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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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).

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **18th November**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**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.

Cruising north, toward the '1 Month to' event in Wangaratta, in convoy with Snap Happy and Happy Pants. Caching with Snap Happy now as we made some final finds before making a beeline for the event. We found this one easily enough but it's full of water! Thanks for the cache WLS.

Found it! Unable to write on log as wet.

Nice easy find. The log is completely wet thanks for the cache (needs maintenance)

Easy find

Easy find

We spotted this one as we pulled up very nearby.
Good to find one quickly as we are experiencing light rain and having a bit of a mixed day. The process is not quick when you are getting a two year old in and out of the car for each cache. Still, he is loving it!
Thank you for a quick cache on our way.
TFTC

Rftc easy find needs a new log book but

Cache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Based on a couple of the previous logs, perhaps it's time for the CO to make a visit to this cache.

**Find #1006**

Easy drive by find. Oxley is a Nice country town. A great place to stop and rest. Stretch the legs and grab some cache.

Thanks **WLS!**.

TFTC.

TFTC but it's quite damp. Sorry it's dark and cannot help

On the way to Harrietville for the night for trekking from FC to MT H.
Thanks WLS! for the hunting and cache.

Found it. Log
Book pretty full. Cache needs some lovin'

Found on the ground a few metres away from where we believe it belongs. Replaced it to where we think it's home is.

Staying at the Oxley Recreation Reserve for a couple of days and today being a lovely sunny, dry day after the storms and rain, we went out for a drive around and some cache hunting. It is a very beautiful area to drive round so thanks to the COs for all the caches we found today.

On our way home after caching around the Wangaratta/Myrtleford area and on out list of caches was this one, which we found along the way.

Thanks for the cache placement and for bringing us here.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today with mcsee&petal. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Log needs replacement and was found on the ground.

Good co ords led to a quick find thank goodness as it was pouring rain. Log is weather damp, sorry I did not have a replacement.

Taking a group of travel bugs and geocoins on a grand tour
Thanks for the cache

Found with misschief18 exploring around beautiful Beechworth area.

Found with sunset62. A quick find. Log was wet, which is not surprising considering all the rain that has been in this area recently. TFTC

**# 15142** Found on an absolutely excellent week long adventure with Rebel Acts.
A slightly wet day for another drive around from Myrtleford to Milawa.
Thanks for the cache WLS!,

Found it, but did not sign the log because ants... I hate ants... TFTC!

Found it! Might need a new log book...

A wonderful trip to Wangaratta with becca85, neisha07 & GemmaSistema.
We had a great time searching for caches and exploring. TFTC!

I had so much fun on our little roadtrip!
Me, boo09, becca85 & GemmaSistema headed to Wangaratta for the night.
Day 1 was huge with 50 finds, lots of which were at night by torchlight- we even got bogged!
Day 2 we got rained out in the end but still had an enjoyable day.
Thanks for some great caches in great company!

School holidays mean that myself and my two kids (ages 5 & 7) go caching with becca85 and her two kids (ages 6 & 8 - or boo09 and neisha07). We normally do a big day out around home (Ballarat way), but we are running out of spots. These holidays we decided to head north and stay a night and cache in and around Wangaratta. After dumping our stuff at the motel we headed out for an afternoon of fun around Oxley/Milawa way. An easy find here - many thanks

School holidays are upon us which means Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, boo09, neisha07 as well as Ad + Luke) is formed yet again as we target another area of beautiful country Victoria.
This time we decided on an over night road trip to Wangaratta. Meeting up in Violet Town, we headed straight to Wang and our motel where we dumped our belongings and headed straight off for an arvo of caching. Lots of great finds, a stop for lunch on the side of a lonely dirt road followed by some more caching until it got dark and we decided we should probably feed the children again.
A pub dinner and off we went again with torches and another layer of clothes each. A few stops in and we managed to get ourselves bogged but were promptly saved by some nice CFA gentlemen. The adventure never stops! Finally after a DNF and we were all soaking wet we decided to head back to the motel for a Milo. A great day out exploring a region I had never visited before. TFTC!

A quick find while doing some caching before breakfast with my mum (who is 84). A lovely morning to be out - the weather got worse as the day wore on. TFTC

Enjoying a day of geocaching and particularly enjoying our better than usual success rate in this area. Didn't seem to be too many options at this gz, so l dashed across the road and quickly found it. The log will be good for about 10 more entries. Thanks.

Found quickly while on a bike ride with Geofriends. Thanks for the cache (TFTC) :)

Another day exploring around Wangaratta with CAD - the weather was a bit overcast today! Soon spotted for T4TC:)

No. 3 found, no problem

Tftc log messy but signable.

Today was day 4 of our trip heading south to the great southern parts of our country, being Victoria and Tasmania. This was a very quick and easy find and after signing the log it was back into the geo mobile and on to find the next cache on the list for the day. TFTC.

TFTC. Tor and Betsy, the travelling Westies roaming WA at present. We are from Oxenford near the Gold Coast in Queensland and thoroughly enjoying the West.

Quick and easy love the magnetic parts

Nice easy find. Lots of cars zooming by.
Thanks for bringing us to the beautiful part of Victoria.

TFTC. Drove down to Oxley to attempt a cache at urge Recreation Reserve, but there were campers close to GZ. Picked this one up on the way back to Milawa. Log needs attention it is sodden.

TFTC. Log book is rather wet.

First place I looked

Oxley found

Log book is a bit soggy

Easy find, the log was a bit damp as it is not in a plastic bag. TFTC

A race to find this one. TFTC

Sister found this one very quickly on her second hunt. TFTC.

Today we explored the King Valley using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Very easy find

Tftc.

The three of us were out for a day's touring around Beechworth, Everton, and Milawa and picking up a few caches in the area.

Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache WLS!

Hip hip .. Found it.. TFTC.!

I have to admit that I looked everywhere else and was starting to think that maybe it wasn't there UNTIL I stopped to think about where I would put it. It wasn't hard at all, I think I had travelled too far today and wasn't thinking too clearly, so the stop for this cache was a good break for me. I'm not doing anymore today though, I'm heading home. TFTC WLS.

Quick find on our way past

Found with arielisme and mlroberts72

Nice little hide we found on a sunny Sunday.
Casually walked around GZ using my GPS as a phone and put my hand on the cache in no time with some help from mlroberts73.
We enjoyed our caching day.
Thanks for the smiley & the chance for 2 friends to find another cache.

TFTC - Nice day for a cache or two.

Pulled the car over and thought it best I go alone on this one. Lucky I did as the massive spiders would have scared Darcy off for sure. TFTC.

Sorceysal found this one for me. I was on the wrong side. Happy to have my name stamped before we moved off.
TFTC WLS!

On the way home after a 2 day road trip with 6hinemoa2 and bogonghazy to complete the Hoop Star Series. A great time was had with lots of laughs, good company and quality caches.

A quick find here and on our way. Certainly is going to be a long trip with all these caches to find on the way

Thanks for the WLS!

My wife and I were on our way home from a motorcycle rally near Myrtleford, and we picked up this cache on the way. tftc.
Crusty.

Good quick find....always like that when there is traffic flying past. Log signed and all was good.

Thanks for the cache WLS!

Found another on a beautiful day

Nice find for the kiddies

Number 7 on the way home to bendigo today after another season at mount hotham, quick find, thanks.

Sent Doc to find this one, instead of us both crossing the busy road. He eventually found it and signed it simply with 'Doc'. He said, "The log was very damp but still writable." TFTC

Easy find. Log was a tad wet. TFTC!!

Easy one

Easy one

While trying to do the Gourmet Run it seemed economical to pick this one up as well, so this one was a handy bonus for us

14:46
As today was our last day in Wangaratta for a while we had to brave the weather whatever it had to offer. The wind was really starting to bite, so it was good to make a quick find and return to the car.

TNLN .. . . . SL . . Thanks to WLS! for the hunt.

Suscoe's 12th find of 42 caches for today on a terrific day out and about in the Wangaratta area.
After a few days of wet weather, today was pretty dry and quite pleasant even though it was cold.
We saw a broad range of caches and enjoyed the trip through the countryside and the towns.
Thanks to WLS! for placing this cache here.

TFTC!

Yeh, yet another find!
