Logs

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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I noticed that this cache has been unavailable for an extended period of time without maintenance occuring as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

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 plan on repairing this cache, please log a reviewer note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days detailing when it will be replaced, so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a reviewer note every month (28 Days) to keep everyone up to date.

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

Today we had no plan! [^] So after some maintenace on the GeoCruiser it was nearly 11am already.

Hmmm what will we do[?] Mrs Felix suggested a drive to the border - just beacause we can Razz Well Im not sure how or why but that's exactly what we did. Cool

Of course we managed to grab just a few caches along the way and it was a great chance to drop off some trackables that we have had for far too long. Red Face

Thanks to Gum-Ako for helping us explore this wonderful area. [^]

Met up with mogni in the Riverland for an event in Berri Today. We stayed at Renmark overnight and had finished with 3 DNF's in the dark. Up early we thought we would revisit these in the light before breakfast. We then moved onto easier caches. Cool
After a quick search the eagled eyed mogni spied this cache. Smile Thanks Gum-ako. Big Grin

Found this on a very early morning walk after staying overnight with my wife while visiting the mother in law in Paringa.It was just beginning to get light while I was searching and muggles were starting to drive by which made the use of a torch a bit sus.After looking in all the wrong places the cache was finally found in a fairly open place.I may have been over thinking this one!!

Unless we're totally disoriented, this cache might not be in the correct spot. We passed to again later and noticed people right where we stood, was that you Sol and Lucky? TFTC Gum-Ako.

# 5476. Our last day in SA as Robmc and I head for the border and Mildura today. It has been a big week so far with a few of the Power Trails and Series completed.

A bright little engine we did spy after crossing the bridge today. Found this cache surprisingly quickly and it didn't seem to relate to the clue. The TB is long gone into the geoaching wilderness.

Thanks Gum-Ako

Day five of my caching trip with J+J.au and Wilbert67. We stopped at various caches along the way as we made our way home. Once again geocaching has shown us some very spectacular locations, interesting items and sometimes just testing our resolve. Thanks to my fellow cachers for the company. Lots of fun SL..TFTC
