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.

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 listing and post a new 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.

Not sure what's happened to 'regular maintenance' here but perhaps it's about time this one was archived! Given this one was last found **13/08/2014** and has four consecutive DNF's by knowledgeable seekers, plus two Needs Maintenance logs over a period of 14 months!

think this one needs checking as we looked but cant find it

Time for this to be checked I think

An interesting tale related to the cache, just a shame I never found the cache. This one really does need checking by the owner.

Better check this out - lots of grass growing covering the area where it looks like the cache would be hidden, but no cache.

Interesting story about Harry btw.

Had a good look around for this cache, but no luck today. The clover is very long here so there is a possibility that I could not see it.
Thanks

After Sorceysal and I finished the fish series in 2 1/2 days, we decided to head to Maitland and beyond to grab a few more caches in a more relaxed day, without the haste. Tess the geodog also enjoyed the heaps of walks today, and the great variety of hides.

This was too tough for us despite checking the details twice, thanks anyway healthy leg

After a very successful day yesterday on the Fish Trail, we decided that today we would drive a loop from Warooka to Minlaton, Port Vincent, Edithburgh, Yorketown and back to Warooka to see what the area has to offer, to look for some caches we didn't have on our initial lists and to plan a return to cache the area more extensively. This was one of the extra caches we tackled on our tour. After quickly collecting the data, it was a short walk to GZ where a quick find was made. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache healthy_leg.

Nice quick and easy multi on a slightly wet morning
Found with earthlight

Over on the penninsular with the x-trailers doing maintenance checks .

A good multi, thanks for the cache OwnerName.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega.

Today we had to move house (caravan) from Coobowie to Minlanton so only attempted some multi's near Coobowie before we headed off.

With very mixed results we hit the road Jack! On arrival at Minlanton we dumped the vans and headed for Point Turton. Having seen some of the 50th birthday clan earlier in the week we were disappointed to have been too early for these caches but a return trip saw us knock these over today at high tide.

So much history in this town and in this cache. Thanks for sharing.

TFTC

Staying at Turton for our combined birthday weekend. This was one of many caches found over the course of a great weekend.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

11269 caches found

after working it out, it was a quick find

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache healthy leg

This one was on the way back from the FT power trail we'd completed-so we decided to pull over and collect

Nice, quick find-always good!

Thanks for the hide, healthy leg

Day 4 of our epic expedition within SA. specimenX and myself had found the FT trail last night and solved all the puzzles in preparation for today. We set off nice and early (starting at 7:30am) and we didn't return home (place of current residence) until 11:30pm. It was a very long day however very enjoyable. We picked up a couple of caches on route to the powertrail and commenced the trail at 10:05am and we completed the last cache at 15:29pm of the powertrail. Including breaks for lunch and rest breaks, it works out to be about a cache every 2 minutes. Can't complain about that

We had heaps of fun today on the trail, I was the designated driver and specimenX was the hyped up runner. Once again, VERY strong coffee came into play this morning. specimenX was soo hyped up, at one stage her feet were in the air and her head in the ground.... ummm what the??? [:o)] On a number of occasions, specimenX would go so fast, her feet were left behind and she would almost face plant the caches.... excited much?

specimenX had a run in with a pollen tree, that decided it didn't like her, and it "poofed" all over her.... it just exploded, literally.... and she was covered from head to toe in pollen. OMG we lost it, I couldn't breath and specimenX couldn't control herself with laughter. Absolutely great day all round.

On our way to the PT, we passed through Minlaton, and OMG we were salivating over the caches there, so OFC we made our way there after the PT to do a clean up. We decided that 200 was our target today, this would be both of our largest caching days. We cleaned up Minlaton with all but 2 DNF's and one we didn't attempt as it was outside the CO's house (not trotting through gardens or shining torches at 9pm at night, don't feel comfortable doing that). We the headed back towards Port Wakefield to wind up our day of caching. The cache "Ruined" was a deal breaker for both myself and specimenX however, specimenX had a trip on some rusty wire and it could have been very nasty however walked away physically unhurt. I then opened the cache to find my biggest fear inside which was a trackable and I almost ran home to Canberra. The fear it put in me turned me very pale and made me feel very sick. Why do people make those 8 legged freaks into trackables or place fake ones in caches??? It drives me insane [:(!]

At the end of the night, we had some much earned dinner at the Port Wakefield truck stop and made our way home. We can now successfully conclude we completed 203 caches !!!! (and 2 DNF's )

Thanks to Fishy Tales for the awesome powertrail and thanks to all the other CO's for the caches we collected today [^][^][^] Now its time for some much earned sleep as we both have to be up nice and early to make our travels over to Murray Bridge for the Oz Mega 2014 [^]

After completing the FT series, we headed back to the caravan in Bute,
and picked up a few caches on the way.
Most of the hides were found quickly, with the odd one being a little tricky.
Thanks for the cache, healthy leg.

Found on a 2 day caching run with geowife, we managed around 245 caches and the weather was almost perfect except for a few showers here and there, must return one day to get the ones we missed, very beautiful on the peninsula and look forward to returning.

Found on day 2 as we slowly, very slowly make our way home, a nice quick multi to do while we are here.

TFTC

Be sure to wear enclosed shoes. Dry grass and thistles can be a bit scratchy!

after some math and a walk the cache was in hand thankyou for bringing us here tftcsl.

With the promise of fantastic spring weather and a long weekend allowing for an extended caching trip, locus cache, clare007 and I made our way to the central region of the Yorke Peninsula with the aim of cleaning out as many caches as we could. Cache container was broken so we supplied a new one of similar size. TFTC healthy leg!

What a fantastic couple of days! [^]
Sunday and Monday I enjoyed the company of RideTheGeoWalrus and Clare007 as we cached in an area that I have not cached in before.....therefore I enjoyed what is now a rare concept for me......not having to dodge previously found caches in order to find a cache to locus cache on
We found dust, mud, caches, views, trees and lots of laughs as we drove around and exhausted ourselves doing 115 smileys with 9 DNFs (although we went back later and got finds on several of these DNFs) and one event attended...with only us three there It's always good to CITO!
With CO's permissions, we also did quite a bit of cache maintenance as many logs were full or wet or both and several containers were broken or missing.
If any CO whose cache we visited really wants their old log back, then email me and I will try and work out which old log it is and return it to you.

A quick little multi again celebrating a brave man.
We made a quick find, too, however the container was broken and contents sodden.
Cache is now a roughly 1L fruit container.

TNLN. SL. TFTC healthy leg

Doing some caching while staying with relatives, and completed the maths beforehand.
After a bit of walking, soon had the cache in hand.
Cheers for the cache Healthy leg, enjoyed the history

Got the answers and a quick find followed. TFTC

Had done some research at home which helped
TFTC

A fun multi. The lid is cracked so it may start getting damp inside. Unfortunately we didn't have a suitable container on board to replace it.

We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.

Thanks for the cache!!

Found at 12:12. Had a dnf on this years ago. Must have been bad arithmetic. No dramas today

This was our 4th of 6 finds today - and we found it at around 15:29.
(So this is our 4151st total find.)

A quick and easy find. Thanks for the history lesson.

Took: Nothing
Left: Plastic Octopus
Thanks healthy leg for the hunt today.

A quick find at the GZ with MsKeyrings and SoseOfficer!! Thanks healthy leg for the hide!!

Appropriately our final one for the day. TFTC.

After adding up the relevent numbers, I headed north and was able to locate the cache quite quickly. Thanks for the cache.

good history peice and a fun cache to get
Found on a trip to the York wiith Froghoppin

Out on a caching run with the honeysucker, collected the required info and found the cache, such a common occurance with our early aviator pioneers great hide TFTC healthy leg

When we first added up the answers we had a result of 5.7kms away thats not right. Re-added the amounts we thought & after some searching nearby we had the cache. Found by geo-son. SL TNLN TFTC

Interesting historical spot, TFTC

Found on our travels around the Yorke Peninsula. Happy Caching. TFTH

Just seeing the names of these caches without reading descriptions, Mr TiedyeSmileys was picturing that this had something to do with Harry Potter flying on a broomstick.

TFTC

Thanks for interesting history and easy multi

Thanks for the cache. Signed log. TNLN

was miss out with it last January as dont have a time. This time works out and found it TFTC

A multi that works out perfectly L Golf ball T N TFTC

YP Family Holiday Day 1 - Three Challenge Me team members for this trip (CM2 - me; CM3 - niece, CM4 - daughter).
I've had this on my "to do" list for over 12 months - finally got to do this one. Worth the wait.
CM2 and CM3 worked out the coordinates and CM4 grabbed the find... she's good for looking in the not so obvious spots
Thanks for the hunt.

Day 3 of the Yorke Peninsula Cachout with a find count of 68 for a total of 183 over 3 days - I didnt get them all so will need to get back again soon.

Grabbed the TB as the rain came in.TFTC.

Dropped in TB

Have been here once before, not caching. The Information worked out easily enough and the cache was found once I had the right approach angle.

Took a couple of photos of the plane. Armed with the info we found the cache after a little searching.
TNLNSL

After retrieving the info we had a lengthy search before the eventual find by nibbler.

TFTC.

Took us a little while of thinking about how we could handle these numbers before we settled on the right idea.
A short walk and a quick find followed.
Thanks for the history, Robmc.

It would be possible to go very very wrong with your maths here and set off a long and unnecessary drive.
A rethink and a log read or two and we knew what to do.
Nice big container too
Thanks to Healthy Leg
TNLN

A simple multi and a quick find. Just what was needed.

Thanks Healthy Leg for a really interesting cache. We stopped and visited the local museum to look at the Red Barron and read all the articles. This was so much fun and I really was unsure if I had worked it out but found it straight away. TFTC TSLS. This find was a joint effort with the help of Curry34

Very informative, interesting but an easy find. LNTN TFTC

Enjoyable multi. What ever happened to the other Harry Butler?
Cheers 4 da cache Healthy Leg!

For some reason i had to have two attemps at finding this one
Found it and it seems to easy!

I’ve always enjoyed visiting Harry’s red devil and now I’ve visited his cache! Thank you. Cache # 480.

a nice quick cache and a bit of history as well.tftc

fun find, found with ease, great weekend, TFTC

Find # 63 of 101 for the day on our Yorke Dash to 2000 Tour. It was a bit muggly around here today (given that the plaque is at the entrance to someone's driveway), but it was a quick calculation then off to GZ for a quick find. This is our 1900th cache find TFTC healthy leg.

A simple 5 minute multi. Thanks healthy leg for the cache and hunt.

Found by Mary & David at 0925. What adventure and what daring for the local boy with minimal formal education. He would have fired the imagination of small boys everywhere. A few of our caches are dedicated to similar 'Magnificent Men'. Our thanks to Healthy Leg.

A nice puzzle to solve that involved learning some local history.

An interesting bit of local history, and a good companion to To Fly Or Not To Fly.

TNLN - Thanks Healthy Leg!

Found on way to Maitland to 'Check-in' for the Caching Event.

A 'northerly' direction, puts us in the paddock. You mean "NortherlyISH"

Found out with Team Ermalesh for a spot of caching on the June LWE, TNLN TFTC

Day 2 of the long weekend event. 17th of 41 finds for the day/110ish for the weekend. Quick find in the pouring rain. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found easily in light drizzle.TFTC

Poor bugger. I guess he lived a full life though so good on him for that.
TFTC

There were some muggles sitting on their front step but they eventually went inside and so we found the cache.

Thanks .

Found on the Adrian Mc + Swampy YP Caching Safari.

Swampy's figures has us walking or driving km's away while mine was a bit closer in. Needless to say I was right.

Found after recalculating the numbers. I liked my figure better but Adrians wascloser tpo the mark. Thanks

Found on The 2009 Adrian Mc & Swampy Caching Adelaide And Beyond Tour
Find # 285

Margieh had this one worked out at home but we checked the monument to verify that we were correct and we were so off we went and found it easy at the end. TFTC

Had this one worked out for a while, just waiting to do the rest... Easy find in fading light..... got to keep going Thanks healthy leg for the cache

I solved this some months ago on the Internet and had virtually forgotten about it until we got here this weekend. I couldn’t remember if I had put the revised co-ords into the machine or not, especially since we arrived and expected to see a plaque. (it was there, but we didn’t notice it until after we found the cache )
While wondering around the bush, I glanced down and saw the cache container staring back at me . Whatever works, I guess .
Great bit of history. Thanks for highlighting it for us. I took nothing from the cache, but put in a little rubber Jumbo jet with an RAAF roundel on it. It seemed sort-of appropriate, although I’m not sure why a jumbo would have RAAF markings. It IS made in China, so that may explain it [^].

We had visited the Red Devil and read about this terrible accident. As with many early aviators Harry appeared to be a truly amazing man and again like so many of these pioneers their lives were tragically cut short doing what they love, albeit in Harry's case quite awhile after. We liked the different way of projecting gz and a lot simpler than a lot of math's and re-entering of co-ordinates.
We found the cache quickly and then headed on our way
Thanks healthy leg for the cache

As we didn't have a plane to leave we did the next best thing and left a helicopter. Also left a klem bear and took a clamp. Thanks healthy leg for taking us to this plaque. We go to the hangar but have not known about this memorial.

I hate multis but this one is a good one. A nice history lesson and a short walk.......just perfect!

Found this cache in our early days of caching but have only just realised I hadn't logged it on the computer. Took a drive to check the exact day we found it. Thanks Healthy Leg and sorry for not logging it earlier.

We did this one the hard way. Discovered by geo-granddaughter eventaully.

What an interesting life, and we loved his red devil plane on display at another multi nearby. Did the math and off to GZ - co ords spot on.
TNLN

First cache on the trip home from Pt Turton with the Burgundy Brigade. Thanks Healthy Leg (for both the cache and the pavlova).

Passing TB through

Vale Harry.

We retrieved our travel bug the left hand of death from this cache. It was last seen by us 4 years ago and has travelled to Vic, NSW and WA. Woohoo.

Found with the other on our way home. It has been a long time I last visited this town
TNLN
Thanks healthy leg

Poor Harry, what a shame. I wonder if his planes were serviced by the same mob Qantas currently use. That could explain a lot
Thanks for the history lesson and chance to visit and log another worth while smiley.
Cheers & Happy Hunting healthy leg

Visited Harrys plane quite a while back so it was nice to have a reason to come back here again.
TNLNSL, Cheers.

A quick and easy multi on The Burgundy Brigade aka The Not So Flash Mob tour of the Yorke Peninsula. Took Bertram VW TB, left Hand of Death. TFTC

We used to pass by here lots when Mrs Parrots folk had the house down at Corny Point. I have seen the plane lots but cant remember visiting GZ in a long time.

A quick find, on our way into town. The day was getting warm by this stage, and the flies were well and truly out in force

We dropped the left hand of death off here, after picking it up earlier in our trip of the YP, with the burgundy brigade

It was interesting to read about Harry as these pioneering heroes are often not well known. Found the cache without any problem. Left travelbug. Thanks healthy leg

Found it on our C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) trip down the peninsula and back up again.
With Goingtheredoingthat and Psalm118:25 and some new cachers.

T: happy face badge

TFTC

Was here again with C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) on our "Kick the Foot" geocaching day.

Found this cache with C3(copper Coast Cachers) while attempting to get to as many caches as possible up and down the leg. We left home at 4:45am and got home about 10:45pm! Myself, goingtheredoingthat and Delta Echo were the 'oldies' in the group, plus some 'newbies' - Slasher, Dragon, Bula and Jimbo.

Find number 6. A nice easy multi

TFTC!

Interesting history. A bit different than the other Harry Butler who hangs around animals!

T hat badge
L clamp and something else??

TFTC

Our second multi-cache about Harry Butler in this town. Both caches are/were great as we have learned alot about this amazing Australian. The final GZ was deduced quickly, but finding the box took slightly longer. Picked up the TB Red Devil to assist in his flight to England. Didn't see the other TB that is showing as being in this cache.

Thanks healthy leg.

Collected TB RED DEVIL from daughter in Pt. Pirie & brought home to Minlaton where I took several photos at the plaque & then placed it in the cache
