Hi BrownscacheDiversBCDThis 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

In town for a few days for a wedding and all the stuff that goes along with it, hiccup, burp etc. Today it was an early morning run by myself through the forest tracks today. This was not too hard, not too easy once I found my way onto the track in the dark.

Um, pines and weedy undergrowth now. This definitely looks like an old road formation, and a couple of ebikers assured us it was an easy track.

We didn’t have a pen
 
24-Oct-20
We tried to access the track from the Totara St carpark - not advisable! Went back down to the street where the track started, and parked the car across the street.
A nice walk through the tall trees and had the track to ourselves this afternoon. I looked on the wrong side of the track while SW checked out the "right" side and he found the cache. TFTC.

Decided the weather wasn't looking too good today so wandering the trails around Geraldine looked to be the answer. Quick find here. tftc
 
23-Dec-19
Quick find as we continue on our route - unable to sign the papier-mâché log! TFTC
 
23-Dec-19
Unusable log sheet.
 
23-Dec-19
The cache is there, but the log paper is too wet to sign. Just fragments of blotting paper. The glucosamine bottle may have been used to ward off arthritis, but it doesn’t ward off rain!
 
good to go

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.
 
20-Dec-19
During our round trip on the South Island we searched and found some caches, this one was also there.
We made a small hike through the forest and passed by here as well. The condition of the cache is very bad, so I do a photo-log.

Thank you very much for this cache say

Today the next tour with Vesperugo in Geraldine. It is a wonderful Region and we liked it so much to walk, explore and search the boxes.
Thanks to the precise coordinates we could found quickly.

Once I had found the accessway to this cache, it was but a short walk and a quick find. So it wasn't really a riddle for me. TFTC BCD.
 
28-May-18
I'm very familiar with the forest walks through here but not these bike tracks. I've had a couple of caches with a play on the name of the reserve myself (when there was only about one other cache in Geraldine). Obviously everything is in "Good health" here. TFTC # 12,574

Had to ask the neighbours if we were on the right track. Should've clicked with the title, but we are "bears with very little brain" as Winnie the P would say. Really enjoyed the stroll on a shady flat track. Good fun.

Nice quick find after the local event. Tftc onto the next one to clear the area again. Tftc
