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 iammrwalkerThis 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

Maybe washed away?

Missing

Still missing

Found the rock but no cache

Found the rock but no sign of a cache

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

After failing to spot this yesterday, I returned with rattll this morning. She had a hunt around where she'd found the cache earlier this year, also without success. No trace of the container at GZ. Could the CO check please?

Didnt find it

Nice to easy one, all good here. Tftc

Found

Found with Vamber

Another straightforward find today with gracelesskelly. TFTC

Thank you

Clever

Third cache for the day. Once again had to wait as a few dog walkers went past. Not a Berocca tube like the description says but found it all the same. TFTC

Hahaha little bit of a totem pole going on

A quick find here. The fun part was getting the rock to balance back on top of the cache the way i found it. Thanks for the cache.

Finally found as had moved quite a bit.

Yay

Back for another visit so decided to have another go at this while I was passing on my walk.
Nice and easy this time around thanks to a previous finder moving it back to an easy reach.
I left an alphabet stone- the letter P.
Thanks for setting this up

We stayed here overnight in our campervan. So we couldn’t leave this place without finding these ones!
TFTC!

Greetings from BC, Canada.

We are a family of 5 on vacation in New Zealand. Cachers in the family include BeesKnees34, SOB_4M, AlexBN16 and me. We have been enjoying the beautiful landscape and visiting some awesome locations.

Stopping along the way to grab some cool caches. We targeted high favourite, old caches, different cache types and some other caches along our routes.

Thanks to all the cache owners for creating, placing and maintaining these great geocaches!

Thanks iammrwalker for the fun cache!

Another good find. Plastic bag was wet but it’s contents were dry. TFTC

No rock but something else

TFTC

SC Freedom camping here for the weekend so we can walk around the Lake & do all the Caches. Thanks to all the CO's !

It was right under the bridge moved it back to its original place under the rock, took a while to find it

Replaced to the correct hint location

Found a rock but not the cache

12.50pm. Another one soon in hand.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

TFTC! Phovie vs mum 3-4

Lots of rain this morning, but when it got a bit lighter we set out to find our first New Zealand caches! Had lots of fun hiking around the lake and seeing new birds, and finding caches of course. Great place to camp and explore, TFTC!

Another bike n grab

Nice easy find

Out with Morgo finding a few caches

TFTC

Cutting a lap around the lake and learning about the area’s history.

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We are now in the North Island of New Zealand for two weeks seeing family and finding caches.

iammrwalker, I found Ngaroto#9 -Small bridge today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found floating, Dried it, double bagged log and replaced correctly. tftc. Caching with Louf71.Over from the UK visiting family in Te Kuiti, exploring the north island and caching!So we're taking trips where we stay for a few days/week at a time before moving on to somewhere else or a few places before going back to spend time with family and back out again on another adventure. Having just done a trip to Cambridge and the Bay of Plenty we've gone back to Te Kuiti. Looking like it was going to be a nice day we set the plan to walk the lake with J's mum and sister. (Sorry for the very very late Log, between limited Data, some issues with our travel, some personal issues and a build up meaning the ADHD couldn't cope tackling these but finally getting logged Please forgive)

Found floating. Dried it, double bagged log and replaced correctly.tftc.

Had certainly been some recent high water around here.

We were afraid of the Rwandan (reinhold
Bros) couldn’t locate?????¿¿¿

Nice

Found the spot as could see where it had been. Rock in place. No cache. High water all around. May have floated away

Nothing to see here?

Super chill spot. Thanks!

.

No luck for us with this one

Haven’t been geocaching in many years but found this one by accident floating by the bridge, and now seen all the ones I missed maybe this will spark a renewed interest not sure where it was supposed to be and not really anywhere to secure it maybe owner will need to come check on it

TFTC

Found it!

Yes

Yay

????

Found on my 6 weeks holiday.

Decided to book the caregiver for Junior cacher.....first time since the Covid-19 lockdown starting August 2021, and headed down here for a cycle and to collect a few caches about......

Continued on around the lake seeing more dead fish baking in the sun making the smell stronger........

Had to travel in this anti clockwise direction as we were cycling...as per the sign at the start....

TFTC.
