By TeamCacheventures on 09-Jan-21. Waypoint GC94Z4Y

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no maintenance by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note

**NOTE REGARDING MAINTENANCE**

Hi there,

Being 13 years old can prove difficult when maintaining caches. I do my best to do this when I can and apologise for the time taken.

The cache continuously gets muggled replacement after replacement. I will talk to my QT crew ASAP regarding a new spot and maintenance when possible.

Thanks for your patience, I hope you understand now.
TeamCV, 13 y/o

Sadly this one decided that it wanted to be in any place but the right one...

Will be all ready **later this month**!

Sorry folks, happy caching.
TeamCV

Another dnf to add to the list for this cache. We will hopefully be back to find this when it’s ready for us

Had a good look around but couldn’t see it. Seems like that is common though…

a few DNFs, so just doing a maintenance log so you're aware it's missing. Not too many places it could be, to be fair. Heading back to the motel via the two AdLabs in the CBD area, so I'll get this and the rest on another visit. Thanks!

DNF

No luck today. Seems like it may have been muggled.

Staying close by we were walking into Queenstown and collecting caches. Lovely walk along the lake and some great hides. TFTC.

Unfortunately we were not able to locate this cache.

Had a good poke around for ages, unfortunately not there for us today. Thanks anyway, hopefully will be back at some other time. Managed to guess code for final.

Missed it, for the second time

Think it has been cleaned up.

Got it

In Queenstown to celebrate a birthday, so decided to take some time today to get out adventuring around this beautiful area while it is quiet.
Haven't been out caching for quite some time, so making the most of it today.

Certainly a fast “walk by” find. Thanks CO.

Oh that one was just how we like them. A nice quick find.

Just the way we like it

Cycled the Frankton Track from Frankton Beach to the Queenstown Gardens this afternoon, with the aim of picking up a few caches along the way. Managed to find six all up. This was a very quick find, easier to ‘access’ than I was expecting! #4917. TFTC.

We got it was a bit exposed so made sure it was recovered well

On the bike early morning, but trail busy. - Thanks Bitsprayer

A nice quick find thanks. I didn't need to get off my bike!

Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. Today we cruised around Queeenstown. We live in an amazing country, and today was one out of the bag. Glorious, weatherwise and the mountains were just stunning.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

We looked in the wrong place
TFTC

Quick find. Wonder what the coordinates are for? I will find out.

GPS pointed to a tree stump painted red with stump killer, found later in a stump on other side of track. Like the cammo tape. TFTC.

??

Clever camo tape! Tftc

First placed I looked! Wahoo

With a hired push bike at my disposal I set off for a few hours ride from the CBD to Kelvin heights and back.

Spotted as I rested by bike. Replaced a bit better than I found it.

Thanks TeamCacheventures

Holiday caching adventure. Thanks for the hide.

Nice. Didn't stump me.TFTC

Cool idea

This had me going around in circles but read a few logs & went back to the first place I looked. Tftc

Got there eventually. Great camo. TFTC

Nice camo

Owner Maintenance

**NOTE ON MAINTENANCE**

We are coming today with a replacement Eclipse green mint tin.

Please replace the cache with the camo side facing upward (toward the sky).

An owner maintenance log will be posted when this is done.

Happy caching - enjoy the trail!
TeamCV

**MAINTENANCE REQUIRED AND NOTED**

We have seen the DNFs and ‘needs maintenance’ logs.

Meanwhile, if you don’t have luck finding this cache, then the coordinate codes are **E 1**

We will have this back up and running soon!
TeamCacheventures

Met kaz53 here and between the three of us, we couldn't find the cache. Is it in the same place as when the cache was replaced on 11th September, and the hint photo taken? It's definitely not there. Notice there is another maintenance log on 20th Nov.

Good to meet kaz53 here, but sadly none of us could locate the cache. We had a good search of the hollow in the stump in the picture, but despite excavating a lot of stuff, and probing deeply with walking poles, nothing was found.

Not a find for me today

Rather more options than I was expecting. Enjoying the walk along here.

Great series here. Enjoyed walking with TeamCV and finding them.
All good here, many thanks.

(Apologies for late log - found in Jan 21)

Couldn’t find this one

Found it

I came from completing the Kelvin Peninsula trail to the Frankton Track to do this series.

Didn't stump me.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice new paper yessssss!

**GEOCACHE DISABLED**

Due to certain conditions of the state of this geocache container, logbook or other waypoints, we must disable it to do maintenance.

Apologies for the inconvenience,
*TeamCacheventures*

**CACHE MAINTENANCE**

We are currently investigating this cache re it being missing or not.
Soon we will post an update onto the cache page, which will be an owner maintenance if this is missing.

I think this was another one on the trail that eluded .
Another winter trip down to ski fields around Queenstown , Wanaka etc . and of course locating some of the newer caches or caches that had not been found on previous visits and so when the weather is not conducive to going up the mountains sight seeing was the next choice of action along with locating some of these caches . I am pleased to be able to change 3 blue faces to smiley ones this tour down here but it was disappointing that several of the Frankton to Queenstown cycle trail caches have been disabled and so the final of these is not found as yet .

Given the long list of DNF's I'm not sure why I bother to even stop and look. But I did. Same result. Zilch.

Visiting Queenstown (from Wellington) for a long weekend and geocaching was one of the planned activities. Sadly, no cache found here. What I did find was a golf ball with some coordinates written on it, that lead me back to #4. Very odd

no luck. found a gross plastic bag with a rabbit skull in it behind one of the trees…

**NB:** Will check on this as soon as possible.

Had a good search....unable to locate

Saw stump but no cache

I’m a bit slack on logging finds. Great to find them but trying to save battery by logging later often means I forget. On a visit to Queenstown as part of celebrating our grandson’s 21st birthday. Went for a walk with my brother and had some finds. Tftc

We found it !!

Iceman 88 was here
Muggled?

Is it there? Searched a lot of places also found golf ball with cords written on it the cords are over 600m away from Gz so we didn’t bother checking them out

??

This may be gone, spent way too much time here, someone has been causing damage to possible spots searching,

We searched all the stumps.Couldn't find it.

Tftc

Found it.

Found it.
Muggles have been in hot form today.

7. cache today after work. This cache trail is waiting for me before I'll leave Qt in 2 days. All good with this one.

Woo!

What a cool wee find!

Tftc we’re really enjoying this trail, very good hide

Left the bikes at the apartment today and walking into town collecting caches along the way. TFTC

Really enjoying this trail - TFTC!

I’m stumped now writing the log up a week later. Nice to be out in the sun with friends on the walkway. Tftc

During a 12 hour trip to Queenstown , with some fellow keen cache finders, this trail was one of our main objectives. Lucky it was not too hot but took us close to 2 hours to walk and find 10 caches and 1DNF. First walk along here for me but I have biked it a couple of times and also ran as part of the Queenstown half marathon. But saw a lot more walking today.
TFTC and bringing us back here.

Another quick easy find TFTC

A nice quick find today. No one seemed to be home in the neighboring buildings, maybe they were all at Gibbston Valley.

TFTC

A nice big hint item here and easy to retrieve.

Was at work when this lot came in and had to wait till i could go get them. Final finished and set of to get them. Got to the first one and couldn't find it so moved on to this one and hoping it was still empty as not one had logged any as yet. But sadly i was third to find. any ways TFTC

Out with Mr Cuddly Brick with my first geocaching adventure, getting {FTF} with him. Great time. Thanks for this trail. More copy and paste logs to follow.

2TF. Easiest find so far. Surprisingly well concealed. Had to wait for muggles to pass to return cache. Started wondering how long it will stay hidden. Make sure you revise it so it’s not visible. Tftc
