Last time I was in the area, this cache was offline... Whilst nearby for the Team Robins event, I happened to ask some previous finders about this one wondering what happened to it [?] Well my answer was solved after we took the short walk to find it... Although they could not remember the exact location, I was quick to spot the sneaky hide

12305 caches found

At the Event next door, decided to look for this one, quickly found, cache in good order

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Bear_Left

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.

Confirm that there are no numbers. Either maintenance or post of the next coords would be good

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.

Jesikahk and I have been watching this cache since we attempted to complete it in March. There was already a needs maintenance log so we though we would just keep our eye on it. With no word from the cache owner or without the cache being attended i thought it was time to write this log. When we were there in March we checked every inch of the railings only to find a total of 3 numbers. It is sad because this looked like a great cache hence why we were waiting to see it fixed but sadly I think this one needs to be archived.

Only three numbers and one repeat of the number are still on the rails. The rest have fallen off. Needs owner maintenance.

Some of the numbers were barely holding on this cache need an owners review to make sure all numbers are still accounted for as I've only found 4 and been thoroughly searching the lower beams for 4 hours

With a late start and the threat of rain, we endeavored to do some caching.
The rain held off as we rode our bikes along the path, by the river.
This is a multi that we started a while ago, came back today to complete the task.
Thanks for the cache, Bear_Left.

could only find 3 different numbers and 1 number twice there was a few locals harvesting plants wen we arrived so the areas had a fair bit of traffic under the walk way

Crawled around and looked, but only came up with three distinct numbers. So no luck for us

Crawled up and down the walkways for ages but only found 3 numbers (2 repeated). Tried to guess where the cache might be but no luck

Tagged along with Mistaluna, Urch and Everlasting to find this one.

Teamed up with urch and Everlasting today to do some of the caches up this neck of the river. Fantastic weather. Beautiful scenery. Fantastic variety of caches. What more could we ask for. Have to admit to having to ask for a bit of help with this one, but I really loved the area, and am happy to have earned another smiley face. Thanks Bear Left

TFTC

Rained out, will try again another day

Found 5 of 6 numbers. Card #0 needs to be stuck back on. Even without all the numbers, we managed to find it! Really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much!

After not finding the cache yesterday we decided to come back for a second look. We really wanted to find this one as it was an ideal spot to drop off a TB on its mission. We punched in a number of possible coordinates based on the numbers found and circled round to the most likely spot.

We had to circle round the park a couple of times while we waiting for a security guard to finish his rounds before we could uncover the cache.

TB is now happy leaping with the frogs.

Found all the numbers but haven't been able to string the numbers into a coordinate that revealed the cache. Will have to come back again.

Am loving these bright sunny early mornings.

Up and out at 5am for a short scoot round a couple of suburbs to pick up
a few Caches.

Well I think this must be some sort of Geo record for me...

I collected all the required data on the 31st August 2011, but was caught in the middle of a a torrential
rain storm as I did so.

Despite being drenched from top to toe, I didn't give up until I had all the numbers in hand,
so I could take them home, work out the coords in the warm n dry and return another day to claim my prize.

Well "another day" turned out to be "17 months"...... !!!

But sure enough, arrived back today and found the cache, safe n secure in it's hiding place.

A Smiley well earned.

Thanks for the fun Cache.

Found all the digits; final location worked out to be the middle of a busy highway??? If so... Umm why?

I have been searching for this cache for about 6 months at the insistence of my young son who wants to find an 'orange' cache! But I can't find it. We have gradually found all 6 numbers and I think I have worked out which order they go in but I can't find anything. I know it is a while since anyone has found it and those that did could "phone a friend" but I am stuck. Please help as it is driving me crazy not to be able to finish this cache!

Great to do a Bear Left multi in Perth. A bit warm even under the trees but enjoyable search none the less. Unfortunately I was not with my frog mate this time.


Thanks to Bear_Left and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Finally found after a lot of help from a friend,,,,signed log really, really quickly because outside of the Everglades and Mandurah I have never seen more mozzies....thanks again Bear_Left

I've walked along the walkways many a time. This area is one of my dog's favourite places to stretch his legs. Didn't find all the cards, so got coord from a friend. Ended up then having to phone friend cause Mickeydv had rehidden it too well earlier in the day. Luckily I had my weetbix for breakfast so was able to reveal the cache before the mozzies drove me away. The final cache is in great condition and well stocked too. Thanks for the cache Bear Left.

found most of the numbers and had a fair idea where cache was, so went and searched and it was there

tftc

We found 5/6 of the numbers. We searched thoroughly for the last number - but no go. Even if we had found it we couldnt figure out which number was A, which was B, etc...

I had collected the info and worked out the GZ some weeks ago. Was in the area to grab a couple of new caches on a 'long loop home', so I stopped off for this one. When I got back to the car I discovered the car next to me had a smashed window and the owners handbag turned out to be missing. Moral of the story - don't leave a Beemer in this parking area. Quickly retrieved the box, took the Simpson's TB.

TFTC!!! This was SO much fun!

Found with Team YThere. Two of us visited this cache about a month ago and were driven away by the monumental amounts of mosquitoes that were on the bite. We managed to find a few number tiles and decided to give it away before being eaten alive. This time came back with our third member (SilverGryphon89) and managed to locate all of the number tiles. Then sat down on a park bench overlooking the river and saw to the solving of the puzzle. Headed off to the final coordinates and after a bit of searching, I came up with the goods. Great cache Bear_Left and thank you for going to all of the effort. Well worth persevering with this cache.

Yeah what Krabiboy said haha awesome cache.
Note that one of the letters is only just hanging on to the wood. Hopefully lasts but we had nothing to restick it with. Left Fat Homer!

Really good cache. Nice location.
Found with Krabiboy & Silergryphon89 = Team YThere

Headed out this morning with the goal to find seven caches. This wasn't one I had planned to search for, but having parked nearby, I just couldn't resist. After really having given my legs a workout searching the whole structure, I had located only five of the required numbers. I entered them into the GPS (trying to guess the sixth), and headed off to where I hoped the cache would be hidden. On my way, I realised I hadn't checked one spot, and after using my trusty mirror one last time, found the elusive sixth card. Incredibly, I had guessed correctly, so it was off to the GZ, where I found the cache fairly easily right where it was supposed to be. TFTC!

Very clever. Found it easily, into the bag for the mirror.. And what did I forget, Tried to take a pic so I could read, but no good. So I will return with a mirror and continue the hunt. TFTH though.

I got the required numbers and thought that I had the right GZ but couldn't find a cache. Decided to check the listing online and after referring to the hint knew where GZ should be so soon found the container.

Thanks for the cache.

I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and had a good chance today. The area was very dry so was able to search from below. I managed to find 5 of the 6. One of which was barely hanging on. Got sprung a couple of times but pretended to take photos with the iPhone! I searched the whole area and came up lacking the last number. TFTH

Yeah.. finally one of the closest caches to home for me is back! It took two trips, I was eaten alive my mossies last night so came back this arvo to finish it off. TFTC

Replaced some cards and checked on the GZ container.

Time for this to go to the great cache in the sky

This one has been out of action for pretty much all of 2010... should it get archived?

New waypoints have been printed and laminated, new mounting tape and tacks bought, now it's just a matter of getting out there to replace them.

We came, we searched but we could only find 3 of the 6 cards.... one of the three is in need of another drawing pin to help hold it on... maybe the other cards have gone missing?

Finding this cache has been a work in progress over some time. Today we had success with the final and though there were people assembling nearby to take kyaks out on the water no one was paying us any attention. TNLN. Thanks Bear_Left

We found all but one number in the drizzling rain, so resorted to ''phoning a friend'' for assistance with the missing info. After doing the math it was still a ten minute search in the steady falling rain so was very relieved to locate the excellent camo. This was also the largest cache we found today after about a dozen micros.

spent nearly 1/2 hour crawling along in the mud trying to spot the cards. Above the more barefooted Enduro2 searched with a mirror and the 4 legged enduro galloped up and down panting delightedly but not really contributing.Try as we might we could only find 4 cards. I don't know where else to look. It looks like a popular one though, cause the undergrowth is nicely trampled down. Perhaps another set of eyes would be useful?

Long time hunting, with plenty of very strange looks from evil muggles (They were around every corner!!!) 5/6 clues found and with a little logic, found after sometime getting the GPS to track the right spot.

TNLNSL TFTC

Found 5 of the 6 numbers, with a bit of guess work was able work out the correct coords for GZ. Found it after a bit of searching with the GPS taking its time to stabilize on GZ.

TNLNSL TFTC

Hey. Had a look and found two of the cards, but one of them was almost falling off. Thought I would let you know. Obviously didn't go on to find the cache. Will try again in a few weeks.

Hi there

Went today and could only find 2 co-ords. Need 6 to finish this one. The pins on the one's we found were pretty rusted, so maybe they got lost with the elements. We have been chasing this one and would like to find it, please help

Regards

I had an attempt at this one today. I could only find four of the tags and that was after walking around the whole structure three times. I could be blind but then again the other tags stood out. The ordering of the numbers was easy to work out, but with two missing I didn't begin to guess the final location.
I will keep an eye of future listings to see if I was blind or not.
Thanks for the hunt, I will be back.

After managing somehow to confuse myself with the cache name and notes, I wasted about 3/4 of an hour waiting for a persistent muggle to dissapear, only to end up leaving with a DNF. I returned 2 or 3 hours later and could only find 5 of the six numbers, though it didn't stop a determined cacher. After guessing the remaining number I found the cache quickly after parking close by. No swaps this time, but I do have 'fond memories' of the mozzies in the area. Thanks to Bear_Left for the cache.

found it thanks to suger. suger makes me hypo
but choclate makes my sick

Eventually found time to complete this cache. The first time my back was killing me and I made a few guesses. The second time with correct coordinates worked out, the area was being sprayed with herbicide. This time I can confirm it is under concrete and not limestone.

TNLNSL TFTH

TFTC. Great Adventure!!! We had really good teamwork happening, an efficient combination of intelligence & muscle back breaking work (that's a 48yr old back I'm talking about!)
Great fun avoiding muggles with secret alert code words not being adhered to!!. Even though we couldn't find one of the six digits we still managed to find a great cache. Took the GeoPin & left a compact mirror (ahhhh the irony) Signed the log & left feeling very pleased with ourselves - great day!!!
Thanks for the effort in preparing this cache.

This was a fun cache. Finding numbers a little back breaking. Lucky I had geoniece and nephews with me. Couldn't find one number but continued on to find cache.
TFTH TNLN OOPS forgot I took the travel bug to help it on its way.

Ahhh - another Bear_Left corker. Musta looked a sight with the both of us with our bums up looking into a mirror focussing under a railing!!!?? Thankfully it was a bit ordinary out this morning and there wasn't a muggle in sight! Found the numbers, cracked the code and headed off for the cache. A quick find with everything in good order.
Thanks for the fun and the cache, Bear_Left.

ARRIVED : ROC TB
DEPARTED : Aussie Gnome TB and Fish Out of Water TB

As always with Bear_left a pleasure to do. All the team helped with this one including the shorties. We dropped off the "Fish out of water" travel bug (557920) as we thought it needed to get nearer to the river from its previous destination. We took a small compass. Thanks for the ingenuity of the puzzle. Mog60

Back for the second time. Had been here and got the co-ords before but weren't sure if we'd got them right. Turned out we had but the cache had gone. Now that its been replaced, we finally got around to coming back. Plenty of muggles around, so retrieved the cache while filling two large bags full of rubbish. Took the frog magnet and left a geocaching lapel pin. Dropped off Aussie Gnome TB. Thanks Bear_Left, we enjoyed ourselves.

This was a bit of an adventure in a most interesting location - tackled the search from ground level looking (mostly) up, and only getting bogged a couple of times, and scared off all the snakes (I hope), although a bunch of passing cycling kids on the walkway reckoned they were about, so perhaps I should have brought that mirror...
TNLN Thanks for the hunt, Bear_Left.

I was in the area so I decided to pop in and check out the new hide, and picked up the TB while I was here.

A nice straight forward multi with a well hidden final location. T: "Sign on to sign" swaggie, L: "Trouble maker of the South fork" TB. TFTH.

Another great cache, thanx Bears. Took the Squirrels coin and left a little frog magnet.

found it this time, I must have moved the big rock last time I was here

GZ has been replaced in a spot less than a metre from its original placement, but quite well hidden.

bugger !! I should have updated my print out (mid December) and I could have avoided an hour and a half futile search
will try again when reinstated

Bugger! It was a large rock, but not too large for some annoying person to move and take the cache. We found half the container, but no logbook, etc.
However, there's another, better, spot very nearby and a replacement will be there soon.

my 3 young Sons were a distraction

Last Sat mid morning while I was on the boardwalk checking the numbers, there was a stalker nearby. Had it aborted for safety reason. Returned the area, this morning, and ticked it off with Everlasting. We worked out the final coords and found on the spot. Thank to Bear-Left for the nice location and the cache.

Accompanies with Varuna. We enjoyed ourselves and the weather was just right - cool in the walkways area. Thank you for bring us to be here and Dropped - Germany 2007 Geocoin. Thank to Bear-Left for organise the cache and hunt.

My 300th find (if I don't count the GCA ones) and I still didn't wake up to the easy way to work out the number sequence, so I listed the 12 most likely combinations and started trying them - sixth try lucky, and of course it was the first one where there were any rocks at all.
LCC, TN, L dinosaur, grabbed "Monkayo, Philippines" Unite for Diabetes TB, Cousin Its Little Cousin TB & Pinkie Dog Tag TB.
The log book bag was torn (bag too small or log book too big) so I replaced it with a slightly larger zip lock.

Babysitting all morning and wanted to get away. It took me a long time to find all the numbers with my thinking of the way the numbers go proved correct when I found the first number. Easy to find the rock and I no longer feel embarrassed when muggles go by. There was an exhibition up at the house and the attendees went for a walk. No swaps

t4th

Wow, what a great adventure! FTF at 7:45am, and yes it was quite wet this morning. Got up early and came here before going to church.

I don't have one of those fandangled mirrors, so I stole one from our bird's cage and sticky taped it to a bit of dowelling. Well, unfortunately I didn't see much with it, so had to abandon that idea, and go on to other means of finding the tags.

Got my feet quite wet walking through the wetlands and trying to view the railings from below. Then got splinters in my fingers running my hands along the railings while bent over, must have been quite a sight - good thing no-one was around due to the weather.

After finding about 3 of the tags a penny dropped and I had to re-visit the ones I had already found. I didn't take too long at GZ, but did turn over a few wrong rocks along the way.

Took the Sea Princess TB, left Big Rocky TB. Loved the location and working out the final coords. Thanks for the hunt Bears!

Congrats ROgue..more dedication than I, i was up and about, but too wet for me when you were here, well done.

Armed with my mirror, off i went, found the 6 numbers without any trouble, not so daunting as it first appeared! Now to put them in order...

After a couple of false starts found the correct rock, but not before turning (and replacing) many many others. Great fun this one, really enjoyed the hunt, thank you Mr and Mrs Bear.

Took the TB that ROgue left, and left three others (2 of those are very similar, but not related)
