Opening

Hi Riser5This 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

Thanks

Checked on this cache while checking others out here. The trees that the cache was located in have been poisoned and no longer. Cache will need to be moved the the native still alive trees nearby.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Couldn’t find it today! Followed what everyone else
Said about being 13ms out. Wonder if it’s been cut down since the trees were pruned recently

TFTC! Found after about 15 mins of searching.PH + DS

Good hide and nice hanging not under things

I’ve never walked this area before because I hate the smell of petroleum, but now Marsden refinery has been decommissioned I found this walk delightful. Reading the logs helped here so we knew to check several trees. Tftc

Found it. Thanks for the tip gov saved us a long search

Second time look. Co-ords are 12 mtrs out. Found it. A new smiley face. Good hide by the way, thanks

Think we found where but no sign of it

Found with Cympul. Took a bit of time but found after reading other activities. TFC

Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches.
Found with Fisha1288.
Aprox 13m away
Cheers, Cympull.

Two trees to choose from. Not found in either. Another day

Took a bit of finding. My coordinates 14 meters out.

Took me a while but got there after searching several trees!

YES! Why couldn't I see that b4. Wrong tree, little blind and needed a hint to know actually what I was looking for.

Out and about having fun caching today. Beauti day for a beach walk and was super happy to find and turn into a smilie thx.

Found it! Coordinates were quite out for us but checked surrounding trees and found this tiny cache!

Don't know where it is hanging

TB dip

1338. 1:09 pm. DNF avenged on replacement geocache. TFTC(that is not the last one).

Unfortunately the kids and I couldn’t find this one. Perhaps if the next person finds it, confirms it’s three and maybe another hint as to what tree? Then we will come back die another look

Found it good one

rain

Nice easy find thanks to previous logs. TFTC

Quick park and grab thanks to the hints from previous finds. TFGC

After a long search co words way out found in good ordertftc

After checking a likely candidate I noticed the previous log, and shifted my search to the next one along, and bingo spotted this nice replacement, cheers guys

Another nice find

My gps was 12 metres out.

Seems to be missing...to help out some fellow cachers I have replaced it with one of my nanos.
If this is not acceptable you can replace it yourselves and keep my nano !

Too good for me today. Hmm will put on my watch list.

DNF. Looked on the way in and on the way out. No joy here today.

Found on a beautiful sunny day. What a nice spot, quiet surrounded by birds on the beach. Thanks

Found it! No pen. Kingsley and Connor had a fight over who found it first. What a beautiful spot.

Did a circuit of the refinery via Mair road and the beach.

That's one Big pile of wood chips, very impressive. Quick find once we decided on the tree, TFTC

Once we got the right tree it was a quick find . Thanks

Nice find while in the area with tmann421 today
Enjoying the trip north and the caches
Signed log as tm/ww NZ

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!
TFTC

Yay. Nice find. Didn’t have a pen on me as wasn’t meant to be cacheing but thanks!

In the area today exploring whilst staying at Uretiti camp ground with friends..... have not been to this part of the country before ...that I can remember, so thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC.

Quick find on the meander path as we explored the area. Thanks for the cache.

Found it. Looked a bit further and yesss. TFTC

Expanded search, easily spotted x 1st Geocache

Quick find , TFTC

Yellow pollen everywhere

A spooky raining cache day, thanks for the inspiration to end up here!!! Tftc

Little soldiers.

Got it took longer than should have great views TFTC

TFTC

Found on an unplanned sidetrip. TFTC

This is our second attempt at this one..... Spotted it before we reach the tree. Do not understand your of us searching last here could not find it...... beautiful spot. Tftc

Easy find after a trip to the refinery. Nice place to walk dog.

This was another cache I'd previously not found. I said to the kids it's one of these 4 trees. My daughter said, "this is gz" so I asked her to read previous logs for a hint. We searched three of the trees well then headed to the fourth where we spotted it straight away. Again I'm sure it was not like that last time or I'd have spotted it then. Glad to get another find, thanks

Good little cache to help show my parents what geocaching is and they can’t wait to find some more around the area.

This is a Pre-Log, a detailed text will follow!

Arrived at our fishing trip a little too early. Stopped here for pie and cache

12.00pm. Took a while but found quickly once we tried the right tree.
Thank you. David and Samuel.

Read the logs about the coordinates being out. It helps

Had a visit to the refinery here. Got to know your chemistry

Found it after a quick fish off the wharf. Tftc

This is one of your more testing hides Riser lol spotted from a far maybe its grown in stature...a nice quick find a sign between rain showers thanks Riser and Ashanator

We meandered on the beach before realizing it was on the grass walkway. Awesome views over ti where we are headed. Thanks for the cache

Popped up here as you do after visiting the Marsden Visitor center. TFTC

I was staying in Pahi with the Jags and Aiden29 for Easter so plans were made to collect as many caches as we could while we were up north. We found the co-ords a little out here but a quick find once we extended our search area

We decided to get way for Easter and stay in Pahi with Merlot58 and Aiden29. Its an easy find when you have the right tree.

Headed up North with Jag50 and Merlot58 to stay in Pahi for the long weekend. We were at Marsden point, and headed up this way to find caches in the area. Expanded search area then this was finally located.

Getting along fine, not too hot yet. Thanks.

Nice quick find here which was nice after a series of DNF's at some previous caches, co-ords out by about 12m for us but maybe that has been our problems up to now. Anyway, nice to make a find. TFTC

Hunted for ages needs a check

My phone GPS couldn't pinpoint an exact gz so I hunted in lots of trees but just couldn't spot it today. Nevermind, thanks anyway

Nice quick find heading our way home Huntly

Nice hide

Back out at Marsden Point, so called in to check out this one. Once I identified which tree, the cache was a quick find. Some of the other trees have painted rocks in them though. TFTC

Meandered to the cache after visiting nearby Info Centre.Quick find.Tftc

Another 1

Beautiful day for a quick grab. Will come back on our way home to do some more. Great spot to watch the ships going in and out.

Was not hanging when we found it.... Put back up

Easy find once we figured out which tree!

Found after a little bit of searching

Bird found it after we located the correct tree. Only just hanging. TFTC

Found it quickly once we decided on which tree!

Fun find with grandies

Yay! Another one for the day. GPS indicates a little to the left. But it's in a usual place.TFTC

Still In the exact same place.

Coords were off for us, took us to an area between 2 maybe 3 trees. Searched all around but found nothing

Searched but to no avail.... GPS was bouncing around like crazy so not even sure looking in right placry

Looked hard but to many people watching me.

Placed with Riser5

Yay! Poppa J took the lead to nab this FTF with me not far behind! A lovely, sunny but somewhat windy day at the point. TFTC

Yeah first to find out and about with scout n about . Tftc
