Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Structure was set on fire and a new form of hide needed to replace cache will have new container shortly.
The stump appears to have been the victim of a bored pyromaniac over the weekend. Didn't poke around too much in the middle but I suspect the cache may have sustained some damage. Idiots.
Quick find - cache was on the ground. Replaced somewhere in keeping with clue. Log is full - I had to improvise a spot - can next person bring a new log please? TNLN TFTC today makes day 40 of current streak - working to 150.
We came here to do a day of caching and were very pleasantly surprised by the activities here in Stockton, we set off on our bikes and rode around and found as many caches along the way. We found variety of types , crafty once and little more challenging once. thanks to all the CO for there efforts. well done. TFTC
Love it what a great place to put a cache. So quirky. Caching in Stockton today for Boxing Day.
Nice quick drive-by. The memorial plaque was a nice touch & got a laugh & yes, guess what we were singing & whistling on the way home! SL TFTC PD186
We were on a walking tour of Stockton, probably not a great idea on such a hot day. I just about saw this one in the first place I looked. Just after we met up with jfindit who was a couple of caches behind us but travelling in the luxury of his car. Thanks for the hide PD186, an interesting place for a cache.
TFTC. Morgan + friends found this one near one of our favourite pubs. Such a great location. Definitely go to the pub on a Wednesday night for Snitty night! 
Quick find but was good, the cache needs a new zip lock bag as this one is getting old! TFTC
Love an obvious hide that looks like it belongs even though it has no connection to the “art” work.
I see why it has this name on a hot day and along way from Albany WA I enjoyed this thanks. Traveled 5500 k's thanks for the laugh
Good to have an easy find every now and then.. Lovely afternoon spent riding around Stockton..TFTC-with JemJemC

This one was at an interesting location..cache was exposed and easily found
After a failed attempt to gather these caches on wednesday, 88jaz88, Patches108 and I set out. We went through Jesmond, to the UNI, Wetlands, Sandgate...had a quick stop at the floodgates and across to Ash Island. We had a fantastic time caching around the island...loved the scenic views and slightly rough trails. The places geocaching takes you!!! We had a brief lunch at the northen most point of our journey then continued on. I also admired the historical side of the island. We then jumped onto Tourle street where Jaz was swooped by a Magpie. Funny times!!! After that we headed to Army View where Patches and I both got a flat. We changed them under the bridge and continued on up it. Once at Stockton, we headed south on the cycleway and unfortunately Pat got two flats...one on each wheel what is the luck?? Jaz and I then decided it would be best to cut our losses so we rode out to get a few. We met back up at the ferry at 2 and went to the local bike shop (CFN) where they helped replace the tubes and we were on our way. At this point it was getting on 3 o'clock and we decided to make the dash home via a few unique areas. After a ride through carrington, islington, broadmedow via the small powertrail, I was back home.
Thanks to all cache owners for their time and effort in placing these awesome caches and showing us some great areas.

The title of this cache was probably what I should have been doing, as I was walking my bike with two flat tires the 3kms to the Ferry terminal.

Haha this is the best cache ever. However it does need a new log. We signed on the Geocaching rules lol.
An easy place to have such a blatant hide as this. Who would notice one more bit of colour here? Weird!! Thanks.

Quick and easy find with Eldest Son - good thing too, because we are really suffering with jet lag after arriving from the UK this morning. TFTC.

So cute. I walk past this one all the time, so it's a wonderful introduction to my caching life. Thanks PD186!
