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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Left a new logsheet in the local cache. The cache can be enabled when you are ready.
 
27-Sep-17
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.

This definitely needs attention. Too many DNF's to still be there. We tried and the co-ords are way out in the car park.

Hi there Homer&Lisa.

This is the 1st of 2 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 11:09:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache. It's either not there, a very clever hide or we are just suffering from "cache blindness", so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Crap coordinates (in the middlle of the car park) didn't help much either.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Was originally heading to Orroroo today for a luncheon with an author. I spent the previous night downloading caches for the drive home that I slept in and made it late to the luncheon. Oh well, might as well do the caches anyway! Second to last cache of the evening. Cache had me pointing in one direction but hint suggested otherwise. Cache in hand in no time. Didn't realise there was a farmer parked on the far side of the road, was he watching me? I hope not!

Today we had a very late start to the day but finally at lunchtime we made a move of the caravan to Laura. On arrival camp was set and Mr Felix then set out ot explore whilst Mrs Felix stayed home to cook soup! [B)]

This was one of the caches he found whilst out alone.

This was the 1st find of a total of 49 caches found by Boxer and 5 Vietnam veterans club member mates, on a 10 day trip up to Marree, then onto Mt Dare, across the Simpson desert to Birdsville,then back down to Marree, then home to Kadina. A very interesting and at times very challenging trip. Stopping to find caches helped break up the trip and get out and stretch the legs.Thanks for the cache hide.

On our Mother's Day/Weekend ramble, and we decided to head out to Appila Springs, so we made a stop at this cache on the way. Loved the old gate made by the blacksmith. One of Mrs Wibble's work colleague's grandfather (try saying that three times fast!) apparently unveiled this plaque.

Following a 4WD Club event at Melrose and driving out via the Bridle Track, it was time to head inland and grab a few caches on the way home.

Quick find and sign and a chance to have some lunch. TFTC. Big Grin
 
13-Aug-12
After a very enjoyable couple of days in Whyalla picking up quite a few caches, meeting some of the local teams at the 4wd event and even clocking up our 10,000th cache find it was time to start heading home again but of course we had to grab a few on the way out. This was a great memorial to the districts early pioneers and it was good to still be able to see some of the workmanship of Appilas first blacksmith still there. There was some very interesting information on the more recent athletic and cycling that used to happen here as well. The cache was located in an obvious location and our name is now in the log.
Many thanks Homer&Lisa for bringing us here.

Mr matmob's grandmother grew up and went to school in Appila. We have been up in the area this weekend trying to find out some family history, but we have never been able to find out just where they lived in Appila. The surname is Maywald if anyone might have some info. So we were pleased to find a cache here. Also took a photo of the gates here, to add to my gate photo collection. The cache was wet, so we dried it out as best we could in the sun. Thanks so much for the cache.
