Stumped... Crestwood, New South Wales, Australia
By sspack on 19-May-07. Waypoint GC130KD

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.

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.

Since I was nearby looking for caches, thought I'd check in on this one.
Yep, it's gone.

CO attention required.

Met two cachers who were looking for it & broke the bad news - at least they had looked in the right spot.

18/04/14. 7:35 AM. Up nice and early for some caching around the Hills; this one was my only DNF among 6 finds this morning. I was pretty confident which side of the creek to be on and which stump to go for; even though I ended up widening my search to various other stumps, I kept going back to this one. Two of the last three finders had either moved the cache to a more likely spot and/or added more camo; this always has me wondering if a bit of cache creep over the years hasn't moved it away from where the phone was leading me. After 20 minutes, I gave up. Sent an EAF to Hade, but then continued caching over at Our Creek.

[Hade later confirmed it was the stump I'd been looking at, and a spot I had thoroughly checked, in fact it was meant to be in an area that I had swept bare with a stick. So I'm wondering if it is still there now.]

#541 (2 of 2 today) (Streak day 107)

After shopping nearby in Castle Hill, looked for a cache to grab and decided on this one.

Arrived at the park and wandered around looking for the path to the cache. Managed to go the wrong way first up.
Got to one location and had a cursory glance - nothing. iPhone was giving me conflicting spots, one of which seemed to fit. Crossed the stream.

Seemed like almost every step brought me to another cobweb.
Checked out this spot, but couldn't find anything. Crossed back again.

Decided to have a closer look at the first spot I examined. Nothing... except the cache sitting in the open lightly covered with foliage. Don;'t think that's the right spot.

Completed signing duties and rehid in the spot I think it should be - only 1 metre from where I found it.

Thanks For The Cache, full log to follow.

Quick find once you establish which side of the creek to be on TFTC

Found this cache as the last stop on a walk through from Crestwood Reserve.

At first we found ourselves on the wrong side of the creek, so had to do some back tracking to reach GZ. Once at GZ the cache was found instantly as it was quite exposed. After signing the log, I returned the cache in a more concealed manner and added some natural cammo to better reflect the 2 star difficulty rating.

Tftc nice hide

It's impossible

It's impossible

Today we went to the hillsong church and afterwards we went for a caching trip. Thanks for hidding. Nice park. Greatings from Germany.

Found a week ago at 1am. Hard to find in the dark without shoes #ouchies

Found it. Thanks! I think the neighbours were a bit suspicious.

Found this one pretty quickly. Tia about annoying to get to though...

Great cache and quick find!!!

On our way to this cache we saw trees dropping seeds, very pretty and looked like it was snowing As already mentioned, there is one VERY wet log book and a dry one. This cache needs maintenance. Took a frog toy, and left a drink tab chain. TFTC.

Thanks for the easy find to add to our holiday fun!

This cache is very wet and smells musty! Tipped water out, there is one VERY wet log book and a dry one.

Finally found this one after searching what seemed like 10 stumps in the area.

Last one for the day, thanks for the cache!

Day 20 of 31 Days of Geocaching.
Visiting area again today after noticing I haven't cleared this yet. Found swiftly and was glad that there was no one about given weekday find. Signed log. Cache had moisture collected in the bottom that I tipped out and replaced. TFTC.

TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity.

found this as part of a set of three in Castle Hill on the same day. TFTC

Still wet!
Wear sturdy shoes and long pants for this one - lots of prickly weeds about.

This cache is still very wet. Everything totally soaked when we found it. Left a new log in zip lock container, but everything needs drying out, and maybe replacing the container considering so much water has been able to get in.

Another pleasant public space that most of us (who don't live nearby) would otherwise never find! Unfortunately the cache was completely full of water, and the log book totally soaked. Emptied water, left a new log book in zip-lock bag. TFTC

Found it! Cache was full of water, so we emptied it out. Needs a bit more maintenance, but otherwise TFTC!

Easy find once I went to the right side of the creek. Log book is very wet! TFTC!

Nice easy find - will need some serious maintenance ASAP as everything is soaked inside. TNLNSL / TFTC

Wasn't difficult to find as cache was left out in the open on the cachers trail. Log book is totally saturated and moldy, time for a new one. I returned the cache to the stump but out of view of Muggles, cachers won't have problem with it. SL #894 on streak day #362 TFTC

Contents very wet. Nice scramble from wrong side if creek.

All very wet.

Another successful find with paulmccaffrey and Gerard321

With clmcc and paulmccaffrey again..!!

Nice quiet spot. Cache logbook is too wet to sign. Maintenance needed.

Just found it then. The logbook is very damp, and the pen for signing it also seems to be missing. I used one of the coloured pencils to write my log, but it too was so damp that it dissolved when I attempted to write with it!

We left a vegetable peeler that my son found as we forraged around for the cache (after he was adament that the cache was somewhere about 5m east of the proper location!)

Found by imgettingannoyed and Alex Mclellan as part of the Scouts Australia geocaching competition

Found with imgettingannoyed

Approaches from the right side of the creek and cache was a quick find

Cache contents are wet. Log book is wet and mouldy. Needs a little bit of TLC

Needing a quick find to keep the streak going was nearby and grabbed this. Cache is wet and needs some tlc. TFTC

Streak day 116 #1069

Made it a harder terrain than necessary because I approached it from the wrong side of the little creek. So bashed to somewhere that looked suspicious from afar but turned out to be off and not GZ after all. Looked around and spotted another suspicious object, that was it! Still found some scattered items on the ground, now all safe back in the cache container.

nice cache, but the box was open, when I found it and the whole box was wet. I tried to fix it, but the logbook is ruined --> need some maintenance!
Greetings from Germany =)

Was just about to dnf given up hope when I spy the correct log with cache hidden under it. Tftc

TFTC found with sneffi92 & DJTROY

TFTC

found with sneffi92 and LGP2013.

I wondered if the people in their backyards wondered why people wander here, but they didn't seem interested in my arrival. Found nice and dry. Thanks.

The first find of a number along the Baulkham Hills Heritage Walk today. Found quickly after I guessed the correct side of the creek to make for. SL TFTC

Easy find
Tftc

Nice and easy find on our day caching with Adacache. TFTC.

Well bug-ger me! We couldn't find it.

I was gonna put my Pears magnet in there but must have left if at home. Next time I say, next time. Thanks for the cache Spacca. : )

Found it on a perfect spring sunday. We spent too much time looking at the wrong stump but once we had another look at the gps we focused on the correct one and found the cache quickly. TFTC

This area would be a snake haven, so we were a little cautious, TFTC

Easy grab while on a cache hunt in the area. SL..TFTC

TFTC!

last find of the day TFTC

Sent geoson in for the find. Taken the travel bug with us

quick find left TB

Needing another find for the day we saw this was close. We came in from the top side and crossed the creek at the causeway (the creek did not look that health as it was green). We continued on the edge of the bush only to have the GPSr do a hard right and we found ourselves up for another creek crossing. We thought we could see GZ from about 40m out but had the wrong feature. Once at the right feature we soon made a quick find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TN LN TFTC.

Found by Nanny and Bo on an overcast Monday afternoon.
A delightful bush setting. Well worth the visit.
Signed log.
Took nothing and left nothing.
Thanks for the cache.

Lovely day for a walk around the parks in the area. TFTC!

Another park in the local area I knew nothing about. TFTC

Cache in good order nice and dry.

Just arrived last night in Baulkham hills. A quick find on a morning walk. TFTC

GeoKids found this after quickly locating this small stump. TFTC

TFTC. Grabbed bug

We arrived close to GZ and spotted something, no cache, spotted another good hiding place and nothing.

We looked deeper and spotted another place and made the grab.

Exchanged TB's

Found and placed TB

I did this hard way, parked and walked in the general direction then discovered I had crossed the creek and did not need to. Found a few stumps along the way but none appeared to be the hide so kept looking and soon spotted the likely target and then it was all over bar the signing. Got a fee cuts from the Lantana on the way in and walked into a spider web on the way out.

Didn't read the previous log,was looking at the wrong stump then I eventually found it. TFTC

saw the stump from a long way off... ran for it... looked high and low but could not locate... re checked the GPS then realised we were at the wrong stump.. re corrected and had the cache in moments...

Found it today on an 8 hour caching spree with club_bindi and JYGE.
Nice hide. TFTC.

Nice spot and after so many finds without a TB, it was good to get one with mrryanmurray and club_bindi. Thankyou.

~Helping "Greetings from Colarodo II" on it's way. Handsome little travel bug!

A tricky cache with a leap of faith at the end!

Missed it last time, happy now

Managed to avoid the lantana aound this one.

TFTC.

Took a bit of stumping around, but eventually found it. Left a Travel Bug behind. TFTC

2 of us spent 2 days trying couldn't find it.

11.10am, GAFF2, a nice quick find this morning by Geoson.

Took Bullwinkle TB, SL.

Cache in good condition.

TFTC feral five

Found with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi and Rebel Acts on our Sydney caching weekend.
It was approaching dark as we reached GZ but that wasn't stopping us.
TFTC

A quick find with Gunnie69, Ghostgums, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker, Rebel Acts as the sun sank slowly in the western sky....

Drifted into GZ on the dimming light then resorted to torches to make the final snatch..

Cache was quickly located & log signed

Thanks feral five

This was, cache # 46 of 59 finds for the day, On our first day of the MCBC raid on Sydney. Thankfully we chose the right side of the creek and th cache was soon in hand. My thanks to sspack for the cache.

A quick find as the sun was setting on a long caching day, well the night to go!

Found while spending an enjoyable weekend finding caches around Sydney with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker and Rebel Acts.

TFTC

The sun was trying hard to provide the last of it's illumination as a group of us headed inbound for this one. It was struggling though...

We followed the path and had a quick check on the GPS maps to identify which side of the creek we needed to be on... Aha, this side, let's go... [^]

A short walk behind the houses and we were at GZ before we knew it. Out with the torches just in case but there was no need as the cache was spotted quickly on arrival...

Cheers feral five.

Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.

A quick find after we'd decided on a side. TFTC

After first starting to head to the wrong side of the creek, we quickly backtracked and stayed to the correct side, which made it a nice easy walk to GZ. Although my GPS wanted me to walk a bit further, the obvious hide beckoned and sure enough, one cache. TFTC! =^.^=
#2057

Found at 2.45pm GAFF5 in the company of Blackie_71 and Browngang. Experienced a bit of an overshoot while heading to this cache (thought the location was too obvious ), but the other guys went straight to it. Wish the Geotalk Podcast CD was still there!
Thanks feral five.

Found before caching extravaganza with holyman54. We did a lot and have had to log a few over the course of the weekend
