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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still 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'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.

Following up on my "Needs Maintenance" and "Needs Archived" logs again. Both are well over 28 days old and there has been no reaction (apart from some more DNF's).

Regards

Ian & Penny

Looked around, and got pretty close, only to realise that the cache had been listed for maintenance. All the best wishes for getting it back online, would love to visit the spot again!

No luck for us. Didn't realise this one had been missing before stopping.

CO has not been on for 4 years, so definitely time to go.

Had a rummage around, couldn't find anything

The cache "Mr Billy Boy" .
Just following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log. It is now well over 28 days old and there has been no reaction.
Could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the owner.

Hi there piesters,

Your cache "Mr Billy Boy" was last found on 14/02/2015, 178 days ago, and has had 4 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

No luck for us here today!

Searched thoroughly but not a sign of the cache.
After a PAF we are thinking maybe this cache is missing???

We DNF'd 1 caches today. [:(!]
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 10:57:00 AM, but we couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.
[/red]Ian and Penny

Didn't happen for me today, thanks anyway.

First find of the day on our road trip through mt glorious

A very short road! ;p. Billy pic was still there. Lovely puppy . Tftc. Quick find on a hot afternoon.

A quick find with 'sesblocker' while out with friends/ TFTC

An easy find with 'the neighbs' while out with muggle friends. TFTC

Found as part of a camping trip to Landcruiser Park. Appologies for the late logs, I lost my database of found caches and have not been well lately. Hoping to make a comeback to caching soon.

TFTC.

Found OK. All well. Lots of traffic on these roads with several fast ones.

Thought I'd have some trouble finding this one, a few potential hiding spots, but soon found it! So dry around here at the moment, I love it! When I was out here last it was so overgrown with weeds and long grass from the nonstop rain. Gimme hot, dry scrub any day! tftc!

My respects to Billy Boy and his family.

No bikers, although we were prepared. A nice place. Greetings from a Dutch team who payed respect to mr. Billy Boy.

This is motorbike muggle corner. Arrived and waited 15min during which time the biker population swelled to about 12. Every time a few left they were replaced by 4 more. I guess it was a Sunday. Gave up and visited the dam and picked it up a few hours later. TFTC

RIP billy boy

Fathers day drive with 14 month old twins. Was a good bit of fun for us.

Awesome walk and nice park

1469 - Found this cache on a maintenance visit to a couple of nearby caches to the east of here. Found in good condition at 4:26pm. Thanks for the cache piesters. It is good to have this one crossed off my list as I have wanted to find it for a while now.

Billy was here...

TFTC

Very sweet memorial for billy

Tftc

Out and about with the geokid on a beautiful winters day. A great all round caching day with an oldie, a couple of tree logs, a beautiful view, a decent walk, a puzzle, a massive spider guarding a cache and to finish the day off a tree climb!

We pulled up just around the corner and decided to walk back to GZ. There were motorbikes everywhere!! We made a quick find here. TFTC piesters

Today we headed to Brisbane via Mt Glorious Rd as we have never driven this road before. We stopped here to look for Mr Billy Boy, which took longer that what it should have.

The Cache was found safe and dry before we added our name to the log book.

Cheers.

Good hide .

Ahhh. I think I got a tick climbing through the bush to the one.

Not this time

Love the photo. Tftc

Last stop before the main target of my day, I parked on the side of the main road and wandered up this short little road. I walked around aimlessly a little, and found the GZ. Only problem the cache was a few m away, following the path that seems worn in a little, I soon was able to make the find though.

TFTC

1966 Finally fourth time here. We really don't know why we missed it on all those visits, like a previous log said they just saw a touch of colour and there it was, signed log 2pm ....
TNLN - piesters this one was a challenging hunt - TFTC...

Took a few minutes rummaging in the bushes to find this one. Looked down and caught a flash of colour and there it was. TFTC piesters

Found at 1259 My first for the day a bit late I know. Took a bit of a look and I tore my shorts while at it, ^@ barb wire. Well hidden. TFTC.

Found Ok

The old hag did the finding of this one, as there is not much room for a croud at GZ

TFTC

I looked for this one ages ago and had a case of cache blindness.
Today was different, and I found it in the first place that I looked

TFTC piesters

Found in the company of an old hag on our way home after a night on Whivenhoe Dam

thanks for the find ManicWombat

A quick park and grab on the way home from Diana's bath.

A park and grab on a busy road but no danger as it is well off the verg.

Parked nearby and was led astray by a geo-trail. When this produced nothing I trusted the GPS and the co-ordinates. This soon produced the goods. Did a small swap, sorry I didn't have anything dog related. thanks piesters

Third time lucky. This time with geo kids and uncle in tow. Re - read the hint and recent logs then headed towards GZ. GPS bounced around as with previous attempts. I knew it had to be there so using a stick I prodded around in all the likely spots till I came up trumps.TFTC

We searched and searched and searched then searched some more then sadly had to admit defeat

Nice scenic route just a shame all those "P-Platers" using the route as a race circuit. Up and back a couple of times while we were searching. We found the cache in good condition. TFTC piesters.

Quick find for Bedmaker and I while passing through the area today.
TFTC

Found with Tassiegirl13 while on a day trip out this way.
It was a quick find and everything was in good order with it.
Now we’re off to have a look around the dam.
TFTC

On our way to Caloundra today. Glad to get a quick find here.
Took TB to move along.
Thanks piesters

Found on the way home from Kilcoy visiting family. It was a nice quick find. TFTC.

What better to do with a dreary, drizzly school holiday day then pack all your munchkins and great caching mate into your Spangle and head out over the mountains to see what you can see? Oh, while you're at it why not find a cache or two? Net88, my three munchkins and I all piled into my beasty and headed west. One of my caching missions for the year is to clear as many caches as I can in this area.

I parked Spangle as close to the gate as possible and then Net88 and myself headed towards what we thought was GZ. Hmm, no cache there. We walked over the way a bit and then I noticed a geotrail. We followed this and quickly came upon the cache. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Found this cache during a day of caching with Nyssaflutterby and all three of the munchkins. We left the munchkins in the car for this one and wandered around aimlessly for just a little while before the iphone satellite kicked in and we found the right place. Thanks for the cache piesters.

Just had to keep looking where we thought.

Must be our third visit to this spot. As others have mentioned,we just were not looking hard enough till this time

Dropped in Blue Piggy Bank GC, and swapped a lizard for an orange headed safety pin

TFTC piesters

We were heading home from our adventure kayaking on Wivenhoe Dam when this cache popped up on the GPSr. Ruzzelz joined us not long after we had stopped which was just as well as we were having trouble locating the cache. Eventually Mr Just a Trifle came up with the goods and with the log signed, we departed and headed our seperate ways. Thank you for having placed the cache piesters.

Called in here along with JAT. Like many others before us i obviously failed to have a good look in the logical spot. After much criss crossing of the location JAT came up with the goods.

Really easy look behind you bit damp in there...but still alive and well TFTC

Mrs.K. and I searched for ½ hour. and came up with nothing, Will try again next time we pass.

There was a road worker parked here when I passed by earlier. All clear on the way back. Found after a quick hunt TFTC

My little dog Sparky lived until he was 12 years old.
He was a great little mate.
Took a long time to get over the sound of him bouncing on the sliding door when he wanted me.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks piesters

TFTC. Found with visitors from interstate who are not quite geocachers yet.

TFTC we miss our girl too.....

Out today with IolantheK collecting a few caches via water on both Somerset & Wivenhoe.

We'd finished the water caches and on our way home we decided to collect a this one as it was "on the way".

IolantheK had already found this cache eons ago so I went and did the search and log part myself.
Took me a bit longer than I though and eventually IolantheK wandered over and suggested looking "over here". Found the cache after that and signed the log [^]

The Cache is dry and in good condition.

Hangin with Belpayne and found this one with style! TFTC

Found on our way to mount mee for a night away camping. Beautiful little dedication to what looks like a valued member of the family. TNLN TFTC

76km from home.
Taking the scenic way home from Brisvegas we again searched for this cache, we had tried about a year ago and had spent almost an hour with a very unstable GPS fix. This time I again had an uncertain fix but decided to go with the ‘geo instinct’ and made a relatively quick find even though the GPSr still had 107metres to run on it when I made the fine. By the time I finished filling in the log that had come down to 3 metres.
We left nothing but our tag and footprints, we took nothing but memories.
Cache and contents aren’t in good nick.

Thanks for the cache piesters.

Got some funny stares from another car stopped along the highway! Found it easily! No Jewels but Billy's cute.

Took a bit longer than we had expected but geodads persistence won out.
TFTC

Driving to Brisbane from Lake Somerset, and saw this cache coming up on the live map - thought we'd stop by and find it. Pulled over at the intersection and tried to load cache details, only to find that there was no mobile reception (Virgin, on the Optus network) whatsoever. In trying to refresh the map, we lost even the coordinates we had earlier, so didn't know if we were even on the correct side of the road, much less what we were looking for. Can't even log this as a 'Did NOT Find', as we didn't have the chance to look for it, much less find/not find it I know, I know - pre-load the cache -- but that doesn't work for impulse caching, which side-of-country-road caches may well be. Gave up and moved on.

Out and about with Brother Colin, this time out Lowood and Marburg way.

BC had got this one already, and as I still had no coverage on the iPhone, he sent me in the right direction. An easy find. As I was signing the log a tiny little wren perched nearby and sang to me. TFTC, piesters. One thing I noticed, it's so very quiet out here...

With debmex.

Nice quiet spot, very cute memorial. Found with cjd79 (although I did all the finding!). TFTC

Running around with the Bathing party above. Stairman told us to expect a long search but Brother Colin was onto it in a flash...seems the camo had cleared at just the right time! Another very useful landmark spot out here in unfamiliar territory. TFTC piesters!

Out for a day caching with Stairman, Goldielover, Team Tinda and geo-sapians.

This was another of our stops today. A clear trail to follow and an exposed cache made this one a quick find. A strange way to double bag a log but it was dry.

Thanks for the cache.

Out for the day with Goldielover, Stairman, Brother Colin and TeamTinda

Heading back from Diana's Bath - one of the team suggested a quick find on the way home - we pulled over on the side of the road - and looked up - wall of lantana - hmmmm....

Upon closer inspection - a clear tunnel all the way to GZ - woohoo!!

Cache found quickly

Damp Log

Wet logbook despite double bagging. A nice easy driveby on an exploratory drive around Tge area. TNLN TFTC

Early this morning I was making the trip from Fernvale way up to Mt. Glorious and had to grab this one. Has been sticking out on my radar for a loong time. Parked closeby with minimal traffic around I could search in peace. In fact I think there was only one motorcycle went past, loved it. Headed up the really short road and then followed both the geotrail and GPS and soon fund myself crouched in a likely spot. Some scratching around and I spotted the cache. Inside was pretty dry, so signed the log and replaced. A nice stop while travelling through, TFTC Piesters.

Found on our way to the 6th Forest Challenge event at Jimna. Took a few minutes to find. When I opened the lid the container was full of water. Luckily the log book was double bagged and quite dry.

Signed log.

Thanks

I used a stick to prod the leaves until I cam up with the goods on this one. TFTC

Had to scrabble in the leaf litter in between the heavier showers for this on. TNLN TFTC.

Sigh... Another DNF.... Might need another hint for this one after reading other posts

This took me some time as it was well covered with leaves. tftc.
Cv.

Seeing the previous DNF I was not sure how we would go with this one, but other then the bending it was an easy find. The co-ords were spot on according to our GPS. TNLN TFTC

scratches, moving groundcover, very hot day, crawling around,
not finding the cache

Quick easy find at 1530. Manged not to draw any blood. i had to wait for a bit as there was a truck pulled up quite close and I would have been in full view. He stayed there for about 20minutes. When i finally walked the short distance to GZ I soon had it in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Picked this one up on the way to Diana's Bath. Been to the intersection many times with friends. It's a good spot to tell lies about how fast you were riding across the mountain . Cache was found with little trouble and no blood-letting. TN/LN/SL

Found on a glorious winter's day. Left a blue marble. TFTC

Found with Muddtrax & 2 Shadows. Crawled around on our hands and knees and eventually found this one TFTC SL

Found with Krossbo & 2 Shadows. Took a bit of searching but soon had the little fella in our hot little hands. TFTC!!

First find for the day.Took a little finding. We were joined by Muddtrax and Krossbo and Krossbo was the hero. TNLN. TFTC

Decided to do this one on the way home from Forest Challenge 5 Event because I have a dog. We parked down the side road and read the clue about the small road. We arrived at the gate to chest high grass. I loathe chest high grass After searching for a while I got on my hands and knees and started crawling around looking for the cache. Another hate of mine. This time I shed quite a bit of blood. There were so many spikey plants. Stairman1 thought I might need a transfusion. There was blood pouring down both arms. After crawling back through the grass Stairman1 yells "here it is" right where I had been looking . Anyway he signed the log for me otherwise there would have been blood all over the log. I stumbled back to the car and patched myself up. TFTC

Found the tricky little sucker after searching for quite a while. Yep the co-ordinates were dead on alright. We should have believed it. TFTC
