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.

MIA. As per previous posts, no cache

No replies to maintenance requests. Multiple dnfs.

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.

I did look at the log but I went just to have a look in case, and yep its gone

Didn't read the previous logs, had a look and also couldn't find it.

We had a look around here, but noting the number of DNFs before us I think it is time for a visit by the owner to check this one.

We did many of this series today, I decided to leave this one after reading so many of the previous logs.

Looked for a while but didn't find it. The glad-bag that is there is different to the ones you have been using.

Did this set of the series with one adult, 2 babies, a three year old and two backpacks. Was quite a hike. Lots of fences with a few that had to have everything lifted over. Found all but one cache. TFTCs JackaKid.

Wasn't there. As previously noted, signs of vandalism

Another quick find. TFTC

Looks like the cache has been muggled. found a zip lock bag near gz and as i was leaving what looked like a destroyed log.

Looked twice for this but could not find it. We did find an empty ziplock bag nearby so this one may have disappeared.

I had a good look around serval described locations and was not able to uncover a cache today.

Thanks.

Found at 12:41pm with JordsAU.

The Dynamic Duo (JordsAU and Jase90) were on an epic adventure to the Nation's Capital for the weekend. A massive road trip indeed. We had left for Canberra on Friday evening a little later than we anticipated and desired, but escaping the Big Smoke proved to be no problem as we worked our way to our destination.

Once we were on the M5 freeway it was all engines go, myself driving and JordsAU being my handy navigating co-pilot, not to mention the very skilful DJ and great company.

'JackaKid's Geocache 15 - Bell VC' was our 164th cache of the weekend and our 19th for the day.

Yesterday we tackled the 'Kowen Roo' trail in Kowen Forest. It's fair to say that we bit off more than we could chew with attempting this trail. For one, we didn't realise how mountainous the terrain was until we arrived and figured it out the hard way. We were a little sore from the 35km we had travelled by foot on Saturday when we managed to reach the milestone of 100 cache finds as well as the 25 odd km's we did yesterday.

The weather this morning was spectacular for being outdoors, albeit a little windy. The forecast from the week prior was against us but we had no such trouble today. We were on our way back to Sydney after a tiring and demanding weekend of almost non-stop caching. We figured we would work our way back slowly and notch up a few more smileys before leaving town as well as maybe a handful on the drive.

We spotted the 'JackaKid' trail on the map yesterday as a good one to knock over and it didn't seem too difficult. It was certainly nice exploring the relatively new and modern community of Jacka.

Our Canberra trip was a beauty, we racked up a hell of a lot of caches in a short space of time especially given some of the terrain we were up against. We had very few DNF's along the way as well which made it even better. I'm already looking forward to our next visit in the near future. We very much enjoyed learning some of the history and experiencing the great sights.

Signed log, thanks for the cache JackaKid

"Found with Jase90 on our epic weekend adventure in our Nation’s Capital. This expedition was partly inspired by the Geocaching Road Trip ’15 promotion and also because my goal was to reach 1,999 finds so my 2,000th milestone could be the final ever Geocaching Block Party in Seattle in September 2015. Jase90 and I left late on Friday night and, driving down, we made a few stops on the way down so he could find a few of my favourites along the way.

On Saturday morning, we targeted the HMAS power trail and managed to knock off all 90 from the series in less than 7 hours by foot, including Coppins Creek, Bernie's Boulders and Aerial Bold. Afterwards we headed back towards Canberra and we continued caching late into the night (in between breaks in the storms and bad weather). We managed to find the following before calling it quits around 11:00 PM: Gallifrey 2, Geocacher's Lost Lipstick!, Down and Dirty 3, Tourist Tips, Dominion of 2183, Foxy Place, Southwell Surprise, The Thirteenth Man, Sharkiefan's Challenge #3, Gungahleen Schoolhouse, One-Oh-Fore!, Hawkey's 2nd, Grate Expectations, Deep Extra Cover, Wally's Walk, Wally's Way, Harrison and Horsepark, Oblivion, Busy Bees, Heritage Site: ThereFore! A Cache., Liquidambar, Bug on, The Glassworks, and Can you hear the drums… err Bells Fernando.

On Sunday we decided to tackle the Roo geo-art power trail by foot and were able to complete 25 starting from the tail, as well as Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine, Kowen Kamp and Reid's Ridge along the way. The terrain was much harder than we expected and the weather was freezing – we could see snow on top of the mountains in the near distance. We had to pick the coldest weekend in recent years to come down to Canberra didn’t we! In the evening we continued our hunt and found the following: The Edward Locomotive, Loch Be a Lady Tonight, carpark of shame, Close To Home, Heart & Soul of Parliament, Fore!midable Contribution, Granite Sphere & Questacon, Peace and Levitation?.

On an unplanned, extra day in the Australian Capital Territory, we felt our legs needed a rest and that they had done enough walking over the weekend, so we went for more park and grab type caches. We started with Oz Rock - Cold Chisel: 'Cheap Wine', then completed 20 of the JackaKid’s series, before doing Little Miss Hayley, Big Sis Angela, Little Man Tristan, Guard Sei, Guard Quattro, Ingress to Forde, DNF #3, Tiptoe through the Tulips and OldFed 4. On the way home back to Sydney, we stopped found Collecta Cache, Cache-abet….Z and GWM 1914-1918.

Thanks to all of the Cache Owners for the hides and helping Jase90 and I have an amazing visit to Canberra."

Found this section of five caches. All easy finds. TFTC JackaKid.

Had fun finding these caches. TFTC JackaKid.

I skipped a few so i could drive more as I tired - a perfect summer's day to geocache - certainly enjoyed the walk - thanks JackaKid

Nice and easy

At -3.3 it was very fresh to be out caching in shorts. Luckily the cache was located quickly and signed before our hands froze. TFTC

Out on a suburban cache run with mr_roo. Picked up a few more of these JK series. TFTC

Found today with kittykatch, she dropped me off and I walked to this one from the closed road. TFTC

Another quick find for the after work daily

Thanks for another in the series, JackaKid

Easy find

A night-time raid on this cache saw us standing among some roos who didn't seem fazed in the slightest by our presence. TFTC

Came out this way to do the JackaKid VC series with Ginger Floppsy. 1- 30 were found except for #25 which is obviously missing. Thanks for the series the rest were easy finds.

Another find as I continued my walk through the area.

Decided it was a nice day for a bike-ride so my buddy and I went out to get this new VC series. The hiding is all very easy, except for a few which were hidden among a ton of rocks or not in ways too similar to the rest of the series. Even though they were easy finds they were still very rewarding, even stopped off to get a few extras along the way. My friend was a premium so we went for the new premium cache "Sky's the limit" as well, shame I can't log it because it was a really fun cache. We even spotted the elusive " Franklin " while getting caches in Bonner. Needless to say we had quite an eventful caching experience. Anyway TFTFs Jackakid, I enjoyed boosting my finds count substantially even if I only got 29 of them, I can't wait to see what your later hides and series will be like!

Found on a late afternoon walk of the reserve. Mostly found OK, although some a little damp, but logs OK.
Interesting to walk around here off track.

Given that #30 is in the reserve (and the stile is near #16), I expected this one to be on the reserve side of the fence, and the GPS indicated that, but it was found on the other side. Fortunately I was able to grab it by reaching over while avoiding the barbed wire.

Thanks

A quick run down the easy ones. Back for the bush ones next time. TFTC

To-day (well the morning was) was a beautiful crisp Canberra winters day. Decided to go for a stroll (12 kilometres) around Mulligans Flat and nearby suburbs to find a few caches. Nice walking through woodlands rather than thick Namadgi scrub. TFTCs.

Easy find with JetFuselage tftc

Out caching with Kel_Mar TFTC JackaKid

Out with MGROCKS, bike riding the tracks for VC series Thanks Jacka kids

What a beaut winters day to be out cacheing, Canberra was our destination and JackaKid's were the target. All the caches have good coordinates and and only 1 DNF no;25. We met other cachers here today, Traineerdiplomat, RgRocks, Kel_Mar, nice to meet you all. Thanks for the series.

Found with my Mum, Boeing737, TFTC

#3391 - 20:05; Out on the track again with MrDamage tonight, but decided to stay close to home and collect a few of the newer caches in this developing power trail. MrD headed back to the geomobile while I did the short stroll along the path to make the find on this one, which was our third and last for tonight. TFTC JackaKid

Found 10:06 pm with LuckyL10n. Out tonight with LuckyL10n to find caches. The continuation of finding this series for me. This cache not too difficult to locate. A bunch of kangaroos were grazing nearby which we sent in all directions as we approached GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

We were only a few geocaches away from 4000 find, so our goal today was to get 23 caches, so that I could be on 3999. We were successful, meaning that I will be able to make my 4000th cache a special one. We decided to use the JackaKid series to get our numbers up. After a long drive from home, we got to our first find. Then we took about an hour or so to drive around the area getting the caches. We managed to park about 20-30m from most of the caches, meaning that we were able to jump out of the car and quickly signed the log. Though, taking off all of the zip-lock bags took a little bit of time. Apart from that, this series provided beautiful views of the area and some cool looking architecture in the houses! The muggles were not around here today - except a barking dog that ran after us when we got to one of the caches. He didn't attack, he just chased us and barked a lot. TFTC JackaKid!

Had some spare time and so Darzee Di and I went out to find a few caches including this one. tftc Jackakid

A nice little series that was quick to do on this chilly day and ACTchil and I having some time up our sleeve had to finish this set. tftc jackakid

A Canberra Bushwalking Club amble along the CCT from Forde to Hall revealed a couple of caches. Trip report at http://www.johnevans.id.au/wp/6-june-2015-the-bedulluck-waltz/ . TFTC.

Am doing this series slowly to eke out the enjoyment of being out on these glorious winter days TFTC

A wonderful day for a stroll in this fine place. Ta.
And some CITO as well

9526 + 1076 = 10602. Quick find on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

I had a spare hour up my sleeve this afternoon so headed out this way for more of this nice little series. I left the one up the hill for another day and started off at number 12. This was a quick find and not so quick sign (lol). Headed off to the next one. Plenty of dogs around but no Franklin to be seen !

Thanks again Jackakid !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

This was an easy find on a quiet Sunday morning. Thanks JK

Kids struggled with his one but finding it was a great reward!

#841 3 of 12 today.

A quick run around the local area to pick up a bunch of caches published while I was away.

Tftc JackaKid

A nice series which I managed to complete on a quiet Friday morning. TFTC and for the series JackaKid

A possum watched me look for the cache, and sign the log.

Missed these 3 the other day when I was here...I think seeing Franklin the dog got me too excited and when I got back to the car, I forgot to drive around here. No problems though, out in the area today so decided to clean them up.

Thanks for another one JackaKid......alas, no sightings of our 4 legged friend today.

Found on a cold by nice and sunny morning. Thanks JK.

# 1506 Log to follow

Another find on my way around the area.

4150. When the iPhone played a familiar tune, I ummed and arred for a split second and then headed out the door, much to he dismay of my fellow cacher sitting across the room.
This one was next and the container was soon discovered despite the sneaky hide. Yeah, a blank log and a *FTF* at 1016hrs.
Thanks JackaKid for the cache, great little series and the history lesson.

STF @ 10:21AM after missing out on the FTF we headed up hear to grab another quick cache for the day. Good hide on this one.

TFTC JackaKid

Seen these ones come out when I was at work this morning, however there was no chance of me doing the FTF dash. So this afternoon, I decided to swing past and grab some caches while the sun was still up.

Parked nearby for this one and made the short stroll, quick find and sign, cache returned and off I went.

Thanks for another cache placement JackaKid

Out with Np237 in the hope of a FTF, however we were a fraction late..
Thanks Jackakid for continuing the series
