Hi xPhenoms,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. 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 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, 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.

This one needs maintenance. Found in a bit of a mess. Restored everything I could find back into the container. Signed damp log. Did what I could. Watch out for big red ants here I just managed to remove one from me before I got bit.

Needs maintenance.
The container was half full of black icky water when I found it. It was visible from several meters away. it was open and content spilled all around.
I cleaned out the container ,but didnt have anything to dry it out with. replaced items in a new baggie,and placed back where i think it should have been.
all content was soggy.

I am attending the Whittlesea Mega Event in a couple weekends time, and a recently published challenge cache has had me working towards a new goal!

100 cache finds in 24 different LGA's. I had 21 when it was published, already spent a daytrip getting an LGA about 1.5 hours from me over that number, Whittlesea itself will be an easy one, and then I needed one more!

Luckily, I already had 86 cache finds in Central Coast! And I was travelling through here to visit my friend in Newcastle! So decided it would be the perfect time to get that number up to 100.

Targetted some of the easiest caches as I didn't have a whole lot of time, so these Classic Motorcycles fit the bill.

---

This cache was unfortunately very wet! I still managed to get my name in the logbook, but it needs some urgent TLC.

Thanks

Third quick find to enable us to return the jewels to the museum for the current caching game in GC. We pulled up right next to the cache and again had to wait for motorcyclists to pass before heading on to the next, and last on our hit list.
Log needs to be replaced, unfortunately we didn't have one in the car as it was not our normal caching car we were in.
Thanks for the hide xPhenoms.

Find #2434
Heading to Sydney, we decided to divert off the M1 to find a few caches. My wife remembers this road (not fondly) from very long trips to Sydney as a child. It would be difficult to imagine even a fraction of the M1 on it.....
A non-standard CM cache? No guard rails here? Found in the end, very wet though....

Enjoyed the hunt it was a great stop to break up the long trip around aus TFTC

July 2018 Weekend trip to Watagen National park for the Lake Macquarie History series with Fiztzy_1965 and MinnieK.

On the way North we took the old highway and collected as many caches as we could along the way.

Thanks.

Headed for a weekend away with fitzy_1965 and albida33 with the aim to collect the LMHS puzzle caches. Started our trip early Friday and back home Sunday afternoon collecting just over 120 caches along the way.

All caches found quickly and easily unless otherwise stated. All wet. Signed best we could
 
06-Jul-18
16,163. Found during a trip up north with minniek and Albida33 for the LMHS Series and many other caches along the way.

Headed up to the Newcastle region with an aim to tackle the LMHS Series (which we solved for the recent Mega but didn't have the time for that weekend) and as many bonus caches along the way. With a few hours up our sleeves during the drive up we diverted off the highway for some caches in the Classic Motorcycles Series and some others. This was the next stop for the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks jfindit/Xphenoms !! Appreciate the effort that went into this neat series.

TNLN - TFTC !!
