4.23. 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.

It's been awhile since last update.

Oopsies. Didnt see you disabled it because we planned to come here earlier and screenshotted the details for when we didnt have a phone. Nonetheless, we still found it regardless of the smushed logbook. TFTC! #77

Disabling this one for now to do Maintenance.

Another cache with many favourite points drew Team Spider's attention and we delayed our departure just a little longer to make a find. The boys remained in the car while I jumped out, ran over and quickly extracted the cache. I cannot add my name to the log as it's sodden and smushed into the bottom of the cache so I've taken a selfie if required for proof of find. TFTC CSavvy.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found it but the logbook was too wet to sign. Great cache though!

Rode the mountain bikes around the bike trails around Mt Barker, grabbing caches along the way. Great trails in a lovely area. Great design for the cache - fav point for the design. Log book was too damp to sign though.

A fun and clever find on a cool Saturday afternoon. Sadly the log is now a soggy mess so was unable to sign. Please replace so many more can enjoy

Out with Getnict and Sir_Spectre for a days caching. Short search and found the cache. Log needs replacing

found it with getnict and rod81w. quick find but log soaked.

Out and about doing some caching with sir_spectre and Rod81w. Grabbing caches along the way to complete some multi's that we had previously started.

Thanks

**#9804**

A nice easy find. Log is pretty soggy.

Thanks for the cache CSavvy. Found on 16 Mar 2017 at 1:16 pm. Find #4121.

Found with vj187. A quick find but we almost changed our minds as we couldn't open it. Log is wet. A definite favourite. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Find No. 1666. Found with FUF009 at 7.15pm.

Staying in Mount Barker for the week, for our annual holiday to see the Santos Tour Down Under Bicycle Event.

Day Four of racing and today was our turn to particiapte by doing the BUPA ride which meant a 5.30am start to the day, and finishing in Campbletown.

Back in Mount Barker and our only free night left for these holidays we decided to go around and grab a few caches locally. On our list we had nine caches to find, of which we only found six, the other three being DNF's.

This hide we found very tricky and had almost given up when FUF009 came up with the goods. Gee whizz, and to think that we had looked in that spot before him and were ready to give up.

Find # 4153
Found with Tyred n Cranky

In Mount Barker (our Home for the week) for our annual trip to watch the Santos Tour Down Under Bike race.

After their big day doing the BUPA ride Tyred n Cranky wanted to find a few caches around Mount Barker. some I had previously found so was able to help.
This one was one that i had passed by last year.
With 3 sets of eyes it took some time to locate the tricky hide.

TFTC CSavvy

Clever cool cache

Very clever

No luck. Exposed high muggle area!

Found on Geo hunt with nanajoan 7 from WA. TNLN SL Thanks.

Owl was heading home from Victor Harbor and realised she had time to pick up a few extra caches before hitting the freeway. Finding the cache wasn't too hard, getting it out took some effort and some muggle dodging. She normally ignores requests for favourite points, but is happy to make an exception in this case.

Clever. Glad the owner knows what we're doing!

Tricky hide but managed to find
Tftc

Get low near poles

Get low

TFTC awesome little spot

Another quick visit to Mt Barker, so we thought we'd hunt out at least one cache while we were here.
Thought we'd tackle this one while there was less likelihood of small muggles and their parents being in the area. Instead we were "sprung" by the CO as he was headed out.
A favourite point from us for this clever cache. TFTC CSavvy! Love your work!

Cute little cach! Thanks

Luckily we were not here during a high muggle period. The clever little cache was located easily. Thanks for the effort put into this one, the favourite of our afternoon. TFTC

Nice sneaky hide. Was hoping this was not a finger up the pipe job. It isn't. TFTC.

Almost gave up on this one. We were standing looking at GPS when the homer owner / cache owner came home from work. Said he'd help if needed, but left us to it. Found it without help shortly after. CO was nice enough to run inside and bring out a couple of 'trinkets' - unactivated geocoins! Thanks for the gifts and the cache CSavvy. Have a favourite point. Very nice hide.

Awesome!! TFTC. SL.

Well thats a great hide. Well done to the makers. Found on a day out caching with family4p sl tftc

Found it with Beary Organised what a very clever hide, was a bit concerned about being by people's gardens. This one deserves a Favourite point. TFTC TNLNSL

Found it with CherryRose on our afternoon of caching fun in and around Mt Barker. Cool hide. Worth a favorite point. Took a bit of wiggling, pull slowly. TFTC TNLNSL.

Awesome hide. Ingenious. Tftc. First fond on geo mums birthday.

I was in mount barker today for a lego meet up. I had master 11 with me who had never been geocaching before but wanted to see what i do when i'm out photographing my lego.

The budding geokid spotted this before i did. He's got keen eyes. Retrieved cache with minor coaxing. Lovely hide.

Wouldn't budge

Very cool design. Cache in good condition. Fav point for sure.

Love the design! Excellent location

Wow a good hide. Just wiggle a little bit

Found it while waiting for geo-daughter to finish her gymnastics. Great ingenuity in the cache. I love the way that people think outside the box to come up with some great ideas. I have seen a similar chache, but not quite as good. certainly worth a favourite

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺

Loved this cache, an easy find. SL.

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Enjoyed this one. Nice hide. Thanks CSavvy

Wow - awesome little hide - very well done.

Clever. All these clever caches we are finding and we will prob not be allowed to place any like these ourselves. New rules and all. .
This was fun. tftc

Given favourite point only because of the uniqueness of the cache been out today picking up some caches now home I go

Clever hide, just need to take some care. TFTC

Mrs Froghoppin and Mattycat plumbing services stopped by here in the dark and the rain.
Luckily it was an easy retrieval and all was signed and stowed.

Found this one on my roadtrip while exploring Hahndorf & surrounds. Sneaky hide, found quickly. Nicely constructed, earns a favourite from me.

Thanks for the great hide &
greetings from Germany

Sorry for the late log. Found our family caching day out. Caught by the person who lives there (who had a bit of a laugh at us trying to get it out) Simple enough and in plain view which I like. Great hide, TFTC!

What a creative way to hide a cache! I'm glad there was a tip on extraction or I'd have dismantled something, I expect . As it was, though, some gentle coaxing eased the little cache from its hidey hole and the log was signed. I enjoyed the hide, TFTC, CSavvy. =^.^=

Cleverly done. Thanks CSavvy.

TFTC

Second day on the road together with Cats&Dragons & Slieschke collecting geocaches in and around Adelaide. Signed the logs as “SAC” (and some with another letter combination). Quick stop after getting a German Prezel in town. TFTC

Thanks for the Cache. Found while visiting Hahndorf over Easter having a geocache competition with some friends!

Found with Cats&Dragons as we left Mount Barker en-route to a day of caching with vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 before heading onto the Oz Mega.

A very nice original hide.

Thanks!

Located in partnership with Slieskhe on our way to the OZ MEGA, soon located and off we were once again
great hide well thought out and deserving of a favorite

Thanks for the placement

Found on our quick road trip between Melbourne and Adelaide. Apologies for the late logging. TFTC

Quick but tricky! TFTC

A tricky little sucker, altho not too difficult to retrieve once we found the hide. A bit of shoelace tying was required to distract any nearby residents. We didn't see any, but I always feel cautious in these muggle-prone residential type of areas. A clever cache - thanks.

Out with 3LG and Clare007 for some locus caching
Afternoon stretched into night and there were some hours spent searching for a few caches which just did not get found!
All up between 3.30pm and 12.45am we had 16 finds and 7 DNFs
Some of these cache hides, if they are still in place, are pure EVIL!

Our first cache after picking up Clare007 and the log was very wet, so we placed it into a dry plastic bag and then added a new log sheet in another dry plastic bag.
Interesting hide.

TNLN. SL. TFTC CSavvy

Out caching with Locus Cache and Clare007, this was a interesting hide, water was leaking in but i blocked the hole so now the cache should stay dry : )

TFTC

Found It!
The cache was full of water and the logsheet is no good. It's a shame these neat little hides are PM only
TFTC

I came here today and had a pleasant experience, although it did require some detective work, after a short search I looked through the logs to find that ants built a nest on top of the cache. I went looking and that mound of mud did look like an abandoned ant's nest. So I found a stick and dug, and I found the cache. Sneaky hide, made even sneakier by ants! TFTC. I gave it a fav point!

Hi greenshoots,
Sorry to hear that this Cache did not work out for you. Unfortunately, I'm not god, and did not place the ants there to inconvenience you. I will however Issue them with a Cache restraining order and make sure they are evicted within 28 days. Happy caching

Grr... Grrr! I hate this cache!! First of all it's really busy because it is next to the school. However there was no-one nearby today, apart from some people getting into a car behind the conveniently placed bush behind me. Cache was exactly where I had thought it might be on my last visit, but was BURIED and occupied by an ants nest. I'm not talking your little, slightly annoying black ant here, but no - the big, very annoyed and aggressive ones!!! Ants swarmed everywhere as I tried to get the cache out, they were in the hiding place and everything, no I couldn't put my fingers in to help the cache out!!! Please CSavvy, this is too hard - I can't do big ants like this! My little tweezers would be no use here, I would need surgery forceps!! Will I return...I think not!

Easily found and a great idea. One of our favourites. TFTC

Very original! Owner drove off in car as we began search. Would have had a chat if we'd known. Helps to read description! Tftc

Clever hide TFTC

Took a while, then noticed the grey pipe! tftc

Log book replaced.

Will be replacing the log book as it's currently full. This cache will be back in business real soon!
cSavvy.

Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia....

Only time for one cache in Mt Baker as we are on our way into Adelaide for Christmas event!

Liked the hide, thanks CSavvy!

Log book was full and needs replacing!

Found while no one in area school not out
Found with fellow cachers
Earthlight and RKM Chocolate Thunder
Took trackables for a visit
tftc

A quick find even though a bit apprehensive about leaning into peoples garden.
A quiet place today as kids still in school.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

not sure what i was doing wrong or whether i just didn't get it
i found myself reading previous logs and knew i was in the right place
i just couldn't locate the little bugger apart from landscaping there front garden
thanks anyway csavvy

Found on a short caching afternoon in Mount Barker.

Street was very quiet, and after pacing up and down following the GPS the clues didn't match the location. Spied the location without the GPS after rechecking the clues, dodged a muggle and signed the log between two cars that had driven up the road. Definitely a favourite tick from me, cheers CSavvy.
Just letting you know the roll the cache is getting quite full.
Cheers, Clare.

DEFINITELY DESERVES A FAVOURITE! TFTC

On an Adelaide Hills run with The Turner Gang, voogoofish and Dorkess37. Great job!

Creative little hide. Special thanks to homeowner that allowed the placement of this cache! TFTC!

Found it on a nice Sunday afternoon drive to Mt Barker. Had read the logs and were feeling a little worried before we arrived. But it was all good. No-one about at all. Geo-Mum spied it and Geo-Son retrieved it, the log was signed and replaced all with in 1 minute. Not hard just felt very obvious. Thanks for the cache.

Ok this one I have been to 3 times now, twice in the day time and then tonight. 3rd time lucky, first place we looked and also the quickest.... dont know what we were doing last few times. I think GPS was sending us another direction but not tonight. Found with Dory girl. TFTC.

Found on the 13 th of march but forgot to log it! TFTF!
