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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache 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.

With all the previous DNF's I felt 'Not So Alone' logging a DNF here today (3 Dec 2017). Would have been nice to grab a possible TB to take to Tassie with me on the 21st of Dec 2017. Oh well, Muggles possibly must have taken a liking to this one [:o] TFTH anyways, Honey Badger Gang Smile

Team ICE on a two week geocaching trip in Australia. Our main target was the Red Centre Experience at Alice Springs but of course we did some caching in other places too. We drove from Adelaide to Alice Springs and then back. We saw lots of interesting and beutiful places like opal mines at Coober Pedy, Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta. Our rental travelled almost 6500km on gravel and tarmac roads. The weather was great, only on last day we got some rain.

All the caches logged as Team Ice, T-ice or Tice with kapeka, laalaa and Hiltsu. We had a great trip!

Today our trip continued from Port Augusta to Port Vincent. On a way we visited beautiful Weeroona Island, spend some time at Port Pirie, visited Moonta's himalayas and found many caches on the way.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!
 
18-Apr-17
Found it with TICE [Hiltsu, J&T, kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( South Australia and Northern Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

One last cache on our way to Port Augusta, after a long day of travel. How surprising to find one of these so close to the road. Sadly no trackables, they've probably all been taken to where we are going, the Mega at Alice Springs.
Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache.

Hi there Honey Badger Gang.

We found your cache **"Travel Bug Turnoff"** at 12:32:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15916).

We cached between Port Augusta and Wilmington today. On our trek we found a wide variety of container types. & ended up finding 11 caches with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape, but he whole area around GZ is covered with turds and toilet paper. [xx(]
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Travelling back home to Adelaide after a weekend in Whyalla, we decided to stop and check one. A quick find and sign... unfortunately a little too easy for an intended "safe" TB hotel style cache. We were sadly disappointed to find NONE of the SIX Trackables logged into the cache :c( It is very disheartening to see so many TBs go missing.... so all we can say now is... TFTC!

GoodLook very, very badly wanted to attend a special event, so who was I to tell her she was going overboard with geocaching [?] Wink
Instead we jumped into Harry on Friday for 2 days of adventure, accompanied by Laighside Legends, in Whyalla where fishingmad was holding an event on Saturday to christen his new boat..... 6km out in the gulfSurprisedCool[^]
We had a blast and it was huge fun showing GoodLook around parts of Whyalla that she hadn't seen before Big Grin I think her logs say it all! Cool
Today was a day of 3 DNFs Sad and 30 finds Smile

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Some people love TB Hotels Cool and some dislike them, fearing that it allows for easier muggling of multiple TBs Surprised
This one was in place and safe and sound so we just had to stop and find it Smile

A quick find with Locus Cache and Laighside Legends.

The loud and lovely Locus Cache [:X], the very clever Laighside Legends Cool and myself drove to Whyalla in Harry with the aim of this weekend being: to find a few caches, and attend the 5T boating/fishing & caching event.....AWESOME!! Big Grin [^]

There was fun, laughter Big Grin, silliness [:o)], tense moments, some creative driving (on road, off-road, dirt, sand, mud, water, tackling what could be described as a very steep and narrow bmx track...yep you heard me!) Cool, breath holding Surprised, kindness [:X], tight time schedules, ladder climbing, feet getting wet, dolphins, a boat, fish, nanos, ammos, sistema of all sizes and a number of mint tins. Surprisingly few DNFs. And LOTS of other mad crazy conversations and adventures. Gotta love caching and all of the fun it can be!! [:o)] CoolWinkRazzBig Grin [^]

Thanks for the cache Newbs Clan Smile
