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 Flathead42

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

Dfn.

Sadly I did not seem to be able to find it. Maybe someone "cleaned" it away? Great spots to hide it found though.

Even videoed the spouting no joy,

Had a pretty good search without luck.

Spent quite awhile looking but couldn’t find anything, suspect it’s gone, and it may not be long before the shelter goes as well.

I actually helped place this one its in a nice spot in a friendly area

Couldn’t find it

Couldn’t find it

I found it it wasn’t first find

Easy peasy

200th find! Black Lives Matter!

Found it

My first find ever. Very easy and I was pretty excited to find something!

Nice spot

We are in an airbnb house nearby and have done a cache round. It was found quickly. nicely done!

Thanks for the cache.

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. New Zealand is my 4th station traveling from south Christchurch to north Auckland, my first visit here, its far away. This is my sabbatical-cache #501.

Back in dunnas for an event with rayzr...after pitching the tent we wandered around the block for a few handy caches
No problems locating this one..tftc

Very quick find with mr bcd tftc

took about 5 mins to find

In Dunedin for a couple of days for work so of course took the opportunity to find some caches.

Walked up and literally it was in the first spot I looked.

Thanks for the cache.

Found. Had a pencil sharpener but the pencil was missing

Good first Geocache. I wonder how many people sit so close without even knowing it's there?

We are enjoying picking up a few caches as we travel South

You have to be tall or you have to jump

In da bus stop on Marlow

Up from the small smoke for appointments of the medical variety. After being poked and prodded, it was time for fresh air and snaffle a few caches. Took 2 tries to get this one, first go it was occupied by a muggle!!
Tftc

A early morning start from Invercargill and after a day of appointments now for a park bench to sleep under or a cabin in the camp. Let see where we end up .
After a suitable accommodation was found we headed out to take in the views and we stoped here only to find the gz occupied so on and up .
A return later on had the gz free and a quick search soon
Found what was hidden and made our mark .
Returned to the hide and continued on our way.
Our timing was spot on with this one today.

Thanks for the hide

Found it with a tip from a friend. A cute catch to find after-school.

Found it nice hiding spot

A quick easy find with the clear hint. TFTC

A nice quick find before work this morning. Been a Saturday means that it is nice and quiet. The seat was useful in making the reach. Thanks for the cache.

Good one!

Didn't need to climb up anywhere - thank goodness for my height! And I put my hand on it immediately. Love when a cache is this simple.

Great find thanks

Arrived when all the kids were on morning break, so walked along to one nearby then came back when the field was quiet. Lovely quick find though I'm shocked it's not been nicked! Tftc!

Hint did not help. But it’s in the bus stop.

Quick easy park and find. TFTC

Nice quick find in the evening with no one around. TFTC!!

A nice quick find TFTC

A quick find today. TFTC

Easy walk up find

Not too tricky a find for a Sunday afternoon - not many muggles hanging around so I was able to find a very large window of opportunity between cars. No problem locating the cache - my height did help - and no problem signing and sealing. Cheers!

Ah yes, the classic hide. Appropriate small container and pencil and swaps - call me old-fashioned, but it is refreshing to find a 'proper urban cache' instead of an eclipse tin. Got away just before the bus arrived.

Easy park and grab tftc

Yay found it. And a footprint

Quick park and grab, under the cover of darkness. TFTC

Nice quick find.

Tricky but awesome

Found on 11/07/2019.

Out and about on a warm Winter's day in Dunedin.
A nice quick find

Nice quick find...cheers from Auckland ...V

Took a few minutes to track down, but GPS bang on. - Thanks Bitsprayer

Great timing, no buses and therefore no one waiting.
A wee bit of a grope, sign and the pie time at a handy dairy.
Thanks

So pleased to be out caching today. It has been a while - too many other things taking up my time recently.

A quick find here. Bus stops are good for providing cover for geocachers! Tftc

Out for a walk with P & VEE. Great find. TFTC

Found while out for a walk. Glad of the darkness to be able to ind this one. Found with Mr VDH56.

Quick find, while dodging muggles. TFTC

Closest cache to my house and I’ve only just come across it!! Tftc

A reasonably quick find
A few muggles were driving by but I managed to get it.
Tftc

Hey I found it but all there was, was a black box with paper on it

The spider dropped off. Hope this works

Quick easy find. tftc

This cache has a spider Travel bug.

After a FTF with KJR we came to sign this one. Was an easy find. TFTC ?

In the area for a FTF so a quick find here afterwards with Gadget169. Picked up a couple of trackables TFTC

We hid it

I helped make the cashe

Approached on foot & perused the timetable while I reached for the sky. Luckily my height meant no Stenton grabbing climbing on the seat was needed. Quick find. Took trackable. TFTC

Easy find

Was going out on an errand tonight and would be passing reasonably close to this so thought I'd take a look. Pleased I did as it was a breeze under cover of darkness. In the daytime, however, I could imagine a dozen pairs of eyes peering out from behind the curtains of the houses opposite! TFTC.

Saw there was a FTF so raced out but someone had written in the log book but not posted the log. Oh well, may be one day! Wouldn’t want to do this one during the day. Way too many windows nearby!!

[FTF] Out on a roadtrip with minion one on a mission to undertake some maintenance of some caches down in Gore. We took a bit of a long route there and home which led to some fun surprises.

We had stopped in Balcutha for a break and noticed 2 new caches, one in Balcutha the other 44km back near home... got one but didn't think we would be in for a chance of the one in town. As we got closer to town, pulled over and yes this is was still unlogged. So headed to the cache site and when we got there hummm lots of homes but dark enough. The debate was where to park. The passing bus as I stepped up didn't stop for me phew. What a surprise when opened the container. Checked front and back and blank paper yes. Signed and returned. Moved the car down the road out of eye of walking muggles to log.
