PLT - Not working 2 Frankston, Victoria, Australia
By cathylmorgan & julz76 on 16-Feb-13. Waypoint GC461V0

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.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all geocachers. The rule is; if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can - I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

Please respond to this situation by 18th October to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (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 so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No joy

Whilst out test driving the new dog, we thought we would start on the PLT.

Couldn't find this one. After reading the logs, it seems like a long while since a find.

Had a quick look but no luck. Plenty of activity at this location going by the trampled grass.

Cache 6 today that we bypassed due to being unavailable.

With no legitimate finds in almost 3 months and two previous maintenance requests, this one may be at the end of it's life.

Couldn't find this one today
thanks anyway

needs to be checked as per previous logs

After a search I decided to check previous logs. I decided it was probably better to wait for the cache owner to replace the container than search for a plastic bag that may or may not be there amongst the other rubbish.

After a reasonable search we decided to carry on to the next cache and have another look for this on the return journey. Glad we did as we found the log book in its snap lock bag after a short search. Now we realise we should have read the previous logs first. The log book is now hidden very well which is why we didn't find it on the first pass. TFTC

Yep container has been stolen, log is still at GZ. SL TFTC

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

Had a job in Frankston today but when I got there I found that I couldn't do the job so that gave me the rest of the day to Cache, so I thought I would give these cache another go as they where missing last time I looked. Found it and sl log thanks Julz76 and Cathy for the cache.

3rd on of the day. Looks like the container has been disturbed.

Plastic bag with log book lying on the ground. No sign of the container.

Thanks

I wonder if the previous needs maintenance didn't understand the title or if it is actually broken. Assuming the first and might as well award a favourite somewhere. Took a while to find. Tftc

Found while out caching with Mrs Cheese and the GeoDog.

TFTC

Found with Gunks on bike, TFTC.

A second bike ride adventure for the week with PopTopPete and we tackled the new Peninsula link. Our finds were well into the double figures, unfortunatly a number of caches do need some maintenance as noted separately but still a great night out. TFTC's!!!

Clever @ )

Found straight away. Appears to be broken though. Would be cool to see it work correctly. Thanks Cathy

I found the cache, then read the previous maintenance request. I decided to leave a temporary log sheet, as I was walking this part of the trail and may not be back soon. A wonderful variety of caches along this trail. Thanks cathylmorgan

Found but no cache in its location it has been broken. will send photo to cache owners

Quick find TFTC

Had fun finding my 1st cache with Geo Gdad. TFTC

Tftc. Easy find for a cricketer

probably the easiest find we've ever had. no muggles to bash round here. tftc

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

TFTC!!!!

Cache hide has been altered by muggles but the container is still intact and is all fine.

This one is definitely not working either.
Thanks cathylmorgan.
Chiefton.

Another find before work tftc

We found this one intact, but the camouflage has been ruined by some rowdy muggles, apparently. Didn't sign the log as we forgot a pen.

We didn't log it, only flagged it. Oooppps.

Third find for the day! Yee hah

Found 11:35, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks cathylmorgan.

Did not see the point for the cache style. Still TFTC as I only need 2 more for.my goal of 180 by the end of August. SL left smiley.

Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Out for a couple of caches after work sort of on the way home from Mulgrave to Vermont.
Quick find while enjoying a nice walk.
TFTC CathyLMorgan

Good one. Found quickly with the help of the geodoggies, log signed then off to the next one! TFTC SL

Found the 'cache housing' and where the container may have been, but no luck finding the cache.

It looked like the best day of the week, so we got the deadly treadlies out, and headed down to the Peninsula Link Trail. Bettyboo3747 and I joined many other bike riders (and walkers) using this trail today.
Seeing there was supposed to be a northerly wind we started on the southern end so we would have a tail wind coming home. Of course the wind turned as we were coming back!
Not trouble finding the container, it nearly jumped out at us.
A bit of thought and we were signing the log.
Interesting idea though.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3756. Robmc and I headed down this way to make the most of the winter sunshine and lovely day to do some of the PLT. We parked at this end so we could head north and return with a tail wind (hopefully).

This was different to any hide I have seen before. A bit of fiddling and we soon had the container in hand to sign log. Returned carefully to its spot and onwards we go. TFTC

Found yesterday but forgot to log oops TFTC

Nice little find. Not as tricky as we thought it'd be. TFTC

Found straight away at GZ. It did not appear to be hidden at all but camouflaged enough that it should not be disturbed. An interesting container idea that I have not seen before. TFTC

Nice contraption... Tftc...

Very cool cache!!

Kind of stands out once you see it

Out for a ride with the kids, finally got a chance to check out the Peninsula Link Trail. Had a great ride of nearly 20kms and grabbed a few caches along the way.

TNLN SL TFTC

Nice find by 6yo daughter.Very clever-we are really enjoying finding this series of caches-and loving the PLT as it is so close to home

Tftc nice design

An easy find as presumably intended, although I think that it is fair to say that the set-up is not working as originally planned.

Hey hey it's Krazy K on the PLT
Me and the wifey & kids are taking a walk
Another nice hide along our walk
This one was well thought up
Thanks for the hide

Found with dad. Back dating my logs now that I have my own account.

Found as part of a short walk along the trail with 4y/o Geo-son. I spotted the camouflage easily but was trying to figure out where the container was. It must have taken me a while because I began to doubt myself and was putting it back when geo-son announced he had found it. He walked straight up and pulled it out. Doh! Nice hide!

This was an easy find as it was sitting in the open we have Put it back where it belongs thanks for the cache TNLN SL

ABL973 found this while out caching with Square_Pegs. I brought a few travel bugs with me which will visit this cache. The weather has been much better than I expected, although it has been quite cool. Thanks to for placing this cache.

What great camo on the cache. I spotted it immediately but where is the container? Aha there it is. Thanks for the clever hide.

Find # 2803
Date 27th Apr 2013
Time 10:20 AM

After a quick decision between myself and my caching partner in crime, SedgwickDave, it was decided we would throw the bikes on the back of the car and head for the newly created Peninsula Link Trail as well as a number of other caches in the area including another cache crossed off our D / T matrix, AKA "Project81". Dave picked me up at 7AM and we were on the trail by just after 8AM.

This was a well camoed cache that had us tricked at first, but we were soon able to find it.

Thanks to Cathylmorgan & Julz76 for the cache.

Found @1017 #2764
What better then to do a power trail on a long weekend! Today's weather looked ideal but there was a mention of windy conditions in the afternoon which was a killer on the ride back to the car. Joining me today was my caching wingman and mate Ahomburg who was also keen for some numbers too. We started at the north end of the trail, parking close to PLT - Wee One but failed to final the northerest one and well after 20mintues decided to head south see if our luck would improve. Four hours later we had completed all the caches even the 3 newer placed ones just past Frankston Flinders road. Looks like this trail will expand even further south as other sections are open up. It was a great morning and only took about 1 hour to get back to the card pushing hard against the 40km/h head wind.[xx(] Great hides of different styles seen today which was great too. Many Thanks to Cathylmorgan & Julz76 for the huge effort in establishing this epic series. Awesome!

A nice mild night so what better thing to do at 2:30 am than hop on the bike and ride 5km along the Peninsula Link Trail to find some more of the PLT series of caches, as well as a couple of trads along the way. The caches along the trail have been great fun finding and I have done many with my two boys who have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the cache finding. With them fast asleep, I was on my own tonight and I only had trouble with finding one of the ten caches. Only six more to go after tonight (until they extend the trail). Thanks.

A quick find. TFTC

Our second find for the day was a little easier. M was onto it in a second. TNLNSL TFTC KeMS

A great day for a bike ride, so why not couple it with a bit of caching. Set off and yes it was a great day for a ride, lots of Muggles thought so also! The Muggle factor was without doubt the most difficult factor of the day.
I am embarrassed to admit that I walked past it and then turned around as someone when past and there it was - I don't know how I missed it. TFTC

Find # 932 Found @14:03Hrs

We were going to hit this trail on Friday but other more important things came up so we put it off till To-Day & what a good day it was for caching not to many muggles & the weather was not to hot or cold just right for a bike ride along this trail..

Find #10 of a joint ssmc4 & EuDes bike-riding caching adventure along the PLT (which during the day brought up my 1500th find milestone).

Very nicely done! Thanks cathylmorgan & Julz76.

Another easy find. I thought it would be a bit of a pipe dream finding this one but it wasn't.

I missed the previous cache on my way north for the time being due to muggles passing by GZ just as I did but the coast was clear for this one and I quickly had the stash in hand at 13:20.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks cathylmorgan & julz76.

Good hiding and very innovative

Nice hide, found by the geokids! Thanx

Good hide

Quick find by millsy031's geodaughter. #4 today. Tftc

Found with lochb - I spotted something as we pulled in and an unusual feature was immediately located, with the cache found soon after

This one was certainly not working. Nice job. TFTC

Have to be quick, but a nice trail for an afternoon out

Found @ 3:41pm, find # 2040
Sent from out on a good Friday cache hunt along the PLT hopefully finding lots of great cache hides.
Thanks to cathylmorgan & julz76 for this cache and all the caching fun.

Found on another TDC night run, we did the series on bike, certainly was a good ride. Thanks for the cache.

The Demolition Crew (TDC) met up for another legendary day/night caching run, this time focusing on the PLT (Peninsula Link Trail) in the Melbourne SE area. Bikes were deployed for this, and are becoming a big feature of our caching, which is fantastic. A great variety of hides were found, and some good numbers for the night, as well as some other caches around the area besides the PLT ones. My thanks to the cache owners for their efforts in placing the caches.

Enjoyed the trail and varitey of caches very much. Another hide that was a bit different, liked it. TFTC.

I was tempted to refill my water bottle, but gave this one a miss. Thanks.

Run Summary
----------------------
We've been looking at PLT series for a while now, and decided to take a ride to pick them up tonight. The new link is a great asset and speeds up access to the Mornington Peninsula. The Demolition Crew have used it extensively in the late early hours of the morning to return home. At this time it has no cars on it. That's the way we like it
So once again we are down here collecting caches and having a great ride. Thanks to the CO for all there efforts.

Very nicely presented

Great cache idea in a nice location.
TFTH. Signed log.

11:01
A perfect day to pedal on the PLT - and what a fabulous trail it is!
This cache location was being guarded by a very ginger cat who was not too anxious to move - perhaps waiting for the "not working" device to work!

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt cathylmorgan.

A nice easy find on the PLT.
Not sure if it will last long as it is quite visible form one side.
The container was on the ground when I aproached.
replaced to its right spot but not sure if the hide is in the correct position. Might need to check on it
TFTC

Something about this cache keeps me thinking about it over and over, adding to Faves.

Funny little cache today. Had a bit of a ".... wat" moment but realised it must be what I was looking for.

Great cache! TFTF

back down on the next day thanks

Today (Sunday) I had two missions. First, to ride 100 kms in one week in early preparation for the Ride to Conquer Cancer (http://goo.gl/lQq1U). Second, to do this series which is highly rated. I was not disappointed, with a different experience at every find. I'd taken the train from my home in Hawthorn, to Frankston, and then to Baxter. That last leg is the diesel that runs to Stony Point, and not very often. I completed the series from bottom to top, and then kept riding up the Nepean to Mordialloc, from where I trained back home. A very satisfying day indeed.

This is a classic. Wish it was working, for sure. A fave! T4TC cathylmorgan and julz76!

Well this one is unusual I can't say that I have seen one like this before, great job cathymorgan. Signed the log then I was on my way. Thanks

Logging with permission as I helped place the cache

Nice clever hide really needed to tap into some combined knowledge of caching with landsergruppe and Swaggies to find this one .. TFTC

It was a pity this was not real because we could have used it. The day was heating up nicely and it was not even 9:30. Found & logged and we continued on.

Found on a caching bike ride with Swaggies and Jyetara, This is turning out to be a good series of caches, not the usual boring plastic jar in the tree stump routine here! A well done cache hide!!. TFTC

Another after work jaunt with my caching mate Slink1. A lot of fun was had. We always enjoy a spot of caching! TFTC SL

Out to complete the PLT series with Dunko as a walk, proved to be a great time
thanks for the caching fun SL

Pea bear & I are back today with our bikes to tackle some more of this great series. Followed the GPS which took us straight to it. Couldn't miss it, even though it wasn't in the first place we tried. A very fun cache. TFTC

Found with BorisB&Natasha on a bike ride along the trail. No problems finding this one! LOL. Very cool, although today I wish it was working. TFTC

Catching up on some very old logs that got lost during upload.
A lovely walk down the Peninsula link trail, a nice variance of hides too!
I managed to spot this one from the track.
Thanks for the cache
