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.

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

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.

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.

We walked up and found this cache out in the open. Quickly put it back together as best we could and hid as good as this one could be. It might need CO attention to ensure we have put it where it is suppose to be. TFTC
 
On our way from Perth to Darwin we saw many great things and places - many of them thanks to geocaching! We thank the owners for sharing their favorite spots with us by hiding their caches!

Well the cache notes make no sense Smile
Even a bit of Googling the Interweb has not thrown up any sci-fi series that the notes may refer to [:o]
Not even IMDB has been able to help Sad

So ignorant of what I was actually looking for or which planet in which Universe at what time it was supposed to exist, I searched for the cache.

Well that would be it !! Big Grin
Easy find inside "The Pod".
Alas no markings to tell me which mothership it belongs too Sad

Someone explain !!!!!

TFTC by the way Wink

Found with my good friends Probi1-kenobi and our third cache for the day. Needs a little TLC, there is no paper for the log anymore. New to NT for a little while and had a look around Humpty Doo, TFTC.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 33 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the stop for the free Casino Bus I had about 6 hours of caching time available. After hunting down GC12DXE Beatrice by Beagle Team near The Window to The Wetlands I started working my way back towards Darwin.

As I got close to Humpty Doo I made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find of the cache.

My find No 3661, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped Catalunya Geocoin 2009 (ref = TB2VT57), Coconut Monkey (ref = TBKCQ8), FreeAgents Micro-Organism Geocoins (ref = TB2NHRK), Geo Quakobert Jr. (ref = TB3CR63), Phonebox TB (ref = TB27P3G), Team Lisa Geocoin #1 (ref = TB2M9VQ), Travel Racer Formula (ref = TB3FFCT), my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC and my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 2*

A quick find on our way to Darwin from Katherine.
 
26-May-11
Even though the container is slightly exposed, it did take me a couple of minutes to find it.....Doh!
Someone had sprayed the side with "Go Blues" referring to the NSW state of origin on the previous night. Bad luck!
Thanks Pheonixrider123.
 
22-May-11
owner needs to check on the location and condition of cache.
 
22-May-11
easy enough find, as its highly visable to all, the log is wet and soggy(didnt have a replacement with me), does need checking by the owner.
TFTC, TNLN
 
24-Apr-11
found on holidays with just cruizen, log was wet unable to write names. tftc Smile
 
15-Apr-11
nice find... bugger the rain was gunning down on myself and JUST CRUIZEN tftc
 
11-Mar-11
I suggest the CO find a better place to hide this cache... and remove the wet and soggy "old" log from the systema container.
 
11-Mar-11
An easy find as the cache was in a puddle in the middle of the area. On opening, it was FULL of water, the log a sorry soggy mess, the parachutes mouldy, the chain on the TB gone rusty....

Cleaned and dried out the cache container, placed a new log in the box in a plastic bag, threw out the mouldy bits, dried out the swaps and replaced the "log".

Took the GC and the TB. TFTC
 
27-Jan-11
Nice quick find - in between the rain. Dropped a coin and TB, TFTC
 
18-Jan-11
Very quick find. I hid it the best that I could. TFTC
 
12-Nov-10
Quick find tnln but agree with c.r, too exposed but good cache anyway
 
05-Nov-10
FTF. Am concerned this won't last long as very exposed considering area would be used by younger muggles throughout the day, Could see it from the car-maybe needs to be taken away from that particular spot.Difficulty and terrain definitely not 2 stars.Took TB.
