the big flood?? Forresters Beach, New South Wales, Australia
By OrthSouthEastWest on 18-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2JE9F

This one was still in our GPS. We had failed to find it a couple of years ago so stopped by here on the way home from Ancient Artifacts. Someone has done recent maintenance on this as it had a new Write in rain log sheet with only one signature on it. Added ours and went on our way. Didn't realise it was archived until we got home.

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.

As luck would have it, I got a call while heading home from Long Jetty today, and it was able to pull off right at the spot, making sure to align myself in the correct position. My geo-vehicle then finally found itself a use in geocaching, as I was able to reach the cache from my seat while chatting on the phone. While chatting I opened it up, but as suspected, nowhere to sign the logsheet. Glad to have gotten this smiley before it disappears.

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.

Thank goodness for mobile phones. With so much muggle traffic passing by this very exposed location, this one would be hard to get if not for being able to wander around by the car (conveniently pulled up right at GZ) talking on the phone. As others have mentioned, the logsheet is absolutely full ... I managed to find a place to sign but it wasn't big enough to date.

It appears that the CO is no longer geocaching (hence the lack of a response to the calls for the logsheet to be replaced) so I think this cache may have reached the end of its life and probably needs to be archived.

The CO is no longer geocaching and has not responded to several calls for maintenance. I think this cache may have reached the end of its life ... unless someone wants to adopt it.

Log is absolutely full and names are squeezed in everywhere.
It desperately needs replacing.

Lots of traffic today. The RTA had conveniently placed a mobile sign near GZ so this is where I went to SL and the camo vest proved to be just the right attire so I didn't look conspicuous.

Needs new paper as so small nowhere to write!

Definitely a park and grab cache TFTC

Searched the site yesterday & again today with no luck. Hmm, had it been muggled?

My first Cache in Australia.
On a one week business trip to NSW I used the sunday for a sightseeing and cache tour.
So, here it starts. And it was good to find.

Dieser Cache ist mein Fund Nummer >>328<<.
Vielen Dank an 'OrthSouthEastWest' für das Legen und Pflegen von dem Cache "the big flood??".

Very easy park and grab before tackling our 100th next week. No doubt if the water level even reaches 2M no-one will be driving on the Central Coast Highway to see it. A rather weird sign!

TFTC

Found it on a rainy day. Nothing much else to do in this weather than a couple hours geocaching.

First micro. Tricky little bugger.

Found it very small, but not on ground.

It's hard to imagine what a 2 metre flood would be like - I hope I'm not stuck on the wrong side of the bridge when it does. A quick find, TFTC.

Simple with clue. Unattractive spot, though.

Another one I've driven past many times, but decided to stop today. I'm inspired to hide a PnG cache, as most of mine require a bit if a walk usually. SL. TFTC.

A quick road side stop. Even though it was in plain sight it took a while for me to see it

Good cache, found with GeoTheo & Sui

New to this game, only 2nd find, 1st micro. Took 2 goes to find.
Easy 2nd time round.

Log is full! Used scrap piece of paper to sign and added it to the cashe

A quick drive by find. Have put another piece of paper in it as the log was full.

Tftc- log is full

Found with jaz82log needs replacing

Tftc with jaz82

The little paper is full so might b good idea to replace

First micro out of a couple found today. Thanks to the previous person who found the cache on the ground and made it easier for others (like me!) to find. Added my name to log in the margin and replaced cache where I found it (1.8...)

Needs a new log book. TFTC

Clever quick cache.

Needs at new log sheet fill front and back.

Cache needs log replacing!! No space to write anything at all.. As the CO doesn't appear to have been online for over a year now and hasn't made any attempt to replace the log I suggest the next cacher brings one to put in! Typical nano log will do!

A quick easy drive by. The hint was a little out for me - the last person mustn't be all that tall... As others have said the log needs replacing. I managed to scribble a WTF in orange but that's all I could fit....
TFTC cheers

Thanks

Found it!!

TFTC!

Quick find while on hols. Thanks

Very quick find, struggled to sign log as no room, dam nanos no room to sign, dam nanos, tftc

You said it was easy. Yep. As per previous logs the sheet is full. Sorry I have paper but nothing that would fit in there.

Found with MrDamage. I'm finally getting my logs done.

Nice, easy drive by. Needs a new log desperately. TFTC.

Found 11:58 am with AuroraEve TFTC. Incredibly busy road at this time, it would've helped being on the right side but that would mean wrong direction for the next one. And yes the log is checkers, initialled it on a corner with the date.

The log is over full, had to squeeze name on over black Geocaching info...!

The old clipboard and fluro vest reduces suspicion from almost anything...! Easy find as have seen this style before. Log IS FULL...!

So hard not to look like you are up to something. TFTC.

Celebrating my 100th cache with a 100 year flood!

A quick find TFTC - second for the day as we head up the coast. Log is full. Thanks again

Indeed, the enjoyment in finding this cache is trying to look legit while searching, all the while having cars passing and looking at you.

This cache is tiny. Heavy rain could dislodge it easily so check the ground for a very small object if its not where you think it is.

Great cache. Thanks.

Searched at night for this one. was not where it should be. found on ground nearby. Tried putting back, had to jam in place as cache has lost magnetism.

found with redwiggle3 this cache was lying on ground placed at supposed hiding place

Came down to Central Coast today for some caches. It seems this one is gone.

Was unable to locate this one. Can cache owner please check up on this one. Thnks

Nothing tuo be found.

Sounds like an easy one, but it's a DNF from me. I pretty well figured out where it must be, but couldn't see anything and am not so tall.... Checked both sides of the road. I'll try again another time. I can't remember seeing any water over that road ever.

Simple fine on a cold and miserable day

Another nice find while on holiday in the area.

SL TFTC

Easy peasy )))))

After spending the night north of Sydney at The Entrance we again started heading south as the ending of our holiday was looming but we still had time to visit a few more caches along the way.

This was a surprise sign and if the container ever gets wet a lot of people will be in trouble, but on the other hand it must flood here of the sign wouldn't be there.

Thanks for the cache.

It took longer to cross the rad than it did to find the cache! TFTC.

Easy we knew exactly where it would be before we got to the location.

Lifted up geodaughter and got the cache!

Thought this would be easy but no luck

Nice easy drive by cache on our way to The Entrance.

with anad73 and pirry

Quick and easy find roadside find after reading the description. On the way to The Entrance.

With Gilberto74 and AnaD73

TFTC

Another sightseeing day. We stoped to do a quick cache on the way to The Entrance. Spoted by Pirry as soon as we got to the GZ.
With Gilberto74 and Pirry.
TFTC!

The only dnf on our 12-12-12 extravaganza...and I think it's purely because we're both too damn short...and this was meant to be the easy one of the day! We'll be back, with tall friends!

Well, we DID find the location after being on the wrong side of the road for an embarrassingly long time (lots of passing traffic); it's just that the both of us have such short legs that we couldn't reach it, so we couldn't log it. We'll come back another time with a taller member of the team.

How could I have possibly missed this on a previous visit..
Found quite quickly once I concentrated on the 2M.
TFTC, SL.

Tftc I wish I was taller though!

Thanks for the quickie,cheers

Great park and grab. Nice quick find thanks to the hint. I think I spent more time waiting for a break in traffic to get back to my car which was parked on the other side of the road SL. TFTC.

One of 8 DNF`S & 13 Finds on our trip to the central coast from Sydney.
Thought this would be a nice easy quick find but it wasn`t meant to be, had a good look in between passing traffic, i`m tall but couldn`t quite reach the only remaining spot the cache could be.....oh well!
Cheers from CATONY.

[D:] Lots of passing muggles but located the cache quickly and unseen by muggles - TFTC

A nice little find. The traffic was hectic and I felt I was in the open being watched by every car that went by. However we managed to find and sign the log. TFTC.

up from Sydney with edf. who needs a hint when the cache title says it all. edf made the find before i even got out of the car. the hardest thing about the cache was putting the log back in the cache. cheers.

Easy to find!
Thank you says Enhaneunzig from Germany

The rinsemesocks clan kindly invited us up the central coast this weekend so an afternoon of caching was definitely on the agenda. We pulled over at GZ and saw that there was only really going to be one possibility for the hide. But it was such a tricky little one that it was hard for these old eyes to spot. The hardest part after that was getting the log back into the container. TFTC

Found this one together with Enhaneuzig
on our vacation in Australia.

I log it now to bring order to my hollidaycashes

TFTC and best Regards form Germany!

Hard one with all the traffic. Stood there for 5 minutes looking at it before making the grab.

Awesome. Nabbed it at 12:10am. Thanks!

Nice Cache, Busy Road. TFTC

Cool tftc! Lucky we had a tall person. 1.30pm

Log has been replaced.

Needs replacing.

Log is drenched & we were unable to sign it...needs replacement log

What an unusual spot to place a cache but we liked it....geomum made the quick find but even on my tiptoes I had no hope of reaching it so called across to geodad who was still sitting in the car for the extra height needed...it is such a busy road & it must look funny to muggle traffic passing by as to what we look like...I wonder how many say..."what are they doing?"...lol...log is too wet to sign will need replacing...T4TC...

What a busy road! This one is not designed for short people.
However with a break in the traffic and two people the cache was claimed.
Small cache but the log is vey wet.
TFTC

No water today.

The log has been replaced

Found this cache while having a holiday caching run between the Hawkesbury and the Gosford Area. Thanks for making our journey so much more enjoyable. We must have just missed each other as the log was full when we got there.

Drove past this one and was parked just beyond it checking for caches when we realised it was just behind us.
Nice quick find between muggle traffic.

This was quite a surprise. The smallest cache we've ever found!

Quick find. Lot's of traffic! Tftc
