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.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Washington Anchor"

We looked before we realised there was already a NM on this cache (which is well over 28 days old).
Could you please temporarily disable the cache to prevent it from showing up in search lists?

Regards

Ian & Penny

Please check

Mmmm is the cache still around !!!

May want to check if it's still there

DNF

Found with ferret52.TFTC!

Found on a trip to Pt Lincoln. TFTC

Tfc

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!

We found this cache

TNLN. SL. TFTC wheres wolly

Easily located!!1 Thanks wheres wolly for the hide!!
This was one of the caches found on a three day odyssey on the Eyre Peninsula! Myself, GoodLook and locuscache had never cached south of the Cowell/Cleve area so we had high hopes of some great caching. We worked our way down through Port Neil and Tumby Bay and grabbed those along the highway plus a few a little further afield.
Our time in and around Port Lincoln was frustrating. Lots very small micros, lots of very rusty tins and more dnfs than ive ever had in a day before this. We were very fortunate that local cacher , Roming Wendy joined as. Her expert knowledge of the town certainly helped. A medical issue had us stay a third day. This worked out very well as we could do some relaxed caching on our way home.
A special thanks to Roming wendy for her help and to those who hid caches in the area … particularly the Geo-Ambos, Wheres Wolly and Viper231. Special thanks also to my “mildly obsessive” caching buddies on this trip …………………………… amazing fun!!

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

Foxy lady is an armchair logger.

Tttf

Yes got it

This is the 1st of 3 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 10:44:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.

Ian and Penny

had a really good search, it is still insitu?

Out caching the other day but only just getting to log, Sorry. Thanks for the cache

Good hide thanks

Looked everywhere I thought it might be but just couldn't find it.

Out and about with &0thers off to an early start for a touring day. Needed to get the permit from the info centre. Had a spare moment while waiting for mr X we checked this one out. Found ok but had a little trouble getting it out. Thanks for the cache

Thank you for the cache, we were with xambo4u.

Found it just in time before it rained with 07mintys help. Lots of muggles around. Thankyou for the cache.

Found it with sarz22 so many muggles on a Wednesday morning . We solved it with all your cryptic messages

Staying in Tumby Bay for a few days we set off finding the caches around here cleaning up a lot of unfounds from previous trips, found easy enough as we are starting to get use to your hide style : ) TFTC

Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1035. 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. Another familiar kind of hide, found after a brief search. Our thanks to wheres wolly.

Found at 10:33 AM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M&P".
I went on one side and David went the other and he was successful while I could only smell dog poo and needed to get out of there quickly [xx(]
Thanks wheres wolly.

Very sneaky, few muggles around but i had stealth

A very full car park today , lucky you could hide behind the cars while looking. We checked out the Anchors on the fence line at the back of the hotel, Awesome very well done. Easy find TFTC

[Blue]# 10704 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Another perfect spring day for a drive around town while in Port Lincoln for a few days.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.

Thanks for the cache wheres wolly,

Tftc found last time in lincoln and didnt log

Made this one way harder than we needed to.
Luckily we parked the van to hide our search from the many muggles in the area.
Expected to meet some spiders here but were surprised by the number of snails that call the area around GZ home.
Thanks.

Easy but hard

Took my 3 attempts at this. Bad effort for an obvious one.

Muggles muggles muggles!

Gd hide

Found on our second attempt SL TFTC

Looked for this last night, to no avail. Using the terrain rating, it was no-where to be seen!
Came back this morning while my Bestie was over the shops and found it after PAFing a previous finder.
Dfinately NOT a 1 star terrain. I'd like to see a wheelchair bound person reach that one! Cache creep, or the rating needs to be at least 1.5 star terrain?
Thanks, on our way now...

Found

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Staying at the Port Lincoln caravan park, while caching in the area.
The cache was found quickly, thanks for the hunt today, wheres wolly.

No amount of ferreting about in the bush helped me locate this one! Has it been moved?

Found after been quizzed by the bottle-I man

TFTC

Walked down to Coles from my accommodation. Stopped to log this find. Thanks wheres wolly.

Good drinking place

was away for the weekend, what else is there to do but shout out to the locals and go a caching

thankfully there was a extrator tool to get the cache out

apolagies for the late log, have been busy on the farm and with life

704

Maintenance check for where's wolly. All good.

Easy find

Easy find

Easy find

Only found it with the help of some handy knowledge from my friends!

Found it while getting some drinks nearby. Have had many a drunken night at this establishment, thanks for the cache

Picked up a cache and some drinks at the same time.

Did not have long to look

Found easily after a great meal nearby tftc

Tftc - easy find

Quick find

Found it next to some spider webs

Number two for the night

Nice easy find, parked in front of this one many times.

We searched way too long for this one. Given the number of other D NFs I wonder if it really is an easy level find.

To think I parked in front of this for ages, Nice quick find.

Searched twice and could not find.

Too many muggles

Thanks again for the cache wheres wolly found nice and easy

598. Nope. Not even using the clue could help us out.

Hint tipped it for me. Easy one - same approach as a recent one in Adelaide. Extreme muggle action though - caution needed. TFTC

hi all i have checked this cache and the cache is there safe and sound take care travel safely happy caching i checked this cache yesterday cheers.

No luck for me today ! I was having a good look when a car door opened right next to me - and I hadnt even noticed the gent sitting about two metres away watching me scratching thru bushes and pulling fences apart....ooops. I made up some silly treasure hunting story, but i think he just thought I was a weirdo. Mind you he didnt leave, so I had too, DOH.

Seemed an odd place for a cache. We weren't able to find it, including in what seemed the hinted location. Might require a cache check by the owner. Cheers Gav

DNF although there were caps on the ground

TFTC.

Maybe I am missing something cause we could not see it. Found a sealable bag with nothing in it so could have been picked up by Muggles, but I could also be just missing it. If the next hunter does not find it, perhaps a maintenance entry should be logged for it to be checked.

A quick find. TFTC

Well I found it this time.
Knew it would be there and it was.
Better in the daylight.

Found during a trip to Port Lincloln in the school holidays. Thanks for the cache wheres wolly!

If we didn't have the kids might have stopped off for a quick drink! Great spot!

Another good hide spot - alot of snail there gosh... signed the log. Thanks wheres wolly.

Another great cache.
TFTC

Quick grab while in town. TFTC

Easy find on a first days caching in Port Lincoln
tftc wheres wolly

We attempted this one on the first day we arrived however we didn't search properly because we needed to do some shopping. Then
afterwards we met the owner a few days later and we got a bit of hint from him....finally Mr Bushies2 found it. Thanks wheres wolly.

I know how you hide these, found the tell tale line of evidence but there was nothing at the end of the line...

Finnaly, after three attempts.

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching
