Hi casper73,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

A cache check please. Hasn't been found for two years.CO hasn't replied to my 2 messages about this and another DNF in the last 8 months. Other unsuccessful finders may have the same non-response?

Wanted an easy find somewhere today whilst doing a multi cache in progress. Alas this cache isnt where previous finders reported. Messaged CO casper73, ta

After nearly 18 months of no one finding it and the flowers not being here anymore I dont its here anymore

Bay too tricky tonight unfortunately. Nice place though

So hard but found it

Even though it's meant to be simple couldn't find

OCW the Geogirlfriend and the Geocat had his first find!
Nice easy spot on approach, TFTC!

Log too wet to sign. Flood or rain.

Hi

An easy find. I was able to spot the location of the cache on approach.
I stood in the lovely warm sun while signing the log.
Thanks.

Easy at night! TFTC!

It was really easy

Easy find with helpful hint. TFTC casper73

Certainly was hanging around, unfortunately the log had been muggled. Inserted replacement, SLRC at 12.25pm.
TFTC

Found it pretty quickly, It was indeed “hanging around” xD

Well that was easy!
Don't you hate it when you can't find it and another cacher says it was simple! Well it was, exactly where I expected and I could see it on approach, hidden but in full view at the same time.

This was my first cache of the day and after a long drive here it was a great start to the afternoon with this quick find in Hackney Street Reserve.
This is a nice reserve and the nearby home owners have taken much pride in lovely gardens - shame about the noise from the freeway though.

The log is full and badly needs replacing. I managed to squeeze my name in along the side of other logs. I could not read the clue for the final of this series.

Cache # 4152

Dnf need help with this one

Dnf

A nice find on our isolation walk!

Found it

Found Cache, however log was full...TFTC!

Very very sneaky!
Almost gave up!

Took quite a bit of searching here to find this cache today!
SL TFTC

Tftc! A top placement about 5m from GZ. No need to climb.

Nice to find this one after a DNF at another one close by. GPS wanted us in slightly different place, but previous logs indicated we needed to be just a few meters in different place. container blends in nicely, even though it's in your face. Log is full. TFTC.

Last find for the day. We wanted the last carnival souvenir & we got that! Yippee. Then we realised we weren’t too far away from find 2500.... this was it. TFTC Casper73 xo

Fairly quick find here in the storm. Got in and out before I got rained on. The thunder though is fine form! TFTC!

A few quick finds on my route from the airport to a newyears eve event. Its getting hot again quickly today. Lots of water and lots of fun.

Having hired a car for the weekend, after attending the Geocaching NSW Annual General Meeting I decided to head west and get a few more smilies. Nice easy find here, one of eleven for the day. Thanks casper73.

Great camo. Took a while for the GPS to settle but soon had CIH.Thanks for the cache

No luck

If I was supposed to go where I think other cachers logs suggested I needed to go, then today, with the geopooch in tow, was not the day for it.

So hard

The GPS was trying to send me into mountain goat territory, but the D/T rating suggested that it should be easier than that. Spotted it after a bit of a search. Then it took a good 10 minutes to remove all the weed seeds from my clothes.

Didn't take very long to spot this one. Tftc

I needed this for a "hidden on this date" square. I couldn't find it the last time I was ere. This time I braved the farmers friends and got my smiley. TFTC

Hunted around and got a bit of a swag of farmers friends. But no cache. Lots of new veg here. Smells nice too.

Loved finding this one a few years ago right at the bottom of my own street.

#4100- Out caching with thomo31 pre sunrise to beat the heat. A mini milestone for me- but a doubly good one. I have stopped to look for this one a few times now and should have been able to find it, but even knowing where and what it was, have never been able to. Today, I spotted it within a minute of arriving. Why didn't I see that before? Life's like that. So glad to get this off my map.thomo 31 added an extra bit of paper for us to sign as log is completely full- that should last a little while. Thanks

Out caching early with WaywardWoman before another 40+ degree day. Having done a couple nearby on my list WW headed here to have another look for this one. I was distracted by some birds calling nearby and by the time i caught up with her she had spotted the cache. A piece of paper from a notepad was added so we could sign it. TFTC

Yu forgot my pen didn't I !!

Looking for a long time then read the comments and it said it was hanging it was a sneaky find

#755 found this one took a bit of time before it came to light. Due to muggles using this shortcut took the cache to my car for signing. The log is full and I didn’t have anything that I could add. Signed on the side. Thanks for the cache casper73

Out and about for a friend...with some time to spare beforehand, I picked up a few caches. TFTC

Very good hiding place

Found it

Found with Jordanandmichelle log a bit late

Well camouflaged.
Found with Benandtyler
TFTC. Regards JordanandMichelle

Log is full.

Sneaky hideaway...

Sneaky

Found it

TFTC

out with the geo Family today we made a quick find here thanks

Find Number 3508

The Booo's found this cache!

We arrived at GZ and began our search, the phones proved to be more accurate than the GPSr on this occasion

Thanks casper73 for placing this cache

looked for quite a while must have left my caching eyes at home

1st one this morning

Found it

Went on a cache-blitz to set a PB of 30 in one day and reach a 1-a-day average for 2015. This is 27th of 30 for the day.

When I first attempted this cache in the morning, there was a large truck and crew-cab with a bunch of gardeners sitting out the light rain that was falling. It looked like they might be there a while, so decided to come back later.

After a day caching at Prospect, returned late afternoon with sunny sky and not a muggle in sight.

------
Postlog: The 30 finds was completed (took about 6 hours). A special mention to CO as today has been something of a mini-casper73-fest with a good number of caches created by casper73. Thanks tons for the caches casper73 - and I will return to complete the M4 series some time.

#14. Must have been blind or tried the other day found this time with second.

Found in holiday

Found TFTC

#432 - Garmin eTrex 30

This was the only find for today. I have been wanting to find this cache for a while because it fills in a missing date in my dates hidden calendar. As I was driving to GZ, I had to find somewhere to double back on the Great Western Highway so I could be on the right side of the road to turn off. I parked near the open green space and on approach to GZ, I jumped the small water channel. The fragrant mint was in abundance but not the flowers. I considered the hint and started looking in some likely places. Fortunately, I didn't come across any spiders. I decided I needed to be more thorough and as soon as I put my gloves on for safety, I spied the cache. SL. TFTC.

Found quickly. Sneaky. SL TFTC

Got it

Not what i thought

Found it on our second attempt very tricky realy need to look

TFTC

After enjoying the usual Frozen Yoghurt Tuesdays, DarkAvengerx and I needed to snag a cache to keep our streak going so made this quick find close to home

Hard in the night will b back

Find #13. Group find & night caching with Rotuma 86 & I trying to introduce geocaching to bro, 18yr old son & his best friend. This was the second find for the night. It took us a while to find this especially there being no light there except for our phone torches. Rotuma86 and I were near the wall and pulled aside a curtain of hanging flowers and there behind it was a huge spider!! No exaggeration, that thing was massive. We both screamed & ran frightening the rest of the group and after our near death experience, rotuma86 & I kept our distance from the vines & basically just became light holders. Good thing teen son was there & not afraid of spiders so he kept searching and found it without realizing it. Well hidden. TFTC.

This took me longer than I should have. I went on the wrong side and jumped a gigantic river (jk) because I couldn't be bothered to walk around but anyway CIH so happy. Thanks this was enjoyable.

After arriving at GZ I felt a little uncomfortable and so I PAF just to narrow down the search area which proved very helpful as I then spotted the cache straightaway. SL #1994 on streak day #1060 TFTC

Loved the flowers!!!!!!!

Had to give this one another try. About to give up when I spotted it. Nicely done:)

Luckily Master Q did not find the stones so scary anymore either;)

TFTC.

Tricky little one blends in well

Very good hide curtain ally took me a bit. Tftc

Haha, this will catch a few. I admit I had to use the hint here. Soon enough after taking that in, I had CiH.

Thanks for another one casper.

Well I smelt beautifully of mint - but I couldn't find it. Admittedly it was very hot & my legs were starting to sizzle so I didn't look very long.

Too good for me today- I must be blind! Even with 2 PAF's I gave up. I will be back.

Arrived at GZ and thought about how I would hide a cache here and went about looking for it. No! Not here, so I change tact and spotted something in the corner of the eye and had a sign of relief at having cache quickly. Did the legals and replace as found. TFTCM
Cheers
Dkmacca

Nice and quick. Thanks

I looked around a bit, only to find the cache staring me in the face...

First I'm at the wrong side of the water, so back Q and I go. Now on the right side but GPS all over again. Stupid phone... Q was afraid to walk on the rocks so it was difficult to have a good look around as I had to carry him.....

Will be back:)

Quite a refreshing minty find for me, love the aroma of GZ here. Thanks Casper73

Found now After a days work I smell like mint...
Nice one

Thank you

Found it thanks on we go

I'm glad I brought my eagle eyes middle son as I was way off!?!

26/12/14. 3:50 PM. Cache #2113. Streak day #187. 1st of 5 finds today. I DNF'd here last Sunday and then about an hour after I logged that, the CO updated the new co-ords (although his "Updated Coordinates" log was backdated by Groundspeak to 20/12). The new co-ordinates are so much better; 20+ metres was a shocker!

This new search area is within the wider area I'd searched on Sunday, but by then I'd already been searching for half an hour and not really giving it my all, so no wonder I missed it. Today, on the other hand, much quicker, but still tricky. After a first sweep of the plant life yielded no cache, I gave into temptation and started ringing TC. But no sooner had the call connected than I locked eyes on the cache, so I just had a quick chat instead. Signed and then headed on to my next cache, "Greystanes Creek Bike/Walking Track". TFTC }:)

Found the cache hanging around. A nice colour for that type of container.
Thanks for the cache.

#1321

Spent the day busily preparing the house for tomorrow's family Christmas do. So finally got out and looked for a quick close cache... Didn't find one that wasn't in downtown Parramatta, so this had to do.

Took about 10 minutes to find this one. Spotted the wasp nest in the tree a few metres from GZ first!
Plenty of spots the cache could be.

Eventually found the right one and took away to complete signing duties and replaced.
