Logs
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 JodiporscheThis 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
Some mattress and looks pretty messy didn't know what I would find as looks like some1 was living there
Found location but as stated homeless are living in the bushes so didn't pursue any further.
Think this might have stolen it. Also someone still camping very near to location may need to be moved
Spent around 30mins searching far and wide but no luck. Lots of blackberry and thistles destroyed. The obvious tree right at GZ is empty as are all the others within 10m. Either I'm blind or the height in the hint refers to an elf or a giant.
Took me a bit longer to walk to this than I expected....but did not mind stretching my legs after watching 4 days of 10 yr olds playing cricket...Watch out for the blackberry plants...

Merci 4127me cache trouve.Merci Jodiporsche pour la cache I wasn't sure if I could get in here but taking the grand tour, it's easy. Thank you 4127th cache found.Thank you Jodiporsche for the cache
Searched for this one about half an hour before sunset, and there were about 8 rabbits nearby that promptly fled as we approached. Easily found, which is nice for young cachers with little patience! Left a plastic lion behind, which should be ok even though the container seems to be leaky. Tftc.
#13,053. I am heading back to Wellington today. Just managed to avoid any rain while looking for this one. Nice quick find. The log sheets were all screwed up. Wandering if muggles found the cache? Signed one of the sheets and replaced as found. Thanks Jodiporsche for the cache.
Found it! Very easy to find and found some little bits and bobs in there, didn't trade anything.
Luckily found this one quite quickly, as a few muggles around. Log a little wet. Tftc
Nice park, had to try not to look suspicious as a few muggles around. But found it quite quickly. Paper wet. Tftc
Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I now live full-time in our caravan & travel the country visiting places we want to visit … we are now parked up at the NZMCA Eriksen Road Campsite in Napier for the next few days … planning to get in a few days R&R riding some of the numerous bike tracks & trails around Napier, assuming the rain stays away … but if it doesn’t, then we’ll just chill in our caravan … decided we’d go over to Flaxmere & play some Disc Golf … & see what local caches we could find … this was an easy find, log completed & replaced … pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally … TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #3,419 for us.Found it out of place. The contents were soaked so the paper needs replacing.

Yet another (third in a row) in a series of random road trips around the country. This weekend brings me up to Napier via Palmerston North on Saturday and back home to Wellington via the Wairarapa on Sunday. With only a few real life commitments in between I had plenty of spare time for targeting some specific caches along the way. Some were selected to help me with my various geocaching goals, some were such fun puzzle solves that I just had to come and sign the log, and some are just because. This cache is one of them.
No problem here once I figured out how to get to the cache location.
Thanks to Jodiporsche for placing this cache here.

#1803. Day 4 of our (GB Leader and I) 10 day Hawkes Bay odyssey to watch grandsons play cricket. Second to last game for the elder grandson today, at Frimley Park, Hastings. Another nice ground with lots of trees surrounding the arena. A coffee caravan is doing good business.
We are staying at a unique homestay at Te Awanga surrounded by historic books, photos, maps and old suitcases. Fascinating place.
Went for a walk to find a couple of caches by this CO. The first one was a DNF, but upon consulting with the CO, I put in a replacement cache. This one was a walk further on, but the obvious GZ was empty. But widening the search revealed the cache lying on the ground inside an old tyre. Signed and replaced to match hint at true GZ. Covered in local camo. There are rabbits running around here.
Tftc Jodiporsche.

Quick one to find. Log was just dry enough to write my handle but it’s very grubby inside. TFTC
Fount it! Didn’t take anything. My boy was very happy.
Sadly, The log was wet and in very poor condition.

#12,255. A short walk to see the natives in Frimley, Hastings. GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Found after a short search. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

A short, early morning, stroll to GZ - there were rabbits shooting out from everywhere as we walked. Cache quickly located. Thank you for bringing us to this nice area. TFTC

I wonder if this cache has been moved. The co-ordinates lead to a picturesque setting in the natives. It wasn't there so I looked further ... I gave up! But, being a stubborn cacher, had one last look in a place that could have been a hiding place away from GZ. There it was! TFTC
while up in Hastings area i visited quite a few of the local caches and i found most i am pleased to say . after finding the first one on the track i continued on around and located this second one. Thank you for this cache . I took nothing and left nothing.
This was a nice secluded place to go cache hunting. As instructed, I replaced the cache as I found it - but it was well below the height of my knees!
