And the result?

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 page and post a 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.

After another two attempts on this cache still no find.
Could the Cache Owner please check and advise ?

Thanks

A number of issues, dnfs and a CO who hasn't logged in for a very long time. Perhaps the reviewing faeries can finally send this cache to the great GZ in the sky.

On duty looking after my cousins kids for the weekend. While the older ones were at youth group, the youngest and I went caching. After finding a few in the bush near Crace, we still had some time to spare. We came here to try our luck. We found some fascinating ants, spiders and moths, but not the cache. We decided to move on after 10 minutes. I'll try again another time.

Had breakfast at nice little cafe at kaleen shops with ACTchil who asked have I got this one yet as he had found it before, so off we went, read logs after getting to gz and read new location. found old lid but no log book, took photo on phone will try and attach so you Can see and you Can let me know that it is the container to mark as found.

This one took me forever to find cause I didn't realise it got moved. Lucky for me bancoober was with me other wise I would have never found it

Only found thanks to bubble and squeak. Log is past its use by date! TFTC

Mea culpa!
My typo! I actually found GC24J9Q, but typed in GC24J90

Found it

Took us a while we read they back posts and bam found-

Found after two other visits and looking further back into log.

Found today on a trip to the shops to pick up my groceries for my girls birthday. I used to bring them here when they were little for swimming lessons. I looked in a few places first but soon found the sneaky little hide. Nice one - thanks a lot

I had attempted this one before without success. Armed with the recent new intelligence I found it quickly.

If you have been reading the log entries, the log is FULL. Also it is many metres away from its initial location on the other side of the path.

I had tried to find this many months ago without success - thanks to bubble & squeak's log entry it was an easy find - not where stated in the Hint. The log is full - I wrote over a faded entry from a long time ago. Thanks a23649

found it with assistance from previous logs. log sheet is full. tftc a23649

Thanks bubble and squeak for the help! Took a while but after reading that helped a lot!!

Seems this one hasn't made its way back to its home yet. Found in the same location as mentioned by previous loggers. Does the CO cache anymore? Profile shows no activity since 2011 [:o] As mentioned by other loggers, this log is full and does require replacement by the CO if they are still active. Ill add to watch list and if I get back down here before heading to the Mega, ill replace the log to keep the cache alive.

Thanks for the find a23649

Tftc and thank you recent logs!

Found with the help of previous logs. tftc

567 Quick find in its new location. (It pays to read recent logs.) Found a bit of space on the log and scrawled my name. It was getting dark so the Plofessor and I headed home after a successful mission of 5 caches. Tks a23649.

Found it with help from tripperOutThere!

Found in the new location. Log is filling up.

Found in location noted by bubble & squeak. Needs to be moved back to the correct hide.

Found in the open. It's not clear where the little cache ought to be. The damage to the trees is really extensive so rather than put it in a random part of a tree where more damage might be done by searchers, I put it behind the guard at the base of the pole, inside an interesting, old fashioned tin lid!

No luck for me today

I really needed an easy find tonight but in the end this one did not fit the bill. Eighth DNF in last 10 searches.

Found on the ground. Think we put it back to the spot it was supposed to be. Geofiance picked it up after 5 mins of looking after an interstate work trip. TFTC

hmmm, found a small orange container on the ground, not sure whether this is the cache or not, if so, found.

Will return to try another day - ran out of time.

A second attempt and this time I made a quick find. TFTC.

One of a number of caches found today. The log is full. TFTC.

Viking Olly had looked for this before girl eyes found immediately TFTC

Dang two minutes for AP to find it half am hour of me NOT last time ! Tftc

Great place love the cache.
Found with Gecko1968.
Thanks for the cache.

Quick find once we had our bearings. Cache lid is broken and log very damp and becoming disintegrated. Nice grass area TFTC

Found this a while ago,
Thought I’d update my finds only a few weeks late
Very well hidden fun search
TFTC

# 6784 Found on another cool Spring day for another trip around the area.
Another clear but cloudy day and hardly any muggles around here today.
Another good hide and a quick find about 4m from my GZ. Log was damp, but writeable.
Thanks for the cache a23649,
Roostaman.

Nice little hide tftc

found with edendanny.

I'd been here a while ago, with no luck. This time, easy find.

Thanks.

I searched for this for ages, but still couldn't find it; my only DNF today.

Nice and quick

Biding some time while hubbie picks up our new trayon. TFTC. First one in awhile.

Took a couple of minutes looking but the container is just the same as a few of my own.

I'm not sure on which day I found this one, I hope this is right. It was my second attempt at this, and as again the gps was all over the place, so expanded the search and found the little blighter quite a distance away. Thanks a23649

Quick easy find, TFTC wood borer

#148
Find 3 of 4 this afternoon, I trusted my GPS all the way which paid off.
TFTC

A torch at night really helps in finding this one. Great hide!

not as hard as I thought, maybe would be best to do this at night. your eyes only focus on the torch light making it easier to look hard and focus, we found this in about 10 minutes and I think its because of that. tftc

This is yet another attempt (3rd?) at this cache.

It definitely deserves the difficulty rating.
Must be my "cache blindness" AND some brilliant cammo.

Thanks a23649 for the hunt.

#321 - 19:35; Was looking to build on the PB before darkness fell and this cache was closest to the last find (Fool's Gold (GC2BTAQ)), although the difficulty rating made me nervous. A little bit of luck came my way with the setting sun shining at the right angle to reveal the cache as I approached GZ. Log signed and cache returned withour interuption. TFTC a23649

funny watching my vertically challenged partner trying to find this one

After a long DNF a few years back a quick find was made this time. Have placed it a little higher up than last cacher did. TFTC

Found with O319 on a great afternoon of caching. TFTC

Had a bit of trouble finding this one, however it was on the ground, and after speaking with fellow geocachers I knew it shouldn't have been there. I relocated it in the tree but I believe it is in a lower location than originally placed. Sorry but it therefore might need maintenance. TFTC though!

We did this one again with Unit X

Found with Unit X and Pineapplescouts

Cute cache. Suits the name. Found with JustBee

Great cache, great hide, and great spotting by jocreates! TFTC

Found while on a run out this way. Some people would have difficulty finding this. Bit after getting to GZ and reading the hint, the cache was luckily spotted straight away. Great little hide. Nice spot. TFTC a23649!

The GPS wasn't being very accurate here but thankfully, the cache was found with the help of a friend. Very clever! TFTC.

Aptly named cache. Previous people may have done some damage to the nearby trees though!

Nup no joy today with this one. I scoured everywhere for half an hour. Must be really well camo'd. I'll watch this one and come back for another go one day. I did see a little baby bird in a nest on the way so went home happy .

Yay! Found it at last on, I think, my third visit. Very hard to spot - just lucky I guess!

A few of the trees around look like they've had bits of park pulled off - I don't know if from caching or naturally.

Thanks for a tricky one!

The GPS was not at all happy here - I just could not get a stable reading. I had a look for about 5 minutes and scanned a few trees but didn't come up with the goods

Agree with some of the other finders - a very keen eye is required

No muggles about today, so I was able to search without looking suspicious. Only took a couple of minutes, thankfully

TFTC

Had me stumped until Liv81 used her keen eye and found the mark.

TFTC

Found on a lunchtime jog with Curbo...this one was tricky to find! TFTC...

Is a wood borer someone who is so boring that they can even bore wood? Or is it someone who is made of wood and is therefore boring? I was lucky enough to spot this in front of my nose almost immediately. A lady walked past a I was signing the log, and gave me an odd look, but apart from that the area was deserted.

Thanks a23649!

Mtrax convinced me to have another go at this cache, and finally we came up with the goods! We were joined for some time by a local resident who was quite bemused at what we were doing. Sadly he missed the actual find which was made almost as soon as he left. TFTC - 2nd time lucky.

1:35:00 PM: (17 of 18)
Out Today with Tealby for a moring of caching around Belconnen ,on afar better day than yesterday.
phew on approach one of the neighbours was quiet interested in our activities and intially thought we where from the Govt there to chop down a few trees but no ..hung around having a quick look an then left back to his gardening. but as it was my 3rd attempt I was surely going to find it this time, and after some more seerching thankfully Tealby came up good with the find .. horrah whoo I've removed this DNF blight of my todo list.
I was just not looking at the right level.

GPS had me all over the place, so decided to just start looking. Found in about 5minutes. SL TFTC

Quick walk from soccer

Found it!

Took us a bit but we found it!

Friday 24 August 2012 - cold wet windy afternoon. After a work lunch a group of us decide to go geocaching in the neighbourhood and only gave up when the rain became too heavy. GeoFriend found this cache that had been elusive last time I was here with geoGrandma. This cache does need to be relocated before it falls out. Thx GeoFriends, TFTC

=) With 4 sets of eyes looking to hunt this one down, it wasn't long until someone had yelled found it. Was kind of expecting something more tricky and was looking for other ideas as we were all overthinking the hide .... very well hidden , may not last much longer where it is... TFTC =)

Found with Ayepeacee and Brightskies who were on a short visit from Brisbane. A milestone for Brightskies and a mini-milestone of 1200th find for us. We have been here a couple of times before, both times at night and we are pretty sure it was back in the days that we were too ashamed to log DNFs (we have no such issues now and will log DNF without hesitation - not sure why that is). Anyway, we were glad that it was Brightskies who spotted this one for her milestone, in a place that zita had given a cursory glance. It was the theme of the day, zita was 'not on'. We are glad to have this one finally done, TNLNSL TFTC

Ayepeacee and I were on a trip down here from Brisbane for the weekend to visit the lovely zita&enzo. We were caching it up this lovely afternoon and soon realised zita&enzo and i had milestones at the same cache! This was my 300th cache, and i was on the ball. zita&enzo mentioned they had looked for it before. we all hunted for awhile and then i looked in an unlikely spot.. and wow, there it is. I announced the find and we all performed logbook signing rituals before returning the cache. TFTC a23649 and thanks for a fun milestone ^^

I'm certain that I've visited here in the past and DNF'd this one.
No worries today though!

Not what I expected then nor was the last cache "Barking up the wrong tree". Swap the names of these two caches and they would make sense.
Looked for 5 minutes around all the trees then by sheer tin arse luck it was there. Strange caches in Canberra.

TFTC

Ironbark.

I have absolutely no idea. Not even the correct tree having looked at four of them and had the GPS wandering around them all.

Fourth time chipsngravy came to find but brought me as goodluck charm! Must have worked! Night time easier!

Finally! You are my lucky charm muscles n massage

I realised as I approached GZ that I had attempted this in the past, so this is DNF number 2. How annoying!!!!!

We had been here before but the hide got the better of us but today it revealed itself and FFLL1 found rather quickly and we were off to climb so nearby trees. TFTC

535. A search for 5 - 10 minutes yielded naught. Then finally the sneaky little thing became exposed. TFTC.

Searched a lot of borer holes that's for sure. Found on a cache hunt with J+J.au. Great day, enjoying the fun. SLTN..TFTC

Worked hard for this one. Took some looking eventually found it, TFTC

12 May - a beautiful autumn afternoon, and a perfect walk for geograndma. No luck after some 30 mins of searching an extended area as the GPS was playing - also read and re-read the hint. We tried thinking out of the box and saw many a tree with the bark removed or signs of climbling. Down but not out - we will be back. thx mum, thx a23649

Mrs Red_V found this one reasonably quickly considering the rating and the recent logs. A very good find . TFTC.

2nd time lucky find by Geowife..Geohubby walked around this one a few times...TFTC

This one took us a long time to find. It turned out what we thought we were looking for was wrong. We were about to give up but just then we got lucky! We were also fortunate that there were no muggles around at all. TNLNSL TFTC

Missed it mulitple times, then when we decided around where it must be missrenae was right in front of it. tftc

TFTC

Found the Cache Good Hide : )
Took a while to find but eventually got to it

Too hard late at night with only one torch.
Next time.
