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 zeusacaches

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.

Regards

Another DNF needs a check

certainly seems to be missing.

Not found. Almost certainly not there.

Assuming this cache is still MIA as we could find no sign of it like the previous seeker.

unfortunately i think this cache has been muggled... after searching every nook and cranny i managed to find the log book on the ground not far away from GZ C/O may need to replace cache

Couple of the papers were wet. But other than that nice find

very wet

I did not realise this lady was here. A geocache made me take note. SH1 is very busy but lucky you can be on an adjacent street avoiding SH1. TFTC

Just finished a walk around the lake. Tftc

Quick and easy find for the Murray whanau

Nice quick find. Having a rest break on the way from driving to Palmerston North to Auckland.

Found with my partner sianx on 05/06/20

Easy find just passing through

Great cache showing me new places around tokoroa ️ tftc

Nice quick Find at gz, a bit brisk this morning

Quick find on a beautiful sculpture. Filled another dot day. Fav point for the sculpture. Tftc

Awesome find. Did a little maintenance on this one

Quick drive by & 1st NZ find while road tripping with friends. TFTC

Nice thanks

A nice easy find thanks.

The inside of the container is saturated with water for some reason.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Such a cool sculpture. Tidied up the cache, made secure and returned to a protected spot for the next finder.

Shot ah

Bangbang

Shot ah.

Hard for me to find but my son found it easy as. TYFTC

Today I'm starting my road trip home from Auckland to Nelson with my newly acquired convertible cachemobile. I'm going to be finding a few caches along the way. Turned off the main road and found my way to the quieter side road near GZ. Walked up to the sculpture and found the cache after a short search. TFTC, Biggles.

On a weekend road trip with a muggle friend, who graciously stopped to allow a hunt. Had to wait out a bit of traffic before making the find. Back to the car only to discover driver has an aunty who lives very near by and we are off to visit. TFTC

Nice hiding spot, awesome meaning and history of the location!

Nice find while in the area with tmann421 today
Enjoying the trip and the caches
Signed the log tm/ww NZ

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
*We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area and good caches.*
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!
TFTC

A very quick find here today.
Signed the log and replaced as found

Driven by this so many times and never knew the meaning. Thanks for the Cache!

Super quick find

TFTC HNY CO

Nice easy quick find TFTC

Quick find - thank you so much. Tftc

#11,551. A short detour to Maraetai Road in Tokoroa to have a good look at the slender lady. Apart from passing traffic, GZ was all quiet at the time of the visit. Quick find. The cache container was a little broken, but the contents remained dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the write-up and placement, and for bringing us to this site, and …

Last day driving to Auckland from Taupo and grabbed this one filling gaps and gaining a new smiley face. Thanks CO for the cache.

Able to see as walked up to the site. interesting lady

A quick find while passing through. TFTC

Tftc,still guarding the feet

Our first cache for the day heading towards Hamilton then back to taupo great weather but why not get a cache or two while out and about a nice quick find early this morning no muggles around thank you for placing a cache here

Interesting sculpture

Nice quick find on this tiki tour of Tokoroa. The container is a little the worse for wear and could do with replacement. TFTC.

Stopped of the grab this one on a freezing cold day. No problem with the find TFTC.

Quick park and grab on our return journey North. Took longer to squeeze the logs into the plastic bag and into the cracked cache container.

Another find on my way North

Doing a road trip with my husband Stretch0 and passing through today we decided to pick up few caches on our way - cache found and log signed ( the log may need attention soon it is a bit mushed - did find a small spot to sign) Thanks for the cache

A quick find on our 2019 North Island road trip. tftc

Easy find

Cool hiding spot

Yay on my birthday trip to Whakapapa Stopped here and got a taste of cool temperatures. At least it has stopped raining one of the interesting sculptures here in Tokoroa. TFTC

Tftc (:

A slender lady indeed. We stopped here as a convenient spot to eat lunch and walked across to the cache and after assuming incorrectly the cache would be in a spot I found a Tokoroa cache (now archived) once before, adjusted my hunting spot and found the cache after looking in a likely looking spot.

The hard work done I got to go back and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Thanks for the cache, all good here.

Hehe kids looked an looked woohoo mum found it yeah we couldn’t right our name down as the paper was full we took my brother and His baby girl to there first catch

Yep burp chur

* Sunday 8th Nov 2020*
I'm currently on a weekend roadtrip up to the big smoke to attend a mate's 50th party this evening so thought it would be a great opportunity to try to grab some caches in an area I seldom get to visit.

As I parked up close by and walked towards this cache I had a tremendous sense of Deja Vu and realised that I had found this cache before about 18 months previously. Why I hadn't logged it is a bit of a mystery to me as I have logged other caches found in the area on that same day.

So I apologise for the very late log, but found on the date claimed. Thanks for placing this cache.

Needed to come to Tokoroa to pick up some sensors from our Grandson and as this was just up the road decided we should make the effort to find. Lots of traffic and several Hells Angels motorbikes roaring past, but Mr S soon made the find while Mrs S admired the sculpture. Not sure about it though, but a very impressive log.

Thanks zeusacaches.

PS: Log is full, needs a new one.

We only had time for a couple of stops today, and this one looked like it should be a quick park and grab, which it indeed turned out to be.
Thanks for giving us a reason to stop and take a look at this lovely sculpture, zeusacaches

We had a friends 60th party in Palmerston North this weekend. I noticed this fairly new cache on the way down yesterday. Today we had a big journey home with 9.5 hours driving and cows to move up north before dark. I convinced my muggle husband to stop while I grabbed this easy looking cache. We stopped at MacDonalds too and I rushed out to get a photo of the great chainsaw man too. Thanks for the cache near these wonderful artworks

Found it

Found it

A quick find tftc

On our way home after a full on weekend, another stop for a stretch, and to find a geocache. We are not up to much walking today

Parked nearby, and the cache was soon retrieved. With rebel98 and gorby on a mini caching adventure. Thanks for the hide zeusacaches

Yesterday was a big day for me and rustynz. She collected her 5000th cache on Mnt Ruapehu and I did the same with my 7000th cache. What an awesome adventure it was! But now, me and rusty and and hubby Rebel98 are heading home gradually after a good soak at Orakei hot pools, we pulled over here just to stretch our tired legs, me and rusty did 12 hrs of climbing, Rebel rode a bicycle yesterday down the hill from Turoa car park to Ohakune, over 10 km and he peddled 3 times to get the bike moving, so his legs are REALLY tired…lol! Cache all good here today. Rebel said he likes this lady, I said she’s way too tall for you, not to mention you are married already!

Slender lady is a bit to slender for me. Maybe a little tall too. Thanks for the hide

Heading home to hawkes bay we we're happy to see a new cache in this area. A quick stop and sign of cache. Tftc

First cache of the day while on a long walk to get most of my remaining active caches in Tokoroa.
An easy find, many thanks for placing

Heading north for the final time, as I'm moving away from the Manawatu now to head to the United Kingdom early in April. Even though I've got a nine hour drive ahead of me, I have decided to grab a couple of caches on the way - not too many though, as I am conscious of needing to avoid rush hour in Auckland as well as not increasing the drive time any more than I have too.

This was one of the caches I targeted and it was a quick and easy find and a nice stop to stretch the legs. TFTC

Came over to visit family in Toks and intended on clearing the caches in the area.
This was a quick pick up while muggles were inspecting a car for sale.
Thanks for bringing me here.

A quick easy find at this rather strange sculpture. TFTC

Have been planning these caches for a few weeks in conjunction with HKCB for a mad dash and effectively a 24 hour run (so that we could spend time with our respective families) for the rest of the ensuing weekend. Signed most/all caches as HKCD or some such other that we could fit in
Leaving Hamilton at 7pm Friday and getting home midnight on Saturday so that at least 6hours quality sleep was acheived, sleeping in the car is always a bonus (2 hours) and the remainder of the time caching around part of the country we hadn't previousley done a whole lot, but have left plenty for the next trip across the hill.

This was number one hundred and three of the100+ that we acheived in that time we were over here.
Thanks to all the CO's for the effort and giving some great caches, sorry about the repetitive logs but then 100 is a few to cover off.
Last one for the night and homeward bound
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

We had been talking about cache bash in Napier for a while, and when Cats&Dragons mentioned a trip down here this weekend I couldn't say no. The plan was to head down Friday night (leaving Hamilton about 7pm) and then cache til we can then grab a few hours sleep and then cache through til late afternoon and then head home. The plan worked well, with about 110 caches found over the 24 hour caching period.

It was the first time we had visited Napier to do a caching mission, and we were both impressed with the genius hides (some we hadn't seen before, I'll give a special mention to those ones). A big thanks to all the CO's whose caches we found, for placing and maintaining them. A great trip and looking forward to a revisit.

This is day ten of a ten day trip down to Dunedin and back to move my daughter there so she can get her master’s degree at Otago University. I am now heading north, but the weather is only allowing me to stop to get really easy caches on the way.

I parked down the side road and walked over to get this cache. It was sitting in a pool of water, so I replaced it in a spot that would keep it drier. TFTC.

I am easy to find but hard to see

It’s at the bottom of the lady’s feet

Why

Stopped briefly here on the way north this afternoon, this cache was new since I was last here just before Christmas. An interesting spot and the cache was a quick find in the first place checked. Signed log, TFTC.

On our way to Auckland as it is nearly the end of our holiday in New Zealand, a quick find as we passed by. TFTC

Found 10.05am
Had to go to Putaruru so a small detour on way home to collect this one.
Able to park very close and with good hint had no problems to find. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... Waitangi Day.

It's a public holiday, and Gap had a job to complete in nearby Putaruru. It made sense to return home this way with a quick stop for this cache. We have driven past this pou on a number of occasions, though this is the first time we have taken any notice. TFTC.

Quick find on the way to Mangakino. TFTC

Easy

My youngest was the one to find it! She was so happy. Very easy find.

Travelling from Napier to Matamata via Taupo today so only stopped for caches that were safe to do so depending on the traffic. This was our last stop of the day and a nice safe area to pull over and find this cache. Nicely hidden and thanks for the placement

TFTC. Good hiding spot.

Passing through here on the way to taupo. Great little find, TFTC

We were driving through Tokoroa today so called in to look for this new cache. A quick find for us and we were surprised to be only the 2nd to sign the log. We noted the container was broken at one end but the log was dry. TFTC!

FTF thanks
Just happened to be heading here today to visit family so knowing the town well I knew exactly best spot to park and quickly had the blank log in my hand.
