As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
 
With a few DNF I'm disabling until I can get up that way to re- enable it. Sorry for any inconvenience

A quick find on a short holiday to Port Hughes!
TNLN
Thanks for the cache!
 
WOW WOW WOW Rockyglengromets we have found so many of your caches today. I would guess at 60-70% of our 137 for the day.
I'm only going to fill this long up once because I don't think everyone will want to read all this rubbish 60 plus times.
We have really enjoyed all you caches, the coords are accurate, clues are there when needed.
It's just been such a pleasurable day of caching and we got excited every time we knew the next cache was one of yours because we knew it would be good.
Congratulations on such a huge job of populating yorks with so many. You've led us a merry dance around the place.
Thank you for all your caches we really enjoyed them.

We are staying in Wallaroo for a couple of days, specificallly for caching and today we are dodging the showers. Certainly adds a couple of numbers to the terrain when you have this much rain. A quiet little spot, sane people are inside in the warmth. TFTC

Found with Zytheran and the mini-Zyths, with the cache in the hands of local landholders who were wondering what on earth was going on just over their fence. Had a chat to them and it took less than five minutes to work out the 2 degrees of separation that SA tends to have Smile

Found along the relatively cache-free road with the Wibbles who yet again proved that strangers are difficult to find in SA.

The Rockies from the Glen should know.

There were rocks.

There was a bend.

Indeed, there was a cache.

The skies were not clear. Sad
 
17-May-09
A beautiful day. Everything is starting to come on green. Lots of moss on the stones. So it is probable that they do not roll.
 
Calcrete!

First stop for a quick RGG raid.

Thought we'd be a bit rusty with 70 days of no geocaching, but didn't take long to find the box.

A nice area, pity some people ignore the signage and dump their refuse in this otherwise neat area.

Thanks RGG's.
