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.

The cache "The Cache of the Sandgate Pier" .
Our "Needs Maintenance" log, from 11/08/15, is now well over 28 days old and the CO has not responded.
Could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the owner.

Hi there Skeptimite,

Your cache "The Cache of the Sandgate Pier" was last found on 4/03/2015, 160 days ago, and has had 18 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Being a Dr Who fan from way back (since B&W TV days with William Hartnell as the 1st Dr Who!), I thought I'd find as many as I could in the Monster Lane series this afternoon. Only had a half-hearted look as I wasn't too hopeful of finding it because of all the previous DNFs. Sure enough, didn't find it. But I'll come back after the CO has checked it out.
 
03-Jun-15
CO Check please
 
09-May-15
No luck. Had a good hunt around but nothing.

Looked and looked. Wonder if it has been muggled.
 
13-Apr-15
Need a further clue as too overgrown and too big an area to search
 
12-Apr-15
Rick and I looked and looked.
I climbed in things, on things, over things, around things.
Much evidence of Muggles breaching the area, but no cache.
There have been a few logs of did not find now, you might want to check this one out.
 
02-Apr-15
No luck for us today.

Our First DNF as part of a 24hour cache run Twisted with 5 other kiwi's while at the OZMEGA2014 Murray Bridge (Alpenmilch80, Slieschke, Vistra, Yorkshirekiwi83 & funkymunkyzone) on Friday 18th April. All logs were signed as "NZ Fun"

We had a great time and throughly enjoyed the challenge that this presented to us all, thank you to the cache owners for being able to create such a range of caches for us to complete.

We started our run at Signal, through to OZ MEGA 2014, The Wandering Hero's, Tour de France with many other caches along the way. For all that we managed we only had 11 DNF's in the whole trip which for the numbers was pretty amazing in its own right.

So again thank you for the NZ FUN Cool

No luck despite a search today. Thank you for the day out caching.
 
30-Mar-15

Enjoying the walk between Shorecliff and Sandgate before going home.
Visited some trackables.
 
04-Feb-15
On a morning walk picked up this cache today. TFTC
 
02-Feb-15
Third attempt yielded a result. Dunno how we missed that one twice. Swapped a couple of items.

Little miss 5 with us today so not a very long walk. Our mission for today .... get to the playground just up ahead. Quickly nipped in and picked up this cache before heading around the bend to the playzone! Big GrinBig Grin
 
22-Jan-15
Didn't think we were going to find it before getting eaten alive by mozzies, when suddenly one of my boys found it! Added an item to the cache, as nothing much in there. Great day for geocaching

Today spinna76, *SuzySquirrel*, MinkosDes and I decided we would bike it in the sweltering, stifling, sticky heat to grab some little Monsters among other things. I hope you excuse my copy and paste logs and our logging as S.S.S.M.

Whilst trying to avoid the view of the local fisherman the team all went in for the find. It was not before long that the nice sized cache was in hand. We all signed the log and had a look over the cache before placing it back home.

This cache was part of *SuzySquirrel*, Stacevel, spinna76 and I's sweaty adventure of Monster Lane today. After getting an invite from the team to join them on an adventure down to the Big Smoke, I was excited (as I am anytime a cache is involved). I was even more excited to hear that it was to concur the ever so famous [xx(] Monster Lane Razz. Back in July 2014, I started this great trail with Fairy Mother and we started it on foot, that's right, foot! We grabbed the first half of the trail and ended our great walk at the bay. Well, today may have felt like cycling in an oven though doing it on bikes, compared to foot, is just awesome. Plus, the company was alright too... Wink

Thanks for the cache Skeptimite. Big Grin

#904 @ 3:01 PM Out caching with Stacevel, *SuzySquirrel* and MinkosDes today doing Monster Lane and other caches along the way. Logging as I'm going so I apologise for copy paste logs. Logged as S.S.S.M. ~ TFTC AquaMan_Au Smile

We had a good go but no luck.
 
16-Dec-14
Out for a morning's caching to finally make a start on Monster Lane and this was my starting point. Took a little bit of searching but once I looked at the D/T rating it helped narrow the search area and the cache was soon in hand. Picked up a TB.
 
14-Dec-14
Dammit! First DNF.
 
08-Dec-14
After a visit to the new children's hospital today, we thought we'd stop and get a cache or two before heading back home (and before the storm hit).
We parked up at Shorncliffe pier and headed North. This was our first find and was nice and easy for Mr 7. Dropped off a TB looking to head to Darwin.
May need a new log soon.
TFTC.

My three month Brisbane adventure has started. Day 18, Redcliffe, fourth full day.

Mum's wanting to sort out her house prior to selling up and moving, and she's going to work on her bedroom today, so there's nothing for me to put out for her. So today I get an easy day - the GeoSchnauzers and I are off geocaching again. I've put the emergency call button on Mum's wrist. I've now collected the GeoSchnauzers, gallons of ice water, my caching kit, and my hat. It's a cooler and cloudier day than yesterday, with a promise of a good breeze around noon. Today we're heading for the waterfront at Sangate and Shorncliff.

No 4 of 11 today. Thanks, Skeptimite. Good natural hide for such a big cache. Well done. I like a challenge. This one took us a while, but as the pier is closed for restoration, there weren't too many muggles around. The GeoSchnauzers had a quiet time, except for the odd seagull.

We did this geocache on the impulse of the moment. Didn'thave a pen with us to write. We saw the blue colour - might be good to disguise colour to fit in with surroundings Smile) Lovely walk, though. Thanks! X

TFTC, Recovered and returned. A huge cache and I think I almost stepped on it in my search. That was fun! A few items traded for my token Magic: The Gathering cards. Yay to big troves, perfect for the kids and adults alike. A nice grab along monster lane, although not sure if the lane or this one was her first!
 
22-Oct-14
Found it real good!

With my sister and her Matt and our kids love day

I had wanted to start the Monster Lane series for a while and today was the day. Whistling Kite and I brought our bikes and after going in search for the local earth cache (for International Earth Cache Day) we set out to find a few caches along the foreshore, ML along with various other caches. It was a splendid day, albeit a bit windy, and we enjoyed our ride.

This one not being part of the ML series was still worthwhile of course. I love the fact that there are so many caches on the foreshore. This was a relative easy find and it was closely guarded by a very quiet and friendly guardian.
