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 butchie bumThis 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

Just like the last one up the road, the gps suddenly went from 89m to 3m. Nice convenient place to park, quick look around and spotted exactly where I would hide a cache. And there it was. Log signed before the geohound had a chance to sniff it out.

I have a bit of spare time to do some caching after moving my snail shell from Dargaville to Opononi. Time to pick up the extras on the Gorge road since I was last here a few years ago.

Cheers for the cache.

Day seven of our 11 day binge trip we are signing as NNES. We are up North visiting our friend Gracie's GPS fun. We are having a wee road trip to the kauri trees together.

Yay school holidays! Time for a road trip with my friend Ethness. I flew from Christchurch to Wellington. The idea is to drive up to the top of the North Island and back. We planned the trip ages ago.

Thanks butchie bum for placing this geocache 7818 find for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

Staying near Opononi. Return visit in Hokianga. Great time to find few extra caches. All good at GZ. TFTC

We wanted more finds for today's calendar date, so we planned a trip to Opononi to find some of the Golden Circle Series. Rain was forecast but it mostly held off until our last few finds, though the very strong winds were challenging at times! Some of the finds had us hunting for a while, but we had no DNFs until the last cache on our list.
Parked and initially thought the Lodge referred to the outbuildings on our left, but no, the driveway is over there behind that large tree. And so is the cache! Thanks.

A quick easy find. Not til after that I noticed the muggles in the vicinity. TFTC.

Yah another {FTF}. It was only a few weeks ago I headed down this road to get your other new caches. I was wondering which neighbour was unfriendly as I drove out here. Luckily no problems with new location. Thanks for the new cache which was an easy find Smile
