Al's Paccas Mount Compass, South Australia, Australia

An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

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.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

7.15. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

no luck today

With some advice from Mogni, I returned to this cache to give it one more go. All of the logs in the vicinity of GZ have now disintegrated (probably just rot) so I doubt the cache has survived. It either needs replacement or archiving.

Look but no find

Could not find it

Could not find like last person took ages and all the trees

Looked for 20minutes. 'Thought tree' as much as I could but it did not become apparent.

Owl was on her way to Victor Harbor but needed a leg stretch. Fortunately when she turned on her GPS there was a cache just over... there! Somewhat soggy area, but the cache was in good condition.

**Out and about with Tomboy as we clean up some caches around the area**...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment spuddymoore...

Love the cassette tape!

Quick park and grab. TFTC

Well a busy road but with alpackers (sp?)

It was getting a bit late and we should have been heading home but who could resist a cache and some cute critters. Found both. TFTC Thanks Spuddymoore

Oh they are so cute! TFTC

In the rain. Tftc

Yay! Easy find, once I worked out where the map meant for us to go <3

No alpacas were harmed in the finding of this cache

I'll have a pack of alpaca cutlets, some alpaca schnitzels and an alpaca blackstrap thanks. And some alpaca jerky to eat on the way home. TFTC. 23/01/2016, 12:04 Find #1289

Out with Sebastbat and Mrs Froghoppin.
Nice to see some 'Paccas on the way.
TNLN TFTC spuddymoore

With Mr frog at work and Mrs frog wanting to go to Seaside seven she teamed up with Sebastbat and Mattycat for a drive to Port Elliot and collect the odd cache or two, having visited this one a few years back with no joy, today was a straight forward find TFTC spuddymoore

Got busted by the property owner, who was putting out her rubbish! Needed to explain to her what I was doing. She thought I was a bit daft, but I think the cache will be safe and sound.

Found It!
I had a DNF here many years ago. Today I stopped again and quickly found the cache! Somehow it has grown into a peach container now!
TFTC

Mogni was in town for one of her flying visits. She had allocated today to catch up and do some caching. So far she hadn't done a OTD series so that would be the order of the day and if time some Cats and Dogs. And of course any other that we were just passing. All up 91 finds and only 3 DNFs.[^]
After complete the January OTD series we headed down to Mount Compass for some coffee break and grabbed a few whilst in the area. Had been just over two years since I last tired and didn't find this cache. Today it was a very easy find and another off my DNF list. Thanks spuddymoore for placing this cache.

Having tried this one previously it was great to eventually get this off my DNF list.
Thanks

Our phones were playing up, sending us from one side of the road to the other for a few minutes. we found this cache while visiting family on Hindmarsh Island. The kids loved the alpacas.

Left some animal cards

Found it but it had water in it and smelt bad, could use a clean and maybe anew container

Tftc

Headed down to victor harbour early to get my numbers up close too 800. Found it quite quick in the 1st place I looked. Tftc

Signed log added metal carabiner and smiley face

Easy find, cute alpacas

Cute hide - good camo - pretty farm !!!

A quick find. TFTC.

Didnt find, probably because looking
in the dark

I was off to Victor Harbor today with Dad to meet someone for afternoon tea and asked to stop here. I had tried to find this cache more than once before but it was never there.

Today I was in luck and a quick find was made. Love the Alpaccas .

Found it with CherryRose on our way to Victor Harbor. Definitely not a mint container. Big plastic container very wet inside. TFTC TNLNSL.

Found out with BearyOrganised on our day geo-caching to Victor Harbor. TFTC TNLNSL

Road trip to Victor Harbor with hevwalker12 today!

Quick and easy find.

Funny name and good location

Mrs J loves alpacas, but then again she loves most cute cuddly animals.

A very quick find was made here, in between volumes of traffic.

Thanks spuddymoore.

Tftc

Good one, pity it was raining!

Found with the Hero Husband (Moneydork). Thanks.

On my way to the Seaside Six event, I was being followed by a brand new caching team, Railmax.
We picked up Ismartis, then JJ52 and headed out for a long and lovely day
I managed 10 cache finds and the event [^] for a great day out..even if Ismartis did ditch JJ52 and I on the way home to go Ingressing

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cache is nothing like an Alpaca...well, except for when they spit!!
I swear that was NOT there every other time I have looked for it!
I also do not know how travellinbees and friends managed to miss it!
Loved watching the alpacas today too as the crias jumped and ran in the paddock [^]

TNLN. SL. TFTC spuddymoore

A nice quick stop on our drive to Victor Harbour.

Up here down. Its not here! Lots of stabbing branches.
To the sea we go travellinbees, ktown krew and harleyjohn to the south side of town. Collecting caches as we go, a long drive we have done, but collecting caches makes it fun. Some sights to see and some things to do, many Smiley's to collect.
Thanks for the caches
Travellinbees

I found it about 6.30pm, heading home. Container damp so we put log in a plastic bag. Either it got replaced after today's searchers left or they just didn't look properly but the cache is in place!

Easy find. . Wet log. Found with Ados31. Tftc

Quick find after our stay at the Mt Compass caravan park. TFTC.

Driving past on my way to Victor for a nice holiday break and decided to stop off here after a previous DNF.
Went straight to the hide and found a wet cache. There was a bit of water in the container which I emptied out, and the log book was wet, but I still managed to stamp and date it. Maybe with all the warm weather it will dry out. [?]
Replaced and headed off again.
Thanks for the cache spuddymoore.

On a caching visit to South Australia with Richmond Lad. After arriving at Adelaide airport, picked up our hire car we headed off towards Goolwa picking up a few caches on the way.
Couldn't believe the number of alpacas in the paddocks. An easy find before we had our lunch. TFTC.

On our way to Middleton where we are staying for the next 5 days. Nearby there were so many Alpaccas. A quick find and whew were on our way. TFTC.

Very tricky

TFTC! The log book is soaked and need to be replaced.

Kids got wet feet looking for container

Found

Thanks for the cache - pages in log book were damp and pen not working. May help if log book was in snap lock bag

Having finished around Murray Bridge and Victor Harbour, time to head back north then east.

Much discussion with McPhan about alpaccas and llamas and how neither of us knew the difference yet. Sorry for the ignorance.

Thanks spuddymoore for the cache.

[center]8300. [green] Always like to see alpacas and/or llamas (one day I'll work out the difference). Took a little bit of searching but no problem.

Thanks for the cache [blue]spuddymoore[/blue] and the wool.[/green][/center]

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo. We left our Cat safely tucked up in the caravan and she was very happy to catch up on her sleep after the stormy conditions of last night.

The weather bureau had forecast that most of the showers would be gone by lunchtime so we decided to head towards Victor Harbour and Port Elliott.

Grabbed as many caches as we could and still sight see as we went.

Your cache was one that helped us see the local area. We were happy that we got to see the steam train ride along past us twice today when we were on the cache trail.

TFTC, Regards from FelixII [^]

Today we make our way back to Victor and after the last 2 failed attempts today we actually make it all the way grabbing quite a few caches along the way, weather was great for us today and still have many more still to find down this way, a nice quick find for us today. TFTC

Found with 3LG on our way to Victor.
This is our 3rd attempt to get to Victor in the last month and today we made it.

Easy find. TNLNTFTC

This cache has definitely been replaced as it was not here last time we looked. Plus it is definitely a small not a micro. TFTC spuddymoore.

Wagging work with the wife. Wonderful.

Found it. Very interesting 'trees' in the area

Nice find with !mike.

Found today after looking in all the spots, thanks for the cache Spuddymoore
Regards
the "paccas" Coffee's

Replaced with a peach container.

Would suggest that this be looked at as per previous notes.

Had a good search with Donnazev and Orange Unicorn, but nothing eventuated. Think that this one is definitely gone. Posting a maintenance for this to be checked. If it is there, I can't see it being a 1.5/1.5 cache based on the number of DNFs.

First DNF for the day with Genghicat & Orange Unicorn.
May need checking on.

Don't think it is their anymore

No luck today

No luck here for us today after a good search.

This has to be the least number of caches I have found on a run to Victor Harbor since I started caching
3 successful locus cache events and 1 DNF
Mr 3LG was looking at a SR250 motorbike and so it was a rushed trip there and back.
I did get to ride the bike though, so that almost made up for it

This was the DNF, again!!
I think this is about my 3rd or 4th time trying to find this cache and a group of us recently failed to find it
Can't wait to finally meet Al's Paccas!
