Hi cnnhorne,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

Multiple logs of DNF or owner attention requested

Needs maintenance

After another cacher could not find it, they asked if I could check if it was still there. Today I checked after my ice skating lesson and couldnt find the cache (both containers). CO needs to replace the cache.

I was in the area, so thought Id check this one out too. No luck for me today.I had a good look Leonard Cohen style (among the garbage and the flowers). It looks like Ill need to bring along a Suzanne too, to show me where to look!

A great one to start the morning Geocaching ??

I am constantly here and found this cache last year. It badly needs some maintenance

Unfortunately didnt find it today. Will definitely be back for another try

This was a cache I found about 10 years ago and, as I was in the area, I thought I would revisit it. I also noted a recent photo of a TB but there was no indication on the cache page to that effect nor was there any mention in recent logs of anyone grabbing it so this became an opportunity to see if TB was still here. After a brief search I found a mint tin cache which was not the container I found all those years ago. It was also not where I remembered it to be, by about a metre or two. Hmmm. I picked up the mint tin only to find it was sitting on top of the original container. The mint tin was a throwdown! The throwdown log was almost pulp however the original container log was dry enough to be signed. I replace the original where I found it and removed the substitute. There was no TB here.

In town so headed for a few select nearby caches. Have to agree with previous logs. TFTC

Cache needs maintenance badly! I couldnt write on the log book properly. Paper so wet.

Found it after ice skating lessons! Log needs to be updated. Dont think the listing matches the cache. TFTC!

Awesome fun little one, brought a friend along with us for this one too. Little wet, logs could do with replacing.

Quick park and grab log was damp and container had no lid. TNLN TFTC

TFTC!

Got it

Found both containers, 1 has no lid and is drenched through, signed log that was dry, TFTC

Spent a day up around the Newcastle suburbs today. A beautiful sunny day to be caching.

Was passing by after three DNFs in the Cardiff area. DT here looked interesting so thought I'd stop and give it a couple of minutes; need to work on our T1 column so here I am. TFTC, cnnhorne.

Found both thank you

We SL both logs in the 2 cache containers we found at GZ. One was wet inside. OCW MaxAdventurer. TFTC cnnhorne

OCW EverestHigh. TFTC.

Quick find at GZ. Signed the log in the larger of the two containers here

Found. There were 2 caches, the original smaller one was saturated so couldn't sign. Signed the log of the bigger one.

Gotcha - Found with a bit of searching. Tftc

Log saturated. Impossible to write on.
Wrote on scrap of newspaper.
Will need a new log book and waterproof cache.

️

Very tricky little area, good hiding spot
We also left a sticker inside and replaced one of the bags so that log didn't get weather damaged

We, the Dutchies, went out with our friends Kev and Di for a great day-cruise on the Macquarie Lake.
After this we went on this place to get a yellow spot on our map in this area.

#9236 (9 of 9 today)I am gradually catching up with my logging - I'm missing two months worth or so. And that's over 100 caches! At least my most recent finds are up to date - just need to fill in the gap!To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, I just have to put my mind to my future goals... 25 per day? Owwww.Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###The Geowife is heading up for a day or two with a friend on the Central Coast so of course, being the thoughtful husband, I offered to drive her up.As an afterthought I decided I could snaffle a few caches while I was up here.Actually started at Mount Sugarloaf and then headed back south a little.Went for 9 caches and got them all.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###Quick and easy find as sunset approached and darkness began to descend.With people in the business nearby I took the cache back to *The Hademobile* to complete signing duties. Then back for the replace.Now for the long drive home.SLTNLNTFTC

I have been looking at the Unique Difficulty/Terrain challenge (GC54RAX) for ages. I have been working on a plan so that I can complete the 25 unique caches in one day and today (9/9/2022) was the day. I woke at 445am, drove over 220km and walked over 25K steps to complete this challenge. All caches were signed and in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.
Cache 20 of 25. Coordinates were good but as previous owners have said the log is missing. Needs some maintenance. TFTC

Needs a log.

Found it but the log is drenched and the lid is missing

Took us a while but we eventually found it

TFTC

Lid is missing and it is very damp

Here watching ice hockey game, log full signed as initials BW

Log full, log damp and no lid

Found relatively easy but the log is sopping wet, the lid of the tin is missing.

GG

Nan pa and Grace. Log wet

Easy find! TFTC. Log needs replacing as it is a bit wet!

Remove the hint if you don't want people to cheat

Easy find! Thankyou needs a new log for sure

After finishing family duties at 2.30 pm, I had until 5ish free. I always enjoy new caches, especially puzzles, as then I get to see them as the CO wanted them to be found, so I chose the new Numberphilic 6 geocaches and any others that caught my eye in the Hillsborough area.

Lots of traffic in the area, but at least the Ice Hockey venue near the cache was clear. Found very quickly, but the log and container have seen better days.

Thanks for the cache CNN Horne

The Cut n Paste bit: Today I set out to find 25+ caches with different D/T combinations, to qualify for "The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge" (https://coord.info/GC54RAX) and I'm pretty sure I was successful with 26 different combos, a few extra caches, and only 3 DNFs for the day.

Notes on this cache: I don't think anyone will mind if I pass on a little hint here - the cache is clearly on the grounds of the Ice Skating rink, so don't park on the wrong side of the fence in the neighbouring lot haha . So after I, you know, moved my car to allow for easier access to the cache, I spent a bit of time homing in on GZ, standing around playing games on my iPhone once or twice whilst muggles went by. I wasn't too long before I spotted something suspicious and had CIH. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC!

Took a lil bit

Found it

Found with geochild.... Took awhile...a couple of muggled around... Had a couple of stop starts. Managed to hide again.
