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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

No cache, earthworks in area. Absentee CO without a login for 6 years? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for maintenance.

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.

Couldn't find it

Had a really thorough look. Clues made it reasonably obvious. ? Been muggled?

They've replaced the bent rail but fun and interesting find!

Accompanies mr_roo enjoyed drive around,...

Woho

Find #: 3478
Time: 4:26 pm
Date: Sat 28 Mar 2015
Staying with friends at Fishing Point on Lake Macquarie, as a two day stopover on our way to the Stanthorpe Mega. Today we went for a drive around the lake, and I was lucky enough to be able to find some caches at stops along the way.
This was find number 6 of 7 for the day.
Took a while to find. Eventually found it about 7m off GZ.
There were lots of cans lying around, this looks like a popular spot but they haven't found the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache mrpestie

Not where I was expecting, but got there in the end when I expanded my search area. TNLN TFTC

I have been by here twice before with my son and could not find the cache. This time I did a night run and swapped my co searcher for Orrsome86. When we arrived we looking in all the same spots as last time and used the clue to no avail. I was determined to find it, as others said it was still here, but we were running out of places to look. We spread out a bit more and eventually found it in a spot we had both looked at before. It was not a particularly tricky hide, but the clue, coordinates and rating seemed all wrong. Maybe it has creeped from where it started a few years ago now.
Thanks for the in depth hunt!

Night Caching with TOMBI. I was asked to help him find this one. I looked in areas near where it was hiding but overlooked twice. Then whilst i was searching else where TOMBI went over my search area. He also over looked it the first time but found it on his search back. TFTC

Here today with Scroggy88 and it was in hand with in 2mins maybe luck on our side today signed log tftcsl

Found with forbidden ground. I had a look for this a few months back when I was new to caching and couldn't find it. However today I found it pretty much straight away. Cache is in good condition.

After seeing a few finds after my last visit, I thought I should have another look.
I still have no idea..............

After leaving our caravan at Rathmine we headed out to find a few caches.
We visited many different locations & found some interesting caches..
Thanks for placing this cache mrpestie

Thought for ages this cache was gone so never searched for it. Found it first time. Admittedly, co-ords a bit off. Did take a while and had to open up our radius. We didn't 'crack' under pressure.

Its still there took a while but my clever boy found it

Couldn't find a troll either

As avid rock climbers Kyam_3 and I were excited by the description of this one 'not losing our grip' but unfortunately could not find it. Searched everywhere and I mean everywhere lol.
Last log was may?

A bit tricky at night... needed more Cache left goodies

Loved the troll idea. Search hi n lo nothing to b found

After exhausting all the likely hiding spots, we expect that this one has been muggled.

I think it may have been muggled, there was a fishing rod close by.

Last time I was here there was just a bit if the container chewed, but now the lid is almost ready to fall apart. Did a bit of CITOing while in the area.

Nice quick find. TFTC!

A quick nice find.

Having the offer of a lift south meant I was able to get a few caches I normally wouldn't be able to get.
All good with the cache. TNLN But no sign of the trackable listed
TFTC Mr Pestie

0100 A resident rodent isn't doing a good job of keeping their teeth sharp here. Might need to go to a metal type container, or at least glue some sand and gravel to a new plastic one.
Left a blue pen and a Correct Site Marker -surgical marking pen. Good coordinates
Will book mark for the Night Caching elective of the DGSc. (Hope to have x 400 by the end of the year!)

Was thinking cache would be a different spot, quick find though!

Found this after a bit of searching after the misleading troll clue. TFTC

Took a long while for the GPS to settle and a bit of wrong searching. There are quite a few potential hides. Left nothing, took nothing. Cache a bit light on. No geocoin!

Enjoyed travelling around this area on a beautiful day. TFTC [:o)] A Scouts Australia Competition

good cache

Bent rail? Might have been fixed. Lid has been chewed and container is leaking.

Nice easy find not many muggers around today TFTC

Walked straight past it good hide tftc

Found it container no longer water proof as rodents have eaten holes in lid

Bit of a hunt with jonnyroe and geoson but found eventually TFTC

Found it with Sareyn and Geoson. TFTC

Found it with TroubleGrub and thisisreallyfunny

Great cache, found with troublegrub & lukeV, found it after a few minutes of searching and trying to look inconspicuous, amazing how busy the road can be. TFTC

Great cache, took only a few minutes to find
With Thisisreallyfunny and LukeV

Cache is all wet and contents wet and smelly!

Quick find. TNLN TFTC

Nah! Looked all around but no joy. Too clever for us

Another good find in the area. SL TFTC

TFTC
Found it after a little bit of searching. As was said below, lid was a bit worn, but is still dry for now.

TFTC. Not exactly where one would expect it to be. Good hide.

Container lid a bit on the worn side. Wouldn't be weather proof if it got wet. Everything inside still dry.

Found after widening search

Fount it

Closest to my home and first find. Troll ate my leg...PEACE!

Just going through the GPS, realise we found this back in January but forgot to log it! TFTC

No troll or cache here today

Yay !!
This is my first find since being introduced to Geocaching.....it could become addictive !!

that troll was very scary Tftc

Had to be careful - a muggle was coming.

Good one, easy find

First of the day. Will we reach 100 by the end of 2012? 91.

Nice hide TFTC

Nice quick find tftc no tb in cache

Grabbed this one on the way past getting a bit dark will have to be the last today don't have a torch with me but found cache ok. Creek looks very sick. TFTC

Easy find once at correct GZ, no bent rail as others have said. Creek does look quite sick.
[green] - Found It . TFTC! [/green]

[size=2][blue] This log was posted with CacheSense v2.717 beta, for Android ![/blue][/size]

found it.

Nice quick find, avoiding muggles was the hardest part. TFTC!

TFTC

Somehow managed to escape from the troll a few hours later. Thanks for all your help Dreamershideaway, really. My first Geocaching and I almost get eaten, I love it! Such excitement!

Found it! But troll ate my friend, oh well. Thanks!

Wonderful Day in the outdoors. After driving and riding over this bridge for 40+ years and now discovering geocaching and having the excitement of the find with my family was brilliant. The little ones first find. [:8]

No Trolls but found the Cache,TFTC

I agree, the clue doesn't count any more. Fun find. we looked for something 'non-metal' to put in, as there were a few very rusty bits in there!!

Looks like bent railing has been replaced. A quick find, water in creek didn't look too bad, perhaps all the rain has flushed it out. Left 1948 halfpenny.
Why Bombora?

TFTC A easy find after looked a little further afield.

The water looked very strange here - there seemed to be several layers going in different directions. Luckily, we didn't have to go under the bridge. Not sure what would have happened if someone fell in!
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 11.25am GAFF1 in the company of Robmc and The Cash Man. Gosh - that is one sick looking creek with that slick substance floating on top! and it is flowing into the lake! Thankfully Rob found the cache a little further down, however I still don't understand the Bombora reference? The Atlantics are making a come back!
Thanks mrpestie.

Revisited with

Revisited this cache with dazndky and sploozen

We had made an attempt at this one about two years when we were very new to geocaching. Back today and within seconds the cache was in hand. Hmmmmm, perhaps when we were here last we were distracted by watching out for the troll or were delusional due to the 40°C weather. Either way it is great to turn another DNF frown upside down! Found with Spl00zen and the revisiting CDM261. TFTC.

TFTC

Nice easy cache although the hint is useless.
Rail looks like in has very recently been replaced so clue is no help.

Quick find once the GPS settled down. I think they may have replaced the handrail, therefore the bent handrail hint is not very helpful. TFTC.

Crafty Hide
TFTC

TFTC

DNF I thought this would be easy given the size of the cache.

Nicely hidden, had an idea where it was but took a little bit of hunting. TFTC

First Find!
Found 17/11/11

TFTC (With Wishy1 and Fessman1)

Nice one, took small plastic soldier and left a 5 franc coin

Found today at 4:22pm (to be precise)! Cache in need of some attention, so we removed various deteriorated treasure and sodden logbook. Wiped out the cache container before leaving new/dry logbook. Hopefully all will stay in good order.

This is my second failed attempt at this cache. Have now read through a bunch of the comments, and think I need to try again without being mislead by the clue.
