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.

Planning a trip to Mount Barker, is this one here to be found or is it indeed away for maintenance? An update from CO would be good given its been off line for a few months. Thanks

Nice one. Found after scratching our heads at other nearby structures and then there it was. Couldn't sign a log as couldn't find one inside the cammo. Thanx

We're on holiday in SA and after departing the zoo, we had a sleeping 2 year old spiderling in the car....then the 4 year old spiderling followed so we just drove on. We thought we'd get out at Hahndorf but they were both still snoring so we drove on some more and pulled over for a toilet stop in Strathalbyn when both boys woke. We walked around a little, found a cache and decided to make our way back to Adelaide lazily. We stopped for the favourite points here and a quick find ensued as I have a similar cache container back in Victoria. TFTC CSavvy!

This one is a ripper! I have seen this type of hide before but somehow this one had me looking, looking and still looking and just for the torture factor have a Favourite Point, let alone the trickiness of the hide and cache creation SmileWink The cache and contents are all good. Log is a wee bit moist but still signable Smile and the band is cool too! Wink SL at 07:50 on TGIF 11 Aug 2017. TFTC CSavvy Smile

I needed a quick find on a rainy day, to maintain my current streak. This one was a quick find only because I had guessed what it might be, but certainly made me smile: very well camouflaged!

14-Jun-17
Out and about caching with sir_spectre. We decided to do a few multi's and grab the trads in between. Didn't get to complete all the multi's we started as it was after dark and didn't want to be shining torches around peoples house, so we will be back.
Clever hide.

Find No. 1668. Found with FUF009 at 7.55pm.

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.

Have come across these hides before and when we seen it we thought we knew what we were looking for and yes we were right.

Mrs Gizmo was out caching with Doctor Owl around Mt Barker and as we were passing by Owl stopped for Mrs Gizmo to make the find. Quickly located the clever hiding place. Interior container is missing its lid but the log was safe inside its plastic bag. Emptied some resident critters out of the cache before replacing it.

TYFC - good hide Smile

Owl decided she needed a caching therapy day and collected Sushilord for a road trip to Goolwa - which they never actually go to! Having found it before, Sushilord sat in the car and planned the next target while Owl nipped off to find the cache. She found what she thought was half a cache, but then located the real one. The baby earwigs had to be evicted before the log could be signed, so it all took longer than expected.

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.

Fortunately i got my cache hunting cred back when i spotted this baby first before master 11, esp since he's new to the game and had me beat at the last one!

There were several places to consider given the location and the cache's name - but the clever hide didn't take too long to find. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this one interesting. Smile TFTC

26-May-14
Out cache hunting with Mrs Froghoppin.
This cache seemed to have "Rising Power".
It was probably put here by a bit of a "Live Wire".
"High Voltage" is something to take care around or you'll "Get It Hot".
There could be "Danger" because the "Rock 'n Roll Train" passes close.
Being nighttime, we were "Back in Black".
But in the end cache, we found you, and "You shook me all night long" 8D
Nicely done, tftc

Mrs frog out for a caching run will update log soon!! TFTC

Groovy hide
 
14-Dec-13
A nice little hide which would have taken some work to set up. Fits well in this location altho required a bit of stealth to avoid any Muggle suspicion - thankfully my shoelace came 'loose' again. A quick retrieve, sign and we were on our way. Wink Thanks.

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

A hide which had 3LG looking in other places first but it was still found Wink

Find # 473 @ 1503H

On our annual Holiday to follow the Tour Down Under in South Aus. we are hitting a few caches in Mt Barker as this is our "home town" for the week.

What can I say LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

I have never came across a cache hide like this before. and for that fact I give you a Fave point I wish I could give more because it deserves more than 1

By the way it took me about 10min to find it and it was only by accident that I did.
