Bison Rampage (Auckland) Drury, North Island, New Zealand

I am 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 HeMaLuDyThis 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.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

No joy here

It may have been here at some point but gone now

Felt it was worth a try, but not to be

Wasnt there

Had a look around but couldn’t find anything here today. Our daughter has signed up for football so we’ll be back another time.

Had a good look in the trees but couldn’t find. The grounds cleaner was friendly, he was concerned why I was looking at some trees haha

Another Sunday off south looking for a few colours quick stop.for a couple of caches tftc

This geocash was very funny to find, easy to see

Carried out a maintenance check today. The ziptie was still there but no sign of container. Could not not find the container that Geckoh kindly placed either. Have replaced the cache container at the same co-ordinates.

Did not find

Found a ziptie but nothing hanging from it . 18/12/22

Found with toby84

Found orignal hanging location (as mentioned in the previous log as well), as well as the new replacement. Found with Reny90

We were passing by the area and thought we would stop and have a look for this one. It was definitely gone, as we found the zip tie at GZ which we believe the original cache was attached to. We happened to have a nice shiny new green bison container with us so thought we would help the adopted CO out and replace the cache so that it can stay in play. Hope that is alright. TFTC

Here with a previous finder, definitely gone damn muggles!

Nice place to hide

Nice

Logs full ️

Log is full, but still a nice search. TFTC!

Wet log.. love seeing these cutie ones.

Eight time of year for that one!

Nice quick find

Found by Blenheim Bear out with TaraTed for the Auckland Mega, picked up a few caches on our way around. Thanks for the cache all good today. Blenheim Bear

FINALLY we get to attend the MEGA. Attending as part of Team BoP. We have a load of solved puzzles and whilst we are concentrating on those, won’t pass up on trads either.

I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

another park easy one, thought this might be harder than it was, it sure could have been, now onto the next one, tftc

Third find at this lovely park. Good to be caching here when there's no sport on because of lack of muggles, but locked toilets were a disadvantage! Thanks to CO for placing this.

1st Find

Eng. my first find

Thanks nice little find

Just been out for a nice lunch at a local pub & thought I'd try my luck - got it! TFTC

Close to a gym I frequent, though I'd try a different kind of exercise this morning.

Easy first find of the day! Tftc

Much easier to find in winter

Nice cache, beware of the bison I say, and you may find it.
TFTC

Was driving south today and decided to swing by the fields here for a couple of caches. Really good coordinates and I soon spotted a broken cable tie near eye level (seems the tree branch has gotten bigger since this cache was placed, and has caused the tie to snap). After another quick look around I spotted the bison in the mud on the ground, so popped back to the cache mobile to grab a fresh cable tie, and replaced as it should be, in the original spot. I've never stopped at the park here before, so thanks for the reason to visit, cheers

Found it.

Heading up to Northland to meet the kids for Christmas. Decided to pull off the motorway and potter up the Great South road to collect some caches. Lots of muggles around today, but walking the geohound is always a good distraction. Cache all fine. TFTC

Nice and easy find, thanks, needs another sign log thingy.

Tftc.

Easy find. Thanks

Easy find

Found during brief visit in Drury for Tuna fishing! All good here. Simply and effective.

Nice and easy
Allok
Thanks

Finally a easy one!

Out with Godfrey h for the evening. Had to detour a bit to get our first one of the evening. Parked up further up the road and walked back. Spotted cache and signed log, then spotted suspicious muggles as Godfreyh was returning cache. Walked back to car with cache, and muggles drove off, Walked back to replace cache as we found it.

Found together with DoandHopers.

Easy find

Bison Rampage (Auckland) was transferred from purply to user HeMaLuDy

Nice quick find here, all was quiet, and all was good with the cache

Nice easy find - final one for the day

Cool one. Easy find

Nice easy find. Cleaning up a few on our way to do a drop off. Tftc

At football for Summer soccer. A nice easy find. Too many people around to write in the log

Such a fun find!! Very creative

I have been striking it lucky recently with hides like these. Looking in winter makes it a lot easier and I'm grateful for it. TFTC # 14,320

A nice quick find due to there being no muggles around as well as the tree having no leaves at this time of year. Thanks purply for a great hide.

Brilliant! Glad I ended up using the hint! That will be a tricky one in spring - fantastic! TFTC!

Easy winter find. I would guess a lot harder in summer.

Almost time to get on the motorway for home, but first we wanted one more cache. We were able to park quite close to GZ and found the cache easily enough despite there being quite a few people watching a football game not too far away. Thanks.

Drove up very close and spotted it immediately. Amazing isn't it what muggles don't notice. Tftc

Time for another wander round while my wife stays with some friends. I was a little lonely today but still managed a good haul which included this little cache. Found quickly thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Cheers & TFTC

Heading down the motorway and then across to the west to Glenbrook Vintage Railway. A work colleague of Scotties was retiring and he had organised a train journey to Waiuku stopping at the local Cossie Club for dinner and drinks before the return trip back. Great night out.

Normally we struggle with these bison's in a tree but not this evening. Parked right next to the correct piece of fauna and spotted the beast from the car. All good, TFTC

Today we made the last long journey (from Waitomo to Auckland) during our New Zealand trip traveling. As we had plenty of time on our way over there we made several stops to find cache en drop off trackables where needed. Thanks to all the owners for hiding and maintaining them.

Easy park and grab...

Wow, a new Geo experience for me today. Usually have enough trouble finding one container, but here , I was presented with two. Decisions, decisions.
Wish this happened more often.
TFTCs.

Woo hoo. Two in a row. Have increased my success rate by 100%. Found a second log in a container on the ground so attached it to existing one. Not 100% sure it's meant to be there. TFTC.

Was out this way grabbing a few XaXe caches and stopped here to grab 3 round this field as well. Nice quick find. TFTC

Ou collecting nearby challenge and puzzle finals with jard1037, he was up 4-0 on finds but I opened my account on this cache with a quick find.

Found this easily hanging around as it should be. Tftc

Not a lot happening here this morning. Parked in car park and walked. Nice easy find once I was at the correct tree.

Cricket in full swing here today. Had 2 grandchildren in tow finding caches. All good here

Nice and easy find. Not much natural camo around at the moment though... Found on the first morning after the school holidays. I treated myself with caching on a nice and sunny day of spring. Aaaah. Thanks for hiding. TFTC

A quick find, awkward with the training taking place. Hopefully they were all to busy to notice what I was up to.

I'm surprised to see this still hanging around as it's very exposed at the moment. Better in summer. TFTC.

Cheers. Nice spot.

Nice! W Skellor

Quick find during the winter. Harder during summer I imagine. It's gumboots weather here today to watch soccer.

GAR was attending a dog event and I did a spot of caching today while we were in the area. This was the closest to the car when I parked so, naturally, I stopped by to make the find. No problem this time of year - more a problem trying to make sure no-one saw me! Thanks for the hide purply - and getting my day off to a good start (it went downhill not long after )!

nice wee hide about for the day with abcdf4 to kill a few more caches what a great hide tftc.

On my way to Whangarei nice wee hide tftc

Dear Cache Owners,
I am a German guy who stays in New Zealand for eight months.
My English is not perfect, so please don't wonder or be angry if my log entries sound a bit strange. Thanks!

Quick find after two DNF's.
Thanks for hiding!

Lucky 2nd time round. Tftc.

I was a bit early for coffee with a friend nearby, so this filled in a couple of minutes.

TFTC

Cool hide

Got em

Nice and easy for a first one chuurrr

I stopped off in Drury for a break on the way back to Auckland. Found the odd cache while I was here. TFTC

Quick pit stop on our way home to Rotorua. Nice quick find here this evening and no muggles around.

Beautiful sunny Saturday, I was surprised there was practically no one around besides one dude and his dogs. I had fun triangulating the cache by walking along the top of the wooden fence. Until I hit frost and fell off.

Log later

Cache replaced, Happy Caching

Dnf

Thought we knew where it should be but couldn't find it.

No luck with this one. Trees bare of leaves and also checked two "nearby" shrubs a bit couldn't find anything

Did a few circuits but didn't spot it this time

all is good with this one

A few bad experiences have caused these to be our most dreaded caches but thankfully we found this one quickly. Tftc

Log to follow

A nice quick find after walking the geohounds. Tftc

TFTC. often pass this spot but have never taken the time to stop and grab this one. nice and quiet at fields today so thought it was a good time to add it to our found list.
