Will you Pine for this Gladstone, South Australia, Australia
By Tk2 on 26-Sep-15. Waypoint GC644PX

found this one a while ago with CP wanderer but forgot to log it. Better late than never

I've just replaced the cache container tonight, had to wait for the parts

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.

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.

Come on Freddo, Aussie M&M did a NM log back in July - we can do one of these now!

15 experienced cachers with +100,000 finds between them have not found your cache. Time to check the condition of the cache.

Weekend in Whyalla with Freddo and Laighside Legends[?] Don't mind if I do
Headed out Friday morning and got home Sunday night.
All up 2 events attended , 4 DNFs and 95 caches found over the 3 days
Good company and even a row boat ride too [^]
Some fun in Munyaroo Park with some fantastic geocachers and a chance to meet some geocachers who I haven't met before
We even managed 2 FTFs on our trip up

DNF! We came and looked for a decent amount of time but no cache was found, even after a PAF to previous finders

TFTC Tk2

After two long visits, this one eluded me, despite help from other finders.

Considering all the dnf's and the fact that I was here with a previous finder, it is possible this one might not be there anymore. I think it is worth a maintenance check. Thanks.

looked for it with dennisc52. he even climbed a tree. but we still couldn't locate cache.

Here with previous finder and still unable to see this one. Might require a look from the CO.

I hunted high and low for this one for too long - maybe next time

You pwned us n00bs.

We will return.

2 sets of eyes with a few finds between us. We knew what we were looking for and even paffed. Yep, we were correct. But we still felt like n00bs.

Thanks to Tk2 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Up in this area for the June LWE event
Unfortunately this cache evaded me
Next visit perhaps!
Cheers

Yep we pined for this..... especially after a DNF and TK said... "Its ..." And ELF indignantly tells Mum.... " I told you, I TOLD you!" Sigh.... Need to listen to him... he has been doing this since he was 3... a Geocaching Native- I think they call that!

Will come back when it's lighter!!!

I pined for this, however a DNF for us.

Off on a caching adventure with GoodLook on the Easter long weekend!! We had perfect weather and, for the route we were taking, surprisingly little traffic! Our target was the Cleve Cowell area althouth we started way before this. Our biggest challenge was the lack of anything open, apart from roadhouses, on the Friday and Saturday!!
Well we stopped by Grimstattos's place for a chat and suggested he join us for this hunt, He found the prize while we looked elsewhere!!! Very clever!!! Thanks Tk2 for the hide!!

Although not logged in order, I believe this is likely my 500th find!! WOO HOO!! and what a cool find it was.

We popped in on CP's lovely friend Grim to break up the drive home, have a coffee, admire all of the skulls and have a great chat. When we told him we were going to collect a few caches in the area he decided to join us - how lucky for CP and I as Grimstattoo made the find whilst we looked elsewhere and I read previous logs.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tricky and clever. I think it would almost be impossible to do at night time due to the creative container and the sneaky way it's hidden almost in plain sight. A geo-tool was required to obtain the prize.

Found whilst on a fabulous Easter long weekend caching trip with CPwanderer travelling from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula.

Our weekend has been filled with fun, laughter and lots of crazy caching adventures [:o)] [^] I loved nearly all of the interesting little tracks we travelled and the bush we 'bashed' in my 'fake' 4wd....poor CP was getting worried at times , but I was quietly confident we wouldn't get bogged! (oh and I may have had my fingers crossed at times as there was little/no phone coverage in many of the areas we visited).

The flies, ants and spiders are friendly on the Eyre Peninsula [xx(] ; CP had a close call with a death adder snake and it was hard to find anywhere but road houses to eat at due to towns effectively being closed , but CP was a perfect travel and caching companion and good passenger [^] whilst I tackled the 1500+kms of driving........sooo awesome!! I want to do it all again!! Bring on the next caching adventure!! [^]

Thanks for the cache Tk2

Great cache...very clever. Had 2 "experienced " cachers with me but they didnt find it

Couldn't find it

No luck for us today - though it was getting late and were were starting to get tired

Found on Geo check up and repair ride, with Desertfox41, Glad the handy tool was there. found it easily but tricky to sign and replace. Thanks ,

Found while on Geo maintenance ride with Demon41 , Before I had parked my bike the Demon using the Cach retrieval tool leaning against the tree had the cach in hand ! Sure beats doing our Monkey imperanation , Hardest part was getting log sheet in and out . Yours in motorcycling thanks TK2

Cool cache, very challanging and have to admit a find a friend did put me in the right direction. Tftcsl

went after this one with a dog on one arm and an extension grab in the other, found the right tree soon enough and when i saw the length of the stick used by the previous finders and spent 10 mins or so looking at hundreds of pine cones i gave up. propably too high for me as my tree climbing days are LONG over... TFTC anyhow

Left tool beside tree good luck to the future catchers. TFTC. Tor and Betsy, the travelling Westies roaming WA at present. We are from Oxenford near the Gold Coast in Queensland and thoroughly enjoying the West.

Climbed the tree to find that Geobet&tor had found it on the far reaching limb. Was pleased to have got up and down (photos taken) with only a year to my pants. Currently returning to Vic from WA in company with Geobet&tor. With thanks for the cache from Angus the great GeoWestie and his Carer who are grey (and white) nomads in our tenth year on the road.

Today we are on our way to Jamestown to be part of the show and was told there is a possible FTF up for grabs so after we finished setting up we head for our accommodation in Gladstone but we slipped past here first, of we go and set of into the pines armed with torch and GPS, we see the terrain of 2 so we focus our search just above our heads, after about 10 minutes Mrs 3LG spots something that required a bit more investigation and sure enough it turned out to be that cache, now the problem is how the hell are we going to get it ??? Mrs 3LG became my foundation and gave me support where i needed it, after acquiring more scratches and drawing more blood than i have on any of the BBB caches we had cache in hand, i even ended up with a small hole in my leg after hitting the ground from height, i am guessing it was the pen in my pocket that did the damage, after dusting myself of we got to put our name in the log, rolling the log sheet back up our stamp kept rubbing off so we had to resort to pen, i would easily call this cache a terrain 4 as you can not get it without a ladder or someone's shoulders to stand on and i would not trust that branch holding my weight, this cache was both fun and a pain in the ass to do, from now on i am not going to complain so much about BBB caches, actually i tell a lie...yes i will lol, it will be interesting how many DNFs this one is going to get Thanks for the cache and the adventure.
