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.

This cache has not been found since July 16. A need maintenance logged 10/10/16. No action by the CO.
The CO's last find was 21/5 /14 . Maybe its time to archive this cache
 
31-Mar-17
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.

Hi there mobdx.

We found your cache **"HEADS UP - Lounging Around"** at 10:32:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 13935.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Today's plan was to dash into Port Augusta to test drive a vehicle, and then log a few caches before heading back to camp.

We ended up finding 10 & DNFing 2 caches today. Wink

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

This cache was found quickly.

I found this cache on a return visit to Whyalla.
I lived here for a year, in 2011/12, before moving to Berri, in the Riverland region of SA.
It was great to revisit the Whyalla area and to explore some of the tracks and trails. TFTC
 
10-Oct-15
I was, very generously, offered a trip to Whyalla with Moneydork that was too good to refuse!
Tonight's stop was in Whyalla and between Port Augusta, Iron Knob and Whyalla I found 60 caches Smile but ended the day with the only DNF Sad

Gorgeous lounge here Cool
A quick find of the cache and then on our way again as we had no time for lounging around Wink

Found by Mary & David at 1020. Left Pt Augusta this morning and cached our way south to Nuriootpa for the night. Mary wanted to visit the Wadlata Outback Centre, so David went to find this cache. He had hardly begun searching before the CO came out to offer advice. Had quite a chat about the work that takes place here. Oh, and found the cache too. Our thanks to mobdx.

Found with the Frog on our Cleavage Run for the June Long Weekend. There was sun, rain, wind and some mud. The moon lit our way at night. Awesome fun.

Thanks to mobdx and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A clever hide. TFTC
 
*FTF* Wow it has been forever since we last managed a first to find and couldn't believe our luck. We thought we had pretty much done all of the Port Augusta caches when we came through back in. March and when this one showed up on our GPS passed it by yesterday as one that might be missing only to find later that it was a new cache.

We headed over before hitching up our caravan to resume our trip home and found the cache lying exposed on the middle of the pathway. We lounged around writing in the logbook before hiding in an obvious spot.

Thanks movdx. You might want to check we placed it correctly.
