Go No Further #2 Schofields, New South Wales, Australia
By The Traveling Smiths on 26-Dec-10. Waypoint GC2KMM2

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'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 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

This cache needs to be archived or updated given that the CO has moved it to its new home at #3 as per the description of 'Go No Further #3'. This will prevent others from heading out there to do these in order, only to discover they should head from #1 to #3 as #2 has now been moved on.

First DNF for the day. Had a 10 min searchwith GG01 in all the usual places and had no luck.

Had a good look around did not find - muffled?

Easy find. Thanks

Found, while visiting Sydney.
Good hide.
TFTC

Had GZ in middle of grass nature strip so checked a spot I reckon it might be. Well sometimes you guess right and thank goodness for the lack of rain as it might prove difficult. Off to the bottle shop preparing for Christmas Day tomorrow. Tftc

#1,544

I drove too far down the road, assuming the cache would be at the end. I should have paid more attention to my GPS, maybe then I wouldn't have set off the vicious looking & sounding guard dogs as I turned around.

Then when I got out of the car, some suspicious looking locals pulled their car over & checked me out before driving off in the distance. Once they'd gone I looked around, hoping to find the cache quickly before anyone else came by (& becasue the dogs were still going off their heads down the road). Was about to give up when I looked in the right spot & had the cache in hand.

Thanks

Found after a little search. Went to this area as it was close by the 100 day streak challenge. TFTC.

Quick find close to where a friend lives. TFTC!

Nice easy find close to midnight, but the nearby sheep scared the crap outta me! TFTC

No. 211

A nice quick park and grab by GeoMum who freaked out when the sheep from across the road started making some noise. Was rather amusing for GeoKids watching out the window of the car. TFTC

Went round and round. Here it 'tis. TFTC!

Quick park and grab once gps decided to work again.TFTC

Found with Marcus Vitruvius during a quick run following the Geocaching NSW 101 event.

GZ was very muddy after the recent rains but after a hop, skip and a jump I was across the worst of it to make a relatively straightforward find.

Thanks to The Traveling Smiths for the cache.

# 1258- I had reason to be out this direction on school business today, so decided to pick this one up on the way through. Last time I was here, it was minus the 2. Apprently, I was told after that this hide has changed too- whether by the owner or by cache finders, I'm not sure, but ...I found it anyway.Thanks.

Was en route to Old Schofields Station and decided to detour slightly and quickly grab this hide.

TFTC.

Last cache for the day, sevabo, jackjay1 and I found it before we headed home. TFTC

found it with jackjay1 and skyejam. Thanks for leading us here...

found it with nana sevabo and geofriend skyejam. TFTH

1st on new log tftc

Quick find by Geoson, the local dogs did not like us here.
Great hide.
TFTC

We over shot GZ to the end of the road and were greeted by two guard dogs. A quick look at the GPSr and we moved back to GZ in the safety of the car. Got out and then saw something a little fishy. Followed the signed and found the cache. SL and replaced. TFTC

Found with cybermew3 while out and about on another adventure
Tftc:)

With holyman54 on another adventure! TFTC

Clever hide. Rain made it fun

Clever hide that. TFTC.

This was a quick find before heading to pick up some fish and chips. Nice hide. I avoided a few mugglers who were walking their dog. TFTC

TFTC SL. Great hide

Find in the rain TFTC

Pulled up had cache in hand within seconds. TFTC SL

hidden in a very clever spot

Hmmm, we did this one a month ago, not sure why it is not logged, trying again. I remember the kids finding this one instantly.

Cheers

No dramas with this one today. Quick and easy as the music boomed from the house across the road.

TFTC

Nice easy in and out ! Tftc!

Nice easy in and out ! Tftc!

I have waited till there was another cache in the area to come here.
Found, SL and Rntd safe with out any trouble.

Ok, so i pulled up across from GZ. Before i could get out there was a tap at the window. I was asked 'are you here to pick up the drugs over there' oh dear!! No No i replied and continued to make up something about inspecting faulty poles in the area. At that point i was taken to the place in question and shown what i knew to be the cache. I ensured the person it was not dangerous in any way, and we even inpected it together. I'm claiming the find but i didnt have the nerve to sign it in front of them, nor will i be going back

Just finished work, and thought I'd hit a few cache's along the way home.
Was scratching my head for a sec, and came up with the goods.
Thanks for the cache.

Easy found in a wunderful City.

A quick find and disturbed some large flying insect that was sleeping with the cache, thanks.

Great cache with perfect coordinates. A goat tied to a nearby fence seemed pretty interested in what we were doing! TFTC!

Great drive-by cache with great coords! Found with "The Neighbs". TFTC )

Cache Hunt 734; GAFF2; Weather, Rainy/Windy; Helpers, GeoGirl 10; Cache condition, OK; Find of the day, 4th; STATUS, Found; GPSr at GZ - 3m

I remember reading about this one and the dogs a while back. Well even where it is now, the dogs came and started barking. I could see where GZ probably was and we wanted to get out of there. GG saw something amiss and found the cache, I simply fished it out. I SL and replaced. Good one GG and thanx TTS, TFTC.

I finally got the trifecta! Had to go fishing for this one. Bring your tweezers unless you have good fingernails. SL #40

TFTC,plus watch out for the big dogs.

The first one today we didn't get. Stopped and set off the dogs, started to look but felt exposed and a couple of blokes at the nearby house were watching us and speaking loudly, I think about us, so we moved on without having a look.

Nice hide, had to delay the grab as there was a herd of cows coming down the road.

Finally, had a quick look around a few times, can't see sometimes for looking.

Find #1112 - 9 for today. Found on 16/07/11 12:58 PM
A quick and easy find, had to use a extracting implement as it was too dificult to grab onto. Yeah, the dogs were at it again, going ballistic. Thanks. TNSLLN

Having completed “Go No Furthers 1 & 3” in January, was glad to see this one back online to complete the trilogy. Quick one-handed find as I sent a text (not caching related) all the while being observed by a big woolly sheep. Being find number 299 for me, not likely I’m taking the name to heart… I’m going FURTHER!

I agree with Calypso62's account. We parked close enough but I wasn't taking the risk with the dogs going balistic at not only us, but each other as well.
Not worth the mauling to get the cache. Will try again at some point.

Out on a caching run with Smurfyguy today. OK.... took one look at the dogs who were not only barking violently but also viciously fighting amongst themselves and decided to high tail it out of there! I don't suppose they could get out but we weren't taking any chances!!!

Reperio at 1615. The last cache for the day before heading back home to Lake Macquarie, and after circumnavigating GZ, the cache was spotted. The dogs across the road were'nt overly impressed with me being there, but luckily I wasn't there too long for the neighbours to get suspicious.

Gratias.

Found quickly while the dogs were barking at us, all we needed for this was fungernails. Thanx

Our 4979th overall find.

09:43 AM Found this cache very quickly. Matt just opened up his car door and grabbed it and I didn't even have to get out as he had it logged and returned before I had a chance.

Thanks to The Traveling Smiths for the cache.

A neat driveby.
I hardly needed to get out of the car, but of course I did.

Good hide TFTC

Nice quick find, well, it would be if the dude renovating his house across the Road didn't keep watching us like a Hawk! TFTC.

Nice easy find from geomum....TFTC

Glad I read the logs when I got home as I'm afraid of barking dogs. Nice hide....no dogs today.

Found this cache straight away.
TFTC

I forgot to load the new Coordinates into the GPSr before we set out this morning and realised this when we were greeted by barking dogs, I remember reading some of the older logs

We downloaded the new coordinates into the GPSr and quickly had CIH.

Another quick and easy find by geodaughter.
TFTC

Now that this cache is a lot safer from savage dogs and farmers with shootguns. I thought I give it a go and there didn't seem to be any problem in the new location. TFTC Smiths

TFTC! Excellent hide.

Had to improvise to get this one ??
TN LN SL
Thankx to the Smiths

This one was a challenge to extract... Then I saw the log in a little jar inside the cache. A work of art I couldn't replicate so I didn't. TNLN as our bag of TBs had bugs all too big :-/ witty hide though, live the use of the big game equipment as well TFTC

Found with TeamBooo thanks

Great location. TFTC Nice hide.

Great location. TFTC Nice hide.

Finally got this one after it moved locations. TFTC. Thanks Traveling Smiths!

FINALLY! We have FINALLY got this one! We had so many DNFs before on this one that I was doubtful of finding even a trace of it in a million years. It turned out that all the other times it was just because we had bad coords.

A nice quick find to start our afternoon of caching in the area.

Cheers

Wow, looks like a lot of other people found this cache today as well. There were no dogs to bother us on our first find today with Hoojar and Ding.
Cheers.

Nice quick find. Harder to retrieve.

TFTC.

The WaywardWoman couldn't be with us for this one, since she scalded her throat on Friday night and she now can't talk. After a night in emergency, she was still catching up on sleep today. Once, I might have said that her bark is worse than her bite. Now she's all bite. And after my last DNF on this cache there was no way she was allowing me to leave the house unaccompanied. Canary was given my choke chain today and he duly gave it a yank when that dog started on me again. Sure, the dog's a long way down the road now, but he remembers me. I'm not allowed to say anything else, except that I found the cache, and thank you very much.

I found the cache. Thankyou very much.

Good Hide TFTC

Nice one

Nice little hide.

I had much better luck this time. Tried it the first time before it was moved, man that was a mean dog.

Found in the early morning gloom, with the aid of a torch.

A common hide for this type of placement. Thanks TTS

VERY well hidden!
thanks Acko

This was a hide after my own heart!

As I rolled up to the Burfitt Road/Neville Road intersection in rural Riverstone, I wondered what kind of canine welcome I'd receive. I could see from the online map that the CO had made a small location adjustment -- moving GZ back from the very end of the road -- but would those damn dogs find me anyway?

Well, they certainly did know I was there in their territory searching. One dog on each side of the end of the dead end road, about 100 metres distant, began barking as soon as I got out of the GeoBuru2. However, they were far enough away so that they didn't bother me, and were securely behind fences, and none of the neighbours seemed to take notice of me either. So I methodically went on with my search and the yelping gradually died out.

The published coordinates are pretty good, so there are limited places to investigate. Unfortunately, one likely place is a bit overgrown. However, I won't say more here, because I'd hate to 'spoil the fun' of future finders (or non-finders).

Suffice it say that I achieved a quasi-FTF this evening and was the first to sign the new log book in the new location.

I think this is a pretty good hide and it's hard to see. I was wearing my new multi-focals (which replaced the old multi-focals I lost while tracking down a GCA moveable at midnight in Bullaburra in the Blue Mountains) and these seemed to help a lot. I spotted some telltale evidence that can't be mentioned here.

Cache container was in great shape, and the little inner capsule will no doubt keep the log scroll dry quite successfully.

TNLNSL.

Many thanks to the Traveling Smiths for re-establishing this one.

we have re-enabled this cache and have moved it away from the dogs hopefully...

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 41.553 E 150° 51.728

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 41.559 E 150° 51.667

Distance from original: 310.5 feet or 94.7 meters.

Re activating #2. Moved a short distance to get away from the dogs.

Stupid GPS still had this in it!?!

Any news on what's happening?

The COs have reported that this cache has now been removed and transmogrified into 'Go No Further #3' -- so I think #2 should be archived, to prevent more geocachers from 'going to the dogs.'

Found it but it was a tricky little hide. I was actually looking at it for a while and if it wasn't for a frog looking at me I would have missed it.

Went caching for a few newish local caches with Lessue, Found the barking dog, found the irate property owner, apparently we woke him him up ..... not his dog barking its head off mind you, ... we woke him up. Had a good look around, think I knew exactly what I was looking for, but didn't find it. The property owner hung around his mailbox muttering swear words under his breath the whole time we were there.

So we went back today, thinking a break from the cache would allow us to see it fresh. Nope. The last time I looked this hard for a cache it turned out to have gone missing (Six Foot Track). I'm in two minds about this cache.

1. The cache has gone missing since last it was found. Suspect: Irate property owner (See TeamExtreme PC's log)
2. The cache is there but well hidden, and not at the published coordinates (see Deputy Dog's log)

or a third possibility - I can't find caches to save myself.

If the cache is there I'm certain it's not on the sign. I've been all over it and pulled and twisted and looked into everything a basic little sign can have pulled twisted and looked into. Barring the sign there is a big patch of cleared grass all around the sign (see picture) which suggests it could only be well away from the sign (See mind no. 2 with careful consideration of the third possibility, while respectfully considering log by Deputy Dog)

If this is so, there are trees and fences to be searched. If this option is taken there is also the now famous vicious dog (see picture) that likes to follow you up and down the fence, waiting for a chance to tear off some part of your anatomy while all the while barking to alert its vicious owner of your presence.

mmmm???? I said to the WaywardWoman, Is this fun? And we decided it wasn't.

So, unless a) the coordinates are corrected OR b) a better clue is given OR c) the cache is replaced OR d) someone shoots the dog OR e) someone just tells me where the bloody hell this thing is, then I don't think I'll be going back.

So that's score 1 to bikerbuddy (for Go No Further #1) and a big slam dunk against me today from The Travelling Smiths.

There's also Option f) someone kidnaps the Travelling Smiths and tortures them until they spill the beans.

Yeah, someone else can shoot the dog. I'll take option f.

Thanks for your efforts, I think.

Sorry to the Trevelling Smiths. The dates on the logs don't show it, but this cache was disabled only minutes after my second DNF log. The dog was a pain and I didn't find the cache, but you shouldn't listen to what I say because I'm always talking garbage. It was meant to be a humorous account of a frustrating search - we all have them. Thanks for putting out your caches (we've found 4 out of 5 of your caches) and I hope you don't take anything I say seriously in the future. No one else does. Cheers.

1st time I looked I saw it but dismissed it as rubbish, second time I looked a little closer...nice work! Thanks for bringing us here

Well, I'm buggered if I know. Searched all over what seemed to be the subject of the cache (and our stated GZ) but nothing gave. After that, there was a lot of cleared grass and fences and trees a further distance off. But Rags got it today. We obviously don't have the right crystal ball for this one yet. We'll keep an eye on it.
