Time to go

[u]MAINTENAINCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]I notice from one or more recent log entries that this cache [u]appears[/u] to be in need of owner intervention. Therefore, I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; "if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can."

Please respond to this situation by 30th November to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/blue]

Please see my photo attached to my last log I found it destroyed unfortunately and had nothing with me to repair it for you sorry!

I was in the area after picking up some duck eggs to hatch at my sons school. Geodaughter was happy to play and I was looking forward to a bit of a challenge, there were quiet a few DNF's so I wanted to see if I was good enough without Geohubby to find it. Unfortunately I did locate the cache however it's destroyed beyond use. See photo attached of what is left of the log TFTC anyway

Third time lucky! Good job Alex and Liv!

Searched and searched, pretty sure we were in the right spot

Really hard couldn't find it

Good little hide took a few mins well hidden

Cache is still there its very well hidden. Took tb

Felt the pressure to leave as a couple of families came to use the playground so we only had about 10 minutes to look. After looking at the logs and thinking about it at home, I have a few ideas next time we visit.

Long search but dnf

Don't log needs maintanance if you don't find the cache it's called DNF

At location but nothing here. This is our very first search. Might have been stolen.

Didn't find micro container after a big search. Might have been muggled. Good location.

I was driving by when this cache popped up on my TomTom, checked the Etrex30 and yep there is cache nearby. Pulled up and went cache hunting. I spotted GZ straight away and put my GPSr away. Seached in a few places and then tried a few more places. went back to a place I had searched before and came up with the cache.
I signed the log, dropped off "The stolen Wang" geocoin and then replaced the cache.

"Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

TFTC Bounty Trackers

We came with our three kids who found it months ago with another geocaching group and we couldn't find it despite already knowing location... We dug around with a stick to try to clear some debris and still couldn't locate! May need a new one in a nearby location...

Was here with jared75182 and Guzzling who had already found it. We went to where it was and it does not seem to be there after 15 mins looking. Say it has been muggled.

Few splinters no cashe :'(

Out for another Thursday caching adventure with BorisB&Natasha. After the shocking weather last week we were very thankful that the sun was shining today. However that didn't seem to help us much with a lot more DNF's to add to our list.
When we arrived in the handy carpark provided there was a muggle family enjoying the playground. By the time we had looked up the next cache to move on to they were leaving so we were able to go have a look. We spent so long looking for this but determined to not get another DNF for the day we were about to resort to a PAF when I found it in a place we had looked several times.. Doh! Were so relieved to be signing our names in the log.
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Out again with Nut bear on our usual Thursday caching run. After waiting for a muggle family to leave we then had the place to ourselves. Searched and searched then just as we were going for the PAF option Nut bear found it in a place we had both searched before. Very well hidden and we were very pleased to make the find.
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache.

We decided to have a go at this one between torrential rain and thankfully a nice quick find, bigger than expected. Tftc

We also did the original cache at this location. A great place for a hide. SL TFTC

TFTC! Surprisingly fast to find this one - nice hide

TFTC

Awesome hide. It took us a while but still got there. TFTC

Really awesome hide! Loved the cache!! TFTC

Out for the day to do a spot of geocaching with good caching buddies Earthbound Chief. We decided that this one was search until find. So search we did. Cache was found eventually after only around 15min looking. TFTC.

Out on a caching day with the Walenators. It turns out we had the right idea initially just took us a while to find the right contortionistic position. Mr W chose correctly and made the find. TFTC Bounty Trackers

Well this is the third attempt and I brought the geo kids to help this time. With muggle teens nearby we had to be very careful. I search all of the spots I am sure I've done before and still nothing. After almost giving up for a third time, M tapped something that was not metal. With a little more effort he had the cache in hand. What's worse is that he found it in a place I had already looked for a third time. Well done M, it's now of the list to find. TNLNSL. TFTC. KeMS

Great find, kids had fun. TYFC

Very tricky to find

You don't put a log of Owners maintenance when you cant find the cache you only put it if you find the cache and it is damaged you need to log it as a DID NOT FIND I know the cache is still there as it is very well hidden.

Still can't find this one I have been searching for ages

Saw where it would be as soon as we pulled into the car park.......

problem was 2 little muggles were climbing all over it

only had to wait 2 minutes and they moved on
in for a quick find

tftc

Found after getting the kids to come play on the structure without them may have been a bit of a trickier hide TFTC

Drat!! Pulled up at near GZ only to find the entire park was overtaken by a community planting day.
This will be one for another day

Well hidden cache. Another one ticked off my Local Hides. with aplcore. TNLN

Nice tractor, good park for grand kids TNLN. With Aplady.

Sure I was in the right place because of the name, but took me ages to find it! Nice crop of toadstools growing right next to it! TFTC!

Was a little difficult great hide

We found this cache today at 4:45pm as the 16th of 18 on our 4x4-2 Bunyip Tour in company of Pprass. I remember searching this beast for a cache about 8 years ago but we came up with a DNF on that day. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found at 4:45 PM GAFF1 in the company Rabbitto.
We found the cache that was here years ago - last time a little girl came up to p-pprass and asked him if he could push her on the swing!
We searched all of the nooks and crannies and were surprised to find such a good sized container.
Thanks Bounty Trackers.

Found on my second go although the first was badly interrupted by a group of muggles. Not such a hard find on this interesting item after all, thanks Bounty Trackers.

Found this one today. I know I said that I wasn't coming back but I am trying to clear all my previous DNFs and to actually get the caches - this one fits in this category so I came back. I also had had a hint from a previous finders (thanks D) so I had some idea where to look. Today I had the park to myself which was good as it still took me an inordinately long time to finally find this cache. Signed log but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers - Phew that is another one off my to do list.

Just realized I forgot to log this one, am sure I have been to this spot before. Thanks for the cache.

Another Monday night and another Demolition Crew cache run with the usual suspects being Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and Quasar3671. As always another great night, with lots of laughs and some great caches found as always. A warm and humid night was had by all. My thanks to all the CO's for their efforts in placing the caches we found. The run took us to the eastern areas of Melbourne, and a bit further than that. We were also lucky to find 3 FTF's for the night, all multi's, which was sensational.

No problem here with some previous finders on board. TFTC.

A really liked this one. Did not realize what the name meant until we navigated right up to it. Took a few minutes to find but was definitely worth the stop.

A few mugglers about but with a heard of kids it looks legit.TFTC

Found while out with Pau Pau & Co.TFTC

Got dropped off in bunyip today to see a friend of a friend. Thought we would stop by and find this one while we were there. Good hide, it was my friend that found it though. Took us over 15 minutes and a phone call to find it. TFTC

it took me and my friend 15 minutes and a phone call to one of his friends to find this cache although it is in quite an obvious place

As we approached the McCormick-Deering we were surprised to see a cage surrounding it and a truckload of muggle workers. However after parking the car we realised that they were on the move so we opened a small space for the skinniest member of our group, the "nano specialist". He took a little longer than we were comfortable with - after all I am certain we looked rather suspicious, however he soon had the cache in hand. A quick sign, return and escape from the cage and we were off. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache and some real fun!

TFTC
A bit of a challenge to get to the cache, well hidden.

Arrived to find GZ fenced off for renovations and the cache locked behind.
We circled like caged animals around the perimeter, odd being on the outside and wanting to get in.
Soon we found a small opening which we managed to squeeze Mr Corroboree through (the skinniest of us) and after a bit of searching a find was made.
TNLN. TFTC

Arrived at the area today to find GZ safely protected behind some temporary fencing whilst the area undergoes a facelift. Too high to get over, too low to get under - luckily there was a little gap in the panels, which we squeezed through. The cache was quickly in hand, found in the 2nd place I looked whilst mr 2max was still busy checking out the tractor. Being farmers we just have to give this beast a favourite point! and little did we know but just an hour or so later we would meet the CO hunting for a FTF in a town up the road. Was great to meet you Bounty Trackers, we both enjoyed chatting with you and sharing stories. TFTC

Had 45 minutes spare as I headed to pick Cee up from school, so stopped at Bunyip on my way through to get this cache. After a lap of the GZ thinking of spots to hide a cache I soon had it in my hands. Log signed then off TFTC

Found it with some difficulty, particularly due to small muggles.TFTC

Another wet afternoon at least I was on my own. TFTC.

Another epic fail [B)]

I was out caching with Biggles Bear for the day when we attempted this one. We've been here before for a previous cache, in the exact same spot (but it must have been a multi, because I can't find it in GSAK). We looked for a while without success. We decided to move on rather than keep looking. Hopefully, it's stil there. Thanks for placing it.

Another one of these things in one of those things - much time wasted here and geokids rapt.

Third attempt and I can cross this off my list. Your a bad bad man bounty trackers but my kids think your cool.

This was a "nemesis" cache when Team Diesel had it and this time was no different. Fortunately there were no junior muggles around so we could search in peace. Had no luck and the junior muggles were giving us the big stare so we called a friend. Hang on they said, we will start up GSAK and call you back. Just as the phone call came through, we found the cache, must be good Karma here. Thanks again Bounty Trackers.

Nice easy find, only took us 5min before Mattman Wanted had his hand on it! Great park, not sure where others have been looking for it as coordinates are pretty spot on. Thanks

Nice easy find TFTC

Trying to catch up on finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

Out on a caching outing with Coley_Babee.
We had the place to ourselves due to the weather, but Lady Luck wasn't in our favour.

Thanks anyways Bounty Trackers for this cache.

No luck with this one today

Searched for over an Hour
Nothing found got muggled out so will come back another day
Thanks for the challenge

Running an errand down to the big smoke today I thought i'd drop in here and have another crack at this one. Well, I'll be. It was there all along. I must not try looking in all the really nasty places before checking the easy ones lol. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the hunt.

Being cooped up the last few days with lousy weather we thought that we would take the opportunity today to get out and pick up a few local caches that even though they are so close to home we never seem to find time to look for them. We pulled up here with a feeling of de-ja-vue and remembered getting a first to find on a multi that ended up here almost seven years ago. This one was hidden very close to where the previous one was. Being cold and wet we had no muggle problems but it still took us a lot longer than it should have to find the cache. We think it was three laps but at least we have managed to get our name into the log.
Thanks again Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Being the first day of school holidays there were some teenage muggles plonked at the shelter right near GZ. With them showing no sign of moving, I set off to complete the nearby Bunyip multi. Upon my return the park was still occupied, so decided to leave it for today. Thanks for the hide anyway.

Nice tractor!! Bit bogged though!!!

Found by Bob at 1230

When I saw the name of this one, and the town it is in, I immediately recalled an old RDMC cache (#10) which utilised the same spot (it also had the local Hall as its 1st wp - so you've covered its loss well via this cache and the Aunt Pearl one). The old cache had a very precise hint, which made for an easy find - but there are so many spots to hide a micro on these sorts of things that (combined with the usual muggle factor) they can be a real pain. Fortunately, today I was lucky and, after checking the old hiding spot, I managed to put my hand on it in the next place I checked - it's rather larger than the usual micro, so that helps, I guess.

TNLN

Thanks once again Bounty Trackers

Last one for today before we get back to home.
when arrived there oh no, I hate it but luck quickly found it.
also no muggles playing today phew.

After a year of having the Time Waste series sitting in my 10 km radius from work I have finally completed #’s 1 – 8. After knocking off three finds previously, tonight was the night to remove the remaining five from the radar. With the weather threatening to pour I spent the evening in the car going from one cache site to the other. Some caches were clearly easier than others, but all in all I enjoyed myself, except the shower at about 9:30 in Cockatoo which had me drenched from head to foot. I had originally planned to pick up a few caches in between, but I didn’t expect some of series to take an hour to walk in and back. I dropped a few traditional caches off my radar for the night and logged the caches that mattered.

After having picked up the second Time Waste for the night I then stopped here to grab this one. nice play equipment. Left green gecko keyring. Thanks Bounty Trackers.

Found @1450 #1142
A quick find but made possible due the heat as there were no muggles about playing near by. TFTC Bounty Trackers another of yours found today.

Team Morno (Mornington), Consisting today of Hazey1 and myself out and about on a kid free weekend, today a trip to Yarragon's progressive garage sale and grab a few caches on the way. Heading back West now on our way home, nighttime caching!
Im more of a Fordson Tractor myself, but I still hate to see vintage tracors in this state
Nice cache tho, and its definately the 29th now
TFTC

TFTC; Quick find; early hours; no muggles (lol). Found by TeamMorno (Hazey1 + Saulman1010)

9th find of the day, and 3245th total find at 12:29

We've visited this park before, many moons ago.
Penny searched down one side and Ian searched the other. When we swapped sides I found it where Penny hadn't looked.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache

Called in here on my way downtown today. No kids about but you could sure see where they had been. Every oriface on this thing was filled with the tanbark from the playground lol. Had a bit of a search but conceeded fairly quickly. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the detour. I'll be back.

No kids in the playground today, thankfully. At the start we were thinking this could take awhile and be like those infamous cannon hides. But the cache was soon in hand. TFTC and showing us this park.

So frustrating when all the previous logs say how quickly they found it. Ten minutes later we were still looking and wondering where else it could possibly be. Like most finds, you really have to wonder how you didn't find it sooner! Hind sight is a wonderful thing. Great location and surprisingly no kids today. Some nearby muggles in their garden were probably wondering what we were doing in the park with no kids though. Thanks Bounty Trackers. SL

01-01 4th find of the day at 13:57 and 1361st find in total.
We know this tractor, we have been here before.
This time the cache was a bit bigger & easier to find.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Bounty Trackers for the caching fun!

{Sent from a mobile mind, not a mobile device.}*** +

KIDS, KIDS, KIDS. what on earth are they doing in a playground? Oh yeah..... playing.
I guess i'll forgive them.

Took a couple of attempts to get this as the kids were keen to hang around. We went off to do another cache close by then returned to see them slowly departing.

Finally, we could start our search. Not long after, Jay had his hand on the stash.

Another great park...... for kids
TFTC

Dropped by on the way home for Xmas, we thought it would be easy find, but no luck! Looked all around where it should have been. Might pop in again on the way back to melb...

Found on caching run with four legends. TFTC

Gave ourselves 10 minutes to find this one but had it in hand fairly quickly. Felt rather please with ourselves

Found by Mary & David at 1125. We often have problems finding caches on objects such as this, even when they are bigger than a micro. Mary didn't even want to stop after reading about the previous DNFs. Decided to apply the 10-minute limit rule and give it a go. After a few minutes of systematic searching, David found it. Great relief! Our thanks once again to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

And its a DNF from me!

Failed to find this one [:B)]

6.40 On the way back from a great weekend with a group of squares in Rawson. Checking out a a few caches on the way with Toycar and Roulette. Thought this would be a good time to do this one as no muggles about. The four of us were looking for 30 minutes and then pulled the plug. We were surprised to see how rusted out the machine was, it seems dangerous for the kids as well as for caches.
Thanks anyway

It was a good night for caching, pretty cool and a reasonable amount of moonlight. I headed for Warragul to clean up some caches that had been down last time I was there as well as to find some new and older caches along the way.
After finding the nearby cache 'Confession Time' I finally made my way here after some detours and back roads. The area was deserted and I noticed two logs for the cache a DNF and a find. I approached GZ and saw the hide location, these can prove to be quite tricky. After a few minutes I had the cache in hand, luck was on my side tonight.
Tricky hide in a nice little park.

***FTF*** Found this evening at 10:10PM. This cache has been unfound for way too long so after a day at Phillip Island at the V8s, took the long way home to gather a few caches heading for this one. Got to GZ easily to see why kmace didn't like it, a playground with the item where the cache was having plenty of hiding places. It's dark now so no muggles about other than the occasional passing car so got stuck into the search. Probably thought too much as it took ages to find even though it should have only taken a few minutes given where it is hidden. Oh well, know the inner workings much better now! Thanks to the Bounty Trackers for bringing me here and the cache.

I am going to be the first to log a did not find for this one. I groaned when I saw where this cache was located as I thought that I had a possibly on the first to find on this cache and I prefer not to do these types of caches. There were too many muggles around so I had to come back later. Finally there was no muggles as I was going past so I stopped and then got to within 5metres of the cache and realised that the name of the cache was a major clue and I groaned some more as I don't have a good record with finding caches like this. I looked for about 15-20 minutes and had to log a DNF on this cache.

I will not be back to search further sorry the bounty trackers - I dislike these types of caches too much to come back.

Quick find at GZ with my mate Dunko TFTC SL

Quick find once at GZ with my caching buddy Slink1 TFTC SL
