No luck even with new coords

No luck, cache owner no longer plays lots of dnf

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Found this one a while back, didnt get the chance to log due to low battery and no breath.. Hahaha

Kiwika and I looked for this one today but couldn't find it. Looks like someone has set up camp around the cache area as there are the remains of a shelter lashed together.

I absolutely hate searching for a cache, only to get home and realize the coordinates are wrong. Nope, didn't find this one.

Just a reminder about the change in the coords and clue. Since the owner of the cache no longer plays, perhaps an admin can change the coords for us??

The original container was burned in a fire.
It has been placed in a new container with the original logbook.
The new location of the container is N 13 degrees 27.897 minutes and E 144 degrees 51.049.
This location is in the same general location as before.
The new clue is a big rock and a stump. UPR.

Finally got this one. It helps to have the new coordinates Second find of the day! TFTH

We grabbed this one today as we headed out to get the caches in the area. What a beautiful day for a hike and the tide was negative... just a great time for adventure and scenery. TFTC TNLN SL

Found this on my way down from Taguan's Cave. Good Cache!

This looked like a great day and low tide so we decided to look for these Taguan caches. I guess things have grown up a bit around this one. Had to leave this as a DNF.
We'll be back with a low tide this summer and try this and the cave caches again.

This was a nice easy cache ~yeah right~ Going down the 200 and some odd steps, but when it was time to go back up with three kiddos it proved to be quite a challenge. We were about to head out to Taguans cave when a storm blew in and we thought better of it. The cache is still in good shape. TNLNSL TFTC.

Someone needs to update the coordinates on this cache. it isn't where it is supposed to be.

Since I came along with two of the most depenable men I can only trust they know exactly what their doing to me.! This is a hike!! oh nooooo.. well.. oh guys don't worry tho' since brother JimP59 can see that I am huffing and puffing he told me to sit down and rest he'll log me in! OMG THANKS FOR HAVING SUCH A CARING BROTHER! Ok now, about this cache I am actually telling you the fact~ I am so sure it is well worth going for~down the steps in such shady areas cool breezes and the view is outstanding! but due to my legs cramping and me being bend outta shape I never got a chance to get to the bottom. OK OK OK.. stop laughing just cause I logged it the way it truly happened. That is why I've stressed out how depenable and trusting these two men are. So, just cause I ran out of air going down hill.. don't mean I won't make it next time I go I will do this one again, but will come very prepared. So, to make this short and sweet. This is one cache I can actually say I've benefitted!. TY brother JimP59 for assisting me back up! whewww that was fun!

Found this afternoon while caching in the area with Jimp59 and Ungkulu.
This was indeed a long way down lots of stairs. We picked up a Boonie Dog tag along on the way down. She was talking to us all the way down and all the way back up. Too bad we did not have any food to offer her.
Thanks to Jebest for the excellent clues that helped us zero in on the cache since the signal is so bouncy.

TFTC!

The original container was burned in a fire.
I placed a new container with the original logbook.
The new location of the container is N 13 degrees 27.897 minutes and E 144 degrees 51.049.
This location is in the same general location as before.
Most of the immediate area has been burned.
The new clue is a big rock and a burned stump. UPR.

Since I have it in my possession, I MUSTA found it! See my earlier log to see why I removed it, but since lilmsmuffet, book_freak and I went all the way down there I WANT THE CHECK MARK!
TFTC!

Maybe the owner will be at the event on Sat. or maybe some one can adopt if from him!

These are the actual coordinates for the cache location. Decided to add this waypoint until the owner can make the change permanent.

FTF! Redeemed myself today. A few days ago I had tried this and couldn't find it. So I took pictures like crazy and showed them to Mr. and Mrs. l0009565. Luckily, one of the pictures I took happened to include a picture of where the cache was hidden. So today, I dragged Mrs. Blygoat, MiriamJoabWest and Curtz311 along and we went and did this one again. It took us 10 minutes to get down the stairs and was able to find the cache within a few minutes. We went near the ocean side and took some pictures. Then, I took three readings on the cache and found out that it is located some 94.5 feet away from the posted coordinates. The coordinates I marked for the cache are N13 27.891 E144 51.053. You may want to use these until l0009565 can reconfirm and update them. It took 15 minutes to get back up the stairs and we headed off to do other caches. Now, I can sleep once again! Very scenic once you're at the bottom of the trail, great views of this rugged coastline! TFTC-SL

Tried to do this one solo today. Big mistake. The hike down was no problem. Well maintained stairs and path made for a quick hike down. Got to the bottom and followed my gps into the boonies. Found a rock and a tree. Searched around but no luck. Hey, what's that over there? Another rock and tree. Searched again. But wait, there's more! Another rock and tree. Which one could it be, the rock with the two trees crossing over it making an "x"? Nope. The other rock with another two trees creating an "x"? Not that one either. How about the big boulder with the tree growing out of it? Can't find a cache there! How about the rock under the fallen tree where the gps zeroed out? Not there either. Had to play tug-of-war with some of the hundreds of spiders in the area and struggled with the vines. Tried my phone a friend option but couldn't get a reception. Looking for a small cache in the middle of the boonies with nothing but trees and rocks all around made me wish that the cache were something bigger, like an ammo can. After an hour and a half, I decided to call it a day. Except, now I have to climb all those stairs to get back up! Took my time, rested along the way and finally made it back to the top. Celebrated my misadventures with a gatorade!
