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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

I went out to check on this one but it is missing. Nothing remains of the cache, the container or the log.

Out this way to do another cache and seeing that the TB had not been moved on thought to pick it up and move it on. Got to GZ and only found a lid, devoid of all clips and all 4 clips on the ground. No base, log or TB to be found. Expanded a search but no luck. Foul play? - one would hope not.
 
04-Oct-12
Dropped off TB.

Nice to get out into the bush. But I forgot my Marvin stamp, so some local fauna provided the print. TFTC.

2 of the clicky tabs have broken off the container, so it could get damp in there. Might want to replace it.

I had worked out the final co-ordinates a long time ago and as I was going out that way I thought I would get this one too. A nice easy find in the end. TFTC.

Nice to see a letter box in the bush. The calcs worked a treat so was nice to see this one in the mail bag.

Thanks to jatricia and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Yes loves your stamps - which I choose mmm pick one and stamp on the log. Thanks Jatricia.
 
Wow!! Don't know how I missed this one after wanting to do it for ages. Found with my sweetheart Schatzsuche Smile

Had a few hiccups getting to GZ after a blunder with the final coords load and then when we got that right the GPSr had us going from side to side. Got there in the end and I went mad and stamped everyones hand Red Face

Thanks for the fun Big Grin

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Good Friday was a great day to do this cache as there was nobody around. I had collected digits using this method before, so it didnt take us long to find the relevant numbers. We programmed them in incorrectly at first (Our mistake) before correcting them for a trip later in the day.
At first the GPS lead us to the wrong side of the road, then it pointed us to a more likely spot and we found the cache. We enjoyed at and found a few other caches in the area at the same time.
Thanks for some fun

Still can't work out how this one is not a mystery cache but in any case glad to have another letterbox to the name.

Yesterday I had no idea how to work this one out but looking again last night it came to me, so this afternoon a quick visit had the required info and we were off.

Sounded like we were going to Eminem land but no, into the saltbush we went and a cache soon in hand. Thanks!

Cool Did this one today during a caching excursion in and around Whyalla.Cool

Yahoo - my first ever Letterbox Cache. As I am not a letterboxer I don't have a stamp, but I did leave a few drawings behind as my "stamp". Enjoyed doing this one - great clues - would have made any multi cache proud! Wink

What a great idea! Excellent fun. TFTC

Neat idea for getting the unknown numbers.
But when I tried to get to the GZ I calculated it seemed to be over 200 metres from a dirt road, over a barbed wire fence.
Didn't seem right to me.
Is that where it is?
 
19-Aug-10
Those revised coords are much better!
I'd taken a stamp with me on my first try but left it behind this time - I'll return sometime and add it.
Instead of a stamp I drew a big FTF smilie.
Thanks for the FTF tag and a new type of cache, jatricia.
