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 TeamCacheventuresThis 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

This is a lovely trail but it all needs checking. Event the containers that are still there could do with new logbooks etc - theyre full of old receipts etc. This one is gone I would think. We also acknowledge the traditional custodians of New Zealand / Aoteroa, as we geocache throughout their land while on holiday.Thanks for showing us this place, & for placing and maintaining this cache. The is our playground

My husband and I are on holidays from Brisbane Australia for 2 weeks travel around the south Island. Today sadly was our last day . I hired a bike to ride around this beautiful lake and find some caches. I had a great time cycling and finding caches and enjoying the view. Sadly this was a DNF for me but hope its just cache blindness

On another morning I was again roaming around in Qtown to while away time. I got me a Beam to carry me greater distances and be back for breakfast.2nd stop was #10. Lots of places to hide a cache. Even after reading the hint I was looking longer than expected. But in the end I could locate the box as per hint. 2 numbers for the bonus were in the box. Thx for hiding.

In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

We also acknowledge the traditional custodians of New Zealand / Aoteroa, as we geocache throughout their land while on holiday.

Two years ago i did not find this cache when i went cycling along the Frankton Arm Trail , but this time with our trip to Queenstown and Frankton area , for skiing again , i walked up to this cache from the Queenstown end this time and did a more thorough search and at a different level this time , and so i was rewarded with the cache after not a very long search , so i was very pleased . i So now it is good to change the blue face to a happy smiley yellow face . Thank you for this cache . I took nothing and i left nothing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
