The Holy Cache Balmoral, North Island, New Zealand
By sophiageocacher on 16-Jun-19. Waypoint GC89JDB

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 sophiageocacher

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.

Found a furry corpse but no cache

Had a good look couldn’t find

My sister and I found it

We did our best. Cool place though!

Did not find. Lesson learned to not put caches at ground level where it will end up buried under mountains of leaves.

We didn’t find it looked for ages

Had a quick search around but DNF.

Well add me to the DNF club. I had a pretty long look too. Not to mention a couple of phone a friends as well. Still couldn't find it. When a car parked up near GZ so the occupants could eat their lunch I decided that my searching efforts would be compromised so decided to call it a day.

A short walk from our finds last week and quickly found

Return visit, allok here
Thanks

The hint wasn't very correct but we found it the picture might give it away

Should have left this till my next Dr's appointment as it's right across the road and I always tend to arrive early.

Spent a very enjoyable morning on a walk/driveby trip with Team Welsh. Lots of fun as is usual when we are out and about. Thanks.

Had a long overdue caching day with TF picking up some caches around this area, in between chats and laughs we managed to find a few.

One that we found on the way, lots of possible hiding spots but struck it lucky early on.

Collected on my day off before next overseas trip. T4tc

Out to continue our streak tonight and spent a while here looking in various places until we went back to the first place we looked in and made the find.A lovely church.Not a fan of all the muggles at this time of day.

Out collecting our daily cache. Picked a Saturday afternoon thinking it my be a little quieter around gz which proved correct. Hide quickly located. All good. Interesting old church which we had a little wander around afterwards. TFTC

After quite a bit of searching I ended up going home to relax for the rest of the evening. I’ll be back!

Had looked here before but was barking up the wrong tree. TFTC

Hardest & longest find of the day. With the hint it could have been anywhere & everywhere. Changed GZ a few times but still no luck. Was about to abandon the search when I spotted it. Pheweee. TFTC

Found in the first tree i looked in but missed it first time

I was out with Bennett24 to check on the CANZ NI final, but we stopped on the way to get this one. I was here on a previous occasion and missed the cache. My excuse is that I was parked in front of the retail shops and I didn't want to upset them by parking too long.

Today, my GPSr pushed me to another tree and I managed to find it in the first place my foot looked. TFTC.

Out with Agazo today we called by this one to clear a spot on his map. With the GPS in hand today rather than the phone he was directed to the right tree this time and made a quick find. TFTC

Tftc. Handy to have tree climbing geokids as camouflage. A couple of toy swaps.

This one is obviously a bit tricky for many of us! Had a good search and got dirt under my nails but only found rubbish. Lots of cans and bottles littered here. Might be a good spot for some CITO? Actually that'd make a good disguise. Might return with the kids and some trash bags. How to tick this one off soon.

Found it! At my second dnf for the day another family arrived and while searching we chatted about this cache. Turns out they're friends of yours! So with a wee hint from them, I returned, donned some urban camo (a high vis vest) and started collecting rubbish. I was able to make a quick grab and log while cleaning up the area and hopefully not being noticed by the rush hour traffic. I added a plastic bag because the log sheet was damp, and two Minecraft toys for fun. Tftc.

Hi I’ve noticed that there have been a few DNFs in the last week or so but the cache is still there so if you did post a DNF recently you might want to have another look thanks!

Finally found a time to have a search for this one when there wouldn’t be as many people around - 4am after finishing at work. Managed to find it reasonably quickly with just torch light and kicking up some leaves. Tftc

Not a quick find yesterday on way to footie. More a case of geosesnse as to where it could be...cheers V.

DNF

#942. I remember the night this came out, I was over on the North Shore and this one was published at the same time as one in Northcote somewhere. I ended up trying to get FTF on the other cache in Northcote instead, which turned out to be the right decision as I remember tuolei finding this cache really quickly. I also remember getting absolutely drenched, it was a very wet night...

Anyway I wanted to find this one because this is the only cache on Dominion Road I haven't found, that includes all the hard puzzles. So I made the effort to come by past here after work tonight. It was raining quite hard but I still did it anyway, the rain was nice enough to stop for a few minutes while I parked up outside Kitchen Things and wandered over.

I had seen quite a few DNFs on this one, and I had read all the previous logs, I laughed at the previous comment "Not on my vibe", I don't know exactly what that means but I guess this one was on my vibe tonight as I found it fairly fast! Maybe there are fewer leaves now than there were a few weeks back, or maybe I'm just lucky, I'm not sure.

Anyway I am very happy because now I have found every single cache on Dominion Road! Thank you very much for the cache! I took a photo of the log, because I thought there were some names missing from the physical logbook that appear online, although now that I look closer I see that everybody is present and accounted for

Not on my vibe aye

Yeah it was an ok cache. Thanks

Leaves everywhere...

Sooooo many leaves. Had to abandon.

Not obvious

Found straight away. Thanks S.M
for hiding this one. Happy caching to you too!

In the area with Mrs Jag. Coords had us down the bottom and as we figured that we were on private property so went back up and then had to abandon our search as muggles decided to leave church and stop and chat right by where we were wanting to search. We went away and came back a little later and the coast was clear and Mrs Jag made the find

Out collecting some caches with Merlot between the rain showers. Sunday was probably not the best day to stop and collect this one. We had to abort our search when a group of worshipers exited the church service and were chatting at GZ. We returned later in the day and started our search under the piles of autumnal leaves. After a short search, the cache was located.

Thanks sophiageocacher!
Someone missed school bus home today....so I picked her up by car and we diverted to this new cache for a joint second to find!
Thanks for your first hide!
I found a rat trap first!

So I spent a good half hour looking for my phone until I found it with some help because I'm useless. I ran out of my classroom even though I knew I had missed my bus, and of course, I did. So after like an hour of waiting and reading Tokyo Goul [@supernannny](http://coord.info/PR7JGWR) came and picked me up, which meant that today would inevitably be a caching day. At first we thought we found the cache when it turned out that what we had found was a rat trap. On our second try we found the cache. Thanks for the cache, dude. Me and supernannny found it together and shoutout to her because she did all the work. I basically just stood there trying to look as normal as possible, which is definitely a challenge when caching.

FTf 7pm fullblog later

This one came out with a few others on a cold, showery Thursday evening and after skimming through the usual suspects saw a cache by someone new. Hmmm...begs further investigation in case it is closer to home than usual. OK - one kilometre away - that is very close so an effort to find might be called for. The only fly in the ointment was the fact that my brother, partner and their child were over for dinner and Mrs Tuolei was at work. Fortunately, they are familiar enough with my mania and were happy enough to excuse me while I made a dash down the road for the cache.

Managed to park up reasonably close to GZ and the showers were holding off so headed down and knowing the area well I had a fair idea where to look. Found nice and quickly and was rewarded with a blank log. Signed in with no problems and replaced the cache as found. All good here and you have hidden your first cache very similar to how I hid mine. Congratulatons on hiding your first cache. Thanks for the cache, all good here.
