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 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 listing and post a new 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's a sad face for us like the last few people before us.

Couldn't find this time. We will try again another time. Tftc HouseofJones

Lovely here

Hunted and hunted around all the trees including around the stump. No cache. According to previous logs it was broken and waterlogged.
Nice spot, though.

Not sure if water damaged or lost as the terrain is quite messed up. Thankyou tho good location

Found it but the container is broken.

Container perished and log soaked

Thanks for the cache found with Webberg

Tftc! Found with conardel

Doing this series with brisal5, Astro & FeatherWaite today
All logs signed as B.A.W.F.
Good co-ords, nice containers & easy finds make for a great day
Thanks for placing these caches, well done.

GENERIC LOGS FOR PATOG series! [8)][8)][8)]

Time to attack the PATOG series. [^] So the calls were made to find a group to take on the ride and a group of brisal5, Astro, WhiteDogGang and Featherwaite were available. So the acronym BAWF was formed to sign the logs. We chose Tuesday 8/6/2021 to make the ride but the forecast of a thunderstorm, continuous rain and howling winds caused the newly formed BAWF to balk and we delayed until Friday 11/6/21! [B)][B)] What a great day for a ride, overcast, a nice cool breeze and not a drop of rain to be felt. All caches were found in good condition except, one that needed a new cap (done) and one that needed replacing. (also done) Great day had but I felt like BAWFing by the end! [:o)][:o)][:o)][:o)]

This was the ring in along the way. I needed this one so a quick diversion was made and then a quick find was made also.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks calumphing_four for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

Today after work I headed to Globe Derby again to pick up 4 caches on a circular walk. I had forgotten how pesky the mozzies are around here!
All 4 caches found and the walk was very enjoyable. TFTC

Found at 9:18 on a perfect cycling day with Shonkylogic.

Thanks for the hide

Out for a long bike ride with Uni and Medusa along the Northen Expressway and beyond. We parked a vehicle at each end and took the mountain bikes along the trails - 48.9kms and 115 caches in around 5 hours.
The bike trail allows one to see a lot more at 20kmh than whizzing past in a car at 110kmh. There is interesting WWII history in amongst the market gardens and salt flats. I really enjoyed the massive redgums and lushness around the Gawler River. On a hot day one would want to take plenty of water, there isn't a lot of shade or facilities along some of the stretches.
This cache was found at 9:22:00 AM and was 34 of 116 finds today.
Thanks calumphing_four

Found while doing the new PATOG series. A group of us did the whole lot plus a few extras along the way in approximately 5 hours. TFTC The Calumphing Four

You can head your horse to water and you can also lead a cacher to a cache. nice to find something bigger than a micro for a change. cache fine.
Out with Tallbikestan, allister w, JJ52, azzo and mogni. Todays target was to do all of the PATOG Series using bikes or power assisted bikes. Getting dropped off at one end and getting picked up at the other end. The only problem we had was the one cache that needed a ladder, Tallbikestan's bike was just too short by about 1/2 foot. Easy found with the ladder deployed. i never got to complete the last bike trail, i only ended up finding about 11 of them. We even had a lunch break about 3/4 down the trail. A fun but tiring day out. All logs stamped as mystery randoms.

All caches signed as Mystery Randoms

Awesome day out riding bikes with allister w, sir_spectre, tallbikestan, JJ52 and mogni!

Found out riding with my tallbike with some friends

A big day out with sir_spectre, Allister W, JJ52, tallbikestan and azzo (and his Dad). Today we tackled the PATOG series and all caches were found, only a couple took more than a few seconds. This was a bonus find along the way.
Thanks to calumphing_four from mogni

Thanks for the cache Calumphing Four. I was out on a mission to achieve the 111 PATOG's and this one was just the ticket for a side find. A nice wander along the embankment with plenty of water in all the ponds nearby. The cache was found in good condition, and I grabbed the TB to continue it on its journey.

Out far further than i should be on my Deadly Treadly on this warm day after grabbing a solved Puzzle a bit earlier, there weren't too many green boxes on my map to grab so this one was grabbed, signed at 10:38 on Wednesday 20 January 2021.

Getting a bit dry here. The horse would have to go right out to the middle almost [:o]

All is good and dry within the cache....... {discovered the tb}.

Now for the journey back to Richmond 5033, sigh

Found by The Boofs while out on a walk TFTC

My first time here, an interesting walk from the parking waypoint, I guess it would have been nicer before the freeway went in. Dropped a TB. TFTC.

Found!

Woo

This morning I decided to head north and collect a few caches around Salisbury/paralowie area. Made the nice walk around to this one, cache was easily found and is all good

Easy to find

It is flooded

Found it through it was flooded over

Wet

This evening with looming COVID-19 lockdown impacts growing closer every day, I was still determined to head out for some fitness whilst we still had the freedoms. Hence, I planned some running about a few of Salisbury's wetlands along some of the running/cycling tracks. There were a few geocaches along the way that hadn't been found in quite some time, which also decreased any risk of COVID-19 transmission. A nice few nice areas that I would not have known about otherwise.

This was a pretty little area to jog around with, and there was a bit of birdlife around on the lake, like a group of pelicans. It was also nice jogging past the horses in the paddocks around too. Once I arrived at GZ, it wasn't long before I spotted the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks The Calumphing Four for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I had a quick look at the Rock Quest waypoint on my return, but alas, the Berocca tube still remains hidden away there.

Kids having a ball still very new to this loving it

Tftc

Lots of fallen bark and weeds

#TFTC Great find had a nice walk with the puppy

A beautiful walk. Found just as battery was on 1%

TFTC

My son loved finding this cache was hidden very well! TFTC!

Found it on a beautiful horse trail ride!!

Tftc took trackable and moving it on its adventure

Nice walk, took awhile to find the cache, trees were playing havoc with the GPS.
Used this cache as a place to launch our Treasure X trackable, hope he travels far and wide
Got to pat a friendly horse on our way back to the car.
TFTC

Wonkelfonkels ! Strike again 16/6/18

TFTC

A quick trip out to drop off a Trackable and do some other caches on the bike.

Last one for the day. TNLNSL TFTC

Quick find. Tftc

Found with Wal & Ol on a beaut Sunday bike ride. TFTC!

Found on a sunny Sunday bike ride with Pony1966. You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead! TFTC

Tftc

Gotcha!

Before heading up the LPT trail I thought I would stop by here and give the local mozzies a feed.

Thanks C4

Oh dear we are getting eaten

Great day out with a lovely view

Lots of trees, lots of mosquitos. Tftc.....

Found with LadyLoene, RopeNut and rogerrabbit04 TFTC

Fortunately our rides dont need water but if they did this would be a nice spot to sit and let them drink.
Tftc

We were in the vicinity picking up some caches and decided to try and find this one on the way back to the car. Sat lock was pretty bad near GZ and the GPSr had us going all over the place. In the end the hint really helped and the cache was located. After checking for muggles, the log was signed and all was tucked away before continuing on the car after a pretty successful morning. No horses were seen, but there was a pelican nearby.

Thanks calumphing_four, nice spot!

TFTC, SL.

I saw an 'orse nearby on me bike ride
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of water around today
Plenty of ducks and the occasional ibis and egret too !!

A short walk from the bike parking spot,
lead me to the cache
TFTC !!

What a lovely spot to sit & enjoy all the wetlands fauna. It's full of water, though a bit cold & windy still beautiful. Thank you McKee clan TFTC

TFTC

The bird life is prolific now there is plenty of water in the system and lots of birds were seen today. Thanks Mckee Clan for another one. Nice lunchtime outing today from work for me.

Out walking the Little Para trail with CPwanderer & GoodLook on this drizzly morning...
The water level was quite high & we were concerned about the fate of this cache but all good & dry...TFTC calumphing four

This was not such a quick find for us, but Heather put her hands on the prize. Fantastic place for a walk

Out for an early morning walking and caching expedition with the always lovely CPwanderer and Hevwalker. We focussed on a number of the LPT series and found a few others in the area also.

Thanks for caches The Calumphing Four

Retrieved this whole completing the nearby LPT series..... Easy find TFTC

Such a nice quiet area for a walk and the oppourtunity to pick up a few more smilies TFTC!

A nice Sunday afternoon walk with geohusband & geodog in the Whites Road Wetlands area to claim a few caches. Saw a few rabbits on the way here, geohusband spotted the cache without much searching!
SL, TNLN, T4TC

The beasties out in force! Tftc

Quick find on a pleasant bike ride

Mr Tardis was out with Team Scoobster and froghoppin today finding a few caches in the area. A nice area and Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache C4.

We were out on a caching run with Team Scoobster and Tardis Trio and were targeting any caches that may be in the proposed connector route or nearby that could be closed off to access, so with a successful morning caching we decided to do the bottom end of the LPT series and any other caches nearby, quick find with three sets of eyesTFTC calumphing_four

Bloody mozzie. Cheers found with superman_22.

Easy one cheers. Found with northstar76. Bloody mozzies

This one wasn't as easy as your other one. Sat lock was proving difficult and the amount of leaf litter and debris from the surrounding trees wasn't helping us. No water in sight but a mountain of mozzies sucking us dry. Eventually Gwen located the cache and log book was quickly signed & replaced .
TFTC calumphing four

Poor horses would have gone without here today as no water in sight
Did not sight a horse but could here them in the distance
GPS was not doing us a favour here
Spent way too long searching for cache
Mozzies were attacking making it unpleasant also
Finally I spotted the cache closer to the trail than where we had previously been searching
This cache happened to be our 7000th find
Tftc

Congratulations to The X-Trailers for making this there 7000th cache find.
Luckily it was even Gwen who spotted it first after around 15 minute search,
Caching with Linda from 3LG and Gwen.
The mozzies were going crazy flying around us.
TFTC

Veni. Vici. Vidi. Scripsi. Working in the area and it was lunchtime and needed a break so decided to go find a cache or two. Nice day for a walk through the area. Arrived at GZ and as per the description the GPS was going crazy but soon spotted a cache. Retrieved, signed log and replaced. Didn't see any horses though. Gratias pro cache.

On a hot and humid day I was walking past on my way to another cache and of course I had to stop off here and grab this one. Not too much water here right now but there were millions of bull ants and mosquitoes so I tried to keep moving.
Thanks for the cache calumphing_four.

Early morning find on a glorious day. Thanks

What started out as a few hours of caching with Locus Cache and a Sewer Rat tuned into an epic 7hours.
We shared stories , laughs a plenty,
Finally got to find this one while out searching strange lands. tftc

Found it

Almost gave up but found it.

Nice walk. Easy find.

Lol

Found it

Lovely Sunday walk with geohubby and geopuppy. Found along the trail all in good order! TFTC SL

Found it easily, thanks

Easy find tftc

Nice place for a horsey drink Tftc

With the caching bug biting, I thought that I would clean up some of the caches I had in the general Salisbury area. I have needed to finish off the LPT for sometime now and seeing as I am cleaning up what better time to do it then today.


What a beautiful little wetlands, I didn't know that Globe Derby actually had houses, i thought it was only a trotting track lol.

Number 9 of 13 for the day

Out walking along the LPT.
This one took a while. Checked out lots of the hints before cache was eventually found next to an ex-hint.
Nice walk, pity about the mossies.
Thanks for the cache calumphing_four

This is my 600th cache and found a new location for walking and photography.
Thanks for bringing me here calumphing_four I will be back for more adventures. tftc

A favorite from me to mark my special occasion and a great location.

We came back to this area to make amends after an unsuccessful visit here during the winter, hoping to have better luck with less undergrowth to contend with. That, and bringing another team member with us who is much better at spotting hides than some of us And so it was, a great start to our walk. TNLNSL TFTC

After braving the detour, Timotatus and Mattycat found themselves
washed downstream with nothing but a pen and a gps...
the bold adventurers continued, looking for a horse, some water,
or something else to lead the way.
Mattycat was just about to lift the lid on a big white box
with some words about bees written on the side,
when Timotatus called out, oh, it's on that side.
A lucky break.
No bees were harmed and sadly no horses were watered.
tftc

So easy tftf

Our plan A for today had to be postponed, so CPWanderer & I headed out this way.
Having not cached this way, I readily agreed.
We decided to complete a mini loop to include this one.
CP had completed this one previously, but he helped me look.
No water today, but plenty of horses available for pats if I had time.
Clever name, thanks for the cache calumphing four
