Archieved temporily

This from the section on [url=http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint]Cache Maintenance[/url] that applies to every person who places a cache:

As the cache owner, you are also responsible for physically checking your cache periodically, and especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time – normally a few weeks – in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive the listing.

The cache owner would have agreed to this Term and Condition when initially placing this cache. This cache has not, however, been found since 2008 and there are several DNFs reported since then without any response from the owner. Could the owner therefore please either confirm the viability of the cache and each of its waypoints by placing a log on this cache page or archive it ASAP.

This activity is supposed to be fun but the enjoyment is significantly detracted from if people just 'set and forget' caches!!

Went out to do this one today and found WP1 without a problem. Got the clue and used the new co-ordinates.
Arrived at GZ and searched without success.
This has not been found since June 2008.
There has been a new fence erected at GZ as well as some "Gardening" I searched throught he new gardening and there was nothing there.

This cache will need to be checked.

Found the WP1 very easy the dishpered the clue with no worries. Took the short walk to ground zero but nothing to be found. Search for 30 minutes and then gave up. Great idea with the Human Body clues. Never knew that this park existed, thanks for the walk

Could not find it! Looked for a long time in surrounding area. No sign of a minus sign! Would love the owner to check it out and help us out.
Thanks!

I knew I had to look out for the minus sign, but still managed to overlook it.

Upon correcting my my error I searched the area near ground zero (my GPS tells me that actual GZ is in someones backyard).

I couldn't find it. 6 moths is a long time for such an easily accessible cache to remain unfound, perhaps it should be checked?

[After missing the minus on the clue sheet, we spent a bit of time looking for this cache in the wrong location.] Maybe we only have one hemisphere between both our brains! [We then looked up the cache description on our mobile phone and realised we had the wrong location.]

[However, we still had no success in the right location. It would seem that someone has done some "gardening" at ground zero. ]

[After a lenghty search, we decided to leave this one for another day.]

On Saturday arvo Muzza and I when searching for the cache. Muzza found the first waypoint, and I spotted the cache.

Found today with Alan-san after enjoying the short walk to GZ. Thanks for the cache.

Phound by the Aussie Phantom on my way passed thsi is the first cach that i phound using my new gps it works grate i did'nt make a swap thanks for the cach

Almost thought we had to go into the yard...
Took a marlin
Left an American quarter

Thanks!

Found today after a plesant stroll with the Geokids.

TFTC..

Found today at midday. A lovely walk in the sun and a good hide. TNLN. TFTC.

Good hiding spot. I swapped a horse for a light bulb. Thanks astro69.

Easy find on a nice path. The clue perhaps needs appropriate + or - signs.

I was making my way over to the tree for the big climb today when I stopped by to complete this cache. I thought it unusual to have another car pull up behind me, so I acted suspiciously to draw him out and sure enough it was Alansee. We had a chat about the task ahead of us and before too long the cache was found. It was certainly a lovely spot for a walk.

Thanks Astro69,

Doing a couple of caches before the meeting at The Tallest Tree in the Forest, a suspicious-looking character was already walking to wp1 and sure enogh it was Team Rubik! The wp was found easily enough and gz plotted. A short and pleasant walk had us at gz where the cache was found without any trouble. Thanks to astro 69 for a pleasant walk enhanced by a cache.

Found with Geoson on the way home from his Chess lesson.
Pleasant walk in the park.
Thanks astro69

Found by Mary & David at 1615. Lots of birds about and we only saw one muggle walker the whole time we were there. As a nurse for more than 40 years, Mary still enjoyed the anatomy lesson. The houses nearby are occupied by the dogs from hell. TNLN, but dropped off the 'I Got Screwed in 14 Places & All You Got Was This TB' which seemed appropriate. Our thanks to DelBoy1203.

Talking about the human body; mine was starting to give me grief just here. Bit of a tummy ache starting. Anyway found the cache easily enough although a little care is needed when reading the clue thingy. Thanks for the stroll.

Nice little park tucked away. Had no problems with the questions and we were soon on our way. Cache was in hand soon after.
Thanks, Robmc.

We found our 4th Astro69 cache at 11:00am as the 1st of 13 on our Williamstown or Bust Tour. As per everyone else, the info at WP1 was not to clear so we ignored the result and went where we thought we should be going for an easy find. I am always uneasy collecting a cache where it is so close to private property that the locals will one day deduce that the worst is happening and some poor geocacher is going to end up in trouble with the police. Thanks for the cache from D & H B-A.

Great lil' walking path but those dogs...ARRGH!!
Weren't sure what to make of info needed at WP1 but after reading past logs were alerted to the smudged sign(thanks dak's mob). Thanks for the hide astro69.

Arrived at the start of this cache and discover the neat starting point. GPS was still showing another 10 metres to go but this site looked too suspicious. Wasn't sure about the answer so called the medical member of the family to make sure. After that an easy find. Pity about the dogs!! Dogs over the fence and dogs in the opposite properties had us making a quick snatch, log and put back the same as acts2 did.
Thanks astro69

like everyone else, the first clue was a little puzzling, but the logs shed light on the matter. plotted in the GZ co-ords and off i went. lovely day for a walk on a very quiet Sunday afternoon. GZ was almost in direct view of some muggles backyard and had to do some ninja caching.

Took: Bugg
Left: Horse

Found on my way home form the SE meet & Greet, I arrived at GZ and some dog started going nuts so it was a quick grab log and run on this one. Thanks for the cache.

Oenze and I completed this one this morning while in the area. We had failed to see the amendment made yesterday but we muddled through, though almost completing a 7km unnecessary trip. Cache after all was a nice easy find once everything fell into place. Thanks astro69.

Find # 1793 and 2nd of the day at 8:35am. Accompanied by Feathertop on another expedition east before the Meet and Greet Event. This cache was a bit confusing but after reading some previous logs we knew what to do. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Astro69....

Please note there was a typing mistake as per logs at the filmn cannister. It has now been rectified. E145*08.885.Previously was E145*68.885.Sorry for our mistake.

Found @ 16:30. After a short look around I found the clues at WP1. Having noted the logs before, managed to work out co-ords for final GZ. A pleasant short walk for a nice quick find and the milestone of my 500th cache.
Thanks astro69.
Took: Lobster and Geocoin "Lunchtime Gang"
Left: Whistle

Found 13:45, some ambiguity in the clue at WP1 almost had me doing a fruitless 7km trip [B)], luckily a second reading of the clue had me back on track.

Swapped geocoins, CSI=2, thanks astro69.

Dropping off Geocoin.

Found by Bob at 1035

A nice, quick one on the way to work this morning . As others have noted, there are a couple of oddities about the 1st clue - I thought my Etrex was playing up because it wouldn't let me enter a value of sixty-something minutes as a coordinate [d'oh] - I sure got an earful from a couple of Rainbow Lorikeets perched in a tree above me who evidently knew something about coordinate systems and thought my fumblings were really funny . After making some adjustments, the cache was easily found after a short walk.

TNLN, but dropped off a geocoin.

Thanks astr69

#1 of 2 finds in company with pprass. I had some trouble with the formula for this one. The questions were easily answered, but what was I supposed to do with them? I made a guess, and then noticed a smudge to the right of the instruction sheet, and that confirmed my guess. Future finders: the smudge between the two lines, and to the right-hand side is actually a minus sign! With that out of the way, the cache was an easy find, as the description says, a short walk away. I made no exchange. Thanks to astro69 for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Found 200709161459 . Facitman, s-Facit and I found the somewhat erroneous initial clue very easily but then walked around in circles for a few minutes due to a mathematical error (not entirely our fault [B)]). Error corrected, the cache was easily found after a short walk during which we passed a couple of galahs enjoying themselves

TNLN

Cheers Astro69 & Mitchyboy

P.S. The initial clue could do with a bit of improvement

Found at 2.05pm GAFF4. What a difference a "-" makes! I couldn't understand what was going on and I was late for a group walking tour of the Mullum Mullum trail, so I had to abandon my search at the wrong spot. A call was then made to King Jnr who quickly set me straight and after the Mullum Mullum walk I had another go and found the cache in nicely sheltered spot. Thanks astro69 for the adventure. Took: Timberwolf coin - I believe he wants to go to isolated caches.

Found by Facitman and s-facit with Rhinogeo at 14:59
Not often do we get to visit brand new caches, no FTF chance but a relatively clear logbook. Arrived at the first waypoint and found the required information quickly. Calculated and set off, soon realised that the GPSr was saying 'km' rather than 'm' so we had made a mistake. Returned to first waypoint and realised the error, soon we had the cache solved and a box in our hands.

Took mondo (s-facit cannot resist them)
Left toy car

Thanks astro69

Last find for the day, just after 4pm. The reluctant spouse found the first clue, and as he returned it I glimpsed a character that hadn't impressed itself on me initially. It's easy to miss, or misinterpret.

Much discussion ensued; thankfully my assumption was correct and we had the cache in the rs's longer arms shortly after.

Thanks to astro69

2nd to find - a couple of hours after the Solomons. After spending some time confused over the clue, it was a quick find in the end.

Luck Dog's Crew

13:33 *FTF* King Jnr. It wasn't until I got home did I notice a new cache appear in the area I had just come from - doh!!!. Squire needed a nap so I waited until my queen arrived home after dog training before I returned. On arrival I got this out of body experience feeling as my neurons reminded me of another cache that for me was no "walk in the park...". The clue at WP1 was a mystery - I knew the answers but how did they connect to the next set of coordinates? In the end I determined that I should be using the creative hemisphere of the brain, I sucked in some O2 and discarded the alien parts. No problem after that but the dogs may have something to say to future visitors. Thanks yet again to astro69 In: TB "Timberwolf" & 1800's Solider Out: Ball.
