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 %d% 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 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.

I emailed the CO and haven't hear or reply back to me... Need URGENT as the neighbour had the cache - that mean no cache at the coordinate.

Neighbour didn't happy with the cache... due - someone tried climb over the fence... Found it with sevabo. Thanks Smithy's Rule. (email to the CO). Thanks.

Nice hide BUT the bloke from nowhere and he is not happy with the geopeople around here near his property. he took the cache off so don't go because no cache there anymore till owner's decision what to do with it. Sorry Smithy's Rule.

Logging caches on my personal trackable.

Took a while because it was hard.Good camo but we were determined!
Really really hard but found it in the end. Love where it is! Really creative idea!

Third strike out. Will try another day.

Tftc nice camo

Nice camo

No luck for me today on this one, and thois was going to be the last before I headed home, so I was forced to go back around to grab another one (or three) in the Lowlands series to finidsh on a find for the day.

Tftc

Awesome

This one was proving quite tough to find. Not sure why I noticed it in the end but it had fallen apart. So after searching around where I found it I managed to place it all back perfectly. TFTC.

A quick find for me today. TFTC.

Loved it! but only after touching it, moving it and eventually Mrs ASO grabbing it! Found with Kieran6 & whitemushroom! A fav point from us!

I could cry ... in tandem with the All Struck Out crew (including kieran6), and this diabolical Cache could only be found by one of all of us ... and it was! Thank you Mrs ASO, for a find that defied all the Caching senses. An congratulations to Smithy's Rule for a simple and brilliant Cache. TFTC

NanaFozz and MamaFozz couldn't get this one out of their heads. Returned today for another look and it was a case of second time lucky. MamaFozz had her hands on it a couple of times before it clicked. Very well hidden!

The property manager came out of his driveway, saw us parked there and questioned what we were up to. Turns out people use that area as an entrance to steal from his property. He was fine after a quick explanation...and having the three BabyFozzes along helped put him at ease.

Find #2 for the newbie Fozzicker clan.

this one was a pest !!! we knew from instinct what we were looking for ! still took 10 minutes for Mrs R to take the booty , twas a great day to be caching and this one inspired the rest of our hunts , cheer

Looking for micros hanging in trees was destroying my enthusiasm for cacheing. Nice one but tune for me to move on. Tftc

Spent an hour looking with my Mum and kids, but sadly we didn't have any luck. We saw a stone sitting on top of the first wooden fence pole and assumed it was around there somewhere, turned over sticks and stones, searched in pipes, checked holes in the fence poles, went traipsing through the bush. Really not ready to give up on this one. Frustrated! LOL

I'm rubbish at this but I keep trying!

So cool. Have never seen a cache quite like this before so it gets a favourite from us. Had to read logs and still got stuck, but then saw something sticking out. Thanks for this cache.

I'd done all the Lowlands caches except #9 the multi so went into town and get the info and then came out to get this one which I saw pop up. A nice quiet spot but there were a few utes coming and going from the beef stud plus a ride-on mower went past! I concentrated on one spot thinking I knew what I was looking for - expanded the search and found something I'd seen plenty of versions of before but not quite like this. Nice work. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Made my way along these caches with friends . Some of these hides proved to be a bit of a challenge. Especially this one. We seemed to be sharing the find duties as we struggle to make these grabs before dark. Thanks Smithy's Rule. SL

How devious some caches can be!! Although having a clue what to look for it still took a while to locate the hide!
TFTC Wilbert67

It took a return visit. TFTC

TFTC Such a unique hide! SL

Great cache like you said very unique.

TFTC

Not today anyway

It certainly blended in. Weill have for it another go.

Nice hide. Quick grab. TFTC.

An amazing cache and my favorite in a long time, loved the hide. Found rather quick tftc

Found, while visiting Sydney.
Clever hide, didn't take us long to find it.
Added paper.
TFTC

The wife sent me to the shops for ingredients to make dinner....so I went caching TFTC

Looking around and was not sure if I would find this one without Chip, however something caught my eye, and there it was!

Cheers

Very clever!

Needs new log
Very clever, we found it easy luckily, but wouldn't have looked there if we weren't intrigued by something

My type of cache. Easy find. Log needs to be replaced

Phew a paf got me home nice hide,cheers

A very clever little cache - easy enough to find when you know where to look!!
Only down side was dropping my keys and spending 5 minutes on my knees looking for them ??

This was one tricky cache. Thing had us looking everywhere but where it was. After coming back to the car for a drink and heading back something caught my eye...... What is this? I then realised we had CIH. TFTC

Unlucky #13! Good co-ords and description, clever cammo, had just done another local one that was hidden the exact same way!! TFTC SL

It dose blend in well
Sl thank you

We drove almost up to this one, got out and found it in the first place I looked.
Great hide!
TFTC

Such a great Cache!! It was our first day searching for Micro's so was slowly getting the hang of finding them and what to look out for.
Eventhough we were beginners the clues really helped!
Thank you to everyone who gave clues, it was fun to really think about it!
This is definately my favourite Cache, and the most fun we have ever found!

As the description says, it blends in well. This makes it a great hide, because it looks like it belongs.

TFTC.

Took some time to find this one. looked and looked and still looked before, hmm thats not quite right.. ahh now it makes sense......

Out for a spot of caching in the Hawkesbury with Smurfyguy. Arrived at GZ and after a search of the usual spot we began to scratch our heads. Smurfyguy then retreated and told me to hurry up! It was obvious he had found the hide. He pointed me in the general direction and, like others before me, I noticed something just not quite the same. A clever cache placement. Well done. Log was signed and we were on our way well satisfied. Thanks Smithy's Rule for your work.

What a neat cache. This one took me a couple of attempts before I finally located it. Must of touched it a couple of times before realising it was actually the cache.

Best cache I've done do far. Must have stared at it, even held it, but didn't realise. After rereading logs & thinking about it the penny dropped.

Nice one

Found with mcoxen

This is a sneaky cache and very well thought out. Took about 15 minutes of looking before something just didn't feel right. Ah ha, Cache! Signed log and put it back for the next cacher to pull some hair out.

Happy Mothers Day....this is what caching is all about...a great tricky hide with great coordinates....well done....we arrived in the dark & thought that we wouldn't have luck tonight but geohubby is on a role...we too found the local hunts man but I think he was just interested in what the crazy people were doing in the bushes with torches & car lights shining on him....we spent about 20min looking for this when we were about to give up & walk out geohubby says found it sticking out....you get a favourite point from us....T4TC

Great hide... all very peachy... thanks

After a lot of looking, stop for lunch found it.
Log wet, hung around a while with it in the sun to dry.

King Toblerone and I had a DNF on this one. Found a suitable spot but no cache.

man i like this one its so good one but a bit wet

Easy find, nicely done.

Cheers

The cache guardians were at it today. They had the water canons firing and covering GZ. I couldn't get out of my car without being "shot", or rather, drenched. I would have looked a ripe turnip with an umbrella under the water on a sunny day looking for this little unit.
I'll be back.

Great hide. Went at night time but failed to find. Came back in daylight a few days later after a bit if a think and found it straight away. Well done. TFTC.

Found a few weeks ago and forgot to log. Ironic name, helpful hint. Tftc

Attacked this one after dark and the large resident huntsman was none too pleased when i unsettled him. Anyway stuck to my hunting and soon had the cache. Quality hide. Thankyou

Well constructed took a while to spot, but that’s the idea of a good hide, thanks.

This is becoming a very popular style of hide. With good co-ords it was a quick and easy find after the horse riding muggles were out of sight.

TFTC

Well done. Not too hard, but great camo. Thanks.

Awesome hide. Blends very well, you can have your hand right on it and not even notice. It took us a while, but we tracked it down =) Found a tiny frog hiding in the fence too ^^

Thanks.

A caching Day with HomeDG, This waasn't a quick find and eventually found a well hidden cache
TFTC SL

Found while out on a cache run with Deputy Dog today.
After a fair hunt we found it!
Very tricky and clever hide.
TFTC

finally, don't U hate those types wot get caches first go! Well on third go i finally figger'd it oot!
well anyway wif Ute Dog by my side in the rain we got the bugger.
I think i am gettin' to dislike U and your caches.
Thanks Acko

I had my hand on this one but had doubts and resulted to a PAF. Thanks Chlomad! Note to self look under everything and turn things over before giving up! SL #77

A good hide. SL TFTC

It was in the second place I looked, fantastic hide but I have seen a few similar ones recently

Spent some time looking around before we found what was sticking out.
Really liked the camo.

Where is my wing man when I need him?

After a bit of a search we had cache in hand tftc

Ok Iam on a roll need to get to 400 and I thought this would be a good one while out here, and it was.... Great camo! Found after a little look around and recheck of the pointer.SL and RNTD safe.

Found with dad, my brother and Toriaz

Found with dad, my brother and toriaz

For four hours of time and a quarter tank of petrol, this was my only find today. I'd used a PAF and even then couldn't get it. Found after another call to me. At least one before a string of DNF's for the day.

Second find the day.

Thanks Smithy's Rule

Found it.

No demo' derby here today, unlike last Sunday!, just a quite Sunday afternoon.
Thanks SR.

Very clever, another challenging one from you Smithys_rule. TFTC

Excellent hide, had us scratching our heads for a second. Good stuff. TFTC

Clever hide , deffinately blends . Took a short time till we found it .

One of four finds I made in the dark on my high-speed tour through the Windsor and Richmond areas . . .

And this one provided me with some unexpected adventure and excitement.

I'd totally forgotten about RS's recent log, and rolled up to the lonely roadside GZ in the dark and put my highlights on the likely spot. Suddenly a flat-bed truck came out of a nearby gate and drove very slowly past me. I found that I urgently had to talk to someone on my mobile phone and stood there in the glare of my headlights as the driver scrutinised me and very, very slowly drove off up the road. I didn't move until he was out of sight.

I searched for about ten minutes, when another truck pulled up right beside me and stopped. I walked up to the driver and answered his question of 'What are you doing?' with my usual spiel on geocaching. He seemed little interested and told me that all the area around here was private property. I showed him where I was searching and asked him if it was private property too, and said I'd leave if I was causing any trouble. To my surprise, he said no, it was just bush alongside the road, and then became a bit more civil. He told me that hoons had recently been 'doing doughtnuts' around the area and making trouble. I assured him that I'd be gone soon -- and by that time he probably figured out that I was nearly 50 years older than the average hoon, and probably somewhat older than he was . . .

Somewhat shaken by this night-time encounter, but being of persistent nature, I decided to PAF to try to cut the search shorter. Unfortunately, although my Blue Mountains friend tried to help me out, I eventually found the 'cache container' quite a distance from where I gather it was supposed to be hiding.

Fortunately, it was in good shape and the log sheet was dry. TNLNSL.

After a moment's thought, I decided to replace the cache where my friend had found it. Hope I've done the right thing by the CO.

This is a clever camo job (if I may say so, having created four of these myself) and will be tough to find at night, or probably at any time of day. I think I was really, really lucky to stumble on it in the dark.

Many thanks to Smithy's_Rule for a good one -- and for lots of unexpected excitement!

Ok we didn't find it, but we did have some interesting entertainment.

After an extensive search, we were just about to call it quits when two P plated vehicles showed up, a small ute, and a hatchback. They looked like they were going to have a drag up the road, but they drove off further up and started to do doughnuts in the dirt road edge. By then my 9 year old daughter had returned to the car across the road with her brother, my wife and mother in law..

Next thing I know the hatchback is screaming down the road towards us in reverse with a 4WD right on his front bumper, the driver of the 4WD is yelling abuse at the driver, and saying that he has his rego number. I stay on the cache side of the road, hoping that they don't hit my family! Luckily they don't, and the hatchback careens across the turf farm trying to escape, with the 4WD in hot pursuit. The hatchback does a 180, and shoots off further across the turf farm, with the 4WD right up his backside. The 4WD smashes up the back of the hatchback and rams him through a wire fence. By now the 4WD stops for whatever reason, and the hatchback zooms past us with his rear end somewhat rearranged. Then out of nowhere a Falcon flys past in hot pursuit of the hatchback and they disappear up the road.

By now I decide that maybe we should give up on a find , and we head off to a more sedate cache up the road. Thanks for the show Smithy's Rules....

Thanks For The Cache Smithy's Rule
had a bit a search for this well hidden well disguised cache
loved it

Couldn't spot this tricky cache today
Will return another time for this

No luck this time but we'll be back. I think the logs can be a bit misleading.

This one was very difficult at night!

TFTC.

Very nice hide, I like the ones that have put some effort into the cache ...... Thanks Smithys Rule

Quick find on the way home from work building rally cars... the trampled grass led me to it! Nice hide. SL, TFTC! VK2GOM - Rob.

Saw this one first thing this morning but the night stalkers 92nty6 had already been out and found it.

Great job on the camo, poked around a bit before I spotted the tell tail signs.

Tks ... Smithy's Rule ... GazMag

Had to finish our movie before we headed out to get this newly released cache.
Name and clues gave us a good idea of what we were looking for.
Just had to start looking =)
We found a large spider in a small hole which looked a little annoyed, saw a bat fly over head, and sam saw a fat rat run over my head by inches =S
Soon we had CIH, very clever concept, most likely easier during the day though.
Thanks very much Smithy's Rule, just glad we were able to beat gazmag to this one =)
