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 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.

Heading in the general direction of home today, but had plenty of time to cache on the way [^].
After finding a way in, we spent quite some time looking in the wrong spot [B)].
Should have only spent half the time did here Red Face. TNLNSL.
Thanks again Reidpondy.

Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find, reidpondy

We came out under cover of darkness when all the grain trucks were asleep. Searching by the light of my phone, we did find it eventually. Definitely needs a new log sheet.
TFTC!
 
26-Nov-17
Found it - I could reach it and I’m short! Not sure it’s where it’s meant to be? Thank you

Late in the afternoon we decided that we would stay the night here and grab a few caches before tea and then a few more in the morning before leaving to meet with Goodlook at Karandoo to find some more wandering heroes.

This was the second for the morning. We looked at this one last night and were a bitt distracted by the fences and locked gates but today in daylight we found an easy way in although it still didn't feel 100% right. We spent quite awhile looking for the cache before we spotted it not where we were expecting so a little easy climb soon has us with the cache in hand and we are happy to say that our name is now in the log. We returned the cache to where we found it and headed off quite pleased.

Thanks reidpondy for getting us up close and personal with the silo's.
 
29-Apr-17
I spied the cache and I took the high line. Thanks reidpondy.

While Mr McLookers was 4WDing it down the Border Track, I was out and about in the local area.
 
28-Apr-17
Sooooooo many people in Lameroo that we only grabbed this cache whilst in town. Other than the bees, this was a quick and easy find. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
 
23-Apr-17
Took longer to work out how to get in to where this cache was hidden than to actually retrieve it. Signed the log and quickly moved on Smile

17-Apr-17
Well that was interesting. No need to BYO ladder tho I had one in the back.

Found on the Easter 3 state jaunt via SA, Vic then NSW. The weather was clear, the tracks were dusty and the skies were clear and starry. Catching up with friends along the way at the various events was also a bonus.

Thanks to reidpondy and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!




 
16-Apr-17
We felt very uncomfortable here, it feels very much like private land to us. Hubby did the retrieve. SL TFTC
 
11-Apr-17
Today I didn't arrive on the wrong side of the fence, nor did I chicken out. I walked straight up to this little baby and signed the log.. Nice and easy when your talking on the phone, that way no one gets suss of what you are up to.

Thanks for the cache reidpondy Very Happy
 
07-Apr-17
First find for the third day of our trip to the Mega at Alice.
It appeared we were thwarted by the high fence, but there are ways around things.
An incredible contrast between the old and the new. I was getting giddy looking up so high and admiring the structures. Nearly gave up on the cache until I spotted the obvious, then it was time for Muggle Hubby to retrieve it.
Thanks for a great start to our day.

On a georoad trip to Adelaide to watch the cricket with new to the geogame Azzepious along for the ride. On the trip we aimed for several cache types in one day as well as caches in three states in one day.

We were both amazed at how many caches there on the trip, making our journey much longer.

Thanks to all the COs for their caches.

We visited this one earlier in the day but decided to return after 5pm once the hustle and bustle had settled down in the nearby CBD. Didn't make much of a difference really and so I sent Grumpi68 up to get this one as he is younger and, well, infinitely more flexible. No high-vis gear this time. Thanks Reidpondy.

When I arrived at GZ there was a huge Shiny Cyclone Fence with a locked gate so I figured it must be on the outside but my GPS kept telling me it was still 30 metres away but that fence was locked and preventing me from getting closer. As I wandered up and down the fence a Police Car slowly drove by but they didn't stop. I was about to give up after repeatedly doing the Geocache Walk up and back but then I looked up from my GPS and noticed how useless this fence really was and what a waste of money as I walked up to the end and around and in on the side where there was no fence at all. Then I let my GPS get me to GZ and when I looked up I saw my prize out of reach and thought "Oh no what if I am too short after all this effort"but I scoped the area and found a gymnastic's approach and soon had the cache in hand and signed and replaced and then repeated my approach in reverse and was soon out of there. Good cache but I think I made a "Motsa" of what should have been an easy cache.

Found with Decrypter while taking a break from the drive. We arrived at GZ and D saw a potential site. This turned out not to be correct, but then the cache was spotted and D was in the right place to get it. TFTC

Spotted the cache, but unattempted, as I am not travelling with a ladder. I believe the terrain here is at least four.

Day 6 of our Road Trip.

Fourth of six for today.

A quick park and grab as this was much lower than I expected and less adventurous. On just out of reach from the ground!?!

TFTC.

Today I joined CPwanderer and clare007 for a caching trip east.
Even though he had already found this cache, CP was happy to stop for Clare and I to add it to our finds for the day.

Thanks to our driver who kindly stopped & assisted us in finding the cache.
Not where I expected it to be or where my GPS lead me to...
Luckily Gizmos Gang & I had some expert help.

This was day 16 of our trip out of Sydney to the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania. Of course we could not resist a short trip into south Australia to find some more caches. This was a very quick and easy find after reading all the available information. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. TFTC.

Great fun wandering around the silos. I'm visiting from Phoenix Arizona. Happy to have caching to keep me entertained since the town is pretty empty this time of year!
 
26-Dec-15
Good fun climbing this one with MehZz and maesy. MehZz was so sad that I didn't have to climb as far as him. Tftf
 
20-Dec-15
No trouble for Limbage here, although I wonder if this is its original position. TFTC

A cooler day between some warmer days called for a geocaching expedition! I realised three caches were yet to be found in Lameroo (we won't mention I missed one 10 minutes from home), so a route was plotted. I also found there to be a new cache deep in Victoria that required my "finding" - thus beginning a 2-day trek of 67 finds, 23 kangaroos, and a load of fun!

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. Spade52 was the navigator and I the driver. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal and local roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and very little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the rain forest, the wilderness, the (for us) extraordinary indigenous flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting locations and special spots.
Today we were leaving Adelaide again in order to travel to Canberra and Sydney. We will take the highway to Hay and Wagga Wagga. We visited some interesting places on the road and tried to find some more geocaches. This geocache was easy to find. Very nice hide at a quiet location.

An event hosted by my friends, muff1, had me wondering if I could make a day of it and go and see them[?]
When I mentioned this to sushilord he surprised me by agreeing that a day out might be fun. Surprised
So we drove the long way around (about 1100 km) to get to the event and all up managed to find 27 caches Smile and attend the event Cool
A very relaxing day filled with great scenery, lots of laughs, some interesting historical sites and a great big, yummy hamburger and chips for tea at the Kaniva Roadhouse [^].

sushilord found this cache all on his own Wink which is great for me as I don't like heights! Twisted
He later said that it wasn't high at all Razz

925th Cache Find Smile We are travelling to Pinnaroo to stay the night. We stayed in Tailem Bend last night & had started the Wandering Heroes series this morning. We have made a little dent in the long trail & are really looking forward to continuing on. Could have kept going but wanted to make it to Pinnaroo before dark. We stopped here for a quick find. Geoson J made the find & it was now a team effort to sign the log. TFTC Smile

I "found" the cache yesterday but did a quick risk assessment and decided the crane would leave this one for now. Plus my septogenarian companion would've had a fit if I'd climbed up there. Came back today on my own with a tool but even so it was really at my outer limit! Pleased to have scored this particular smiley! Cache #2190.

Day 1 of our roadtrip from Adelaide to Stanthorpe for the Qld Mega. Gorgeous day, sun is shinning, perfect weather.
Arrived at GZ and Mr 3LG spotted the cache and attempted to grab it. After trying 3 times to hoist himself up and reach for it, he called out for Mrs 3LG, who was watching on in amusement. You see Mr 3LG has "ducks disease" and the previous finder is not so vertically challenged (cheers Marty

Although there is a locked gate on one side, the othere sides do not have a fence! Easy find when you look in the right place!

After not finding this on the way to ADE, we decided to try again on the way home. The gate was still locked, but we decided to be naughty, and go around the fence... Cool hide. Thanks RP.

Got to within 30m, and there was a huge fence in the way. The gate was locked shut, so figured we should not go there. Thanks anyway.
