As there has been no CO response to the last request to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [Unarchive a geocache](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention

Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook. Unfortunately, there are one or more comments in regard to the state of the cache log for this cache, which leads one to the contention that the cache container is no longer weather proof.

A basic tenet of geocaching is that **the cache log needs to be signed to record a find,** see here: [Logging of All Physical Geocaches](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging). At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache. I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)

Please respond to this situation by **27th June** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

**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.

Needs maintenance.

Can't believe we haven't grabbed this one before. Spotted it on our way to Beechworth today. Read the description and wasn't sure if the trains would start today or tomorrow. Quick park n grab as they set up for the Easter event across the rd. Logbook is completely soaked. Gently scratched our name in but needs replacing. Tftc

Found on the way to beechworth for a day of caching with the_jorgo crew. This was the first find of the day. Log very wet only just managed to sign it.. sorry i didnt have a spare log on me to replace it for you.

A quick one on the way to Beechworth to get our eye in with chief Stevo.

Cache log book is water logged &
Swaps in cache have rusted. Small swap left

Found on the way back from Beechworth. The log book is saturated and will need replacing.

Thanks emnjared

Good find!! Couldn't log as book was soppong wet..tftc

Tyfc. Log saturated req replacement

No attempt to write log. Impossible so wet.

One of 2 quick finds on my way to Beechworth for a week of caching
Note the log was very wet and will have to be replaced
Thanks for the cache emnjared

Found. (...half full of water and the logbook is saturated.)

It's not often these days I get a leave pass for not one night, but two, so I leapt at the chance to come caching up the North East, where my last occasion was 2 years ago. Joined with my caching buddy Pacman, who's happy like me to go caching day and night. We had our eyes on some adventure, scenery, scenic views and of course some rare DT! We had a successful weekend managing to squeeze in quiet a bit over our time here, and despite torrential rain Friday, has great weather Friday and Saturday. A massive massive thanks to each and every CO who placed caches for us to find, you provided much entertainment and showed us the sights of your beautiful countryside.

A quick pick up here. Even the drive bys here are amazing with such countryside. Loved it - Cheers!

This turned out to be quite an adventurous caching roadtrip to the Albury/Wodonga region with Jacko83. Targetting some of the higher DT caches meant we spend a few days hiking, climbing and 4WDing in wonderful places - exactly the type of caching we enjoy the most !

This was a quick drive-by and welcome rest after doing some hill hiking nearby.
Thanks, emnjared.

??

Easy

I was signing the log when a woman appeared from nearby trundling her wheelie bins away and looking at me suspiciously. Quickly rehid and away TFTC emnjared

RobWinmar said he didn't see my "Airstream" travel bug in this cache. Any chance on checking to see if it is still there? Thanks.

I stopped by the side of the road and made a quick find. Nice location!

TFTC. We are camped at the Wodonga Showgrounds for a few days and taking the opportunity to explore a bit. This sounded interesting so we went for s short drive out of town. Nice easy find. Left a TB.

TJV 30/01/16
Took a blue stone
Left a gold necklace

I drove pad this one and had to come back. Quick find with TaurusSix.

Knew where the cache was from the road! Nice one

A quick stop on the way to Beechworh, meeting some Australian friends we met 18 years ago. Dankä für dä Cache from Switzerland.

Took no time at all, knew where the cache was from a large distance awqy

Last leg of my long drive, took the road via Beechworth to add some caches and sights to my day.
This one was an easy find, quiet at the CFA today, assume they where very busy yesterday.
Thanks for the cache

It was uncovered so I hid it a little bit better. TFTC

Look, it's a great hide but with the amount of long grass and heat at the moment definitely isn't the safest spot. Prodded around with a big long stick where I knew it would be until I could see it and the legged it before any locals (fauna) got angry.

If the next person to find it is a little more game than me feel free to cover it up with something a little better than I did.

First find for Meg3680 family. Great fun ( yes, lots of thistles)

Found on a glorious spring morning. Been meaning to grab this for a while. Didn't realise the Leneva Cfa was here. Another smilie. Tftc.

Geokids found it first. Good fun.

A quick grab and go picked up by or 6yo before we all could even get out of the car. He's getting good at this.
Tftc

Nice easy find! Good hiding place.And lots of fun

We were on our way to our accommodation at Indigo Valley when I noticed just one more cache to find. Well we could hardly just sail past and not stop could we?
I wish we'd had more time to check out the historical buildings and equipment across the road.
There are lots of large thistles growing around ground zero which will soon make acquiring the cache very difficult

My grandad and I found this nice cache while on our way to Beechworth. We were already enjoying the drive from Albury - the countryside views were great! The hills towering above this cache with cattle grazing were a scenic bonus too. I found the container fairly quickly and signed the logbook before heading on our way.

Our thanks to emnjared for this neat cache!!

Cool cache

Are GPS went all over the place for this one but finally tracked it down.

Found while on our way to Buckland Valley for some camping after a big week of work.
Cache is nice and dry!

Battery running low. Nearly home time

Nice quick find on way to beechworth

Find #947

Spent a few days in the area and as we were heading from Wodonga to Beechworth Tarbit spotted the steam rally and wanted to have a look. We stopped but I must admit I thought the entry fee was a bit steep given we only wanted a quick look around so I elected to stay outside and check out this nearby cache. Just had to be wary of cars coming and going to park nearby and the cache was soon in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited my personal TB. Thanks for the cache emnjared.

Found after an interesting couple of hours spent at the steam festival across the road. I see from previous logs that the CO is related to caching friends of mine (National Steel and Gill & Tony). Geohubby spotted it (I must have still had some soot in my eyes from all the steam engines. SL TFTC

#14 on our Beechworth adventure with kiki37 and kudjro. Our last find for today, Kudjro had it in hand without even stopping. TFTC

Nice quick find TFTC

A quick find on my trip around the area hunting tree caches. Interesting are across the road. TFTH

Out grabbing a few caches with Happy Pants and a few of the geokids. There were not only trains but fire trucks to be scene today. Thanks emnjared.
#1696

On a long weekend caching around albury and district.
Quick grab in between the muggle traffic.
Thanks emnjared

We pulled up across the road and wondered if we would be too close to the local cfa who were currently doing their Sunday morning truck run. We assessed the gz and realised that we wouldn't be intruding and made a quick find, thanks emnjared for the cache.

Once we found GZ we didnt have any trouble finding it
TFTC

Busy day at gz. Quick scrimmage with Indianagleeson TFTC

TFTC!
Found with Shellumbus.

Find Number 658, found at 12:35

This year we had Christmas with the family in Wodonga. While the grandkids played with their toys, GeoSon NationalSteel and I sneaked out to find a few caches. I had two specific caches to find and once those were out of the way we picked up a few more on the way back to base.

We had to find this one as it is owned by GeoDaughter EmnJared and we would never live it down if we failed. Fortunately NationalSteel made the find after getting distracted for a while and a big sigh of relief was heard.

The cache was in good condition. We took nothing, left nothing, signed the log and replaced the container as found.

Thanks emnjared for the cache.

Well, we had to stop at this one, now didn't we? A quick find at the obvious landmark, although I did get inexplicably distracted by the fence for a minute or two. TFTC!

This was the first find of the first day of riding on this year's GVBR. A nice quick find at 12:25 despite the muggle cyclist resting just on the other side.

TNLNSL. Thanks emnjared.

Staying at a caravan park in Wodonga for a few days, to cache around the area.

Parked close by, to block the views of nearby muggles, for a quick find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, emnjared, for us and others to find.

Yes! A long weekend! Time to get out of the Can and go on a geomission around Aubury-Woodonga with Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL #1

Day two of our geomission around the area and today's target was the HSS series as well as any randoms we decided to pick up on the way there and back.

Moving right along with our journey and this one was the next stop for us. Nice, easy find at GZ

Thanks for the hide, emnjared

Well the weekend was upon us and the planned Geomission with specimenX and FurfacesLL in Albury/Wodonga was here

We had been planning this weekend for sometime now and had been busy solving puzzles in preparation for the weekend. We spent the weekend doing the HCRT trail, some of the HSS series and some surrounding areas.

After a big day yesterday out on the HCRT series, it was time to head off for another big day targeting some of the HSS series caches.

Didnt take too long to retrieve this one, logging duties performed and we were on our way again.

Thanks for the cache emnjared

Headed to Albury this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild and specimenX.

Today was the day to attack the HSS trail, not starting out as early again as we had planned this was going to be interesting to see if we would actually finish this one as well. Well all except for the ones that required bike riding. Neither myself or specimenX were getting on a bike again today.

We solved all the puzzles that we could when we knew we were heading on this Geomission.
There certianly is some lovely country side down this way.
We also picked up other caches along the way on and off the HSS trail.

Another one ticked off on our journey, logging duties performed and then on our way again.

TFTC emnjared

This was very well hidden underneath the growth here, but was found in the end. Thanks for the history emnjared, and for showing me this place

Was gettin a bit on the dark side, but wife and ferals found it like they had radar. Good stuff . TFTC..

It was dirty work but we found it after a few minutes of searching. Tftc.

Tftc easy find

Quick find on a wet misty morning. #40 for our trip. TFTC

Headed down the really long thin black line this time to Victoria to try to finish off the HCRT Series. And attempt another couple of series in Northern Victoria. Day four of the adventure left Myrtleford early morning and headed back to the Hoopshot series, To pick up a few more before wending my way home. Hoping to find a few more on the way. What a spectacular place here in what I suppose you call the High Country of Victoria, No matter where I go in Australia I find a place that’s got the Wow factor. Great cache. TFTC

Quick drive by, found after a bit of scrabbling through the debris.

Just about to give up when weirdobiker with super persistence found the cache. A lesson to me in persistence and thinking like cacher.

Just about to give up with the amount of debris to sift through when our persistence paid off.

Too much debris here.

Certainly a lot of debris but, after a short search, I managed a find! SL TFTC

Stopped off on our way to Beechworth for lunch

A lot of debris to sort through and urgency to get to Melbourne didn't permit us to have a long search.

Found it @ 9:52am with Kaboombibum, a quick stop on our way to Wodonga. We have driven past this cache many times but always on a tight schedule but today we had spare time to stop and grab a smilie. We searched and poked around for awhile and almost gave up but we were finally rewarded with a smilie.
TFTC

Finally!! This has to be one of my first DNFs from a few months back when I started geocaching. I have called in to look for this cache several times as I drive past it daily to and from work. My GPS has had me in the same place every time, just on the outside of the tree branches (when looking down on the map). As winter progressed further the grass got longer and the prickly plants tougher. I looked and look so many times!
I noticed that the area had been trimmed back this week so I took another go at it today. Again the GPS told me the same place but I could see it was wrong today with the grass cut.
I searched all around again and nothing jumped out. There is still a lot of weed growing on the roadside of the tree... Is it in there I asked myself before trying to look. Again nothing. As I was about to give up hope again I gave one last dig and scratch around an area I had thought I'd searched thoroughly, bingo!! Hurray! Joyful way to usher in the weekend! Now I can drive past happily each day!
A sneaky hide with all the natural camo from the weeds and debris!

The grass is taller then the Geokid

This was our first cache found in Victoria and 15th for the day coming from Gundagai. Steamin' on now.

Quick find today by geodad, although its a bit Prickly as there are so many prickles in the area! TFTC emnjared

Nice Find , Love This Drive . TNLN SL . Thanks .

Had a go at this one years ago and happened to come back along this road today to give it another go. Despite a muggle parking at the CFA managed to grab it and sign.... TFTC

A bit away from the action but could see the connection, TNLN, Thanks

2419. Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0900 on a tour of some of the region.We love the alternate Mondays to go seeking. There was lots of smoke today.SL Tnx emnjared

Quite an easy find on our way from Beechworth to Cooma. TFTC.

NoWorryMan

On a wet morning, the demister on the geomobile was doing it's best to stop me getting steamed up
With enough fog cleared, I managed to find me way to GZ
A quick find in the rain, thank you !!
The steam rally has been going a long time across the road !!
I remember poking around one back in 1990
TFTC.

Found after searching the likely spot. TFTC

Quick find on the way to Bright. TFTC TNLN.

After a job or two in Wodonga I was headed across to Myrtleford and happened to spot this cache so I pulled up to grab it. Lo and behold Robmc and Bettyboo wandered by and saw me here so they pulled up and said hello. Amazing co-incidence since I rarely come past here in the normal course of work trips.
Thanks emnjared

Busy road steam trains were fun as a child TFTC

Nice easy find.
Found with ThaFlava.
TFTC.

Found with Jamie2750 TFTC

Never knew about the steam train before this cache.

Sorry emnjared for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks emnjared for placing this cache.

Spent the day in Albury, finishing up some more of the Rail Trail and spending some time caching with my mate Roostaman. Had three of my kids with me, Jasmine, James and Jemma, and they were pretty good on the day, which was great. About 25 for the day in all, so not a huge amount, but, what we did was of a pretty high quality all round. Thanks to all the CO's on the day for the hides.

A quick find here by me and Roosta. TFTC, and on our way again.

Find # 4946 on a run around Wodonga with Black Legend and 3 kids.
Another nice quick find and then on the way again.
TNLNSL TFTC emnjared,
Roostaman.

[:(!] Flew to Adelaide with geowife to visit my geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his geofamily for several days, then we headed of to Albury/Wodonga in my geoson geocar to visit a couple of geosons and their geofamily, while in Albury I took my geoCharlie (Granddaughter) to pickup several for the afternoon, on arrival at GZ we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes.

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH Emnjared

We have been past with friends since this area was mowed and cleaned up and can assure you the cache is still there.

nice find

Area has been mowed and grass and dirt graded into a heap

We parked on the opposite side of the road and crossed over to GZ Mrs 2755 dived straight into the long grass surrounding the cache and made a quick find.
TFTC.

Spent today going up a few hills in Wodonga with Bettyboo3747.
This was my first for the day was we travelled north.
I didn't even notice the steam stuff until I had found the cache and was heading back to the car.
Thanks, Robmc.

Geonan found after high stepping all the green spring growth.
Thanks, we didn't know enthusiasts of that nature were out this way.
