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.

This many DNF's means it's gone. Let's stop dissapointing people and take this one off the map, eh?

Too sad kids
One tired old dad
Half hour
Could be buried under lots of leaf litter, or eaten by some Hungry bored kids.

I do not think the cache was there. I spent a good hour right on top of GZ and then started working my way out in circles - still nothing. I didn't see another soul the while time between 9:30am and 10:30am. Certainly was itchy and scratchy!

TFTH It's all fun and games until Baby Chick has had enough. Checked on all 3 sides of the track, a distance of around 40m apart. No luck for us

Had a good look, unable to find anything apart from numerous empty beer cans.

With this many dnf's I think it's gone. Owner to fix?

didnt find it all wide area .. please check by owner thanks cheers

Didn't find it. I'm a rookie cacher but the last five didn't find it either. Still, found a trail I never knew existed and I've been past it dozens of times! No loss. Please give more clues, or confirm it's still there?

Can't find it. Can you check it is there or rehide it is a great spot

5 persons, 30 minutes, 0 caches
Maybe its just gone?!

Had a good look, a really good look, no luck. Disappointing. If it's still there and someone else finds it, will come back.

Couldn't find it looked do 15 minutes pretty anoid

Spent about fifteen minutes in the bush today, had no luck. Geo senses to pick up anything Nice spot for a walk though, I'll come back another time.

Out with IolantheK for the afternoon. This was my first find for this afternoon. I had a DNF here a while ago so it was nice to get to GZ and have a quick find today

Out and about with teamdfl for a crazy few hours. She wanted to get this one so we headed out this way and collected a few in the area. A bit of a walk then a nice quick find. TFTC, kaisho53.

Nice little piece of bushland in suburbia. Found this one after a bit of searching and walking through a dozen cobwebs!

Thank you. A bit damp inside but all in good condition. Quick easy find in a nice little piece of bushland.

Found today with misssusan, nice easy stroll from the car down the side of a fence line then we found a little trail to follow, then stumbled across a bike path then we found the cache down another little bush trail so not very itchy or scratchy today. A nice easy cache in a good location. Tftc.

Wasnt too itchy or scratchy today. Cache was a bit damp but had some good kid friendly swaps.

I have a personal view that most geocaches a bit off the track could aptly be called itchy and scratchy I spend a lot of time rubbing my itchy skin and prising prickles out of my socks.

At GZ, the cache was an easy find and the coords were good for a Mortiifed hide

Also, it's damp in there and we didn't have supplies to give the container the TLC it needs.

On we rolled...

TFTC Mortified and kaisho53!

Another little bit of bush in the suburbs. A council man was catching his zzz's but onward MsMaddy and I strolled down the path. We thought we may get a bit itchy and scratchy if we had to go bush but we walked a little further and noted a gravel walk. Soon located this cache. TFTC

tftc

Out on a maintenance run today...

Tidied up container & contents, added a few more swaps.

Council has made much improvement in this park recently..

Path past cache now nicely graded & much wider

All ready to go..

Found after a short time. Clever hide. TFTC.

Had come up to Toowoomba with the Cookie's and with an offer to head in towards Brisbane and find a cache or two I took the offer.
Got a little 'tickled' I guess, but not too scratched, or itchy (didn't have the leech bites like Cookie).
Just a short hunt and came up with the cache.
Left: a ziploc bag

1945 GAFF2 Had come down to the area from Toowoomba to grab a geodash (for March) close by, and to grab a couple of caches that would fill a certain Distance Zone from home (470 - 480 km).
After just a short search had the cache, without getting too scratchy - tho the leech bites from the other day were annoying.
Left: pen; Took: nothing
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, All Season Caching 2007 Summer, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, Celtic cross, CITO tag, Iconic Bridges, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink coins, and trackable shirt.

Found after about 10 mins walking it circles around a scribbly gum tree very camo and has water in it don't think it's a air rite container tftc. I'm itchy now

Had a good scratch around after reading the logs but no joy.

It was getting dark but we were in the area so we thought we'd have a go at this one. We parked in the car park, walked up the path to the houses and then followed trail around to GZ. We searched up and down and up again without any luck. We were about to give up when geowife said "found it". I'm happy to have this one checked off the list.

Found it but no pen or pencil so gotta go back and sign. Will leave a pencil there when I get a chance. Tftc

My last find for the day.
I soon found a MTB track that led me straight to the cache. It was exposed so I covered it up before leaving.
Thanks for the cache.

This was our first solo GC. Very excited we borrowed some geokids and took a couple of our own mature geo-offspring with us as well. I had given the 3 borrowed geokids a 5 minute warning that we would go to the next location after searching for ages. Suddenly it just stood out from its camouflaged location!!
We calmed down our ecstatic borrowed geokids and they each chose a toy. Geokid 2 took the hedgehog that we placed lol. Took a whistle and a ring and left a monkey and a sticker. TFTC we are addicts already!

There is water in the box soiling the items.

Was not confident going into this one but after 5 minutes saw it. There are many likely hiding places at GZ but the cache placement is rather random in my way of thinking. TFTC.

I guess this smiley might be a bit annoying to those who have a DNF below me. I know it was annoying me greatly, having DNF'd this one and it sitting unfound on my map. My last stop on the way home from a camping trip down south and I parked at the carpark nearby and legged it up the path, down the track, down another track and to the familiar spot. Not sure where to start I grabbed a stick and commenced prodding. I didn't look for long when a couple of metres away, I saw the cache. Not hidden, not camo'd, just out in the open. I wandered over, checked the GC code on the logbook, and yep, this is the cache. No signs of being muggled, just lost it's cover. Added my name to the logbook and all the contents in good condition. I was mighty glad to grab this one and see it gone from my map. Now to wait for the emails asking for hints I guess TFTC kaisho53, one less Mortified cache to deal with.

I stayed at dog park with geodog while Stairman1 went to grab this one. I didn't really want to get itchy and scratchy.

Had a good look around here today. In all the likely looking spots and a few others. Still nothing. I really think the owner should have a look here.

No luck with this one. Followed a nice path to GZ. Had a bit of a scratch around, but found nothing ;-(

What a bush bash. Found the path. Found the itchy scratchy stuff. I feel this cache has been rated incorrectly. The terrain was not a 1 1/2. Quite disappointed.

A little too wet and a little dissapointed as this was the first cache hunt i took ny kids too will try again when its dry...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the bush

Not a creature was stirring, not even a tick;

The caches were hidden in the bush with care,

In hopes that others soon would be there;

The swaps were nestled all snug in their bed,

While visions of smilies danced in Gaz'n'Kab's heads;

And Kab in her dress, and Gaz in his thongs,

Had just settled in for a short summer's walk,

When out in the bush the GPSr made a noise,

We sprang from the track, to see what was to be found.

Away from the track, the treasure was revealed,

Tore open the lid and signed the log

TFTC kaisho53 and Merry Christmas!

Gaz'n'Kab

Pulled out due to a geoinjury. Watch out for the multitude of spiders that appear to have moved into gz. Their bite is nasty.

This one was hidden nicely took a bit for the GPS to settle and then it was in hand TNLN TFTC

Cache was found by work colleague today who was in the area - he reports it all safe & well

Swung by this afternoon to try and grab this one, being so close to home and all, and even with the updated co-ords, we just couldn't spot it. Perhaps the owner could take a look to confirm it is still there?

TFTH kaisho53

Gaz'n'Kab

Dropped past this one again today after work and checking off a few caches in the area. Still no luck for me unfortunately. Maybe an owner visit or the flick could be the answer here.

Looked and Looked but didn't find it.

Spent a good while searching GZ and raking clues and logs for hints to no avail.

Thought we could grab a quick one on the trip to mum's for mothers day, not to be We found the path and with two GPS apps on our phones we had GZ moving a 20m radius waited for it to settle, away from everyone OMG along comes a muggle... what are you guys doing?... Looking for something a friend dropped off in a game we play with our friend... Did we get away with it? "Well you should watch out for the "Joe Blakes" there are plenty of them around here and you should take a stick with you. We came away itchy and scratchy but no joy today, will come and try again another day

Mmmmhmmm.. Mortified caches and me don't mix. But thankfully this one came to hand after about 10 minutes. I have posted my co-ords up for other's consideration if they have dramas like me (yes I am aware they are close - but every bit helps). I was very happy to get this one. It was damp inside again - but I dried it out - Log book was okay. A nice quiet bit of bushland. TFTC Mortified and kaisho53

Heute bei einem gezielten Spaziergang den Cache nach langem Suchen gefunden und geloggt. Hatten viel Spaß, da ein kleiner Cacher namens Albert dabei war.

Visited on Maintanence run today,

Cache was a tad waterlogged...

Now dried out, new log bok in place

A few new swaps added for the geo-kids

When Mortified says "easy cache"... you'd be right in being a little scepticle

With the added GPS bounce on an overcast day, this took around 20 minutes to locate.

Easy?? No!!!!

Thanks Mortified for at least trying to make it easy? and Kaisho53 for the adoption.

Found it with my trusty assistants (geo grandkids)!!TFTC

Found quickly thanks to the sharp eyes of MightMouse09. Cache contents were a bit damp so dried them out as best we could. TNLNSL TFTC.

Found this whilst out with ManicWombat today. Now swaps done. TNLNSL. TFTC.

nice park thank you easy one

lovely place thank you for showing us this one, good walk and nice hide

Found it No. 2897 ... a bush bash then trail ... took turtle and LN TFTC

Wow, what a very good hide. Took us 15 minutes to locate. TNLNSL. TFTC!

First time! Great hide! Took us 15mins, took Oliver Wood butter knife (R04HA1) to relocate on our travels this afternoon.

Itchy & Scratchy was transferred from mortified to user kaisho53

Could one of the next visitors eventually be so nice and do an inventory check for the listed trackables?
Thanks Sökande

Found 13:01 today

Very tricky find - had given up after about 30 mins searching - gone & collected geodaughter & partner from nearby playground then wandered back in for 1 last look and located almost straightg away

TNLNSL

Thanks Mortified for the cache

Well I didn't come in the easy way!!!! but i did findthe cache after a pretty long search, probably was only 15mins or so but it seemed like for ever!!!

Cache contents are a bit damp. Tried to dry them out as much as possible.

TNLN

TFTC

Path ok GZ seemed ok hot not ok cache nil disappointing found grey tape down trail, hope it's not from the cache - we're all itchy and scratchy

WELL, A Mortified cache!!!!!

Didn't realise this fact until I was back on my PC, NO WONDER it took me so long to find it. WELL hidden, Coords SPOT ON.
Dropped off some TB's, took TB. Thanks. (logging now when I have access to a pc)

Speedmistress Triumphs. TFTC Took travel bugs X 2. Left travel bug X 1.

Forgot to drop in travel bug. So here goes.

Found a reasonably easy way in, but a much easier way out ... of course. Always the way [B)]. Spent a while poking around doing the old scrub turkey impression before the cache came to light. TN/SL and left the "Homepride JIRO" TB.

Looking at the signs around the dog off leash area was a laugh
Must have been a few Jack Russels mysteriously disappear here in the past [^]
Still chuckling, I wandered off down a trail I found, past a motorbike and got to GZ unscathed
I think I might finally have gotten the hang of how team Mortified hides their caches
This one was found in under two minutes [:o]
TFTC.
I left Mini's Dragonfly Trackable.

[This entry was edited by If on Friday, October 30, 2009 at 2:07:15 AM.]

found it.
TFTC

Doh... Sooo close to getting the Geocoin. Sunshine Toledo just got there before me by 50 mins...
Read the logs and found the track so not so Itchy or scratchy. The GZ was spot on. I was just about standing on it. Great rehide Sunshine.
Out: Nuttin, nil, zip. In: Sunshing keyring in for 'Sunshine"

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 2:32pm. Took some time to find the track; luckily we didn't ride that motorbike. Out: Geocoin. TFTC

Yes, we were guilty of bush bashing as well. Found a track nice and close to the cache after the fact. The kids enjoyed watching the puppies in the enclosure.

TFTC

I, too, missed the track and discovered it after doing the bushbash.

I must have walked past the cache at least 4 times before I saw it.

TN Dropped in the Green USA Geocoin.

tftc tn left a green woggle

Found with Greenbank Venturers our second find of the day

Good walk to bush make me fresh...........good found....

9.55am. We found a track in and then the right one out.
Quick find. Thank you. David and Heather.

I didn't see the track at all, as I was too busy looking down at the GPS to get as close as I could before heading bush. It was after I had battled through the trees for about 20m that I found it... It fits right in with my "Do it the hard way or not at all" mantra... The dog was still there with its nose poking through the gate... At least it was quiet... [^]

I followed the path and got within 20m when the batteries on my GPS diecided they'd had enough... GREAT... So, it was just me and lots of greenery. Fortunately, the caching gods were on my side and I found the container within a couple of minutes... Phew...

I grabbed the TB and the coin to take to the Bris Meet and Greet event in a bit over a week.

Cheers Mortified

FTF @ 1:30

The gods of rain and flashlight batteries tried to test my determination with this one. It took me about 40 minutes and 2 rain showers but in the end my perseverance paid off and I could harvest my 10th FTF. I'm sure this would have been much easier in daylight.

TFTC, wemwolf

This was my last cache of the day.I wandered passed the "track" and was greeted by a small dog with it's head poked through the hole used to open the gate. Hard case. Anyway, back to the "track" and followed it to GZ. I took about 10 mins to locate the cache. Took badge. Left nice Geo-coin. Thanks again Mortified.
