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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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.

No response from owner, perhaps needs archiving

As per maintenance log

Pretty sure this one is not there, had a look but no luck and with all the DNF posts I figure it has been cleaned up. Owner of cache also does not seem to have logged on for a long time, so this one might be a lost cause?

Grovelled around for hours, looking for magnetic and not magnetic, and anything else we could find, but no joy here tonight.

After spending a good hour scratching around in the dark by torch light on both sides of the fence & extensive phoning a friend we couldn't claim a smiley:((( I have put it on my watch list so will keep an eye on it...

3rd trip back and still haven't located. Seemed to look everywhere.

TB Visit =)

We went the wrong way to start with but got there in the end. TFTC.

now.. which way to approach this one?? Inside the park or outside the park?? Coords pretty spot on with this on, so a quick find. Container is not magnetic

Geopartner and Izdog were saying hello to all the other canines over the fence. This was my third attempt and bingo. It's not magnetic. Scoped with google earth and did from memory. Thanx

Great place for Monty our geo pup to explore!! Tftc

Found after a couple of minutes searching. There was a dog in the adjacent area - or was it a horse?? It was huge. TFTC

Easiest find yet. Gps very accurate

A quick find but had to dodge muggles.

The clue did not help good thing the co-ords are good.

No TB.

Nice area.

TFTC SA_CacheHunter

Found it without the hint. But I can see how the neigbour is curious as to why ppl are scratching around near his house at that metal box!

Thanks, good idea for a park

Well, I am always being told of the dangers of making assumptions, and the hint had me assuming again!! Still, after exchanging pleasantries with a couple of dog walkers I finally came up with the goods. Thanks SA CacheHunter.

Such a busy dog park! Have tried a few times with the new puppy but today we were lucky that we had the place to ourselves for a few minutes! On the cache hunt with Trail06 - fun times! TFTC

Great find by JustInKache while joining them for a walk with the beautiful geopup. Thanks for a great cache!

Found this cache on after only a little bit of searching. Great container!!

TFTC

Found [8] with family members

Man its great to have this one ticked off... Rang a life line on this one.. but they must of not wanted to talk to me as the MUTED! their phone.. lol but I did get a bit from the call..

Yep its not magnetic.. but it sure does help the find thinking that...

Its really not as hard as first thought just spend the time around that area

TFTC

Got a clue from external sources to which side of the fence it was, checked all the metal places without luck.
Lucky I uncovered it but where I went wrong was that I was looking for a metal magnet not a rock magnet.
Damn dogs and their muggle owners make this harder than it really is.

Third visit here, glad to get another smiley face on the map, nearly gave it a favourite. Would have got a favourite if the hint was not so deceptive.
TFTC SL

Found! Well kittyKat did, this was my second go at it so I'm so happy to have another smiley around here.TFTC, TMJ from Team Task Master

After a bit of scratchin around.... And barkin' up the wrong trees.... Climbing both ways over the fence... And an SOS call to locus cache.... Who threw us off the scent anyway.... I finally had this cache in MY hands!
It sure was well hidden!!!!!
It's definitely still there!
Another find accompanied by TMJ just before the rains set in!

Second time to the park and got disturbed once again, seems quite a while since last find. Is it still present?

Second time at the park for a better look..

But still no find..

Will wait till others find I think.

My 90th locus cache! Took a while for park to be empty & last 2 muggles are now going home to google geocaching SL. TFTH squeaky72.
Hint: this is NOT magnetic and it is also NOT a mint tin anymore! However the assumption it was magnetic, gave me the find.

After seeing squeaky had replaced this I went for another look, as squeaky doesn't understand the concept of a 1.5star defiantly I could not find it, I'll look again another day

If at first you don't succeed. And you go back again and again? Replace it with a new one that you have on you.

Great location for a hide.
Replaced with a new logbook.

When there is a few DNF's on any of my caches I tend to go out and check. Unless it's a really good hide. Lol .

From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C

No luck for me either, might be worth checking

We couldn't find it...even with lava12 because she knew where it was hidden but nothing. Thanks.

After taking the dog to get her stitches out after another expensive operation, I thought we'd go for a walk at the park. Had a chat with others walking their pooches then quickly retrieved the cache.

By the way, no travel bugs in this one...

nice quick find after getting extra hint from ttrogg, dogs and muggles on other side today so that made it easier
TFTC

Finally off to the one I had planned for after work. Had previously had a quick look but place was inhabited by dogs and their muggles. Not being a dog owner had decided it had to be nite job. Had trouble getting a good fix but after much head scratching, pondering of hint? (not to mention walking around fences) finally spotted it.
TFTC

Well I needed a laugh today AND when TK2 found the cache, it was wet....AND there were male dogs nearby in the park....Need I say more? Some people are good sports aren't they?

Well true to form, this placement was yellow or somewhat of that liquid color for me, the things one will do to get a find,tftdoggyc

Found using the hint. Nice quick find.

Thank you for the cache SA CacheHunter.

Mr and Mrs Fluffy

My name is now in the log book.

Came with replacement but not much use because I couldn't find the cache. Turned over nearly every twig, branch and rock after searching the fence several times. BooHoo! TFT hunt SA Cachehunter - no doubt it's there and I'm just missing something obvious.

A mint tin. Not one of my favourite container types. But I keep looking for them .
One of the previous logs gave me a big help in finding it. No puppies here today - too wet and miserable.
Plastic bag inside is a little worse for wear, but didn't have a spare. Must remember to take such things with me in future.

Didn't bring the dogs today, but they would have loved search for this one. TFTC SA_CacheHunter

Quick find this morning with only a couple of dogs and their pet humans around. TFTC

Think we got the right date for this one as we forgot to log it at the time. Jaffa the geomutt enjoys these park (and provides a great distraction/cover when retrieving caches ).

TFTC

A quick easy find late at night by Pa Kettle and the Kettle Twins

No one about so a quick find!! TFTC

An easy find behind some bushes. Glad there were no muggle puppies watching.

Nice area and we found the cache after a short search. thanks SA_CacheHunter

next visit perhaps!

Another cache for today that was our second attempt, this time there were no muggles in play to stop our attempt. Another find to geoD for the day as geoP was too intent on the GPSr.

TNLN SL TFTC

Lots of dogs being exercised this evening.

A dog tried to lick me. Very friendly. Luckily there was a wire barrier. Clear skies.

We had had a very brief look for this one on a very busy doggy afternoon with no luck so we came back today and were met with more success. Only a couple of pets and their people and they were too busy with growling pets to notice us. A quick sign and we were on our way. TFTC!

Easy find today. Kids had the dogs here for a good play, and spent about an hour running around with them. All involved had a ball.

Still fail to see the necessity for PMO caches.

Looking for magnets didnt help us this time, we found it laying on the floor with no idea where it should be, put it as we found it. Thanks.

Lot's og muggle dogs and their owners in attendance today, so we walked on by and did not attempt the find.

#342 No muggles at all - at least none of the dog variety. The rubbish man did turn up to empty the bins but by then the cache was in hand and he was far away when it was returned. I was concerned we were on the wrong side of the fence (which often seems to be the case) but we weren't. Thanks SA_CacheHunter.

After seeing a few muggles Mrs came up with a cover story of Mr loosing his ring as a plausible reason for being at dog park with no dog.
The ring was found and so was the Cache!

Found and returned while avoiding a constant stream of muggles on both sides of the fences. TFTC

Arrrghhh ..muggles muggles muggles..... easy to pick up the cache.. but severely muggled out when i tried to return it... but a quick decoy and cache was safely back in it's location!

Find 1048
# 1045 The Old BFE Style Without a GPS.
Found in the drizzly rain.
Thanks to whatever name you are this week for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere.

TFTC, No muggles. get to GZ down they all came and stopped right in front of us. Sigh. had to be patient and strike at the right time lol.

Lucky for me as I got the park to myself. Found it eventually.
Thanks SA_CacheHunter for the cache.

Found with muggle Hayden on pleasant dog walking day. Magnetic clue convinced us it was elsewhere but trusted the compass and GPS map it give us a general direction and area. TFTCSL.

Quick easy find TFTC

Not many walkers in the park and they were at the far end anyway .

A nice park for the dogs, and I loved the village feel of the houses around the village green, oh and Chugger says I have to say hi to Maxie who he met there - TFTC

Took a while and a lot of waiting for geopets and owners between searches. Finally found and logged TFTCSL

What a great park for the dogs SL TFTC

Another DNF today - bugger!

TFTC

Found in the dark without a torch to help.
I used my mobile for a bit of light and accidentally sent the wife a photo from my phone, several times.
The log was empty >>>>>>>>> FTF, unfortunately it seems I was Fourth To Find. TFTC

Thanks folks. Now I can chalk it up as an FTF!!

On site 15mins after publication, at 7:15pm. But the log contains an entry of a FTF dated 23Aug2010. ??? Will go back with my glasses this time, just to make sure.

Yep! Definately signed as FTF 8 days before publication by Team Nano.

Ill put a new log book in there tomorrow that was an old one.

Dennisc52 is FTF! If I can guess right this log was SA_CacheHunter's Cobblers Bridge Cache which was archived...........new cache - new log! Sorry Dennisc52. SA_CacheHunter please put new logs in new caches.

TFTC! Looks like actual 3rd to find just after 2100. TNLN
