Driveway to Nowhere? (Otago) Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand
By KiwiAoraki on 26-Jun-18. Waypoint GC7RRFQ

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.

Hi KiwiAoraki

This 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.

Easy find. Needs maintenance. Log book sodden and impossible to write on - cracked container.

TFTC

Easy find. Needs maintenance. Container needs replacing and new log book. Thanks

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Not to be found....

Looks like a favourite spot for unsavoury activities by the rubbish we found.

There are a lot of sharp vines

We are skiing and traveling and we might try and find this geocache

Interesting driveway, not well maintained, and lots of thrones towards the end, we couldn't anything either, maybe it has gone missing, or is hidden under too many thrones!

Ce géocacheur a signalé que la cache semble avoir disparu.

Located spot but no parcel

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

DNF. Hint spells out exactly where it should be, but... nothing. Well and truly needs a check, especially with pokey bits hanging around GZ.

Do much blackberry and rubbish to look hard for this one

Went past here as part of a u-turn process, so stopped. Brambles overhanging... made way through... area full of rubbish... checked both sides of hint object, found nothing. Impossible to search wider because of the blackberry - grateful to get out again without ripping clothes! Don't think this is a good spot anymore...

Due to COVID-19 restrictions easing, I'm re-enabling my caches. Happy caching!

I'm disabling all of my caches due to COVID-19. Please let's all stay at home as much as possible and get through this together

Received some very weird looks when we tried to find this... TFTC!

Ouch, that hurt a bit

On the way back into town from the Skyline. Place is a little trashed, but the cache is still in place. TFTC

Tftc

To where? Over there? Nope behind here!

Mooi uitzicht, alleen plekje waar verstopt was was niet mooi en handig om in te zoeken...

Down in Queenstown for a long weekend and picking up a few caches before heading home. Quick cache here but a very grubby area now. TFTC

Lots of thorns. The container is cracked and the log wet. I was able to sign with gel pen. TYVM from Alabama.

Found with some scratches. Thanks

Found on my vacation in New Zealand. The container is broken and the logbook is wet

Managed to scoop a park along the road. Bit treacherous getting in & out of GZ without drawing blood (which I managed to do). TFTC

tftc

Tftc, but toi have to repair it!!!

Good find

Quelques caches à proximité de notre camping faites en soirée. Merci pour la pose... Mais sérieusement ? Cet emplacement était-il le meilleur ?!?!

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
Gently in and gentler out!
Log a bit damp.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! No problems locating GZ but oh, the thorns aren’t nice!

After an exhilarating trip on the Shotover River jet boat we return Ed to our hotel to dry off! We then took a peaceful walk around Queenstown.visiting a few caches along the way. SL. TFTC.

Found during a walk around Queenstown on the last in New Zealand. Thorny bushes attacked me on the way to GZ. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

We soon had this cache in hand. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Today I left beautiful Lake Wanaka and the sky was crying ... me too! I drove all the way to the southern point of New Zealand to Slope Point! On my way I stopped in Queensland and I enjoyed the day! Thanks for hiding all the caches along my way!

Found with tamargalit. TFTC

Found with talno. TFTC

The container is broken and the log pages are soaked. Needs replacement.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Uh oh, a lot of thorny bushes around GZ, but I made it together with Kurppanen and lurppadroopy. TFTC.

Not that nice place, but zaxa was brave enough to dive in. Thank you for the cache and greetings from Finland!

Driveway to rubbish and roses. TFTC and greetings from Finland

The container is broken and very vulnerable to future rainwater. I signed the fresh piece of paper a previous geocacher left behind. Watch the prickly brambles! They left me with a few scratches.

Found it
Not the best place to hide
The paper inside is all wet and damaged
TFTC

fast found. not the nicest place in Queenstown

Felt like we had to go on private property. TFTC!

Found and we have the scratches to prove it. We couldn't sign the log because it was a mass of paper pulp. The box was damaged and leaking. There were no travel bugs in it.

Pile of vomit, beer bottles and brambles. We gave up on this one, 1.5 should have been easy

On the way up to the Tiki Tail a had a short stop at this cache.
Thanks says js333

Found after heading back from the gondola station towards our hostel. It was a little difficult to get to without getting snagged, but I managed eventually. Log was damp but still able to be written on.
TFTC

Easy find when you have a good hound

I had a lovely day in Queenstown.
I went by boat and visited the mountain with the gondola.
I was able to find this cache and register in the LB.

Thanks for this cache says
Pöni.

Hunting in the dark by myself added to the excitement! I also added another piece of paper since, as others have noted, the container could do with a more waterproof replacement. Thanks for my first NZ cache!

After arriving in NZ, doing a short sleep, refreshing, this was the first stop I made, before I was looking for some dinner. So this is my first one in NZ.
tftc!

I liked this cache

TFTC

Easy find but too wet to sign

Quick find. Multiple logs to choose from - all a bit damp, managed to find a blank space. Tftc

Someone was working on the hint location and there were lots of bees, so we gave up quickly.

Thanks for the Q-town smiley!

My bf pooped here. Haha no he didn't but the log is wet & container cracked but that's got nothing to do with him

TFTC KiwiAoraki
The muggles were fooled by thinking that I was pooping. I was not pooping but I did get this cache. Watch for thorns.

As other people have said, the log was wet... we tore some paper off a chopstick packet as a replacement log! tftc:)

TFTC!

Might need replacing, quite a dirty area with many plants

Found it OK. Took the TB.
Probably needs some maintenance. Container is broken and log wet.
Not sure where the lane goes either?

First time in Queenstown and first find as well. Easy to find, just a little damp. TFTC

TFTC quickly found. Enjoying our walk around beautiful Queenstown

walked to luge and had a quick search. the guarding plants are quite spiky. TFTC

Easy to find but the logbook is still wet.
Tftc Füri

The cashe title and the hint left no doubt as to where this could be. The container is cracked but someone has kindly put it in a plastic bag so the log inside is not too wet.

Looking for a pie shop we walking near this cache so thought we may as well bag it! TFTC

Found it on our Queenstown tour. TFTC.

Found easily. Logs are damp, so wrapped the container in plastic for a bit better protection. Thanks from Canada.

Very easy, both logbooks are damp
TFTC

Tftc!

On our round trip in NZ we spent 2 days in Queenstown. On the way back from the gondola we found this cache . Greetings from Belgium.

Found it TFTC

Used the 5 minutes of sunshine today to do a small sucessful caching tour. Tftc

Easy find in a prickly place.

Maybe we didn’t look hard enough

Many thorns but a quick find. Thanks!

Tftc. Logbook all wet and run out.

Quick find ... when you look in the right spot. Don’t think the coffee had kicked in yet.
Grabbed the traceable to move on.

That is one mysterious driveway. TFTC

No trackables were in this. Added one all the way from Billings, MT (USA!) Cheers!

Wet and full log book but founded it.
