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.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Moonta Sings the Blues"

Following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log. It is now well over 28 days old and there has been no reaction from the CO, who hasn't actively cached since 19/07/2016.

The cache was last found on 12/09/2015, 447 days ago, and has had 10 DNF's, 1 Needs Maintenance Log and a Needs Archive since that time.

Could you please temporarily disable the cache to prevent it from showing up in search lists?

Regards

Ian & Penny

Did not find. Needs to be archived as suggested in previous logs.

Hi there Psalm 118:24,

RE: Your cache **"Moonta Sings the Blues"**
There's so many DNf's here we didn't see any point in adding another.
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace (or archive) it if it isn't.
Regards

Ian & Penny

No luck. I realise this could be a tricky cashe , but with all the dnf's lately I wonder if it is here.

Nothing

DNF this time and no time to return for another try.

All of Family4P searched for a good 30min. With no luck.

Not this time

dnf but will try again later

This cache eluded us so many needles. Hint no help and with gps not liking the tree cover we had a large area to search. Looked to no avail. maybe next time we are in the area.
TFTC anyway

4F 3D total 94

Found it this time. I don't know why I did not find it last time.

Thanks Psalm 118:24 for the cache

# 9459. Sadly, I only have one entire day in Moonta and there is so much to do and see. I love this historic area and definitely need to and will come back here. Tomorrow we head to Broken Hill for more adventures.

The hint wasn't really all that helpful - but after a bit of fossicking the cache was found. Unfortunately, the listed TB is long gone and needs to be marked as Missing.

Thanks Psalm 118:24

Found it with CherryRose on our 5th day of our 10 days of caching fun on Yorke Peninsula and the Barossa Valley. Not an easy find. Took us a little while. TFTC TNLNSL

TFTC took us awhile to find this one "OH! so many NEEDLES" Great hide but disappointed no Travel Bug as hinted in last FIND. SL

Tftc. Took 2 mins to find. Bug left.

Number 2

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.

This was my second attempt at this one, took us awhile until we really thought over the clue and put it together with another comment

[Red]I apologise for the late log... Problems with GSAK and crashed computer...[/Red]

[green]Find #6191[/green]...

Found this while House Sitting in Virginia...

Decided to head out and grab some caches with Aussie M & M, CPwanderer , locus cache around this lovely area...

A bit of a stroll, a short search, found cache, stamped and returned... Great company and a fantastic day out...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Psalm 118:24...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Stamped Log...

This is very much not as easy as it could be. We made it hard for ourselves and it only could be that way as you planned it to be that way. TFTC.

Many thanks to the generous CPwanderer for taking Mrs Aussie M and M, Snap Happy and myself for a caching drive to Moonta and Kadina way
We left early, returned early and had a fun time in between picking up mainly random back road caches that most of us mostly had not found.
17 smileys and some great memories

This took quite some time and the combined efforts of 4 cachers to find....even considering 1 had previously found it.
Understood the hint but soooo many made it hard work!

TNLN. SL. TFTC Psalm 118:24

Roamed around for ages finally found it ☺

Took us a while

Wander in the needle forest

Love the theme, made a good swap and found our first hitchhiker to move on, was a little hard to find but worth it

Found it

Tilds123. Hints helped. Good cache

Great blue find

Found on a morning walk with Holly the Wonder Cacher & Madham02 & Belle

Found it

My first cache!

Tricky with all the ground cover here.
Good coordinates made it a quick find in the end.

TFTC. Find #909

I abandoned pushbike and wandered into the scenery
Where oh where could the little cache be ?
Well I must say that is about the most useless clue I have read
Duh !!!

A bit of poking and prodding did result, eventually, in a cache find
PHEW !!
I could have been in there all day [:o]

TFTC, I left the "First To Find Micro Geo-Award" trackable in the cache

Very blue

Beautiful spot

TFTC
Found with the cousins
A bit of searching required

Fun one to finish the day off on. Good spot! Very peaceful

Quick find on a warm day and got attacked by mozzies. TFTC

Found after a couple of circles. Cache was very exposed so covered it a bit better than we found it. Nice clue and no shortage of them here. Thanks.

Smurfs

Spring day Mozzies galore tree hunter

after a short stroll to the cache spot my buddy Kara and I found the cache guarded by about a million hungry mozzies who thought we tasted pretty good, we put in a lovely blue bracelet!

Nice quick park and grab on our Wallaroo-Port Pirie day out caching.

TFTC Psalm 118:24

Quick find with Genghicat.

TFTC

Found after a short search through the bushes
Log is damp but still signable, and plenty of room
TFTC x

Found it

It was awesomeness looking for this

Tftc

Tftc, log is very wet tho

Tftc after a little wander round we found it ... No trackable. Needs maintenance- new book

Tough one but we found it

Today we are heading to the copper triangle to do some caches, we managed around 120 caches over the 2 days we spent here and we saw some fantastic scenery along the way, being the geowifes early childhood stomping grounds i was treated to a lot of history about quite a few of the areas and how much things have changed over time, this was a nice easy find. TFTC

tftc

Too hard for us. GPS playing up under the trees.

The GPS was sending us in circles but eventually we stumbled upon the container.
TFTC

A very windy day meant our jetty fishing plans were cut short. Why not try some geocaching instead. A bit of a hunt but eventually discovered it. TFTC.

Better than searching for Easter eggs! Tftc

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

We'd had a search around for this one on a previous occasion without any luck but today we were determined not to leave the area until we had a smiley! Our GPSr didn't want to settle down so we started at where it said GZ was and made ever-increasing circles until a discovery was made. Thanks for the cache.

tb visit

I was in the area having found a cache just up the road and was determined to have another hunt for this one. Well after a couple of minutes I came across the hide almost by accident .. a random movement uncovered the hide and was relieved to have made the find to say the least. Last time I was here I searched for an easy half hour but this time was found in no time. thanks for the hide .

tb visit

gps was going all over the shop here , looked around for a while but no find..though I noticed a patch at abase of one of the trees where a cache may have been .. will check back at this web page to see if anyone else manages to find it.. thanks for the hunt anyway.

Done

Its good when the boss stops the truck for a quick grab.TFTC
