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.

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 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.

Didn't find but didn't look hard. Found notepad loose in the creek, so maybe it's lost. Worth checking.

We found it. It had been spread out around the area. We have placed it in a tree near a rock close to the original place.

We didn't have GPS last time we visited Strath so made a second visit while walking Izdog along the Angas River linear park. This time a quick find. Doh how did we miss that last time? I think we were too tied up with the tree last time. Thanx

If town for the night. I ducked out to nail some of the local sights, whilst my sister was left to do her horsing around.
Rule number 1, always take a pen or pencil with you. Oops my bad, lucky someone had left glitter glue in there. Just have to sit and admire local birds whilst it dries. Great spot!!! TFTC

15-Oct-14
A quick find and the second visitor to this one today. Did wonder what was written on the missing plaque near GZ. And why do the people across the creek [if you can call it that] have a set of steps down to what looks like a jungle?
Thanks for the smiley.
 
05-Oct-14
Just out for the day and took a long stroll completing some exercises along the way.

Only just managed to sign the log sheet, it's dripping wet and the cache needs urgent attention by the CO - a lovely walk this morning TFTC

Start of a new day, having been around Murray Bridge the last couple of days, and now on our way to Victor Harbour.

All a bit sodden after the rain so picked our way carefully to the litter strewn GZ. Looked in the obvious spots and then discovered it was out in the open cammoed by the other stuff. Contents surprising dry.

Thanks imhidingsa for the cache.
 
09-Jul-14
[center]8222. [green] We came and searched for quite a bit but nothing fitted the cache title. Then I decided to check the bit of rubbish that we had both discounted and it was the cache lying out in the open. We did our logging and put it back as described. Might be worth checking on to make sure it's where it should be.

Thanks for the cache [blue]imhidingsa[/blue] and the hyphen.[/green][/center]

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

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo. Today we decided to head across to Strathalbyn and collect some caches on the back roads before/after. Well the forecast was for lightning and thunderstorms after lunch so we made our list but werent sure how many caches we would get to tackle before abandoning the hunt for today.

The weather held off until approx 3pm so we got most caches on our list attempted, but sadly we had a few more DNF's today than our average. [B)]

So much history in these places visited today. Just magnificent. Cool We grabbed some lunch from the bakery near 'Platform One' then walked down by the river to this cache.

Thanks for helping us tour SA whilst using Geocaching imhidingsa

TFTC, Regards from FelixII [^]

We found this cache out in the open. Maybe a dog has dragged it from wherever it should be. Have covered it for now but certainly needs checking on. [8)]
 
03-Jul-14
Yay our first find, what fun! Started in the right place but didn't find so Spent a little time looking in the wrong place went back to the original spot and had a better look and hooray! Kids lived the challenge. It's still too soggy to write in but was great to find it. Thank you
 
22-Jun-14
Soggy, lonely cache, but fun finding it!
 
18-Jun-14
I cant believe it took us that long to find. but we finally found it. It is water logged and too wet to sign the log
 
06-Jun-14
This one had me going around in circles for a while, checked all the obvious spots to no avail, geowife came down and soon had cache in hand, who would think to look there, picked up a few empty bottles near GZ. TFTC

A quick and easy find while out with Angus for a 5th Birthday ride trying out his new Garmin Edge.
Container was out in the middle of nowhere, hid it back a little better but still quite open.
Thanks imhidingsa.

Today was planned as a day to broaden our focus a little beyond caching. The Strathalbyn area offered everything we were looking for - including some caches Wink
The scenery was splendid and the old buildings with their iconic SA architecture scored many favourite points from us and the Suscoes.

TNLN .. . . . SL . . Thanks to imhidingsa for the hunt.

Suscoe headed out this way today in the company of Phetlern as we worked out way through the Strathalbyn area to enjoy some caching in the Bremer Valley and beyond.
It was a magical day with scattered cloud, a gentle breeze, a good variety of caches and good company.
The country side was staring to look green mixed in with some bushland settings that still looked dry.
This cache was found, logged and returned. One of 27 finds for the day.
A serious cache of de ja vu here.
Thanks to imhidingsa for this cache in a delightful park.

Took a while before I could look because of people in the area but eventually got a free moment so quickly snapped It up and got it back and out of there ASAP.

Looked for a while without any success, so maybe it's gone missing.

We spent way too long looking for this cache. First of all we managed to end up on the wrong side of the river and in the backyard of the nearby B & B. Of course, we were spotted by the owner who came down to find out what we wanted in her garden.

After finally getting to GZ, we spent ages looking high and low for a cache, but came up with nothing. If we'd known about this caches chequered past, we'd probably have bypassed it completely.
 
29-Dec-13
Restarting caching with this little beauty
 
01-Dec-13
Nice find tftc sl tn ln Smile

Owl is not quite sure where the cache is supposed to be, as it was pretty exposed. She’s hidden it a bit better, but it needs some urgent TLC.
 
08-Nov-13
Went for a walk with the dog and came across it

18-Oct-13
Been here a few time with no success, but I found a container behind the large item near GZ.
Not sure if this is the cache, it was a small tupperware container very exposed with a keyring, the metal ring had left a rusty film on the bottom of the container which had water in it.
I drained it, wiped out the water found the missing log bag & popped in a log.
I then hid it between the large rock & the embankment.
If this is not the cache, please feel free to remove the cache.
Cheers imhidingsa

Cache needs some serious maintenance as the contents are mushy and the cache is fairly open to the weather and muggles. Sorry we had nothing with us today to help.
 
30-Sep-13
Just wandered in and guessed which rock and sure enough there was the cache just sitting there not really covered except by a few weeds. The contents are all mushy so it was hard to sign the log and we looked around for some extra camo for it but nothing nearby, so replaced as best we could. TFTC

Found a couple of weeks ago

Needs bad maintenance found it not hidden stinks and the book was so wet we could not sign it.

They say seek and yea shall find, we did a lot of seeking but no finding. TF the search.
 
10-Jul-13
Didn't find might've been stolen
 
20-Jun-13
Went back for another look and found it! Not where I was expecting and I am sure that I checked there previously, also it did not look much like an imhidingsa cache and it was not a micro. Coords a little off but not too much.

Log book was very soggy and needs some maintenance.
 
30-May-13
Imhidingsa, can you please confirm that the cache is still in place? Thanks.
 
29-May-13
Mrs MWOLLTTO, her friend and 14 children (Geokids and friends) went back to have a look for this one but still could not find it! Maybe muggled?
 
19-May-13
Tried both sets of coordinates and found a likely spot but no joy! Sad
 
16-Apr-13
Found it! My first one and I forgot a writing stick
 
03-Mar-13
Suspect maybe muggled, fair half hour search. Nice spot. No water.
