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 a prior reviewer note.
Hi juuju5
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.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Somehow my 2 consecutive DNF filter didn't remove this list from my gps. 4 months has gone by since the CO stated he/she would check. Maybe this cache should be archived.
Will try to check out the cache in the next couple of weeks to find out its state and whether it needs replacing.
Third DNF for the day v 3 finds - I hope these stats are going to improve. I had a search in all the several obvious spots but reading Gracie7+Mum's log I'm sure I found the big rock which seems to be recently moved as the grass underneath was only starting to die off. Think this one has gone which seems a bit strange.
*Another good find going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*

A nice quick find thanks. Slowly starting the trek home.
Ms_KR and I cruised around South Canterbury today, then headed home. The weather was very good despite the stormy forecast, with only a little rain, and that was while we were out walking.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Isn't it amazing where these memorials spring up? I expect the landscape may have been very different in bygone days. Found with Lytteltonwitch today before the weather turned really grotty. TFTC 
Missed this one last time here so as tea was cooking at the naked chip ,cached up and back to the inlaws ! TFTC
#15741. This spot isn't somewhere I'd expect to find one. Well worth a cache here. TFTC.
Our last day in Waimate, so we thought we'd better find some Waimate caches before heading back home to Christchurch . We set out at 8am on a grey dismal morning, eager to find as many caches as possible before the forecast rain started (luckily it remained dry until late morning).
A wee detour on our way back to Chch, but a lovely wee memorial on a back road and nice views as promised. TFTC.

Day 2 of our 6-Day End of the Year caching trip to Dunedin. A quick easy find here. Thats a heavy rock for such a little cache, which is still in good condition. Thanks for placing the cache and adding to our smilies today. Happy Caching 
Nice quick stop on this beautiful weekend day.
I'm on a 5 day caching trip in the south island. Have a few aims - right now its to up a few specific caches that I need to complete my grid for a challenge - and find some interesting caches on the way
1800km later I can say I've accomplished my aim!

1800km later I can say I've accomplished my aim!These small farming areas must have been devastated by the number of young men lost in the wars. Thanks for the opportunity to visit another memorial and pay our respects. TFTC
I scouted around the memorial while fellow cacher searched the surrounding area. Found reasonably quickly. Thanks
Grabbed on the way home from work today, looks like I saved the snail from being squashed by the stone. Cheers for the cache.
A quick find on an afternoon trip to find some of the caches on this side of Waimate. Intriguing to find a memorial such as this in such an isolated spot, I guess there must have been more of a community here in the past. Signed log, TFTC
Tiki tour Tuesday for me , still recovering from a recent caching spill a couple of weeks ago with a sore knee so good excuse to head out on the road for all those wayward caches you just don't get round to finding , headed north to the raiakia last weekend so today it was the waitaki's turn .couldn't have picked a nicer day.
nice quick find tftc

One of the first caches we ever found back in 2009 was at this spot. Nice to come back again. TFTC
Found in our way back to CHCH after a few days away hut bagging and geocaching. Random memorial tftc
tftcHere I am, still locating caches in the Waimate District and having a ball.
Cheers for the cache.
Cheers for the cache.
finished the day with a find after 3 DNF. 
lovely memorial here, did not expect to see in the middle of nowhere, wonder about the significance of the rock on top.
