Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

It seems someone liked this cache so much they didn't put it back. Stand by while we work on a replacement.

Not our lucky day today.

Round 2... still no luck. This is a sneaky one indeed! After finding some other sneaky finds I thought... hmmm, maybe. But nope! Nothing seems to move or looks out of place. Even the things that should be there but also shouldn't. Im stumped.

Im so mad at this one!! Nothing looks out of place to me, and we spent almost 20 minutes here.. sneaky indeed... we will be back

When I first came by here a muggle decided to plop himself down at GZ.

I went off and did another cache but when I came by a few minutes later he was gone and the coast was clear.

I've added a piece of paper to this one.

Neat work.

TFTC

Came by this morning and found no paper to sign.

Will come back with some and sign the log book.

Couldn't work out where to be but gps eventually settled.

Didn't find it in the time I allowed.

This evening, I headed out to Tea Tree Plaza and Ridgehaven areas to continue to find target geocaches. Several of these geocaches had high Favourite Points, and although some were challenging to find, they did highlight the beauties of geocaches that were hidden in plain sight, but had a twist for Geocachers. An enjoyable evening to be out and about.

This was on my target/bucket list due to its high Favourite Point (FP) count, with 68 FPs having been accumulated as of my visit today on 5/01/2021.
I must have had my full mojo when I arrived at this one, as I managed to make this find within a few minutes! Perhaps I was just lucky. I had checked a few spots when I started reading the past logs, and realised a different search technique was required. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. This hide was fantastic, and very deserving of a Favourite Point! Thanks M-SEZ the birthday fairy for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Fav, came the other day to find this other day but had no luck and gave up after awhile, back today with enlighten info in hand and the cache was found. What a great hide this is

This morning after being restricted at home for the past few days I had hoped to get away for an overnighter but due to the weather forecast I decided to cache around the north east suburbs and pick up the few I had left. Found 35 for the morning.
Thanks for the cache

After attempting a few more caches we had an idea where it might be. We went back and there it was in plain sight very nicely done.
Log signed and returned TFTC

We searched high and low.
Looked to and fro.
Where’s it found?
Who would know...

As the weather was nice today, the youngest of the Famous IV and I decided to grab some caches in the hills...and a few along the way. All up 15 caches were found and we had time for chips and stout at the Inglewood Inn and pizza at Glen Ewin Estate as well. The only disappointment for the trip was they weren't serving scones and tea at Newmann's Nursery. The country was looking good, the caches were in good condition and the sun shone upon us. This cache was clever...very, very clever. So clever it brought a smile to my face. TFTC

Great camo, love this one so great, cheers cobber.

Thankyou so much for our 100th find one of our most favourite definitely deserves a favourite great work guys!!

??

A very sneaky and clever hide...
Who would have known...
But what has been seen cannot been unseen...
TFTC M-SEZ

I had found this sneaky hide months ago but did not claim as I did not sign. Today I signed and all good. Clever TFTC

Cruising the streets with Csaba!. Such a great hide. Turtle Out

Some clever camo on this one. Hopefully a few warmer days will help dry out the damp log sheet.

Thanks for the cache M-SEZ.
Found on 3 Nov 2019 at 4:11 pm.
Find #9607

Omg that’s cheeky and squeaky indeed. I need to return when I have more time between muggles how bloody clever is this!

Tftc its sneaky

I had an enormous hunch, and White Elf helped in an enormous way, and we signed the log [^]

He he nice sneaky cache indeed! TFTC! Carnival Caching with CrackedChelle

Cache #2072. Amazing cache!

I select this cache to try, because it has over 50 favourite points.

My mobile said the GZ is in the middle of the road, so I need to decide whether the cache is on the East side or West side. Waited for a while for the muggle-free opportunity, and started searching. Checked the classic spots, cannot find the cache, as I excepted. It has so many favourite points for a reason, I said to myself.

Then I checked the cache description again. Noticed the size of the cache. OK, now I have an idea what it could be. After about one minute, I got the cache on hand. Quickly signed the log sheet, and put it back. Of course, I waited for a while for an opportunity to place it back without been noticed by muggles.

A great cache, indeed. Worth a favourite point from us!

Thanks for the cache, M-SEZ the birthday fairy.

OMG. How have you done that. Last night I studied all peoples logs hoping to give me a clue. This is for big points for the carnival.
I thought of a couple of things and thought to myself if that’s it this will be epic. OMG. EPICCCCCCCCCCC
Thank you so much for the cache

That was clever. I had all the information I needed to find the cache and still I had to phone a friend.

Two ca he’s today so far and now two favourites. Happy birthday squeeks! Tftc with kayche19 and skuzzy bear

Waiting with Clive and Skuzzy Bear.
Very clever! Love it.

Maybe I will get this for my 60th! So sneaky! Lateral thinking by Clive. Loved the cache. TYFTC SLTNLN

Visiting from Melbourne and had the chance to get out tonight and grab some local caches on this very hot night! This one bested me though, it had me second-guessing a lot. I'll re-evaluate and try again very soon!

This one took us a while to find, especially with all the traffic going past. Luckily I’d found caches like this before, so I had a good idea what to look for, and before too long I was pointing it out to my partner who grabbed it for me. Signed the log (which is a bit soaked), and managed to place it back without too much issue. TFTC!

Another Trekking Tuesday for the Puzzled Puzzlers group. Today's group were myself Mrs. SA Sewer Rats, Doctor Owl and a very ill Anymules who we kept at arms length lest he infect us with his ailments. Our target was the Montacute Conservation Park for the caches there and the new SFE challenges. [8)]
So after collecting Mrs. rat I was heading for the rendezvous and this one came up. Normally I would drive straight by as all the others had done it but today I was running early so I stopped. After checking the obvious I follow the GPS to the actual GZ where I gave it the evil eye. Mmmm. Something not quite right there. It couldn't be...could it [?] Yep it was.
What a clever hide. Another FP from me.

**Thanks M-SEZ for this cache. **

Out for a caching day with Rod81w, he was doing the navigating and I was doing the driving. We were out in pursuit of some Planets.
Very cool hide.
TFTC

Out with Getnict for the day getting the planetary points. Targeting puzzles and caches with 10+ Favs.

Squeak squeak squeak
Happy 40th

Heard this one being discussed at a recent event. It truly is a masterpiece. TFTC it's one of my absolute favorites. I am all squeaked out now. Will be back to conquer the ones I couldn't find this time.

Having recently attended an event and been told by a previous finder that this was a worthwhile find, Ruff_Ruff, Janet and myself all found ourselves in the vicinity and we decided to stop to look.
It took longer than it might have to actually locate the cleverly hidden logbook!
I could tell Ruff_Ruff was impressed.
So were we.
A quick sign in the rain and off we went again leaving everything as we found it!

Ruff Ruff!!

It was over 40 degrees today, and I thought it would be a good day for muggle-free caching. No muggles anywhere to be seen at GZ, but a few going past at 60 km/h. I had a suspicion of what I was looking for, and I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

A favourite for some fabulous camo.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache M-SEZ.

TFTC! A typical sneaky hide, brilliant as usual... friend’s 200th find... watching her struggle right now

Love it. I heard about the legend of this cache when I started caching.... and now I’ve found it. Favourite point
I now have a list of Sneaky hides to find!
Congratulations to JessKateHan1988 on your 200th!!!

Tftc - geogirlfriends 200th cache !!!! Awesome milestone !!! Thanks again

Amazing! Love it! 200 geocaches woopie

Found on our third attempt armed with a hint courtesy of Sneaky at the Geo Xmas Party. Mummy Penna was timid but big bro Penna came through with the goods. TFTC amazing

TFTC!

TFTC!

Did not find this one. The GZ coords show up in the middle of the road. I searched high and low at the two locations i thought it might be without success.

Not sure why this is still marked as 'needs maintenance'. The listing was enabled again months ago.

well this is not a cache for vertically challenged cachers. Thankfully geoson and geo hubby are tall and geodaughter can use geopup as a writing board!!!! what a fun evening dodging between buses. Loved this cache thanks

Had a quick go at this one, but with so many muggles around and time not on my side, I had to leave without placing hands on this one.

Found this with Csaba! aka DAD before I had a premium membership. Tra La Laaaa

Out for a Mother's day hunt with a very understanding wife. Thanks

After no joy the first time round and it going off line we made a detour to pick this one up while in the area, as we suspected it was a sneaky hide the challenge was more the stealth in recovery and replacing, love your work sneaky squeaky TFTC M-SEZ

Initially I was gonna DNF this one when I got home this evening (when I do all my logging) seeing my 1st attempt today was a failure [v]. I went to TTP and had a Subway lunch. After lunch I found me a cache I failed on last time near the O-Bahn... got that almost asap [^]. Chock full of confidence and reading the logs, I moved in again... Immediate find [^] Schwiiiiing! Winning! Made sure the constant stream of annoying Muggles in their Muggle-Mobiles were absent when I made the find and on the re-hide also. SL at 14:30 on Sun 26 Feb 2017. Thanks M-SEZ for yet another Squeaky-Type cache that literally "Does My Head In" lol. I love this coz it trains me to be a smarter cacher, believe me that is taking it's time lol (Clearly a Fave point for the creativity and hide factor [^]) TFTC M-SEZ

Pleased to see this one back online.
Came up this evening to wish Squeaky a happy (belated) 40th [:o)]
Had to wait for a stray muggle to get on a bus, but when the coast was clear....
YES I found the cache.
Pretty much what I expected. Anything with Squeaky on it is usually a good hide.
Blends in rather well. Hundreds of people must look straight at it all the time!
FAV for not being a mint tin
TFTC M-SEZ and Squeaky

What Squeaky said! All good now. You

""Sneaky Squeaky" Woz ere" A quick replacement after making new and clever replacement. These caches take time and effort so sorry for the long time replacement time.
From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C

The cache hasn't been replaced in the past nearly 14 months and the co hasn't been actively caching in quite a while. Time to go

Hey folks. I have been actively caching (note my premium membership is current), just a bit behind on logging finds. The cache is currently in SneakySqueaky's possession. He took it home to make some improvements and STILL hasn't put it back! Pretty sure he finished the repairs ages ago, but just keeps forgetting to to replace it. More like Sleepy Squeaky! I'll light a fire under him and get it back on line ASAP.

Yep, it's gone. New cache being constructed with some help from the sneaky one himself.

Can this one be checked sometime please? No sign of it...
Thanks. Will watch. m

On the way back from a family visit, we decided to do a few caches on the way home to the Barossa. After arriving at GZ, we had a good look in all the likely spots and not so likely spots, I had noticed something and examined it closely..just then we heard "beep beep" as a car went past....it parked around the corner and soon had another cacher and previous finder arrive and ask if we wanted a hint or to know where it was...As we had been there a while, we opted for the easy option, and after examining where I was previously, declared that it was gone. Thanks for helping, Cache_ISM. Will keep a watch on it and hope it will get replaced.

No luck tonight did find a magnet wondering if thats all thats left of the cache will watch and see till next time TFTC

It has taken me more than 40 Squeaks to track down this cache
Been past GZ a few times in the past and never found this cache !!
A little bird might have squeaked in my ear at a recent event though

Today's ride past was full of hope for a find
And yep !!
On the other side (isn't it always ?),
I spied the cache

Now it is hard to not look suspicious here with a pushbike for company
The volume of traffic whizzing past that kept me waiting.
Finally a break and I had the cache logbook signed
According to Murphy's Law, a muggle should have turned up at this point ...
... none did and the cache was rehidden

Time for some celebratory fireworks methinks !!
Where were they ??? [:o]

Oh well,

Love this one, Sneaky you really do live up to your name; some of the best hides ever, took us 3 visits to this site before we finally worked this out.. awesome job mate,

Too sneaky for us today and too much traffic.

Hi. Driving past tonight And noticed that the area had been pretty well smashed up and could expect workers to attend tomorrow so made time to stop and reposition the clever cache and return to invisibility. No need to attract unnecesarry attention.

Drove past tonight and noticed that the cache has not been replaced correctly. Could not stop as I was in the middle of traffic.

Sneaky is as sneaky does. Good one.

Too sneaky for me today

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. 3rd visit to this one. Finally squeaked through and found it. Very clever hide and am kicking myself for not finding it sooner. Definitely a favorite point coming. Gratias pro cache.

Whilst out caching with the Parkos we couldn't go past this one, given that we had just been celebrating my own 40th birthday ..... after hunting high and low, under and over, through and between, we FINALLY changed the focus of our search and quickly discovered something amiss. What a great hide - loved it!!
Thanks for the challenge!

Out with Morris1100 today, we were driving past the area, when this one popped up on our radar.

We stopped and started the search, and searched some more, when after some time Mrs Parko found the sneaky hide.

Mrs Morris1100 started investigating it earlier, but dismissed it after getting sidetracked

Very clever hide indeed

TFTC M-SEZ

This is a fabulously sneaky cache.
It took me a little while to find this one, but the location lends itself nicely to just stand and look
A definite favorite for me, I smiled so much when I had the log in hand.

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc great hide !

An easy find when you know about the birthday boys favourite hide style. Just needed to stand on tip toes. TFTC M-SEZ.

Deserving of a 2 and a half star and the sneakiness, well worth a fav point. TFTC

On a lovely sunny day a rat, snake and Aussie M&M went a caching.
What a sneaky hide.
A little hard to look inconspicuous here.
Well deserving of the Sneaky name, A Fav point from us. TFTC

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺. Another sneaky special.

WHAT AN AWESOME HIDE!!! Well worth the squeaky name. Harder to spot because I guess a City of Burnside logo would stand out at this location. TFTC M-Sez

A ludicrously daring hide This is our second visit here and this time we made sure it was at a quiet time, so we would have plenty of time to look. We were expecting something of the sort, but not what it actually turned out to be TNLNSL TFTC

Headed out on dusk to grab our daily cache and thought we would finally give this one a go. We drive past here several times a week and usually ponder where it could be hidden... a very sneaky hide :c) TFTC!!

Cheers luciadoyle123 well done on the big milestone!
Approaching my 200!
TFTC!!

Wow! My 100th cache, it was a really good one to do on that milestone. Did this one with Seb Coffey and his friend. Cool cache, really creative hide. I have only seen about 3 of these type of caches and they are awesome every time. The name of this cache helped quite a lot. I was a bit stuck? Then I noticed something sticking out at a bit of a weird angle- this had to be the cache! Needed some geo- aunty help to reach this cache, lucky she was close by! TFTC, thanks again for an awesome cache

Found with Bek-theraccoon on a night of caching. On approach we were talking about some Sneaky hides we had seen when the raccoon said "Imagine if it was hidden here", and sure enough cache was in hand! Favourite point well deserved. TFTC

It's incredible the amount of traffic this little stretch of road has. We pulled up at around 11.30pm and had to wait as a stream of about 15 cars passed! Anyway, a lucky guess had this cache in hand almost immediately. Fantastic cache concept, TFTC! (worth a favourite point)
Found with JamboChicken

.

VERY sneaky! Loved it! Have a fave!! Thanks M-SEZ

Having done a few sneaky hides, I sorta knew what to look for. It was a matter of getting it back on the right way of course.

Found It!
Neat hide but... Bloody PM only caches! Spawn of Satan! Burn down the PM only caches and exterminate anyone who conceives them!
TFTC anyway

I had a bit if time to kill on the way home from TTP so decided to stop here and try my luck. The bus had just picked up some muggles so I was free to search. Normally these sorts of caches take me ages but thankfully it was a short search today. Awesome cache - great original idea. The log book is very damp so will need to be replaced. Thanks for the cache.

+1 fav point.

#930

That was amazing!! Such a sneaky clever hide!!! Couldn't sign however

Despite the layers of plastic around the log sheet, water seems to have made its way in. It needs a good airing out.

Gotcha!

Had a half hour or so to fill in so I had a quick look on the phone for nearby caches. I saw the number of favourite points this one has, so I figured I'd better go and see what all the fuss is about.

Like a few others, I think I spent as much time crossing back and forth across the road as I did searching. But eventually, my brain managed to adjust to "Sneaky" mode and something that was typically sneaky, but just a little askew was spotted.

The log was quite damp, but I managed to leave a faint imprint.

Thanks M-Sez

ZZzz..

What a sneaky, sneaky hide, great job another favourite point coming your way
TFTC

Very ingenious. TFTC

What a fabulous gift for someone's birthday! That's a very tricky hide, and extremely hard to replicate, I'd imagine. Our GPSrs first had us on the wrong side of the road [B)] but when we finished searching there, we acted like chickens and got much closer to GZ. I must've been thinking sneakily because it actually wasn't nearly as long as I thought I'd take to discover the cache, and then only a few minutes more to safely retrieve it. Clever!! Putting it back proved slightly harder than getting it, mind you, but it's looking good. Happy birthday Sneaky and TFTC, M-SEZ the birthday fairy. =^.^=

What a great tribute. With the GPS indicating the middle of the road it was a toss-up as to which side we started and true to form we picked the wrong one. After searching for a while we headed to the other side and before long had the cache in hand. Very clever. Thanks M-SEZ the birthday fairy.

Looked everywhere - high and low - without success.
