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 a prior reviewer note.

Hi nomdabom

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

Such a cool sculpture. Shame the log appears to be missing.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… A good day for a drive across the Waikato. It feels like summer today…

Definitely a jandal, not a skimpy pair of undies. Another DNF for the list - almost a year’s worth…

Couldn’t find anything despite a long search. Looks like it needed maintenance anyway after reading previous logs

Found it

On our bikes, and off exploring south of Thames ... great fun. This was our first stop - what a fabulous piece of art - a real asset to the area. A surprisingly quick find at GZ, we were expecting this to take longer, and we didn't come across a 'decoy'. As stated in previous logs, the "log sheet" is full; so we found a little gap and wrote tiny.

It could be that the owner has taken it and replacing it with new log book. Last found log said logbook was wet and full. Out with Kittycat 432 and we know we had the right spot (we think). We look next time we are in Thames.....going to be visiting regularly over the few mouths. This was using CGEO as Kittycat432 is staying locally and wanted to try it out

Took a while to figure this one out. Log book is full and too wet to write on. TFTC
 
18-Mar-22
I quite agree. Its definitely a jandal.
I love this seat - so cool

The log book is full but I squeezed our name on it

Thanks for putting a cache here

We made a detour to get this on the way to Whangamata.
What an awesome sculpture, a real piece of Kiwiana.
We couldn’t find the cache on our initial search but on a second and more thorough look we spotted it.
Very nice hide. Not what we were expecting.
TFTC.

Very cool location for a cache! Beware on a warm day it can be quite hot
 
17-Jan-22
On a spontaneous road trip to Thames with imcuzz and stopped for a couple of caches. Loved the decoy but took a few minutes to find the real one! As mentioned by a previous logger, the cache is losing its magnetisation so it was on the ground. Great idea TFTC
 
17-Jan-22
On a quick road trip to Thames with Pinocchio 59, & we really had to hunt for this one. Seems to have lost its stick ability and beware of the prickly bushes too. TFTC
 
15-Jan-22
My first find! So fun to find and great deception.
 
03-Dec-21
Found the right one and it was in place. Sneaky was the decoy container.

Thanks nomdabom

Cycling from Kopu to town. And yes I thought how easy is this !!! Upon further investigation found it on the ground. Looks as though it has list some of its stickability
Cheers

{FTF} Went for the weekly shop and had an opportunity to get the cache. Great idea. Have thought about placing one here before.
