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.

I came and searched for your D2.0/T1.5 Traditional today, but it didn’t reveal itself to me. Given it was an “easy find” for the last person, trigger_fish and I hoped we could avenge my previous DNF here very quickly. About 20 minutes later, we left without a smiley.

Maintenance check. Cache was still in place, not sure why there were so many DNF's here, have asked for feedback from cachers who'd found in this location and they said coords were spot on.
Regardless, have moved cache about 10m away from that location to a new spot. T&D unchanged.

Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 27.1 feet or 8.3 meters.

Existing location "too close" to residents home. Have moved approx 10m North to a different hiding place.

As per my DNF log, this one might need relocation due to the proximity to the nearby house and comments from the person who lives there today about people hovering in the bushes not far from his windows.

I came and searched for your D2.0/T1.5 Traditional today, but it didn’t reveal itself to me. I even had help from the guy who’s house is just the other side of the fence look with me for a while (he was wondering why people were hanging around outside his windows). This one might need a check by the CO, and possibly relocation further away from the house.

In hindsight, placing this cache on a deciduous tree probably wasn't the best option. Have moved to a more permanently hidden spot.

Found during a caching trip down to the southern suburbs. Did the 'Don't get zapped' series in reverse order, parking at #5 and walking under the wires to #1 before retracing my steps. Thanks for the cache Cachehunter2207!

Cache #11394
Started the day reasonably early, well for me anyway, with a list of 20 to find. First was a wherigo and finished with a multi, with mainly newish puzzles and trads in between. Was quite happy getting home just after dark with all but one found and two extras as well.
Sorry about the template logs but such is life in the fast lane.
Quickly spotted, once I had the right tree.
Thanks to Cachehunter2207 for putting out this cache for us all to find.

Went out caching today around Flagstaff Hill, Happy Valley and Aberfoyle Park to pick up a few extra smiley faces for my map.

I've been eyeing off this area for a while.

After a quick lap around I eventually made the find.

I didn't realise the wires make that much noise, I don't find myself standing under electric wires too often to have known, but you learn something new everyday.

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache.

Thanks to Cachehunter2207 for this cache.

So much serenity... Listen for the sound of 275kV crackling in the ether.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

I had been out doing chores this morning and decided to make a short detour to come and find these three new caches before I headed home. [^]

Took me a couple of circuits of the tree before I spotted the cache. Big Grin

Silver for the we're dunn4 crew.
Nice to see some new caches within walking distance from home - so after dinner we put the geodogs on their leashes and walked to these caches on a pleasant evening with a spot of rain falling.
Accurate coords for this one too, took a minute to spot it and then signed the log. Thanks Cachehunter!
