Things have withered. Time to go!

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Withering Heights"

Following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log. It is now well over 28 days old and there has been no reaction from the CO.
Could you please temporarily disable the cache to prevent it from showing up in search lists?

Regards

Ian & Penny

Hi there Maux Faux,

RE: Your cache **"Withering Heights"**

We looked for your cache today, but there are no yellow and black signs (with sleepers) anywhere in the vicinity of the crossing.

It is not possible to complete this cache with the information provided.

Regards

Ian & Penny

In Whyalla for the day for a Wedding, so thought we would kill some time.
Lots of fun getting to the top for the lovely views.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Spent way longer than it should have due to transposing wrong numbers. There is a crossing sign near the T junction which also had a crossing sign with sleepers. TNLNSL.

There is no longer a rail sign anywhere near the listed coordinate so I couldn't complete this multi.

Yesterday we found a few down the road and like yesterday a bit of time after work before the sun sets we decided on a few closer to town, had gathered the info sometime ago on a previous visit to town but did not have the time to visit GZ not so today ut some fantastic views from here as the sun was getting low in the sky TFTC

[blue]Out on the wiley, windy moors,
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too[/blue]

I often feel that way about a multi-cache [^]

And this one was no exception ... I had to possess it
But a problemo cropped up at the starting coordinates [:o]
I suspect that the 'railway crossing' in question used to have a [red]STOP[/red] sign and the sign at the coordinates did indeed exist
But with the installation of flashing lights at the crossing, the roadsigns have also been updated [:o]

The nearest railway X-ing on side road sign was over a hundred metres away and had no 'sleepers' snoring behind it
Well there are only so many sleepers you can fit on a yellow and black diamond so I ran a few numbers through the GPS.
One looked good ... so off I rode

And at my calculated coordinates, I wandered around in vain.
No cache here
But that spot over there on the next hill looks like it [u]should[/u] have a cache on it
Some fudging on numbers and I had a set of coords that seemed to be in that spot [^]

So a bit more riding and I was there.
A short scramble around and there was a cache
You Beauty [^]

TFTC and a bit of fun and games riding up the hill.
Nothing for it now but to find a few of the Double Dragon caches up this way

cache still in good condition. Another tftc

What a stunning view. We watched the rain pass right over whyalla. Nice walk too. Tftc

was a good day for a ride

Worked out the coords and set about walking to WP2. Was a nice walk. TFTC

Thanks maux faux for the cache, worked out the Finals about two years ago, completed this today, found cache in good condition, enjoyed the views from GZ. TFTHSL Last cache for us today. [^]

I worked out the final co-ordinates months ago and had ridden passed it a few times on the mountain bike with out trying to find it. But today I was playing in the 4WD with the lad so we stopped and made a quick find before heading off for some more fun. TFTC.

Worked this out ages ago, finally took a nice energetic mountain bike ride up the hill. TFTC

Found it even though the 4wd mob where on training 50m away and they looked at me going up the hill I guess I would have done it wrong to them

A great multi with great views over Whyalla at WP2. Both waypoints very easy to find and complete. TFTC

Figured out the final location easily, but it was JO that took the walk while I waited with Miss6. TFTC

Quickly obtained required info and solution. A nice view from GZ as a couple of 4WD's climbed hills nearby. TFTC.

My last cache for 2012. A nice wee walk on a hot day. TFTC.

Didn't manage to find waypoint 1.

Worked out very quickly. Decided to go out and find a few caches around Mt Laura and Wild Dog Hill.
TFTC.... KKBC..
(Found with Jacob350!)

Found quickly with on-cache-patrol.

Fantastic cache - we really love a cache that involves 4Wdriving.

thanks

Finally got to do this one, and a few others in this area
Also showed a new cacher - z'mel - the in & outs of caching
His first multi aswell

Bek found this on her 13th Birthday with her BFF BeccaBoo22 (for her first find!!!)! Took a bit of searching as it was hard to get a sat lock. Nice to finally cross this one off the list!
TFTC

My first find with Woodsy5 to help. TFTC.

nice hide, this one was tricky treking, but well worth it for the view

nice walk great view

Took a while to walk from GZ to the cache, not many visits lately so I left a new pathtag named for my daughter...go get it!

Took a while to log this one, but we found it, Susan found this one. Left a Lizard, took a sun key ring. TFTC

Great drive wife did a great job at 4x4 driving. Searched for a few mins then yee haa had the cache in my hands T braclet L tigger keyring SL TFTC

Dropped rescue ted in for visit

Loved this. It Challenged the kids with the equation. Made it up the hill in my kia although the passenger in the front was gritting her teeth. Great view.

Took the kids for a drive on a 'treasure hunt' and found this one. Then all I got was 'can we find more' lol

Took the toy car and put in a pooping penguin

Thanks for the fun!

Great countryside and glad we had the final worked out before we came this way. Thanks maux faux. Took tb.

After figuring where the end point for this one was, I went and completed all the other multi’s in town just in case any more headed in that direction. I would be really miffed to have to go up there more than once [xx(].

I chickened out and left the Commode parked on the main road and trekked up to GZ. My heart sank when I realised that GZ took in a huge pile of rocks, all of which looked like they’d been piled up to hide something .

After much cursing and swearing, I decided to investigate the OTHER areas the were encompassed within GZ … and ta-dahh!! [^]. Boy, was I glad to see that container. Too much effort put in to come away with a DNF.
So in the end, a great cache and I put in a personalised (non-trackable) TFTC coin. So if you want it Maux Faux, you’ll have to trek up there again to get it . Thanks again for a great cache

Dropped by on a beautifully mild winter's day. No wind, sunny...perfect!
Dropped off the Little Brother 4X4 tb

The commodore wagon has excelled itself today. Got me to within 20mtrs of the cache site. Wife grimacing the whole time, expecting a rock to come through the floor ("Don't park like that. What if the brake fails and it rolls down the hill?"). "Well then it needed fixing anyway!". Who says you need 4WD's.

Rocky Glen Grommets completed the puzzle and where we stopped was virtually where it was! Found by Grom 2 - we decided to leave his Yamaha Travel Bug - we want it to travel to lots of places and clock up lots of Kilometres - the KTM Travel Bug is winning the race at the moment - we want the Yamaha to move quickly from place to place - please help it on its way! We took the Qld Travel Bug. Thanks maux faux!

Nice this one has been bothering me i went and tried to find this one with a friend a while ago but didn't read up on it, sigh, oh well done now haha..
TNLN TFTC

First of a few finds for the day with "the hunta" in toe..... TFTC Maux Faux

Heathcliff. Where are you Heathcliff. Voted most boring book when we studied in leaving. The song came much later. Who was that woman?

Doh doh doh

Checked and double checked calculations and still got them wrong.


Editted to add:
Just checked on google earth and discovered I was only about 30 metres away, knew that rock area looked like a better spot than where I was searching.

Well about time we finished this cache found the first stage on the 4th November 2007 and now we have found the rest, TFTC
What a different view over Whyalla
T - Whistle
L - Crazy cards

Found the yellow sign and did the calculus. A white tray top was looking at the Camry struggle up this hill. Little did I know I would soon be riding in it. But that’s another story for another cache! Left a star key chain. Nice views of the FeKnob train.

Thanx Maux Faux and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^]

Back in whyalla to check out MFs handiwork since our last visit! Nice spot to contemplate after a morning walk - should have brought the mtb! cheers MF

#8 of 10 today. Another well thought out multi using the features of the land. Drove to GZ again in the hire car. Found easily. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

More walking, and another good view, and a great spot to sit and fill in the log. TFTC

Quick and easy find after bit more of a walk with Tweety2 TNLN TFTC

Another Maux Faux cache find for the trip.
TNLNSL
Thanx for another smiley, and for the hunting!

Just stopped by to retrieve Bunya's travel slug to send it south.

Good one, and a nice walk and great view of Whyalla.
Took photo of the Slug, but left him as no trips are planned.
Took lizard, Left small car, and TFTH card.

The little gully was an unexpected but pleasant surprise! You’d never know it was there looking from the highway. The plants obviously benefit from the protection and extra run-off it must provide. Nice view too.
Took 1942 penny. Left gecko, mini turtle and Travel Slug geocoin.
Thanks maux faux.

Good to go...enjoy.
