By Team Jansons on 29-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2N1Y6

An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

No response from the cache owner to the previous reviewer note ask for this cache to receive maintenance.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As there has been no response I'm archiving this cache to stop it from showing up in my reviewer searches and new placement checks.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

This cache has now been taken off my watchlist and I will not see any notes you leave on the cache page from today

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.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [here](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

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 listing and post a new 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.

a string of dnfs
no response to maintenance log x2
not found in almost 2 years
Current Slump 1678 consecutive days without a find since 17.11.2013
listing needs to go

no luck today, or the last searchers it seems, can owner please confirm if it is still here please?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

With only DNFs and no finds for nearly 2 years, can the CO please check this one is still available to be found?

My first weekend at home since I left on the 5th February for Victoria
Even better was that I had an event to attend for International Geocaching Day and it was also my birthday so all in all it promised to be a busy weekend! [^]
Between driving all over the place to see relatives , attend events and catch planes there wasn't much time for caching
All up I had 1 DNF , attended 2 events and found 8 caches though [^]
The best part of all, was catching up with some people who I haven't seen since I left and getting lots of lovely hugs [:X][^]

DNF! We spent so long here that I was late by 35 minutes for my own event
Standing on a slippery slope both muggle partner and I searched and searched and I even PAF'd a previous finder, all to no avail
I'm not saying that the cache isn't here, just that long grass made for a slippery position and a harder search with more hidden hides.
I'll be back! Especially as this is the ONLY one of this series that I have not found! Wait for me baby, please!

TFTC Team Jansons

Searched and searched with no luck. GPS bouncing around like crazy. Will attempt again

No pen XD BUT we have a photo for proof

This was one we need to help fill our 6th DT grid loop. A gap between northern suburbs meetings allowed us to park and head towards GZ. We took the best approach but still noticed how slippery the surface was. At GZ there was a minute or two of looking around before the well hidden cache was finally revealed.
Lid is still just as broken. Needs replacement.

So much glass

TFTC

Steep terrain. Took us a bit. Tftc!

Omg, I normally just skip caches like this, me and steep slopes don't get along well (several knee dislocations),

But i thought i would give this one a shot, It was a little trick to find and i pretty much found it by accident. The cache has seen better days but i was nowhere near my car to be able to put a replacement down.

Cheers Theshattells

On me bike ride this morning, I thought I had found a good fire trail behind the huts, that would take me to GZ
It didn't !!

So I tried a different approach, from the east this time.
This approach got me closer.
It looked like there was no escaping the scramble to find the prize

I made it to GZ and quickly found the cache.
A chorus of barking accompanied the log book signing ceremony
Back at the pushbike, peace and quiet returned to the area

TFTC !!

PS: Caches like this one are the reason I wear hiking boots while bicycling

Wow ths is a hard one for sure. Damn GPS kept failing me. One minute close and then I was 1km away. Heard the "bark"ing but without the GPS I was done for. Will put this on my list of DNF and will attempt it again later. By all means, drop me a line if you wanna give me a clue.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Wow. T4. Completed successfully. Weather fine and dry so was more worried about snakes than the terrain. I always wear pretty sturdy shoes for work anyway so I was fine. Quick find once negotiated the trek to GZ. Signed log and replaced. Container needs a bit of TLC as it is getting worse for wear in the elements. Gratias pro cache

So, a T4 down a creek, what's the best gear to do this in.
Matty was dressed in his suit, nice black shoes, why not....
Cache retrieved and signed, Bond style.

Don't come after rain when the grass is slippery!!

TFTC don't do it at night time. Or do do it, like me. Yuzgnome

Very rough terrain very gd hidning spot

Found by The Boofs TFTC ?

Bring better shoes than me

Great spot. TFTC

100th cache for us. Thanks very much

With dry slippery grass under foot, we made our way to GZ and made a quick find. TFTC!!

Took awhile but got it in the end.

Come back with a bit more light

Found with Lauz, Liz and Kat. Sighted a baby brownsnake so beware!

Lid broken

Found with JarradMan. Rough terrain but a fun one

Woohoo! Cheers guys, found with jessejames112

Terrain was difficult but the find was easy. Thanks for the cache!!

Gotcha!

Return visit after a previous failure.

But this time, I was armed with my nice shiny new GPSr!

Unlike my phone, this one led me to within a couple of meters of the cache.

Thanks Team Jansons

ZZzz..

I nearly ended up on my rear several times
trekking in here in the wet grass.
TFTC

Out with Liz And bruce grabbing a few caches on a cool afternoon
thanks to Team Jansons for putting this cache out for us to find

We did the drunken bee walk with Honeysucker - until he spotted it. Nice one. Thanks to Team Jansons

TFTC
Easy find, a good walk

This one took a bit of effort, would not attempt this one at night or while paralytic
TFTC

Found with Blackadders after a mountain goat approach.TFTC

Finally found with sa sewer rats after a mountain goat approach TNLN SL TFTC

Fail!

I heard the "barking" dogs, but it would seem that I am no bark-king because any pieces of bark that I looked at turned out to be just bark.

OMG! It can only be the fact that I've had only 3-4 hours sleep each night for the past 5 days (while geobub's been teething) that allowed me to be convinced by geotween to attempt this cache at 9pm tonight! It was still light when we set out but only minutes into our walk on the steep slope toward this cache we were in almost total darkness. With only one small torch between us we inched our way toward GZ around occupied spider webs and all manner of other buggy and prickly things. In daylight I'm sure the cache would have been easy to spot. But in the darkness we were distracted by a different area nearby which had multiple possible hiding spots. Just as we were about to admit defeat (along with complete lunacy for being in that terrain in the darkness) geomum spotted the hide. Took whistle. Left lego eraser. TFTC Team Jansons. Certainly a memorable one for us (BTW geotween loved the adventure and is searching for another high terrain cache we can do one night when geodad is able to look after geobub for us!)

Lucky number 7. And we had no trouble and no geocachers where harmed during the fetch of the cache. Thanks Team Jansons

This one was on a very tricky slope. TFTC

Thanks for the Para-Nine Series - A quick find on a very humid day.

Warning bring the Aerogard with you on this series as the flies are murder.

Our last cache in the para-nine series today, more than halfway through it! Left the hardest last, although not on purpose. Unlike some other caches earlier, we had the right approach and whilst the trail was difficult at places (wouldn't really want to tackle it when it's wet), the cache was found with ease. TNLNSL TFTC

Some light showers this morning didn't discourage me from a walk down the gully. Nice quiet spot for a bit of caching. Pretty easy to get to if you come in from the Conygham Rd side, just follow the little trail (not the main path). Cheers Jansons.

Nice hike in
TFTC TNLN

What a workout! SL 16.15. TNLN TFTC

After a doctor's appointment this morning, Mr Jedi thought he'd try tackling this one solo after scoping it out a few months ago. During what appeared to be an easy walk to GZ, he managed to walk face-first into not one, but two of the thickest spider webs that he's ever experienced! You think he'd have learned after the first one!

Once at GZ, there was certainly a lot of barking. Man, that critter would not stop for a second! Cache was soon in hand though, and after signing the log and replacing, Mr Jedi was plotting his path back to the car... a lot more carefully this time!

Tftc good one

It's steep glad it hasn't rained today

Found on a lovely afternoon/evening caching with Brisal5 and CPwanderer.

Not quite as hard as we expected, but Brisal5 decided to do it the harder way and came up with the find. TFTC.

Got a surprise leave pass to leave painting the study and join Aussie M&M and CPWanderer for an evening's caching. Para-caching in fact. Geeting there is always half the fun. So I slid down the direct route into the creek (albeit dry). Then scaled up the slope again to the prize. Meanwhile Aussie Mark came the longer flatter route and came in second. Thanks Team Jansons for the adventure.

Found with AussieM&M and brisal5(who took the high terrain approach) Thanks Team Jansons for the hide!!

Glad we had Green Tree Llama with us today for this one - thanks for the Para series. Sorry for the late log.

Tricky at night, cheers 82lexie & rikes1

Found it at night, a bit steep in the dark :-/ took mini skateboard for geokid and placed geocaching magnet. It was exposed when we got here so covered it a bit better:)

Can see why it's a 4 star terrain, found on my last caching mourning in Adelaide. SL TFTC

TB Visit, TMJ

Found this one on the 18/11 with the kids. Took a bit of looking at first!!! but got it. TFTC

Came at this one from the wrong way to start off with so a bit of back-tracking req'd. Got there in the end. TFTC.

Found during an early morning visit to the area before heading off to Yorke Peninsula for a few days. Thanks for the cache Team Jansens!

Ironic how I found this one with little trouble with terrain after falling hard on a 1 1/2 star terrain that I DNF. (Para-medic)

I was about to give up hope and turn around, but my gut told me to keep going forward. (I cache without a GPS)
Glad I did, my heart leapt when I found it!

Muggles (a woman, two kids, and two dogs) passed me on the other side of the creek while I was signing the log but I rushed so that they only saw me leaving.

Took 'smile' card, left a mini chupa chups phone charm. TFTC.

Searched high and low for this one not sure if it has been muggled as we did find another seekers tag on the ground and the waterproof logbook bag.

Definitely take note of the requirement for grippy shoes. TFTC.

Found it on a second try, must have been the presence of the lucky charm geobub. Para-nine series complete. Tftc

Another one in this series added to the Found list!

TNLN. Seek3rs sticker added to the log.

TFTC

Lots of bark and grass but no cache

Tried to follow creek on this one, and ended up kneedeep in the long, deep kikuyu!
Headed up hill a lil, only to find myself on wrong side of creek! Bugger
Found cache easily enoug by torchlight, with part going on not far away.
Much easier following the fenceline back out to the road and car.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Geo-son dissapeared into the trees. He appeared later, huffing and puffing but happy as he had found the cache!!

TFTC

Oooo this was a hard one! One geomum and geokid slid down the hilland searched for 15 mins while the other geomum and kid went searching for a potty spot! Lol. Felt like a cross country trek!

3rd of 4 today to complete the series. TFTC SL

Nice one. Need good shoes thongs didn't cut it. Lol

Now that was a work out Tftc

Found @ 5.07pm [8]

Last one of my walk for this evening. A bit trickier to get to and I was wondering if I was on the right track. As I got closer to GZ I knew I was. Thanks for a good series. Hopefully I will complete while here, if not, I'll have to wait for my next trip home. TfTc

A little steep and slippery but slow and steady won the race. TFTC

Tftc wouldn't want to bring the geokids along for this one

5th in the series today... Watch your step as it can be slippery..
TFTC

Checked & Logbook Replaced

Bit of a tricky walk in to this one but didn't take too long to find. TFTC. TNLN.

On our quest toward 2000 before the new year. Good little series
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Started to think that this one was in someone's front yard, until I realised a park must run along the back of the houses.

Found my way in and signed the log.

Thanks for the cache, Team Jansons - find 3 of the series.

Sure could hear the barking! thing didnt shut up. Im glad to get another of the para series, ill finish it some day

Unfortunately started on wrong side of creek, but got there anyway. Quite an adventure for Geokids. TNLN TFTC

Found it with TheSA Cousins. Bit hair raising when we were retrieving the cache and it started rolling down the hill. Got it back with no problems. TNLN TFTC

Nice quick find. Being on the correct side of the creek helped. Forgot to bring pen but I left a button as evidence of finding this one. TFTC

Found once the GPS settled down and pointed in the right direction.

Steep walk.

TFTC

A nice walk on a relatively steep slope. Thanks Team Jansons.

Found all 9 Para-Nine caches in one day. Scratches and bug bites included. Thanks Team Jansons!

This was our first 2diff 4 terrain cache, so thanks for the extra box in the well-rounded cacher! I took the hard route, but loved the climb. thanks TJ!

1st cache in a lunch time grab of caches in the area.

Great start to a morning cache trip! TSLS SL TFTC

One more cache to go to finish of the series.

Excellent hiding, just like all of the other caches in series.

found with little sammy and selina! The nearby dogs were yapping lol tftc

Phew came in from the wrong side oops a good workout though a few new grass stains but a good find. Tftc

TFTC

Just can't seem to guess the right side of the gully but like life caching is full of ups and downs.

Found it with Lava12
