No Junk Mail Orrvale, Victoria, Australia
By cluelesscouple on 10-Apr-10. Waypoint GC26G4V

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

When I first saw this puzzle, I was a little stumped.
Contacted the adopting CO for a clue, and my original idea was confirmed, but I was still nowhere nearer to the solution.
Eventually I took my time and all fell into place.
With the correct co-ordinates, it was now time to go find the cache.
Fortunately it was dry so I managed to hang on and retrieve it. cache was found in perfect condition - log signed and cache replaced as found.
It's an awesome puzzle, and I like the fact that the hide was in a muggle-free location.
Thanks, cluelesscouple and kamikaze cacher, for keeping this puzzle cache active!

Replaced cache container.

Have adopted cache from owner, waiting for application to be processed

Please do not archive

thanks

Have taken over cache maintenance from clueless couple, will replace on next day off (thursday)

thanks

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, therefore 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 by 20th May 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.

Time to go. Cacher no longer active. Cache has failed.

Planing a trip to Shepparton and it looks like the cache scene around here is suffering, with a lot of caches not logged in a long time (possibly missing) and CO's that are not returning messages.

Not sure if we should bother to solve or look for this one. Please advise.

Worked out this puzzle and was disappointed to see it hasn't been found for ages, but is still active.
Maybe the reviewer needs to get onto it

If this cache isn't there, and the owners are not interested in fixing the situation, perhaps it needs archiving.

On my bike ride around Shep today I ended up at the end of my paper round
As a youngster I was set loose delivering flyers for something or other for pocket money [:o]
Yeah! I can understand the slipping 2 flyers into every letter box bit to get rid of them quicker
I have since learnt the error of my childhood ways
Nothing good comes of cheating

Down by the riverside this morning I couldn't find any Junk Mail tossed carelessly into the bushland.
Maybe it all got delivered ? [:o]

I searched high and low, but it looks like there may have been more mud deposited around GZ between November and February.

Ah well !!
A DNF I deserve I suppose

Headed out this arvo to complete some maintenance for Clueless Couple... Replaced container, dropped of some TB's and headed home... Hour later had an oh crap moment when I couldn't find the phone... Luck have it finally found it down side of car seat....
ALL GOOD TO GO AGAIN

Out and about with DazRascal today picking up our solved Shep puzzles, but this one was not to be.

We arrived at GZ with our lunch to find more fishermen nearby, Big Ez tried to slip into stealth mode when once of the men fishing yells out "Are you looking for that Geo thing?"
SPRUNG!

Anyway, he informs us that he's a regular and the cache hasnt been there for months.
We of course checked for ourselves, but yep, its gone.
We will keep an eye on this one and be back to try again another time. A nice spot none the less.
Cheers!

Found while out caching with my partner Rebel Acts, I was almost rolling on the floor as Rebel Acts retrieved this one, I was sure he was going to go swiming, he looked like he had a mud bath, glad he had a change of clothes in the car.Thanks for the fun.

Found with Crazy! Nat girl, we were in town for a dance comp and a few caches of course. The effort to solve this faded away compared with the effort to retrieve it, a little sliperry is a understatement, Nat waited by the edge as I made my way alond, I tried to walk along the log to keep out of the mud but that was just as slippery, in the end I ended up on my belly, I was scared I was going to drop the cache in the water, oh the mud and slime that covered it was just so nice on my hands, I guess it shows how water proff these containeres are, I remember my late mate dak got a call from a fisherman who had fished a cache out of the bay while out fishing, it was perfectly dry inside. getting it back in place was an even bigger challenge but we got there in the end. Thanks cluelesscouple for the cache.

I rather enjoyed this puzzle and it was the easier of the 2 locals puzzles that I prepared before coming up here last night.
I cottoned on quickly to what needed to be done but it took me a while to get the resources needed to solve it.
I was quite surprised when evince agreed with me first go.
The walk to GZ was interesting.
Slippery was an understatement. An ice rink if I've ever seen one. Should have ended up in the drink..twice
Grabbed 2 coins that had been here a while too.
Thanks to Cluelesscouple for this one

Cache is ok but GZ is still quite slippery!

Unfortunately with recent rain upstream the area is flooded. Will check it out when it dries out.

Finally found it after a few wrong turns in the solving of the puzzle. The cache was in a very nice location.
Thank you Clueless Couple for the cache.

Since I found this cache to be such a good one I decided to drop in couple of coins on my way past today

Enjoyed solving this puzzle, takes me back a few years to when I was a paper boy delivering the Shepparton adviser. Funny enough route 41 was included in my weekly Wednesday ritual. The money like Geogeorge found out, was poor and it didn’t take too long for me to get sick and tired of it.
Congratulations to Cluelesscouple on their 1st cache, looking forward to many more.
Thanx for a brilliant cache

Despite triple checking, a typographical error occured after a last minute change, all fixed now. Sincerest Apologies

Well this was a most exciting time as I read the emails this evening and discovered a new cache in Shepparton! The first one for close to 2 years I reckon. My brain hurt too much after my first day back at work from holidays so it was not until GeoJnr and GeoTilly were pushing up ZZZzzzz's in bed that I had a better look. Worked out what was required and really enjoyed the puzzle that I wish I had thought of it myself. A call from Rubik confirmed that we were all on the same path that we decided to head out and claim our prize this evening. A great puzzle cluelesscouple and nice to see a nice large ammo can in the wild again and some scratchies for the FTF and STF to boot.
The name of the cache made me think back a few years ago when I was still living at home with the parents and my brother and sister. We had a friend called Rob (not Rubik though) that ran the Dial-A-Dino Pizza franchise in Shepparton. Remember those? Damn fine pizzas. Anyway, we had this crazy cat called Boots that could be a bit over affectionate at times and if he wanted a pat and you were ignoring him he would do his best to grab your attention such as clawing your thigh or having a slash on your leg (can I say that? It as after 9:30pm). Well we ordered pizzas one night and Rob delivered them to us. All was going well until Rob made the fatal mistake of ignoring Boots. Boots wandered off for a few seconds and then you could hear this almighty gallop and a flash of fur as Boots scaled Rob's leg, thigh, back and then clung to his neck licking his ear. The look on Rob's face was priceless as Boots sat on his shoulder like some bizarre parrot. Rob never ignored Boots after that, then again I don't think he came back out. I think he moved to North Melbourne soon after. Odd. Sorry, I digress.
Anyway, I told you that story to tell you this one. As a young lad I was a bit like GeoGeorge but our interests where a little different back then. When I was his age caching meant loitering out the front of people's houses and staring in windows...actually I think that was called stalking. Moving on. Back in 1982 Commodore released the duck's guts of home computers...the powerful Commodore 64 and I had to have one. The Vic-20 had served me well but I needed the raw power of 64K (38911 basic bytes free). I took on delivering Dial-A-Dino pamphlets (see there was a link after all). I lost count of the number of km's walked (it might have been chains back then) and the number of pamphlets delivered but eventually I came up with the cash. It was not a bad job but there was a fly in the ointment so to speak early on in the piece when an irate householder called Rob (the Dial-A-Dino dude, I am not sure what the guy's name was) and abused him for having pamphlets dropped into his letter box and that he clearly had 'NO UNSOLICITED MAIL' on his letter box. Now at the age of 12 I was lucky to write my own name let alone know what unsolicited meant. I thought I am not a solicitor, I am just a kid! Anyway, needless to say for the next few years this gent continued to receive many, many pamphlets and brochures via my hand. Everything I could find except for the Bras and Things catalogs because I needed them for research purposes. OK, I must go it is getting late and I am keeping you up plus I need to deliver some junk mail. Cheers.

Ah Corey, funny stuff. I can't compete with that. I never told you that Amy used to work at Bras n Things and has plenty of detailed stories that are almost as good as reading the catalogue. Anyhow, back to the log. As Corey mentioned, it has been a long time between caches in the Shepparton area and I've almost forgotten what it's like to dash at to chase a FTF. I was a bit slow off the mark tonight too, I spent a couple of hours working around the house and then went off to do some shopping. I only saw there was a new cache at 8pm and got stuck into trying to solve it! After a couple of twists and turns I finally got the green light on the checker.

I really liked the method for solving this one; it's clever, well planned out and very original. On top of that, there was a whopping great ammo can awaiting us at the end of the adventure tonight. This cache ticks a lot of boxes and I hope your future caches are this good.

BTW, less than a metre from GZ we saw a huge redback devouring a centipede, so please watch where you put your hands folks!

Thanks again for bringing back a bit of adventure to caching in Shepparton,

R + C - B
