Quart Pot Creek ~ #8 ~ Stanthorpe, Queensland, Australia
By 2 shadows on 02-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3DP7A

Attending the QLD Mega Event and started by doing some close by caches. Went looking for this one before realising that it has been archived [;(] Aries44.

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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

why is this cache disabled with hundreds of cachers here for the MEGA.

Please enable or ask for help with maintenance.

Sounds like this one is not there. Maintenance please?

Actually, just noticed not one but two previous unacknowledged red wrenches on this one, so I'm guessing mine will also be ignored. Upgrading to Needs Archived.

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.

like others couldn't find
are the co-ords the same

We looked and looked.

I think the CO should check if it is still present...

Please check this cache. We looked everywhere - as did many others before us

Adding our names to the growing list. Searched all over the area with 2 sets of pretty experienced eyes. Really don't think this one is here.

It's not there

Looked everywhere

Cache is missing, don't know what last finder thought he found but it wasn't the cache.

Well, I had a really good look for this one, since I could leave the GeoSchnauzers in the shade. No sign of it. I'd have declared it missing due to all the DNF logs, except that the last mob found it. You must have done a really, really good hide. Onya!!

Tftc

Did not find.

Dnf first on this trip had good search but no luck

Looked everywhere but could not find

Couldn't find it. Looks like a lid has been left though.

we didn't make the find either. I was going to PAF but they are away in the states so that wouldn't help. so we searched a bit more before giving up. when you get home we will check in with you.

Couldn't find it for the life of us....
Think Muggles may have taken it...

This was the first of these Quart Pot caches for me. Will have to revisit Stanthorpe to find the rest of them. Thanks to 2 shadows and Team Robins for bringing us to Stanthorpe to look for caches. Love the street names around here, such as "Talc Street", to remind us of minerals and mining.

An easy find, typical for this type of GZ. Thanks 2 shadows

Found while in the area attending the C I J event held at the Summit. A quick find before stopping for lunch. TFTC.

In town for the Christmas in July event & decided to grab a few caches in town.

Easy park n grab.

TFTC

Couldn't find it! Can someone check on this one? On to the next one!!!

Looked for a while but wasn't able to find this one

Searched high & low but no go here today. Moving on to the next one. Thanks anyway, nice area.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Weekend out with Mischievous Maverick on a bit of a numbers run. Appreciate the effort required to place and maintain these series. TFTH

On a caching run with The Green Geckos and some muggles, we managed a HAUL of geocaches. Was a very busy weekend with little to no rest (for the wicked cachers, that is!).

An enjoyable day of caching with LazzaL around Stanthorpe - lots of interesting hides. It was a great day to be around the town becasue most people were at the show. Thanks to 2 shadows

Another nice day in Stanthorpe with friends Bruce & Liz, decided to have an easy day and just find a few around town. This is number 7 for the day. A nice easy find thanks 2 shadows

This cache has been moved due to the cached being muffled to often.

Coordinates changed from:
S 28° 39.073 E 151° 55.910

Coordinates changed to:
S 28° 39.140 E 151° 55.930

Distance from original: 420.9 feet or 128.3 meters.
S 28 39.140 E 151 55.930
Due to the fact that this cache was being muggled frequently we decided to move it to a new location. It is still close to the Quart Pot Creek. You can walk to it or drive to it. Please be stealthful and place it back to the original place. You are seeking an eclipse tin.

Nothing here either

Can't find it either

No sign of a cache for me either

I had look for this one and again come up with nothing. Left because a group of school kids were heading over.

Could the co please check.

We searched and searched, but a DNF for us also.

I tried again to find this cache in the rain this morning
Those last two finder's logs seem a bit sus now [:o]
There is no cache to be found on the palm tree !!! [:o]
I combed the fronds for a good 20 minutes this morning !!

Nothing, nada, nix !! to be found !!

This cache went AWOL a long time ago, or my name isn't Justin Timberlake

Good

Came back out to Stanthorpe to finish the Quart Pot Creek run as last time it was pouring down and cold. so only did one [^] ...This one had its ups and downs, boys on skateboards and the house across the road watching [^] Love this town, clean tidy and the sights are great [^] ...Thank you 2 shadows for bring us out here. [^]

Looks like it's gone

Right on sunset and there were kids in the skate park, but we nonetheless searched every nook and cranny within the clue reference but had no luck. Decided to give up and find somewhere to have dinner instead. Though I'm a little suspicious at three people in a row now unable to find...

no luck this time as there was a family using park we didn't hang around too long.

will keep till next time.

got spiked a few times, had a few others still to go in the series so decided to try again another time.

TFTC. Nice to find a few caches with grandparents.

Here for the weekend, for the Xmas in June Event. This was cache No 1 for the day. TFTC

Ouch! Retrieving this cache was a bit of a pain. After a lengthy search Net88 and myself finally found the well hidden cache.

TFTC 2 shadows

Found this cache whilst out doing a bit of night caching with Nyssaflutterby. It took us a little while to find the cache but Nyssa got there in the end. Thanks for the cache 2 shadows.

Caught up with Nurseyjulie, muggle Heidi and Charlie the geo-dog to do a caching run on a balmy afternoon in Stanthorpe.

All eyes were on the race which was about to start. I spotted the cache from below and lunged at it. Darn those spiky trees! Signed and replaced with as much stealth as we could muster.

TFTC 2 Shadows

The start of our run around the creek. Also the start of a bike race today. A few kids in the skate park but as it was building to the start of the race, managed to locate this little one without too much attention. TFTC

A quick find as they were just starting to set up for the cycling event as I arrived.

TFTC

Not a chance at 09:53 today. Too many bike muggles sitting on GZ. We ruefully looked at the obvious spot 18m away and decided we'd need to come back later.

Damn the by circle riders...this one has to wait... We will be back one day!

back in the ute we headed for home but I thought we could drive to this one on the way. as we approached GZ we saw that no find was going to be made here today. too many muggles using the field. we are leaving this one for another day.

We really like this series. Geo-dog enjoying the walk while we Cache.
TFTC

Out caching around Stanthorpe, to tidy up the few we left in and around town.
Thanks to all who hid the caches, a most enjoyable day out.
TFTC, 2 shadows.

With all of the DNF's it is time for the CO to out and check on this cache.

DNF at 12:35 PM. That spiky palm tree didn't reveal anything. Even with Team Robins yelling instructions from the car, nothing could be found.
Maybe the owners could check this one out as there are now heaps of DNF's?

Oh not again [:o]
Another DNF for If
A very frustrating cache because some find it and others don't.
Is it there, or is it not ?
Time will tell

3rd time no luck only more spiked hands!

No joy in the rain but looks like a fun hide.

Had a good look as the park was empty due to the weather but no luck for us.

TFTC

Searched in every inch very hard but no luck.
Maby the kids dit take it away?

Found with stairman1. The rain was continuing to menace us as we walked towards this one. While walking past a muggles house a little geodog came out to greet him. After a pat we were on our way. We soon arrived at GZ.and the container revealed itself. Signed our names then continued on our journey. Thanks 2 shadows.

Finally found this location deserted and was able to find the cache at 5am.

This is one of the most muggle areas that I have ever looked for a cache in as there always seems to be kids at the skate ramp nearby.

thanks 2 shadows

too many muggle kids around today .. came back here twice and decided to try another day

Found as part of our post new year trip north from Newcastle to Warwick. A nice quick find in a lovely area, we parked at one end of the park and done the lap enjoying the scenery and grabbing caches along the way. Thanks for the Cache.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty (S.T. & H.M.) at 6:30am.
Found quickly and the cache is in good condition.

Found on our week long stay in Stanthorpe; just got home today. Had to get up early before anyone else to get this last of the Quart Pot Series; always people around at this cache. TFTC

In Stanthorpe for a few nights and time to do some caching this evening. A lovely walk picking up these caches. Luckily found the skate park deserted and was free to search. Found the sneak hide in the last place I looked and searching all other available spots. Argg!!

On the way through Stanthorpe we grabbed a few caches. We parked close to GZ and after a short search geoD found the prize, all geoP got was a puncture on the hand and a small loss of blood.

TNLN SL TFTC

Did not find

Found Ok

I have to agree, this cache seems to have gone !!
The clue is pretty unambiguous

Got to this one too late as it was getting too dark, will do it next time we are in town.

No luck today. Searched high and low. TFTH

No luck here today. The rain had passed and this gave us the opportunity to search properly but no luck. There have been recent trimmings on the palm so maybe it was taken away by the gardeners. All was not lost. Geodog enjoyed swimming in the lake. TFTH 2 shadows

This was our 6th cache in our caching run today.
(So this is our 5217th total find.)

Finally managed to grab this cache. The inclement weather has kept the skate board kids inside today.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks 2 shadows for the hunt today.

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.

A solid day driving between Guyra where we camped in the Highest Caravan Park In Australia and Robins Nest in Stanthorpe - where the monkeys play soprano in July. Thanks for the fun!!

Thanks to 2 shadows and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys. We love your work.

Cache # 2065, Found @8:26:00 AM.

Out for an early morning walk to get over the power trail the previous day. A nice easy find.

Thanks to 2 shadows for the cache

Had a bit of an accident with this one

Fixed as best we could but have been informed that the owner has now replaced with a new log. Won't forget this in a hurry. Thanks 2 shadows for the hunt

Introducing my son to the fun of caching. (I think he liked it!) TFTC

Found @ 2000 hrs

The wesso family had 3 wonderful days on the granite belt touring around the Stanthorpe & Tenterfield regions. Along the way we found a couple of caches and this was one of them

We had been back 3 times dueing the day, but there was always too many muggles skating.

It was dark and it was cold I search around GZ for awhile and with finally on tippy toes found the beast nicely tucked away............man those prickly things hurt

TFTC I think.........lol

Day 2 of my caching week-end in Stanthorpe. I tried coming here yesterday but way too many muggles on skateboards. 0630 in the morning is a good time to visit. A quick find with just a little mist over the water.
Thanks for the cache.

Last one for the day.

Had tried to get this one April this year but to many kids at the skate ramp. Drove past it earlier today but kept going as kids were enjoying the skate ramp. Came back later and still could not get this one. Went to get some tea and came back on dark. Two kids were there and we waited for them to leave. Eventually got this cache. This was our last one for the day. Glad to finally finish this series as we got the rest of the series in April. TFTC 2 Shadows. This is a busy area.

Had tried to find this cache many times before, drove past here earlier today and there was muggles there, we went back just before dark and there was still some muggles there, so we decided to wait it out a bit, but in the end we took off to get tea and get some driving hours up for the sister who is on her L's.

After coming back there were still two muggles but we decided to eat our tea there and eventually the muggles left and my dad (bugs) quickly had his hand on it, we then packed up and decided to come home, but we will be back up here for more caches soon. TFTC and the series 2 shadows

our 72nd find for the day. Its now 7:15pm and after checking into the motel and some dinner was had, there was still 14 caches on our list for today we hadn't got to, so we decided to see what we could get done in the dark. The Quart Pot creek series looked like a great target except we changed the order a bit. We worked out which ones to do by car then parked the car and walked to to the rest.
This was the 1st one we did and although there was some muggle activity across the road, they were not concerned about us walking around with a torch.
Soon had the cache, signed the log and off to the next.
tftc

After checking out another location without luck realised we were about 50 metres from GZ. Once we got in the right area a quick find. A really enjoyable series, thanks 2 shadows.

Find # 3833, and 55 of 55 for the day.
Found after doing the Fruit Run series. Another nice easy find.
Had a good drive and walk in the park. TFTC and the series,
Cheers from the Riverina, Southern NSW,
Roostaman.

A great series with many varied and interesting hides. loved the walk around the lake.
TFTC

This is the last of the Quart Pot Creek series for us today. Thanks so much for this series 2 shadows. It's been wonderful wandering around here this beautiful sunny afternoon. We wondered about the shelter close to GZ. Seems very high to be keeping much weather out though it will provide a thin strip of shade for the observers. TNLNSL.
