7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

The fence work has been finish and I'm looking into the replacement of the cache but am unable to replace it right now because of the new Covid Restrictions. Stay home, Stay safe.

Muggle partner has recovered really well from yesterday's eye surgery[:X]
So Rex and I, after an afternoon at the beach, then a late evening nana nap followed by tea, are now heading home[|)][^]
Said our goodbyes, pulled around the corner[^] and then sat in the Corolla looking at caches nearby[^]
Solved a simple puzzle, saw a years old prior DNF and decided I had energy enough to try for them both[^]
3 caches found then the drive back north[|)][|)]

Saw this on the GPSr as I drove home and decided that 10.30pm is a good time to try and find a cache here[^] with many less muggles around[^]
We walked over and I had my hand on the cache in the 3rd place that I put that hand [^]
No dripping now as the rain has stopped today but there was a nano cache found

This evening, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I headed south to Old Noarlunga to target the new Adventure Lab. After Old Noarlunga, we visited Onkaparinga River Recreation Park, Noarlunga, and then dropped by Marion and Glenelg. The evening wasn't looking too good weather wise, but we thought we would still chance it. Before dinner wasn't too bad, but after dinner, heavy rain fell, so we somewhat cut short our plans.

Although this had been disabled due to access, we decided to call past today to see if the situation had changed. We managed to walk through the fence in an area that we actually thought we could be, but as it turned out, it just must have been where construction workers entered (we honestly didn't see any signs to tell us otherwise). As it was late, there were not many muggles around, so we decided to head up to GZ to see if we could locate the cache. Some nice murals, but we did have a fair amount of trouble trying to find the cache. A PAF was made, and some half-memory tips and comments were provided, but still not enough to zero down to its hide location. We continued to search, and as I was looking at something, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) made the find on a similar structure nearby. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Ratbag 1 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. I was sure glad to have crossed this cache off my find list this evening.

We saw this was disabled but still managed to get to GZ, without much luck a PAF was called and a rejig of the memory was needed. Finally after thought the little bastard was found. Cache is all good

This evening Davidwazza and I headed south to do the new adventure labs followed by some caches in the area, the rain hit us and we changed our plan and finished off doing some labs south west of the city
13 finds plus 11 labs
Thanks for the cache

I checked this yesterday and there is a big ol' fence in the way. Therefore I will disable until further notice.

Couldn't find it

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Gz is still fenced off and not accessible

Fenced off can’t access due to construction

Looked everywhere could not find it

Have looked for this several times before but not had any luck. Today re read the description and started there and found in a minute. Still muggles around even in time of quarantine. TFTC

Feel like we were looking in the correct place however have a feeling that it may have been lost in this spot however would love to be proven wrong

Getting in some caching before the inevitable lockdown.

No-one around early in the morning.

Cleaning the cache map, one day at a time...
Dripping... good to cook in
Ohhhh a mural, maybe the paint dripped.
Whatever plaque was on that post was missing,
but the picture was pretty.
After going where the GPS led, past some temp fencing, realised it may be higher up after all.
Quick find once in the right place and the crowds had passed.

Tftc. Lots of muggles around

Found it after a look look around

A good time to get this geo on a public holiday no people at all around. Good little hide. The mural is great to look at. Tftc

Lovely spot love the mural.....

Had to look ultra casual and 'oh i have something in my shoe' whilst wearing thongs......Awesome mural quick find whilst doing a spot of shopping. Tftc

Quick little cache on my way to the gym. Been meaning to get this one for a while now and today's a dawdling type of day. Thanks for the cache!

Found after wandering around the mall. TFTH

Did the maintenance ages ago just getting rid of the icon

Found It!
This place is a ghost town on New Years Eve so after a bit of looking around I soon found the cache. Cue the nano rant...
TFTC

Found!! On a nice quiet evening I was able to search the area without interruption. TFTC

Didn't take too long. Well hidden

Nice little cache after my shopping


Visiting this one

FIND #1

Doing mum duties today... the construction work does not affect anything and the cache is exactly where it should be.

Found it on 24/10/19

DNF

DNF however if the cache is in the downstairs area (not near the plaque) it is currently inaccessible due to construction

Finally found this slippery little sucker! This has been our nemesis cache and was one of our first DNFs. After 5 minutes of searching, we found this one relatively easily now that we knew the sorts of things to look for. Thanks for maintaining the cache Ratbag 1 even though it is in a high muggle area. TFTC

FINALLY FOUND YA LIL GUY!!!!!

Found after some great hints from the CO!

I have attempted this cache 17 times before but I have never been able to spot it

TFTC

Found it!! Very sneaky

Found but high muggle activity

Wed looked everywhere but did not find

Hid it a week or two ago but forgot to enable it.

I had a look to see if it is there, it is not. I will replace it soon hopefully.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Needs maintenence

Good painting but is it actully there?
Hard to find cache

Couldn't find this one?

I came with my daddy as we were doing some easter shopping. I looked for about 5 minutes and dad pointed to where he found it. Couldnt see anything and then dad tried and nothing as there

Not here and no cache

Not here and no cache

Lots of muggles around at 9 AM. Not at good time to look!

Muggle paradise. Strategic drop of the sunnies and the cache was in hand. TFTC Ratbag. Caching with CrackedChelle

Just a needed replacement.

Hi Ratbag1... sorry, but it’s missing. Luv Mum.

Found out that it was missing this afternoon. Will be replaced ASAP.

Found location that others hinted at but could not find cache after half an hour of looking. Fun anyway. Nice mural.

i went to the nearby ATM machine and got money. I knew there was a cache somewhere around here so i opened the phone. A lot closer then i expected. Walked over and had a quick look. Stamped the log. Took a photo of the mural. That wasn't there last time i was here. There was no shoppers after hours on a Saturday. I'll pass on the nano rant since anything bigger will go missing.

Started too low but then went to the correct level. Searched in the most obvious spot but came up blank, kept looking and found it. Waited for a break in the passing muggles and then signed the log.

Visiting the Theatre for the Grandkid’s dance concert. Time for a quick find!

Insert nano rant

Quick find while out shopping. No muggles around this morning.
Thanks Ratbag 1.

Such a beautiful spot hidden away by the shops, I never knew this art work was here. TFTC!

Now that is a nice hide. Down south for a bit for a presentation so could sneak a couple of finds in. Love your work.

Thanks to Ratbag 1 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Down in the deep southern lands today attending an education seminar. A quick lunch time find. TFTC

Nice! Just started so I haven't seen one of these yet! Pretty cool. TFTC

Very clever hide...designed for mice...

Found it with the geokids while having a few minutes to kill. TFTC

Wow awsome find at 2 am lol

How cute is that! What a great hide! Thanks for the cache!

Sarah and Warren

Found while out and about in the Southern Suburbs with CPwanderer on this perfect Spring day...
What a great Mural...it was all quiet on this Sunday evening after everyone had left for the day...
We first had to work out if we were up or down...
I went up to photograph the Mural...
TFTC Ratbag1 for bringing us here

A favourite for bringing myself and hevwalker to a place I didn't know existed!!! Found after closing time on a Sunday so all was quiet!! Thanks Ratbag1 for the hide!!

Found it sneakily hidden away from where I expected it would be on approach! GPS lock was a bit difficult with all the buildings! Don’t know if it’s any better using something other than a phone!

Thanks for the cache, great first cache!

Log edited to insert nano rant as I forgot about the nano rant challenge! Damn nanos! Stop killing the kittens!

Stopped by and visited June. A mural I wouldn’t have known was here if not for the cache. Thanks for bringing me here.

However : [Insert Nano Rant Here]

Thanks for the cache Ratbag 1. Well done on your first one.

Took a while but we got there. Was in the third place I looked, the second time. Tftc

Took awhile to work around to the right position to find this one - originally at the wrong level, then near the wrong plaque . Not sure if the GPS was playing up or the satellite signal was bouncing off the walls [?].
Once GZ was found, a quick find (not many muggles around today) . TNLNSL.
Wonder how many locals know this is here .
Thanks Ratbag 1.

To the CO:

Dripping was something my mother (your grandmother) used to use to cook a roast. At some point at the beginning of time, some melted fat was collected from some animal, and left to solidify. This was kept in the fridge until the next time a roast was cooked. Then once the roast was cooked, the fat from that particular piece of meat was drained off into a bowl before the gravy was made, and it was called ‘dripping’. It was kept in the bowl in the fridge until the next roast... then the new dripping was collected again at the end of the roasting process, and so on and so forth. She stopped doing it when I was about your age because she suddenly decided it was a bad idea.

Dripping goes very well with bread, apparently. You can have mine.... [xx(]

Ohhh hang on. You were talking about the mural!

(Mum jokes are worse than dad jokes, aren’t they?)

I was the beta-tester on this one I am slightly terrified of the CO’s future caches - they might take us to beautiful places like this, or they could be devious little D3+ caches that take several hours and attempts to find.... or both! [8)] Can’t wait, though, so hurry up and get your next one out. You know how to do it all by yourself, now [^]

After working for 4 hours within 250m of this cache it was time find the little sucker. Nice art.

I thought I would go out for a couple of hours this afternoon to collect some of my close to home unfound caches. [^]

This one was my closest and it is a very long time since I have been to this part of Colonnades and I never knew this mural was there.

My GPSr was having a hissy fit and taking me all over the place before it settled down. Eventually the cache was found in a very logical spot. Then I had to wait for a few muggles to move on before I could replace it.

Thanks for the cache Ratbag 1 and congratulations on your first hide.

*STF* on my way into do some shopping. Quick find. Nice artwork. TFTC

What a great mural! If not for geocaching I would not have seen it!
Muggle central here this morn.
Found easily, about 7m to the left, in plain sight. So Rod really must be blind!
TNLNSL
Thanks and 3TF

I had been to the bowling center for some pre-bowling for the league I bowl in. I ‘m heading back to New Zealand to spend time with my mother so will miss the next 3 weeks.
I saw this was published and was excited to see Ratbag 1 had hidden his first cache. It certainly is muggly wuggly! I enjoyed studying the mural while I waited for a break in the pedestrians.
I wouldn’t have known that this was here if you hadn’t placed a cache here and congratulations on your first hide. May there be many more.

The hide was too good today or may be it was cache blindness

Still there

Yay. FTF for me

Beautiful Art.

Thanks Ratbag 1 for the cache
