Uber Guber Opanuku River Multi - Use Caution... Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By Gorbygorbachov on 13-Nov-17. Waypoint GC7EWCG

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.

I have to elevate this cache more than the 4m above river level as it was, I'll get on to cache maintenance next week after I get my 10,000th cache!

After the MEGA, I shall attend to this, been thinking about an appropriate replacement seeing in a storm the water washes away the cache where I had put it.

After the recent superfloods we had in this area a few weeks ago, I thought it time to double check on my cache here. It's about 1m of the ground, gone... but the cache is about 4m above the stream level, debris everywhere around, large cabbage trees laying down on the ground and in the stream. So time to disable and find a new spot.

If anyone finds the bison anywhere down stream in the next 29km, it's probably mine....lol.

Doing some exercise on my bike, I thought I'd come back and replace the cache and the camo. All good to go people when you are able and comfortable about venturing out while covid is here.

I was going to disable this one, but I'm pretty sure I can replace the bison tomorrow and redo the camo all the while I'm doing my exercise on my bike along this excellent trail.

We solved the puzzle some time ago but we couldn’t find the cache but today we were lucky. Thanks for the nice hide.

Seems to be my New year thing, get Multis when I can instead of leaving them for another time. Took a moment to enjoy this art then set to doing the work. Headed off to GZ with a healthy checksum result and started the search. Evidence of someone's New Year sleepover nearby which put me off the search and I resorted to a PACO. He was very helpful and I can post this log with confidence of a nice find, and donate an FP for the CO. Cheers for the enjoyable cache

Second day in a row in Henderson for me. Came by yesterday and bought a digital picture frame, but couldn't get it to work as it was supposed to so a refund today, and some caching whilst in the area. On my list was the remainder of the blues clues puzzles and some other nearby options. Managed to beat the rain and do my chores, nice one.

Out picking up solved Blues Clues and came across this cool multi!
Thanks Gorby....awesome!
Favourite Point.
Can't believe how high the flooding came to!

Decided to come out this way today in between rain storms.

Oh man, how much rain must have dropped here???

The area was flooded to the walking path and you could spot debris everywhere!

Took a few minutes to figure out the puzzle and then off to the cache!

Fortunately the cache was safe!

All good here!

Thanks for the fun Multi!

Done some repairs and new log paper as well. Come along and investigate I say!

Found it this time. Could do with a new log. Really nice work.
TFTC

Thanks for the puzzle, Frustratingly my GPS kept jump at GZ. Will try again later.

Find number 6615. As I was passing I decided to have a quick look at this one. The numbers all fell into place for me so it was off to find the final. Thankfully it did not take too long. The log seem a bit fragile and started to come to pieces as I wrote on it. Thank you for the placement.

Nice quick find today. Exactly where coordinates sent me. Once again Fluro Urban camo allowed me to seamlessly blend in with the ground maintenance people. cheers V.

All good here, I have checked the cache and it's all good for people with a 10 day multi challenge!

What a lovely memorial. After checking with the CO I had the right coords it was all on to find the cache. Mr P did the honours. T4tc

I had an appointment in Henderson this afternoon so decided to leave a bit early and make a cache find on the way. Parked at the suggested location and walked to the interesting artwork. Once there it did not take long to come up with a set of co-ords that seemed very likely. I made my way to GZ and began looking for anything that looked like it could match that hint. After failing to see anything I was starting to doubt my data collection at the art or my maths. I just happened to be standing next to something - took a closer look and realised that was it. Very nice bit of camo work here. Thanks. Adding a favourite point.

Mr TW and I were waiting for paint to dry at home and caching for the afternoon was a much more attractive option than watching the paint dry. Really loved this multi, great theme and final was great. Many thanks and a fav point from us.

Out enjoying a bike ride along here, and came across this neat art work. Took a seat, and ran the numbers before coming up with the correct checksum. Headed over to the final, and had a short search before finding something a bit loose with my hand. Turns out to be a very cunning hide, nicely done. A short fun multi, gets a FP from me, cheers

Last cache for the day on a good day out with Agazo and Bennett24. Took the walk down here as the weather closed in a little but held off long enough for us to do the calculations for this cache together. The checksum was great and helped give us confidence that we had indeed done the calculations correctly.

Took the easy walk down to GZ and spent a while looking for the cache. Even with three of us the camo was Gorby style challenging and in the end it was Bennett24 who twigged to the manner of the camo. Very clever, and oh so Gorby. Signed the log and reassembled as befitting the cache.

Well done here, very worthwhile bringing us to this touching tribute to a good friend to many and an excellent cache to go with it. Enjoyed reading the cache page, well done too.

Out with Tuolei and Agazo our mission today was to pick up a few solved puzzles, the odd multi and whatever else we came across along the way.

This was the last for the day as the weather was beginning to turn. Have been here several times before with the bikes; but this time on foot gave a chance to have a look at the art work I had noticed before. With calcs done we off to the GZ; took a bit of searching but then had a thought and sure enough proved correct. Thanks for another great cache.

I was out with Bennett24 and Tuolei. By now the battery on my smartphone was dead, so I was relegated to assisting them in collecting the information needed to get to the next stage. As we moved over we saw something that was out of place, but at first we didn't find the cache. We followed the GPSr to several other places before we returned and made the find. Nifty placement Gorby. TFTC.

Had some time on my hands today so I decided to complete this multi which has been on my to do list for far too long. I am pleased you made this a multi so we would stop and appreciate the beautiful work. Sloshy underfoot but a quick find. Excellent work Gorby FP.

Had been sitting on the cords for quite a while so finally decided to finish it today. Took a while to find as I was distracted by something else nearby that could have been the hint. Finally found the right spot but found cache holder in pieces. Searched around and eventually found cache. Put it all back together so all good now. Tftc

DNF's this one last weekend but told by the CO that it definitely was there, I came back this morning for another search, this time successful. The cache was superbly camo-d and now I understand the hint. TFTC Gorby on Streak Day #495. Worthy of another FP

Was over this way this morning and wanted to grab this Multi as my 50th Multi find. Made quick work of the calculations and agreed with the checksum ..... but struggled at the final GZ. Will hafta come back.

Sorry for the confusion about 'word value' people!

Today at my event, I had a great chat with Pazzabella about different interpretations of that so have now reworded it to 'numerical value'. Hope this relieves the confusion and makes things simpler as the multi was intended to be! Happy caching people

Have been past many times but today enjoyed the time to check it out in detail. Had Super Nanny there to keep me on track so no drama and logical find.
A favourite from me. Tftc

I was looking at map last night and suddenly noticed a new local multi !
Very excited but decided to wait till morning as I'd had a long day and it was midnight!
Texted ric1942 and he was keen to meet me there .
Love the words and sentiment in the epithet....and the beautiful ceramic art and the stepping stones!
Only took a few minutes and I had all the numbers popped into my trusty phone.
The cache itself is excellently presented....another Gorby masterpiece...deserving of many favourites !
A real surprise this one !
Thanks Mike....can't wait for more of your quick and easy and satisfying Art Multis

It was a team effort for this one. I joined forces with Jag5, Pazza and Geocchi. We kept coming up with numbers that wouldn't make checksum, maybe we were using a different interpretation of word value, I don't know but after multi discussions amongst ourselves, Mrs Jag contacted the CO, got ubered or is it gubered to the correct track and not long after we were ubering over to make the find and a multi {FTF}

Well, Pazza and I have the day off for a wedding today so we went and visited our favourite dog walking spot first thing

We've earned a FTF here!!! First To Frustration!

Can't get anything to add up close to 1370 no matter how big an imagination [?] [?] [?]

Thanks for the multiple FTF! A multi for several reasons. It took multiple cachers multiple visits and multiple txts to make a find here. A beautifully done cache, but even though all our calculations were the same, they were out by multiples on the checksum!

The geohounds enjoyed the multiple visits here and got to see multiple rabbits on an early start to our day. Tftmc Gorby.

After a fal....... After a false sta........... After a false start we seemed to be making ground. Like others we had a few multiple cracks at this. OMG someone else about to get married too. After a number of calls, multiple texts, and multiple calculations and sharing of info we were Uber Gubered and multi'd out. Finally in desperation MrsJag50 decided to contact the CO. With a hint we shared the info with the rest of our Multi uber guber mates and raced off for a teamed up {FTF}. TFTC Gorby

now... can someone PLEASE come and find this cache!

Ooopps! Think I have made a mistake in the math, I will sort it out shortly!!

Ok.... problem sorted.
