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 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.

Going the opposite direction to where we found a couple of caches last night, we are now heading SW.
The recent rain meant the shoes got quite muddy. While I left a ziploc bag to keep the log book drier it seems I should have left a pen Wink

Definitely agree with the last logger about the MUD. But I guess the area is needing the recent rain, so i can't complain too much.
2222, GAFF1 Took a bit of a drive around from the GPSr trying to route me to the closest approach to the cache, which doesn't work. Found the way, and was surprised to see a couple camping down by the waters edge (and still awake). So I was very quiet as I squelched my way across the paddock. Not too much of a geotrail until right near GZ. Nicely hidden. No problems with mozzies.
Dry and intact. Didn't leave a CSM. Was going to leave a yoyo, but couldn't tie the string in the dark.
Another for the Night Caching elective bookmark. Day 504 of GeoStreak, and getting away from home leaves me only x 5 to find within 80 km.

Parked the car on the side of the road. Saw some lady at one of the park benches, but she paid no attention to me. So I enjoyed my short walk around the houses to the GZ. Some of the field was wet from recent rain, but could easily avoid the worst of it. At GZ terrain rating would have been to low if it was not for the very well worn track to the cache. Cache was found very easily. Had no bag around log, but was still nice and dry.
Thanks for the nice walk, wouldn't have come out here if it wasn't for this cache!

First cache of the night in a very long time. Parked about 200m from the cache, was wary of the flying bats above us. We got 5m from GZ and we thought we heard something in the bush near the cache. Found the cache, signed the log and got out of there. Gosh there was some spiders about. TFTC
 
27-Oct-13
Found the cache after a short search. Be wary of the spiders. Gloves and a big stick may be a requirement at times.

i found this cache during the scouts Geocaching comp
 
Went to 2 places before we even got close.
Had a lovely walk near the lagoon.
We were with team ryanandadam so i sent them and scoobydoo into the "forrest"
They soon came out with the Cache and we all signed it.

The hint had us thought because it said under a rock but it was under something else.

Popped our "cache" cherry. Found it with the kids.
 
27-Feb-13
Came up to Maitland today to grab a few old and new caches.
Our car GPSr took us too far past the entry waypoint so we had to backtrack quite bit till we were on the right side of the tracks. A nice walk through an equally nice park and we soon had the cache in hand and log signed. Thanks vk2nen. roger AR.

Found under a strange "rock". TFTC.

Though a light rain was falling for a lot of the day we still had a good day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to vk2nen.

This was a nice easy find, but the shrubs were very spiky. Thanks for the cache

Lovely spot and a gorgeous day, but a most unusual 'rock' .... Tftc
 
24-Jun-12
Don't wear any good shoes on this one. ground is till wet. Had fun with the kids on this one, even with the prickly trees. This one is close to home for me. But that's good when you are looking to entertain the kids for a while. Big Grin

Slight detour on the way to Bunnings to finally get this one. A bit wet under foot in some places, GPS spot on, thanks vk2nen.

23-Feb-12
Dropped of my car nearby for a service and thought I would ride home and collect caches on the way. A glorious morning ride across the dewy grass.

Hint could do with being updated.

Found today after some late work. Thanks for the cache.
