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 TJAY & RAPTOR

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. 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, any caches archived due to lack of cache owner maintenance are not able to be unarchived in the future.

Regards
The Coddiwompler

Another quick stop on the wway home we thought but looked longer than we had anticipated and then GAR discovered a pile of DNFs on this cache so we gave up at that point.

DNFs since 2017...

DNF this one then not surprised as it’s been missing awhile. Time to be archived.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I am making my way north of Dargaville to attend a family function this Boxing Day. I thought I would find a few hides to help break up the journey. A short search failed to yield the goods. With no find in over a year and a bunch of DNF logs, I think it might be time for a CO check, I would politely suggest.

Won’t bother given all the DNF’s. Maybe it should be checked or archived

We had a quick search and an even quicker DNF. That's life. Take it easy, bro.

We had a good search, but didn't find it.

No luck here today

A quick stop on our way back to Auckland this evening. Had a real good look for this one but the only thing i could find was a munzee. Might need checking as theres only one place that matches the hint here.

On our way to Auckland for the CRC Speedshow so we thought a few quick "stop and snatch" caches would be a good idea Unfortunately the weather was not the best for driving or caching so after a couple of caches we decided enough.

This one was a quick find and there was a good place to pull off the busy highway. Unfortunately while grabbing the cache and signing the log all the slow vehicles we had recently passed got back in front of us. One of the problems with caching on a busy main highway while on a road trip.

Dinky little container.

Tftf

A stop on the drive back to Hamilton after attending the country music festival in Paihia. Another cache giving me the opportunity to stop. There was very little traffic on the road when I pulled over but as I got near the cache they came from no where. Managed to grab between cars and take back to the motor home for signing. Could here another line of traffic coming so waddled quickly back to hide before they arrived. Thanks for the cache placement.

A very quick find on our Drive back to Auckland. Tftc and greatings from germany.

Heading back to Auckland airport today I stopped for a number of easy finds.
This was one of them.
Thanks

Nice quick find. TFTC.

#3998. The last day of my short visit to Auckland and closing in on 4000 finds. Decided a trip up north was in order to pick up a special cache. Just needed to find 14 other caches on the way. Parked across the road and walked back. A muggle parked in a nearby car was watching me so spent a while looking at the nearby bush reserve until he drove off. Then felt for the cache and soon had it in hand. Signed the log and replaced where found. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for this quick drive-by.

Got this one on my 4 day mini break up this way !
Thanks for placement !

Had just overtaken a truck down the road and built a little bit of a gap so we could pull in and nab this one. Having to pick them up now, cause later in the week I'll have muggles in the car and they probably won't last more than 2 or 3...

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

Flying trip to aucks. Nice to collect a few along the way.

Stopped here on our way north for a quick PnG and to continue my daily streak. TFTC

On our trip through New Zealand we found this cache today. A wonderful Indian Summer Day!
New Zealand is great!
TFTC

Off on a flying visit to Akl today, but needed to make sure we picked uip some caches along the way as well. First stop was this one, as there was plenty of room to pull over safely. Happened to stop right at GZ, so cache was a quick find.

TFTC

Quick grab. Thanks.

Today was another nice day for our holiday trip in new zealand were we of course also found some caches along the way.

Today we took a trip from kerikeri back to Auckland.

This is one of them. thank you for maintaining this cache.

We are on our way from Auckland to the north. The landscape is very varied and the streets go up and down. Of course, we had to sign the one or the other cache, of course. A nice area.
Many thanks to the owner and many greetings from Germany the Moorhelmis

Nice and easy

Chasing down some caches for the South 36 challenge while travelling south after a flying visit to Whangarei. TFTC

A quick stop and a quick find on our way back south. Nice little box, but the geocoin had already moved on, and the TB we had left was to big to fit in. TFTC!

As soon as we pulled up we knew exactly what kind of hide it was, signed and back in the car. Picked up TB, thanks

Heading South back to Auckland, I stopped right beside GZ and quickly found the cache here. Dropped off a small geocoin that I was carrying. TFTC!

Nice and easy with a safe parking spot for us and our trailer. Thanks for the cache.

tftc found it while holidaying in northland

Found with ozlad while holidaying in Northland. Tftc!

After a visit to see Utopia, on my way back to Auckland i took a short stop here to search this cache. This didn't take me long and now my name is in this caches log too.
The german visitor on his New Zealand vacation says thank you for hiding and maintaining this cache

***No muggles were harmed while searching, finding and logging this cache...***

found

Mangawhai to Auckland.
Today we drove back to the city, our holiday comming to an end.
So much going on in the last couple of days so I have not been able to log this untill we arrived back in Aussie.
Thanks for placing this cache TJAY & RAPTOR

Quick find in the way to the mega

Quick easy stop off and grab. Cache had 3 snails living on it, had to remove to get in to cache to sign log

Doing a bit of maintenance on some of my caches up this way while I was in the area. After completing all the ground work decided to grab a few new caches in the area. Wasn't planning on getting this on but still had a little bit more time so headed a few more km's up the road to this one. No troubles with the hide.

Time to head back down the line after my week in Whangarei. Was originally planning to stay in Hamilton, but didn't realise the All Blacks were playing there tonight, so then looked at Taupo, but all accommodation is booked out there too, so Rotorua ended up being my target for the day, caching on the way. Another cache, another stop. Another easy find. TFTC

Easy grab.

???

Yupp

Again looking in the wrong place I was looking at the sign not it's location LOL
TFTC

Out very early. Large moon out this morning. Love the container and easy grab. TFTC

Another quick find and another minute found. I saw this series of new caches pop up a while back but couldn't justify the petrol and time for a FTF mission. I was tempted though. Thanks for more easy roadside caches on our journey to the big smoke

After spending the weekend in Paihia we had to drive back to Auckland. Decided to stop at a few "roadside" caches on the way home to break up the trip. Cache was well hidden and quickly spotted. Signed the log book and continued on our way home. TFTC.

Team Welsh and I grabbed this one on the way back to Auckland. T4tc

We had saved a few caches to do on the way south that were on the correct side of the road. Could almost reach this one from the car but had to get out. Cute little cache, thanks

Easy pick up, TFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... On a flying visit to Northland with the intention of finding very old caches and anything else that is within short walking distance of the vehicle. The gloomy, black sky is an indication that rain is only a minute away...

Another quick stop park and grab. Luckily, traffic is fairly light, or this could have been quite tricky heading north. TFTC.

The Squirrel and my plans for the weekend was to log as many old caches as possible to go towards completing another challenge. This meant a lot of kilometres driving and a bit of forward planning and plus collect as many other caches as we could. The plan was to travel to KawaKawa Bay and stay at Hemi's uncles home.
Early start Saturday morning with our goal to get to KawaKawa. Google tells me its 266 Kilometres one way, but with caching who knows how many km's it will be.
Left Rotorua after work on Friday with a stop for dinner (Cambridge Roast House). Next stop Huntly for a coffee and a chat with fellow cachers, then on to KawaKawa Bay. No caches done on this leg.
Early start Saturday morning to achieve our goal.

11.25am - Even though we were heading north, big enough gap in traffic to cross sides of the road and park right beside cache. Can only be in one place. SLTFTC

Could see it as we drive up.......log signed and tucked away with a few rocks in front. Thanks for the cache

(1930) On our way to the Mahurangi area to do some caching today. So nice to pick up some roadside caches along the way. TFTC

Was driving back after the get out of doors event at Mount Manaia, and had to stop for this one.

Pretty much just dropped dark, but this was a nice quick find. TFTC
