First cache of the day, what a beautie. After 3 tries and fails I’m glad this is the one. TFTC

Found with watcache. Fairly quick and easy find. Tftx

Nice find here today cache all good signed the log with xsaveya . Tftc

I am not sure this is a D1.5 looking and the searches. The GPS was pointing me into the middle of the garden and I was not going to jump in, especially considering the signage about surveillance cameras.

Stopped for a visit while passing through, took a little while to locate this one TFTC.

(# 5530). On a trip up to the Bay to grab a few caches and took check out a work mate who up here to play cricket for Wellington A. A quick find after initially wandering what the hint meant. Everything in order. TFTC

Off to a bit of a rocky start but with a bit of determination we found it

Great site.

Nope

Gone

???

We spent a while looking for this cache, but it didn't seem to be at any of the logical places, and it was difficult to search the garden easily without damaging it.

No rocks as per hint.

Great to be able to avenge my earlier DNF on this one.

Took an extra pair of eyes to help me locate it. There has been an abundance of Spring growth in the garden at GZ since my last visit here.

Pleased to convert this one into a smiley. ThanksFTC.

Where oh where is this little cache stashed. I know it's there somewhere...

in Hastings for a couple of days and thought I might track down a few caches. Rain was threatening so didn't have a great deal of time. Had a bit of a rummage around but couldn't find this one.

got up at 4.30am this morning to leave by 5.30am traffic at this time was almost nil great time to travel. have been wanting to grab some caches over here for the hidden creatures, this looked like the only place that didn't have rain didnt manage the amount I wanted but, turned out to be a lovely day and got home around 6pm
- took a couple of good sweeps before making the find

On our way home on a very drizzly winter day, decided on a whim to drop by and give this another crack. Our hopes weren't very high but what do you know? There's the little blighter, very well hidden, and we didn't get too wet in the time it took to find. Wooohoooo!!! Great little hide and very pleased to sign the log TFTC

Unfortunately didnt find this cache, was the last one on our list of seven today. Muggles nearby were being a bit of a pain and it looks like there has been a bit of work being done to the front fence. so didnt spend a lot of time in case the cache has been disturbed. putting on our watch list though. Would love to tick this one off.

Thought we knew what we were looking for but no find today unfortunately. Looks like an interesting place to visit.

Stumped!!

I was driving through the Hawkes Bay and stopped to grab some of what I thought would be easy drivebys. Turns out some were easier than others! A good day of finds. Thanks.

Quick find. Hoping to get to 900 finds today. Tftc

Great hide. Qwesy!

Quick find as I had an idea of what I was looking for. All good at GZ. Thanks for another smilie.

Did you know that planning has started for a Mega Event in Wellington in 2018? Check out the details on the [Wellington Event NZ (WENZ) Website](https://sites.google.com/site/wenzgeo2018/home) or visit the event's page on [FaceBook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/590545297801072/)

Thanks to the Cache Owner who has gone to the trouble of creating this cache, determining the coordinates and then averaging them to make sure they are accurate, placing the cache and registering it online for our enjoyment. Without Cache Owners doing their bit, there wouldn't be a fun hobby that we all love - so again a big THANK YOU. For our bit, all we need to do is find and log the cache that was carefully placed for our personal enjoyment. As we log it we should consider that the Cache Owner also needs to maintain it - when the log sheet fills up, they must replace it. When the container becomes full of water, they need to empty it. When the container is broken, they need to repair it. When it goes missing they need to find or replace it. Well..... the great news is we can do our bit too - make sure your log doesn't take an entire page - just a name and date. If full of water, empty and dry the cache as best as possible. Be careful when handling the cache and make sure you replace it where you found it. If it has a bag, seal it. Just remember - the Cache Owner showed respect to you by placing the cache - please respect them and fellow cachers that follow you by being careful with the cache. And if you have a spare log sheet and the cache you are at needs one, please leave it behind. Finally, if the cache does need maintenance, please let the Cache Owner know - you can log a Maintenance Log or you can drop a line to the Cache Owner. Above all - have fun and remember the Geocaching Code.

Stone by the stone drive

CZECH
prohledal jsem obvyklá místa, pak jsem sáhl na jedno a měl jsem v ruce to správné
nechápu, proč někdo do takové kešky něco cpe, když se tam vejde sotva logbook

First find for the day, on our way back to Wellington. Nicely placed, TFTC

My GPS was insisting the cache was inside the grounds but I ignored it and soon had the cache in hand.

No trouble with this one today. First cache in the Hawkes Bay. 3 January 2017 17:49 GH6710 T F T C Jodiporsche

This rocks

TFTC.

Nice and easy thanks!

Our early caching with MacGyverson - took a bit longer than it should have despite figuring what we were looking for. Signed log and left as found - thanks for the placement.

Yep that was an easy find despite the co ordinates jumping wildly around and around. Lots of traffic. Tfyc.

GPS jumping around a bit but I knew what I was looking for so persevered and was rewarded. TFTC .

have had a quick look another time but found pretty quickly today TFTC

Little damp but still good. Tftc

On a urgent trip to the Hastings area I was under strict instructions from Mrs NZT to get a cache. This one just happened to be on my way to my customer so made a quick stop. Felt very conspicuous on such a busy road. Made the find and retreated to the car for signing duties. Had to answer my phone when replacing so this gave me a but of a reason to look like I was wandering around. TFTC

Phew. Was a bit worried there for a minute. Thanx to the "placers" for the help.

Yahoooooo. On a flying business road trip to Hastings today. While waiting for hubby. I checked my phone and yes a wee cache just 500 mths away. So off I trot and bingo a nice quick find. So back along the footpath and back to reading my book waiting. Tftc made my day.

Came back today and found it nice and easily TFTC

Cool container. Well hidden!

?? we'll be back

Nice little spot alot of muggles

Great hide, had to be stealthy as there was a dude selling oranges nearby.

Found it easy to find

Nice, been hoping to find one of these sometime, tftc ☺

2nd time found. Can't believe we missed it

Great container!

Very clever

Knew we were looking for this type of cache but couldn't spot it for the life of us last time! This time was easy peasy TFTC

Very neat hiding place

Cool hide

A quick, straightforward find which is a good thing alongside this busy road where it's hard to be stealthy. Interesting to be brought here to see this lovely old house being used now for such a worthwhile purpose. Thanks for bringing us here jodiporsche.

Nice quick find

Very quick find in the bitter wind! Thanks

No muggles around this morning to trouble us. It took a little while to track this one down, but we got there eventually.
Thanks for hiding this cache jodiporsche

Clever hide, tftc!

My whanau was one of the main reasons this place is up and running i recommend people go in and check it out

Quick park and grab on our way home from a huge day out caching

Well camouflaged! I called in after bowling a couple of weeks ago for a quick look, but was too dark to see much. Still took some looking in daylight!

Found with Nic-Jay. Apologies for the belated log!

Found on a sedate 3-day road trip to Napier with Infoferret.
A fairly quick find. Nice container, it blends in well with its surroundings.
