Logs

26-Aug-15
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.As there has been no response to the previous note I'm archiving this cache to stop it from showing up in my reviewer searches and new placement checks.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache if you have not already done so. We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

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.

It seems that this cache may have gone to god!
We hope not, maybe the cache owner might check this one.
 
06-Mar-13
Suscoe had no luck here, second visit, had not read the recent logs.

20-Jan-13
Another neat cache, really enjoyed this one, Found while venturing further afield from the BLE in Nelson.
Many thanks for the cool hide.
 
20-Jan-13
#3550 We were really quite impressed with this little alley way. The GeoPrincess was mightily impressed with the stone steps that had been worn away. We knew that the GPSr's were going to be a little creative given the buildings around so we relied on caching strategy and the cache was soon found nicely tucked away. Thanks for the well placed cache The Rizzos, we'd be very surprised if this ever went walk-about. Love the history too. Cheers [^]
 
19-Jan-13
Saturday at BLE and Dennisc52 and I set off to have a boat ride Cool, then start our day's caching [^]
We got a tad sidetracked by hunting for a gas fitting for a stove Surprised and so ended up in Mt Gambier, where we eventually managed to get a few caches [^] Big Grin
Back to Nelson for tea, then we headed out with firesafe, Honeysucker and Huurtle for some night caching [^] Big Grin before the first two headed to their respective sleeping spot and we other three headed back to Nelson [|)]

I attempted to locus cache at 23 caches and only had 1 DNF so that meant 22 smiley faces Smile

A lovely spot and a sneaky hide! On a bright day, that cache is difficult to see so luckily there were very few muggles to watch us as we retrieved and replaced it! Lovely old buildings Cool

SL. TFTC The Rizzos Smile

Joined up with J+J.au...Caching the area while attending the "Big Little Event", really enjoying the trip, company and the great locations the caching is showing us. We are having lots of laughs and collecting quite a lot of caches this week. SL..TFTC
 
19-Jan-13
This one took a while to locate, got there eventually. At least there wasent any muggles about. TFTC
 
19-Jan-13
Found with Locus Cache while attending the BLE at Nelson. TFTC
 
16-Jan-13
Found at 11:17 AM GAFF3 in the company of Phetlern. Loved the information about the building and it is good to see that it is being recycled and providing lots of entertainment to today's people.
This took us a while to find - mainly because we thought that a Terrain of 1.5 wouldn't mean getting down there in amongst it all. We eventually spotted it when we looked from a different angle than we did on arrival.
Thanks The Rizzos

In company with the Pprass team, we spent an enjoyable day, caching around Mt Gambier.
What a fascinating old building, which led us to a convoluted search before P-Pprass returned to where we had started and looked from the elusive different angle.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt The Rizzos.

We came by here earlier in the day but from a distance thought the cache was hidden on the wooden outside drinking areas, which were all in use. However only when we used the compass to find the exact spot did we discover the true hiding place. TFTC.
 
26-Dec-12
A couple of cachers caught us in the act at this one, extra eyes and a new perspective helped a lot, we had it in hand in no time. sl tftc
 
26-Dec-12
Found with current locals while visiting home, good fun, tftc

25-Dec-12
Took a few goes but going in the day time made it a lot easier
 
24-Dec-12
Too many muggles for us to spend much time looking.
 
23-Dec-12
Spoke with very person from dance school who came out when myself and the pup where loitering. Apparently she has had about four people come in , not being able to find it. Next time...

Really liked this one, was glad it was Easter and there was no one around! Would be very interesting if it was most other days this one would be quite a challenge! Thanks! Smile
 
02-Apr-12
Found it with the help of friend Goshaz! A tricky one, dancing muggles a bit hard to escape!
 
28-Jan-12
There was a muggle painting around the area of GZ, so had to give this one a miss today [8)].

02-Jan-12
Even with a fairly explicit hint from a previous finder I had no luck. It was very hot so I didn't spend too long looking. Will bring my son back to help and hopefully we will snag it.
 
21-Nov-11
A very well hidden cache however I found it after about 10 minutes of searching thanks to the hint. Always mugglers nearby and I was viewed on suspiciously by a business owner but actual site was clear. My GPS also went a little crazy near GZ. Thanks and cheers.
 
18-Nov-11
Bugger [:(!] Wish we could come back for another try.
 
13-Nov-11
Will try again another day
 
02-Nov-11
A drizzling day to do caching today...luckily no muggles around...searched a while before Mr Bushies2 finally found it. Thanks The Rizzos.
 
13-Jul-11
DNF - had a half hearted attempt whilst Geowife was having a script filled at the chemist nearby.

Hope that if we return we have better luck next time.

Nevertheless thanks for the cache The Rizzos!

My third find of the day and one I am very happy to have finally found.
Turned and muggle free great start, looked on the opposite side to which I previously looked and hey presto, there's the cache, great finish. Finally this one's crossed off.
Nice hide Rizzos
 
15-Mar-11
Our GPS really did not like this location. All those closed in buildings and timber. We gave it a good go but felt a bit vulnerable on a Tuesday morning. Couldn't tell whether anyone was already at the dance studio so decided this one needed to be left for a different time of the day. Perhaps next time we are in the Mount.
 
15-Mar-11
Have been here so many times & was looking in the wrong spot the whole time, with a little help on what side it was actually on I was able too find. Awesome hide, TFTC Smile
 
13-Mar-11
Have tried to look here a few time but pesky muggles always around. Second real good look at night and about to give up and spied in torch light. Clever hide, enjoyed the challenge of this high muggle traffic area. TFTC
 
06-Mar-11
after 3 or visits here we were able to log this one no one aroundtoday and a stealthy grab was made
 
26-Dec-10
A very quiet boxing day evening that gave us plenty of opportunity to search quietly. However it wasn't meant to be this time.....
 
28-Nov-10
After about 15 or so attempts I finally found this place muggle free and had proper attempt at locating this micro, disappointingly though I couldn't locate it.
 
22-Nov-10

 
08-Aug-10
Should be a didn't look.
Lots of girls going into and out from dance classes meant that I just walked away.
 
26-Jun-10
Nice spot for the cache.

Thanks for the cache, when I went for my drivers licence in bygone years we had to do a handbrake stop and start here. nice hide
 
28-Apr-10
Had a geodads look until a more serious seach gave us the prize. Good hide. TFTC SL
 
31-Jan-10
Youngest Geoson made a quick find and had the cache in hand before I even got close to GZ.
He then took great pleasure in showing me it's hiding spot.
Sneaky hide. TFTC.
