7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache 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.

Sadly no

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

After having a successful day yesterday, we awoke with motivation and optimism for the day that was ahead of us. However after having our first geocache find, a rock had hit the vehicle's oil sump, leaving the car inoperable and requiring the car to be towed to a mechanic in Port Lincoln. The morning was then spent addressing the vehicle's repair plan, and then trying to salvage the remainder of our weekend's plans. We walked around the centre of Port Lincoln, before finding a hire vehicle for us, and then the afternoon was spent driving around the area. It was interesting seeing Port Lincoln's marinas and also caught glimpse of the shark cages. We ended up drowning our sorrows in the evening (whilst celebrating gridge98's birthday) at the craft brewery, which was probably a highlight of the day.

We had a good look around for this cache, but unfortunately, we think this cache has gone. A CO check may be required. Thanks anyway wheres wolly.

As per previous log this cache is long gone

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A better weather day in Port Lincoln while visiting relatives we could spend a few hours seeking a few more of these elusive hides.

Unfortunately some were abandoned, no longer there, destroyed or removed with no maintenance performed. Many by this owner of caches.


Another one that is no longer there, searching all possible locations but still nothing.

Found it on the floor in the middle of the road think it needs some fixing... KeCyNous

Not sure if people don’t log DNF’s sometimes but not sure if this 1 is here, checked logs and seen it was an eclipse tin in a small box but checked all the areas this side of the track(as per photos) and couldn’t spot, did spot an eclipse tin on the way back to van but it was empty lol! Nevermind!

2nd attempt, maybe third time lucky?

Discovering Port Lincoln cache by cache with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat, and Jack.
Many and varied caches were found and this was one. Some are in good condition, some a little rusty.
A good time had by all. Quick minty find.

CPwanderer, GoodLook and I headed off for a weekend in Port Lincoln via an overnight stop in Whyalla
Our weekend was unexpectedly extended by a day due to illness and so my tally at the end of the 'weekend' was 168 cache finds
Sadly this was marred by a massive 28 DNFs
Port Lincoln, despite being virgin caching territory for all 3 of us, did not provide us with the pleasure that we had anticipated
So many of the caches were bison tubes and those that we did find, quite often were in places where a larger cache could have been hidden The other issue was the lack of maintenance on many caches
There are people trying their best to maintain the 'wheres wolly' cache hides however their resources are stretched thinly..... so if you are heading over, please pack heaps of cache maintenance containers, bags and log books and help out where you can. [^]
That being said, the trip was still a blast and some great caches were found and great views were seen!
Roaming Wendy very kindly came out with us for the rest of today and as a result, our find count increased as did the laughter in the car
Thank you for your company [^]

We found this cache which was great as we feel like we have been there and back, as a result of all the DNFs here in Port Lincoln

TNLN. SL. TFTC wheres wolly

Woo hoo, we found it!

After messaging Roaming Wendy, she graciously joined us and jumped in our car in order to cache around Lincoln with us (as we'd not been having much fun with all of the DNFs).

Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache, with the aim of the weekend to cache in and around Port Lincoln - fresh territory for us all. We certainly had a great time, however with a DNF rate of about 40% [:(!], it was tough going! We did however thoroughly enjoy the beautiful locations and scenery.

After joking all day on the Sunday we should spend another night in Pt Lincoln, circumstances presented that meant we needed to extend our time away! We took it slowly on the way home which enabled us to once again visit some terrific places

Thanks for the cache

Found with GoodLook and LocusCache!! Thanks wheres wolly for the hide!!

Felt a bit conspicuous but found it fairly quickly

Thanks for the cache

Good hide thanks

cache all good

Found at 2.45pm all good t GZ Took muggle 6 year old Shantel for a walk after a wet and cold weekend. TFTC

Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1605. Our third day in Port Lincoln. Today, we cached our way around the local area again. Weather further improved, with only a couple of light showers today. Found it ok after a brief search. Our thanks to wheres wolly.

Found at 4:02 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M&P".
The drivers here are so careful when crossing the railway line. They stop fully and have a real good hard look left and right before crossing. We thought that you could just have a look while rolling along - but no you have to stop fully.
Thanks wheres wolly.

Rock on.

Took a little while but found it....

Quick find

3:26:00 PM. A quick find by the better half as we were out looking around. Signed log. Thanks wheres wolly for placing this cache.

Day eleven of my holidays, just caching around the outskirts of Point Lincoln. There were some wins and some losses, but generally wins. The wins were generally easy, and the losses, well, too hard for me to find. Another quickie.

My thanks to wheres wolly for the cache.

1st for the day and a quick find after waiting in the van for a while for the muggles to leave and give us a chance to search.
The last cache to be found in Port Lincoln before heading to Coffin Bay. So goodbye and thanks for all the caches. We didn't make much of a mark on them this trip so I guess we'll have to come back some time. Thanks.

Fast find

Quick stop

Thanks

We are staying in the Lincoln National Park for a week doing some 4WDing and caching today on the 'rest day'.

Quick grab on our afternoon run - I am sure I have found this one before. TFTC.

had us thinking a bit when we stumbled upon it
found with Firesafe on our Pt Lincoln 4wd journey

Aaahh love kid's sneaky - can be understand why he put there - good one. Signed the log. Thanks wheres wolly.

Found the first place I looked.
Lots heavy trucks driving close by so had to wait to replace.
TFTC

Being a child at heart we quickly located this one
tftc wheres wolly

We mustn't have been very sneaky kids when we were little as it took us a little while to find the hide. We must have been thinking too much like geocaching adults but at least we got there, not sure if we could ever go back.
Thanks again where wolly for the cache

A few muggles drove past...Mr Bushies2 finally found it after a short search but waited a while before he put it back. Thanks again.

Our final cache of the day and not really keen to spend too long here. The difficulty rating was putting us off but thankfully luck was on our side and we found it quickly. Now time for bed.

#1 of 30 found on this glorious day. We went caching on the coast and ended in the city.. TFTH

Was worried as the little kid ones are usually out of left field.
While it was a little I managed to find it fairly quickly.
TFTC

Found on a mixed bag of a day caching in Port Lincoln. Cache found easily enough but not sure what the hint meant.

And back again. And over there. And found the cache. Lots of slater beetles too.

HE was looking where the slaters were. But it was over there. Here, not there! Clear skies. Toot.

[blue]Over to Port Linclon for our 2nd Anniversary Weekend from Adelaide[/blue]
[green]Numerous great finds out and about today, this being one of those, thanks for all the great hides[/green]
Only adults out finding, so deployed the kid instinct, and bingo, got it..

[red]Gayle & Mark[/red]

TFTC ...thought like a kid!!

This was our 3902nd overall find.

Found at 4:45 PM. Found today with no issues in around 30 seconds. After reading the cache description and the hint before typing my log I'm not sure what the hint was supposed to offer but I suppose we didn't need it!

Thanks wheres wolly for the cache.
