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.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

Needs maintenance posted over 6 months ago. No finds since then. No sign of any owner maintenance. Time to archive.

Looked all over with three other cachers.
No luck today I think this cache has gone the way of the Dodo.

This was on my list for today but I didn't bother going for a look. It's been since May last year that it was found and in good condition. Too many DNF's without a check from the CO's. I'll maybe find it another time we are up this way.

Few trees have fallen over. May need to be checked.

Could CO please check on / replace if necessary the cache. A number of DNFs now over an extended period of time.

Out and about with GKTCRobbo......we searched high and low for 20mins.......there is a few spots it could be but we didn't find it.

had a quick look before deciding this area the gps was pointing to was run down, the log was obviously going to be wet and there was a high chance it may be missing.

No luck today. We will return.

Had a good search but to no avail... picked up and looked at most items at GZ however the GPS was jumping around a bit..

TFTC mozzafamily!

Fading light may have got us on this one. Hard looking with a phone torch. Lots of freshly fallen trees which may have disrupted the site.

Another little park I didn't know was there! Log was almost disintegrated from the wet. TFTC

No idea for this one...

No luck Didn't help that it's pouring rain. Might have another go next time I'm at Caloundra.

Out and about today grabbing caches, us Parko's were on a mission

We started our search having no idea what we were actually looking for when Mrs Parko yells out "found it"

Sadly the log needs replacing and not sure it is where it is meant to be.

Cache certainly needs a bit of TLC!

TFTC mozzafamily

I can't believe we found it. The log is wet but able to scratch in our name. Sneaky hide tftc

I picked up some thing and said to wife look a hole in here but no container
Then then placing it back down seen the real cache where my hand was. Lol. TFTC
Need some repair as log not in good shape

Searched and searched but couldn't find it

Hmm, very subtle. Took a little while looking for a larger cache - actually looked at the hiding spot but put it back cause I was thinking too big. Once Geowife said Nano, I knew where to go.

I think I signed the log, but it is such a poor state, it was hard to tell and may not have survived the re-storing.

TFTC

TFTC I have put a dry piece of paper around old log.

But log wet. Worried about ripping it.

Found but couldn't log

Wet and soggy.

#109

Todays mission was to round up some caches along the Caloundra coastline, after grabbing fish and chips for lunch at Moffat beach mum and i headed off on our geocaching adventure.

After arriving at the GZ this was a quick and easy find. Im sure it would have of proven a bit more difficult if the cache wasn't out in plain sight. The log was completely wet, so i was unable to sign. I am able to provide photos if necessary to claim this find. I returned and rehid the cache a bit better. TFTC

First day of some hols at Moffat beach and we all decided to go for a late night short walk. My suggestion of wandering up here was successful and soon Tinda14 and I were finding the clearest way to the GZ. To my amazement, the cache appeared in the first place I looked, which was excellent so we could escape the bugs around.
The log is now chock-full and ready to be replaced. TFTC which is very nicely crafted and concealed!

Decided we'd head north for a sampling of the caches on offer around the Sunshine Coast area today. Got off to a late start & didn't really kick off until after lunch at Maroochydore but still somehow managed to put another 20 smilies on the map. This was #17 for the day!

This is find #1295 for us.

Rolled up to near GZ to find an elderly muggle working on his campervan in close proximity to where we believed the cache was waiting. said a quick hello & as he didn't seem particularly interested in what we were doing we proceeded with the search. It was only moments later when Geo-pop came up with the goods. Log signed & replaced as found.

While this was a quick find for us it is still deserving of a favourite point for it's well crafted nature.

This was going to be another late night of GC'ing for 'spinna76' and myself... How do I know this already? That's because they always are when we go out night caching on a school night! There is just something about GC'ing at night that is relaxing and refreshing and honestly, there is just not enough hours in the day for work and play...

This one had us poking around for quite a bit. And, unfortunately was not going to be the only cache of this type we had to poke around in pitch black to find tonight.

As we were here late at night we were attempting to be as stealth as possible due to and the Muggle homes around us. That being said, the sound of us ferreting around a bush at night could be compared to that of using a jackhammer in the day.

I found what I thought was it but then thought that I have not found it. It was not until 'spinna76' came in to inspect that his torch just showed us where that cache was hiding.

Thanks for the tricky hide 'mozzafamily'.

#680 @ 8:53 PM Out caching with MinkosDes tonight. Far from an easy find but quickly had cache in hand. Well spotted MinkosDes. ~ TFTC mozzafamily

The cache is still there with log, but it's not in the hole in the log where everyone's looking think out of the box.

I never knew these trails existed and I have been comin ghere for 30 years! No container, I found some paper park and added it to the hide with my name on it. Cheers

Out on a walk this morning this was the last on the way back to the holiday house.

Spent 15 min searching until I found a part of the cache. It was an extremly good hide but was sadly lacking a log book to sign.

TFTC a really great hide and worth a fav point in spite of the missing innards!

"Inner" container was missing, had a good look around but couldn't locate it.

Found the cache after a bit of looking as we thought the cache has been muggled. Sometimes you have to overlook the obvious. TFTC!

I was on a high after seeing a black and yellow cockatoo in this bush (see photo). But then I found what I think is the container but no log. I took a photo and will email the co for clarification.

Camped at Landsborough and drove to Coloundra, to do some caching.
We visited some lovely areas, with a good variety of hides.

Nicely constructed cache, quickly found, signed and returned.
Many thanks for placing this cache, mozzafamily, for us and others to find.

Thanks for the walk
Clever hide
Thanks wozzafamily

Found camo but empty!! Please check

I seemed to have a list of jobs as long as my arm today but there, written between the lines, was 'geocache'! So, I dutifully stopped in here on my way from Caloundra to Kawana Waters, even though I did not have the GPSr with me. The pin on the satellite photo was probably about 10m out but I followed the little geotrail and looked around for a minute. I spotted something that didn't quite fit for various reasons, but in other ways looked like it fitted perfectly with the immediate environment. As others before me have mentioned, I had a slight hesitation before seeing the well hidden container. I replaced it exactly as I found it! Great work mozzafamily, thanks again!

When the longest way to find the cache
I most didn't find.
Great hide

Out caching with Comback
Thank you for the cache

Holidaying in Qld and decided to do a days caching with gwd.aussie .Nearly gave up on this one but gwd.aussie spotted it . Thanks for a great cache

Continued to walk the Caloundra coastline from Golden Bch to Dickey Bch collecting caches. Cant think of a better way to spend these sunny winter days exploring the area. Managed a slow climb up the hill into the park and GPS had me right at the spot. Great camo but had seen one of these before so it was a quick find and on my way. TFTC!

[green]Find #3170[/green]...

Out and about grabbing some 'local' caches as I try to keep some sort of streak going...

Nice & quiet this afternoon... Found this well hidden cache, stamped log & replaced... Had me bluffed for a minute thinking it was gone but then saw the sneaky little hide...

Thanks for bringing me here mozzafamily and for the cache...

Second attempt. The first time, I really came away scratching my head because I had seen something and it didn't deliver for me. Returned and persevered - so sneaky, so clever.
Signed the log and went away smiling.
TFTC mozzafamily!

#244
Gathering more smileys in Caloundra with IolantheK on our second play-day. Oh boy, tree cover again. My GPS hates it, because it's always all over the place. Well, we just had to broaden our search a bit and look for a likely camo. Didn't even take that long after all... It was put back though, because... well, just read earlier logs. HaHa (I only did that afterwards) After a second inspection we indeed had the cache in hand, signed the log and were on our merry way again. TFTC mozzafamily This one earns a favourite from me. I just have one left.

Out for a play-day with Dutchie1950, and we're back up at Caloundra again [^] We spent quite a few minutes before finally spotting the hide here. And then we thought we'd got it wrong, so more searching happened, but a closer inspection revealed the truth TFTC, mozzafamily. A neat hide, so a favourite point from me.

I had the pleasure of being chauffeur driven around a few caches by my local guide Konie today. Once we spotted the geotrail it delivered us directly to the right spot. Cache was then reasonably obvious. Or so I thought until it wasn't there. But my guide suggested I should put my glasses on and look a bit harder. Oh it's under my thumb - doh. Nice one.
Thanks mozzafamily for the cache.

Cool hide look hard

Nice find, clever use of what nature had on offer. Didn't know this park existed, thanks for taking us there. TFTC

Love the name - dunnycan park, sounds so inviting!
On the way to the surf club for lunch (to use my birthday discount voucher), stopped here as we were actually as but early. Short walk, off track, walked around in circles a little bit, then back and....ooooh...that looks suspicious, we'd walked straight past it before. Picked up the great camo, noted the decoy and found the cache. Very clever indeed - seems this has tricked a few...
#535 @ 1140h. Tftc mozzafamily

Nice hide, TFTC

WE found the great camo for this cache but there was nothing inside. I see it was been found 2 days later so maybe I only had a "boy look".

still there due to new found it logs.

A quick stop with thehairbear on our way to the beach. After reading a few signs we made our way to GZ and soon had the sneaky container in hand.

Another nice hide mozzafamily. [^]

After signing the log all was returned as found.

TFTC mozzafamily.

Found it with Konie. Cool hide!

TFTC

Found the log, no problems for me, not sure about previous visitors...

unfortunately we found the spot but the cache wasn't in it. someone must have been watching. we searched the area to find an empty cache, but nothing.

tftc

Found on my second attempt. Yesterday's was never going to work. A car full of meerkats watching me on as I searched.

But today I snuck out early and could spend some time searching. Like yesterday, I spent too long searching at the coords. But re-reading the description and Captain Terror's entry set me straight. The cache is in good condition. A little tattered, but still serviceable. Looked quite full.

TFTC!

Looked as best we could but with some one rebuilding an engine in a van at GZ it was impossible to check properly. next time.

Found while out caching with earthlight
Nice easy find for us today
tftc

A great afternoon caching with the x-trailers soon had this cache in our hands.
took trackables to visit.
TFTC

When I reached GZ I noticed something immediately, I picked it up and had a look, hmmm, is the cache missing? Then I had a better look and spotted the well hidden cache. Sneaky!!!

Thanks for the cache mozzafamily

I read the description and then looked at the GPS and things did not seem to match so I took the walk to the area and soon spotted the hide but I thought that the cache had gone missing until I looked a bit closer.

Very sneaky. TFTC.

Our last cache for the day. This one is a little bit sneaky!

My final find for the day with Wombles.... we grabbed this one after the local event & it was to be our last search so I am glad we found it. Once we decided to trust the GPS and not where we thought it would be, we found ourselves dreading finding this one... a micro here? Oh golly! But thankfully it was a quick find.... although it is very sneaky little thing isn't it... clever and cheeky of you Mozzafamily

Cache find #1194. This find took longer then it should have. We stealthfully moved to GZ, as there was a lady camped near by in her motorhome.
We both searched until Mrs GT54 read the description, and remembered seeing something that may fit the bill. Within minutes the cache was located. Mr GT54 said he had located the same container earlier, but dismissed it as being the cache. What a clever cache creation. Very obvious, but not obvious. TFTC.

Found it#41

Cheers for the catch. Beware of the sharp tree leaves. They will get ya

Captain Terror and I were up on the Sunshine Coast for a few days of caching when this cache found itself as our next closest. We were cherry picking the coast, grabbing caches that our stats would benefit from. The Captain decided not to listen to me when it came to the approach for this cache and instead we found ourselves stuck on the gutter. We eventually got all four wheels back on the bitumen and then the Captain decided to take the same route I had previously suggested

We were finally out of the car and started checking all of the usual places for the cache. When we came up stumps we decided to actually look at our gpsr's and try and maybe search at the coordinates not 10m away We headed over and started searching, the Captain headed aways a bit and let me know he found something suspicious but couldn't find the container. I headed over and agreed that yes that was quite suspicious. We started looking on the ground thinking the container had fallen out until we realised it was under those giant hands of his.

We retrieved the logbook and signed it before replacing all as found. Thanks for the cache mozzafamily, this one will be hard to forget in a hurry.

Before I even got us to this cache today, I managed to make a big buffoon of myself. Navigating to the spot I decided to turn off the road, directly up and over the gutter. Should have worked, however my front suspension is less than good and as such bottomed out and got a little bit stuck. On the gutter. Awkward. A little jiggling of gears and I had us back on the road and I chose a different approach to the off-road parking. Good start Captain, good start.

Net88 who was still chuckling at my bruised ego hopped out with me and we went in search of this cache. It sounded like it would be a bit tricky and so we started looking for 'something not quite right'. I had one idea which didn't work so well and so looked further afield. The co-ordinates didn't have us in a spot that matched the clues so we ignored all that and just looked. After a few minutes I spied something that did not fit in. I grabbed it to investigate closer as Net toddled towards me. It didn't seem to be the cache though. I put it back down and noted my hand had been covering up the giveaway detail. Another day in the life of the ham-fisted Captain. The logbook was extracted and signed before being all replaced as found. My GPSr today had the cache 7m south of the posted co-ords. And I did wonder if maybe the Difficulty rating wanted bumping up a little bit. A nice find and a memorable couple of moments. TFTC mozzafamily

TFTC very clever...,obvious but not obvious

A very clever cache. Nearly overlooked but found after a quick search. TFTC

Set out on a great day of caching on the Sunshine Coast with Fasted59 and Barbbowman Weather great and after and early start homed in on the local caches. Nearly fell for the red herring, then got it.
TFTC

out for a day of caching fun on the Sunny Coast with Fast Ed and Membsec

oh no the ??? is missing

after a good look i pick up the container and ask ... is this what you are looking for ???

i like it

Well I found what I was looking for, but thought oh no the log is missing. Spent a bit of time looking when Barb says "did you look at that"

Got me mozzafamily.

So it seems it "Is" all good with the cache.

TFTH

What a great little hide. First one of its type we have seen. Thanks for being different with this one.

Tft out fist in a while our pen didny work and lots of people around

Nice easy find for the 1st one for 2014, signed log and returned. Tftc

Unfortunately someone decided that the little cache was more important for them and have removed it. Nice hiding place though

After a quick search around, found this tricky hide!

Nice spot, thanks mozzafamily

Found at 0703. I wasn't too confident about this one as my GPS took me into the bush. But I need not have worried. TFTC.

After grounding my child for disappearing on our afternoon walk, I needed to use my phones last 2% of battery to find this. Luckily it was quick and easy, although I was momentarily disappointed when I thought the log had fallen out or been removed. Not to worry though, all good here still. TFTC mozzafamily

Found this awesome little cache!

A bit of a surprise to find this piece of bushland in this area, a very clever cache container. Thanks mozzafamily for the cache.

There was a beautiful flower on a grevillea which I stopped to look at.
We looked at the signs and followed the GPS.
Quick walk to GZ and looked around and spotted something different and grabbed it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks mozzafamily All good with this cache

Got here righr on dusk and found gz... I say to Geolze - think this is a daylight cache (we had no torch) to which Geolze answers - here it is. Great camo. Ends a great day caching around Sunshine Coast/Maleny. TFTC

TFTC. Nice little test.

Very sneaky TFTC

Very clever. TFTC

We haven't been able to go caching for two weeks due to visitors, so today was the day that we set out to find our 3000th cache! This was number 2994. This was a nice quick find for us today - getting closer to number 3000! TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC. Nasty hide

Quick find.

After meeting up with Dahumbug at 'Noble's Lookout' we made a bee-line together to this next cache for another possible FTF. After arriving at GZ and contemplating entry in to the dark forest at night a car pulled up - Wesso! The five of us trooped in to the forest and after a short torch hunt Dahumbug came up with the goods. A nice camo job on this cache. Thanks Mozza Family for putting the time in to creating it!

Joint FTF with Chrayley and Wesso Family 3/10/13. 22:40

Log to follow

Joint *FTF* Found @ 2220 hr

As we pulled up near GZ Miss Geo and I noticed a few ohther people walking across the road with torches........Gotta be other cachers Dad, she said............Spot on. she was.

As soon as I got out of the Geovan I met Dahumbug and very soon was introduced to Chrayley and Ant87......It was just like a mini event.

So we all set off in one direction and slightly spread out, but we all seemed to be heading in one direction. [^]

It wasn't long before Dahumbug called out those 2 wonderful words......Found it!!!

Congrats Dahumbug for being FTF.

We all swarmed around Dahumbug like a moth to a light and admired the great camo job done on the
cache.[:o)]

We passed the log around as we all signed it, before Dahumbug replaced the cache as he found it.
