Under Undergrowth Te Rapa, North Island, New Zealand
By MillsandLills on 25-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T80A

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 MillsandLills

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.

No one out there. It's still very quite on the street. I went out for a short bike ride. I have been searching for a while but quit when the rain started serious.

Had a look but too difficult unless I used the private road for easy access. Also neighbours around so left it alone.

Getting towards the end of my caching day and the finds are becoming few and far between.
No undergrowth here. Only yukky flax bushes and shrubs with quite open areas in between.
The dog in the neighbouring house did not appreciate my presence either.
Not under any shrubs that I looked under. Been a while since it has been found.
Maybe the CO could pass by to check on it.

Didnt spot it in time allocated

Seeing as I was in the area I thought it would be a shame not to find this cache. Turned out easier than what I thought once I got to GZ.

Cache was quickly in hand and it was time to get back to work. TFTC.

Decided to get the bike out and head over to do some bike trails and few other caches in the northern area. The weather was beautiful and I loved the nice path and great bridges. Thanks to the COs for some great cache placements. Back today for another look and after a PAF I got confirmation that I was looking in the right spot. Bit harder look away a little from that horrible stuff. Cache all good and there even if not a nice area TFTC

Team BOP team up once again for an impromptu pre-Xmas caching mission in the Waikato.
Squirrel nutcase had his list of recent caches to clear the area again, Flossy had a few targeted, while Myself, Jandals and DC were going with the flow.

Whats worse than searching for a cache in flax? Searching for a cache in wet flax. It was now raining and we lost interest very quickly with the GPS sending us all over the place.

Had a good poke around for ages, unfortunately not there for us today. Thanks anyway.

No luck here today may have to revisit

Much as I hate flax hides, this one wasn't too bad due to good co-ordinates. Surprisingly long time since this was last found (August 2017) according to the logbook. TFTC.

Walkled a bit but found it soon after 1st GC of the day early in the morning I beat we will have time for one more GC

On way north, so decided why not take a detour and find a cache. Having seen this one was found not long ago I decided to have a bash. Last year I didn't have any luck, so was going to be ok with not finding it again... After climbing a fence and navigating my way around so didn't get too dirty I finally finally spotted it! yay! one more on the path found. onwards and upwards

Decided to get the bike transferred from the mobile home to the cachemobile for a little ride beside the Waikato Expressway to pick up the odd cache.

Parked the cachemobile nearby to access the cycleway.

Cheers for the cache.

No worries here today, search didn't take more than 5 mins max and I had me a cache log to sign. Moving around Hamilton today caching here and there before heading home to Auckland.

log later

Easy find but wasn't quite the description i would use but near enough.

Found while out with Sunroller great find.

Nice and easy one for the PH's to find.
Looking forward to searching far and wide for more

Time for a walk tonight...decided it was better for me than visiting late night at the base. Glad to have a quick find this time around...time to head back so last one of the night. Tftc

My wretched iPhone had a '10m' away moment here - I was 10m away no matter where I stood or how far I walked. Too hot to search through all the undergrowth so will come back when it is cooler.

Last one for the day...nice hidey hole exact location! Next time we will try biking. TFTC!

News Years Day, perfect for a series of driveby and walkbys in the Waikato. With no-one around parking was pretty easy. Thanks.

Needing a cache to fill a dot day - had hoped we might get mor than one today, however everyone was tired and grumpy from a prior activity this was going to be the only cache found today. Was great to find a cache in such good condition - everything clean and dry. TFTC

loved this one after a lot of searching
.On a mission today to find 120 + as a team of 4. All logs signed Naki 4
Team is Blenheim Bear Thatsneat Tmninjaturtle and 2 Bulbars.
It was a fun filled day finding many sorts of different caches and visiting many interesting places.
Many thanks to all who placed these caches to help make it such an enjoyable day

Found this with the team "Naki 4" (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, TMNinjaTurtle and myself) on our mission from Huntly to Hamilton on our hunt to 120. Was a long day but pleased to have it completed! Thank you for the cache.

This one was an almost DNF but yay finally we found it!!

Found this cache during the Naki 4 team (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtle and That’s Neat) run on the 120 caches in one day on the 3rd Oct. Many thanks Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. TFTC! Blenheim Bear

While my sister is having her surgery, thought I would do some caching, dropped 3 trackables off here

after a very refreshing ride this was a quick and easy find, tftc

Caching outing #2 today. Start of walk from here.

Had an unexpected few hours around Te Rapa today, waiting for my sickly car to be fixed, and decided a walk was a much better option than hanging around the shops at the Base. Did a 9km circuit that included this cycle/walkway with the added bonus of a few caches along the way. Had to outwait the rural postie here who was dropping off mail nearby. After that, it was a nice quick find here. TFTC

Yay!!!! Third find today!

Took a bit longer than it should have, cheers for the placement.

The end of a fun weekend playing diplomacy in Taupo and grabbing a few geocaches in the area. Just one more as the light faded on our trip home and a last chance to let the geodog stretch his legs before we legged it up state highway 1 back to Auckland. Surprised such a big cache could elude me but the fading light proved to by my saviour as a switched the torch on the phone on and picked up a flash of white. Grabbed the TB to get it moving again. TFTC.

Nice day for a walk so we parked up nearby and set off, after a quick search we found the cache,, the area has been sprayed to kill off some grass..dropped off TB. [8]

Afterwork caching mission #7 for the night. Great spot for cycling. TFTC

Nice easy find. Good co-ords. Tftc

Warfi was quickly on to this one. Thanks

I found this cache awhile back but forgot to log it. Since i couldn't remember the date i thought I would 'start fresh'. The undergrowth has been cleared back since last time, but the cache is still safe and sound. TFTC

This where I had arranged to meet Ryan and there was no problems with the find. TFTC

Simple find and easy clue TFTC

Done and dusted! TFTC!

Found it, easy find.

Out on the bike in Hamilton

Great Stuff

TFTC

Another great find while in the area with Just-Lookin.

Thanks for setting up this cache - having fun touring around.

On a short road trip with tmann421. Enjoyed the area collecting caches along the way.

TFTC

Another stop on our bike-ride along-side the Expressway. This was a fairly easy find.
+ a marble, - nothing.

The cache lived up to its name. Fortunately, there was a telltale flash of white that made the find easier. TFTC.

Had trouble finding this one yesterday so back today and found yahoo

Nice find with Steed and Peel.

Found while out on a walk with Tui10. This is as far as we got today. We found the other two we passed as well and Tui signed them, but I was just creating easy sleevies (something up my sleeve) for dot days. Thanks for the new placements.

12.20pm - Easy drive to location and soon spotted cache. SLTFTC

Queen's Birthday Monday (An extra day of caching). Another raid into Hamilton with Gap (of Fap and Gap).

A very quick find here. Walked straight to it. TFTC.

Easy find here...TFTC

We had our sons birthday party today and another birthday after that to attend so to keep our streak alive and tick off another dot day I headed out in heavy rain late at night to grab this cache which looked (and thankfully was) an easy find. I used to live out this was and it blows me away how much it has changed with the new SH1 extension. Roads I use to bike down don't exist, have moved or like this one come to a dead end. The cache had some interesting swag items but ITLN. TFTC.

Didn't have much time after work to locate a cache for the day, as was meeting up with friends at the pub. This one was the closest and looked like the easiest to access nearby. Had a small blip as I tried to access from the wrong side of the main road, but a small detour around to the other side got me pretty close to GZ. A short walk and a nice quick find. Thanks for the placement.

This morning on waking up I decided that my good wife deserved a treat so out to breakfast we went and this was to be followed by a couple of short walks. She knows me well that this meant that a cache or two may be in the offering, so provided the breakfast, company and coffee were good, then yes we could go for a "WALK".

As it had been a while since I had collected many caches around Hamilton I will consider this today, my "Backyard Maintenance" although saying that you can't be too enthusiastic as you always need to leave something for another day.
This was the seventh for the day (and this was the after breakfast walk I had promised Mrs Dragon). This was as we got back to the car so made a quick find, surprising how many cars still head down this way to get into hamilton before realising the new road layout

thanks for the placement

A nice large container for sure. Easy find thanks

A nice easy quick find


Found on 4 May 2015 16:20 by the McCutchan Cache Clan, this is our 2375 geocache found. Logged from a Samsung Galaxy S IV

Yay! Success with this find. Nice hides these along this great cycleway. Thanks very much MillsandLills

859 Looked yesterday but must have been trying too hard. Walked straight to it today.

When one has spent half the night travelling round the country collecting caches and is then allowed a sleep in whilst said significant other goes to work... what should one do? Sleep in... Nah where's the fun in that. I am doing some 'cleaning up' not of my house, but the Hamilton caches that I have been putting off.

Out for a nice little walk getting these caches, the rest can wait for when I have another free day. Quickly found this one thankfully as car loads of bikes were rolling in.

Got the bikes out and went searching. quick find to start the days adventures. TFTC

A good find to start our afternoon off. TFTC

??

FTF. Whipped two wheeled geo-grinder out from back of vehicle. Rain coat on and off ... Coords spot on. Great to see the blank log. Nobody but I is silly enough to venture out in this weather ... or are they?Cheers for this placement.

No problems tracking this down in the dark although the torch light was barely cutting it lol. Nevertheless TFTC, and the trail that I'll slowly tick off

nice hide tftc

Nice wee hide and nice walk for the afternoon with EyespyBen thanks
