Logs

18-Jun-14
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.

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.

Some has taken this one Sad

This is not here anymore someone has taken it

As the original owner, I'm pretty amazed it lasted as long as it did.CoolCoolCoolCool
(7 years - not bad for what some would term a risky hide, especially in light of 911)
However,looking at all the DNF logs, it seems apparent that it should be put to rest.
I hope the new owner can confirm it's missing status, and archive it, so that someone else can use this awesome spot to hide a new cache.....
Happy Hunting.......RazzRazz

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 page and post a 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.

Is long gone Sad the CO can mark this as MIA by visiting the coins home page Smile it only takes a few seconds to do!
 
17-Nov-13
I wasn't sure whether to log this as a find or DNF as according to GPS and reading the clue, which makes the location pretty obvious, we had the right spot, but could not find the cache. So after reading some of the other logs, we went in search of the original hide and found the original container, but all it contained was some dirt and dried up millipedes..TFTC
 
28-Oct-13
Gps sent wrong way but found, nothing in it...
 
23-Oct-13
I hid this one in 2007, and had to replace it only once, due to the other one being lost/MIA.
It seems you found the original.
But the new hidey hole hasn't been a problem for quite a few years now- stealth is part of the game after all. Cool

OK thats weird! I'm driving Auzzie convict around getting some caches that I've already found and we do this one Smile I pull up and say its just around the bushes and Auzzie says it can't be its 23 meters away?I say Nah thats were it is! the bush near the bench! We check the hint and it made no sense to where I was sitting in the car so I got out to see if I can find the cache! I find it out in the open lid off and no contents Sad I replace the cache under the bush where I found it 6yrs ago lol We then decided to follow Auzzies GPS and then the hint makes sense Smile however we only had a quick search and found no cache! Now the dilemma ........... was that the real cache discarded in the wrong location? was that an old cache? was the hint not valid anymore? Nothing made sense until I got home and was able to read the logs for the past 6yrs lol THERE HAS BEEN TWO CACHES THERE SINCE 18/8/2007! hahahahh I actually revisited the old cache after it was replaced to do a coin swap so god knows what happened to the trackable lol If I'd know that there were two caches I'd have removed the old cache container to save any more confusion Sad
 
22-Oct-13
need to remove the original cache under the bush or reinstate it there away from the building itself because lets be honest having a cache on an actual air control tower aint a great idea Sad

An easy find, (thanks to the clue) - walked straight up to it! Signed the log around the corner and then nearly got busted returning it by a muggle pilot who literally came flying out the nearby door! I had to wait till his back was turned getting into his car before quickly returning it to it’s hiding spot and beating a hasty retreat. Thanks for the cache in an interesting location! Stopped on the way out to watch the baby bunnies – so cute! Rabbits were running everywhere, even on the pedestrian crossing! TNLN SL.

Thanks.

Needed a cache for May the first and this one was close. It's 11:17pm I almost didn't make it. My drive to finish the calendar this year prevailed an I took advantage of the opportunity to find it. Saw the Cottontail residents -- I guess their natural predators don't like the planes. Cool spot and good hint thanks!

We did a bit of cruising around the Salisbury area today and picked up a few caches. Would have liked to have stopped a while and watch the planes land and take off. TFTC TNLN SL
