Archived at the request of land owner.

Got it. F me that was hectic. Dogs going off. Owner shouting at dogs. Laying on ground using plastic spoon to extract rocks sitting on the container one at a time. Then using magnet to carefully extract. All the time panicking that the neighbour would spot me and accost me
Needs archiving

Have fallen behind in my logging yet again, but hey, logging a find isn't mandatory so guess it doesn't make much difference if it it gets done or not, but the backlog of drafts is getting out of control so thought I would do something about it. Found this one a while back when out in Northam for the WAGB Event. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find GrumpyBump. Tis probably best that it was archived though as the neighbour was most annoyed with all the kerfuffle of people visiting it over the weekend.

Thanks for a fun find. Unfortunately got told off by VERY upset neighbors who said the event had ruined their quite weekend because the dogs kept barking when cachers came to find. She even wanted me to show her where it was so she could "get rid of it". Didn't show her and gave up trying to explain.

Did not find and had a chat to the owner of the adjacent house who wasn't too impressed with the visitors disturbing her and parking in front of her property upsetting the dogs.

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE

Now in Northam for the #WAGB19 event, nipped out for some finds while in town, this cache found with SVKR_WA, Granett and Kyzabra. A quick nab under the watchful eyes of some other cachers.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache GrumpyBump you help make this game what it is.

Cheers for the cache it was something like my 2431 find, give or take a hundred of unlogged caches.

It's WA Goes Big day!

Out on an early morning geocaching run with the machman.

Perfect timing, arrived to find hhheddy and dezzabills already at GZ with the necessary extraction tool. TFTC

So out on another Geocaching weekender with Spatial Riq, this time off to the Northam for the 2019 WAGB. Great weekend picking up nearly 70 Caches over the two days. A great variety in the area....

No probs here,

Made the find here, with OOH YEH, whilst attending WAGB. Owner of the nearby house was going crazy over the dogs barking, so glad we had the right tool with us and were able to retrieve the cache quickly. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

This is find #1975 for us

Found this one with redlipsandunicorns whilst attending WAGB. I was wondering if we would be able to get this one as the dogs were going crazy and so was the guy shouting at them. I had the right tool with me so getting the container was easy today TFTC Grumpy Bump

Dnf. Couldn't climb and neighbours and dogs were getting annoyed

Stay away. Neighbor is threatening to call police

Didn’t attempt this one as the local who lives nearby is a little grumpy about everyone visiting today for WAGB! Another time maybe

Was out caching in the arvo of the event with HHHeddy and we stopped by here and luckily we parked on the right side of the railway and walked around and headed up the bank to look for the cache. Only then did we realise that this was a waste of time. As i have a bung knee it was challenging to get down to where the cache was and luckily steve found it after a bit of searching around. I would not say that this is between the peppers. Thanks for the cache grumpybump.

New cache installed on behalf of grumpybump.
This one wont rust away like the last, but you will still need a tool to extract it

Found while on a doing that some maintenance work for with bristag

Stopped in here with cbjh1990, wow what a state the cache is in since I replaced it for grumpybump!!.
I have extracted the remains and taken the log book with me for now. A new cache will be installed soon

have serched for this one a couple of times with no luck not sure if its still there or not. the neighbouring muggle and his dogs are not the friendliest of people

Awesome cache. Needs some attention. Water damaged

searched for a while but could not find it

Cache is in pieces but just managed to poke the log out sign it and replace with rocks on the top. Beware sharp edges! TFTC

Definitely needs some maintenance but still found it. Tftc!

Found but had trouble extracting it just kept on falling apart tftc

We find ourselves in Northam on the most glorious of days. We have been travelling for 8 months, we left in January and headed to Darwin and then across to WA to complete the gibb river rd. We are not due home until Christmas and do we are seeing as much as we can, zig zagging from coast to inland
TFTC
Found the neighbors dog ok but the neighbor himself unfriendly

A day out around Northam to claim some more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here today, the neighbour’s dog wasn’t quite so happy though TFTC

Container looking a bit worse for wear & needs to be replaced. TFTC GrumpyBump

another good find

Found the container but didn't have a suitable tool so couldn't sign log

Couldnt spend time to search. Very grumby muggle and guard dogs.

Love it.

Neighbors dogs maybe not so much.

TFTC

We couldn't find this one today.

Thanks, that was a tricky extraction!

Found but could not extract

pug002 found it 8/2/2016. TFTC GrumpyBump.

Trtc, a little tricky to extract once found, but always up for a challenge

Found on a day caching with AusAngel. Great cache! TFTC

Heading out for some caching around Northam & surrounds, this was one we found along the way... We had seen this one had been replaced, so were happy to make a quick find of this one today Took a bit of handiwork to retrieve it, but we soon added our names to the book!

TFTC GrumpyBump... Maintenance flag can be removed as all is well with this one [^]

We think we found it. But our extraction tool wasn't strong enough. Oh well. Next time! Tftc.

Saw lots of DNF listed but its one of two in town left to find so decided to look anyway, I think I found where it was......I will email photo to owner so they can decide what to do.

Its back up and running SL TFTC

Back again today and no luck!
Asked some kids that were hanging around and apparently they destroyed it

Spent an hour and a half looking with no luck searched everywhere

In Northam running some errands, we stopped to TRY & find a few caches before heading home... We searched for this one for a while even despite what the logs say & we still could not find it

TFTH GrumpyBump This one appears be AWOL & needs checking, but sadly it seems that the muggles know of it's whereabouts.

Now i was hear 6 months ago and found it. But could not retrieve it. Come back today and its not there?

Not for us today.

Found it that was clever

Found at 1205.

Very tricky.

Second one very clever

Easy to find, hard to get out!

Found today at 14:00 on a trip down to Northam for some shopping. I think that putting a container where the sun don't shine is a bit mean, I actually tried to peer in here last time, but the sun wasn't at the right angle. Thanks to whoever left the exraction tool nearby, until I found the tool, I was prepared to give up again. TNLNSL TFTC

Second day of my loop through the wheatbelt. Looked every rock I could see and crawled through the pepper tree, but couldn't find this one and too flamin hot (44degC) to persevere. Maybe another time.

[:(!] Its up and running again, its a goer.

[:(!] Will check it out in the next couple of days and will replace it if necessary.

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.

Rocked up to this one only to have a suspicious muggle keep a beady eye on us. Saw the dnfs and realised it was probably gone anyway. Still a lovely spot to visit next to the river. Needs to be disabled or archived if it's missing.

I found this log on my gps not yet published, sorry for being so late! Heading east from Perth for a night in Northam, we found some nice caches along the way but not this one. I got a lot of scratches and spikes but no cache sadly

Checked it and yes it is missing or moved from original spot

Looks like it's gone, seemed to find the hiding hole and even a tool left hanging in the tree to remove the cache

We're pretty sure we found it's hidey hole but it's no longer there

Tried our damdest to find this one climed up and down the rocks no luck

What a blast. Geo hubby found extraction tool. I found cache. Together we can conquer the world. TFTC

Aaaand another beautiful spot along the Avon. I liked this cache, very well done.

TFTC

Stopped by to drop of a trade item. Can't as the lid has been screwed on so tight I can't undo it. Tried pliers, but no luck, only twisted the top hook.
May need checking by CO to sort out.

Nice hole. Good cache

Tfth great hide bell n bazley

Find #10 of 16 today on a caching run to Northam. And what a great cache; definately worth a fave point from us. Glad the geokids with their slender arms were with me to retrieve the container. TFTC

Came here some time ago and had no luck.
Quickish find today. Thanks for the effort put into this.
TFTC

In Northam with GeoJake21 and decided to find a couple of good caches and this was one of them
TFTC

Out with SykesKids doing a couple of caches in Northam.
It took a while but n easy find.
TFTC

biking in Northam for the day grabbing caches, very cool hide, and thanks to whoever left the extraction tool hanging about, T4TC

Good hide picked up travel bug

Found it. Signed it and replaced it. TFTC

Introduced my bro to caching Left the extraction device in the nearby bush

Number 3

It stares you in the face, a very inventive cache!

Great cache, handmade for a very original location. Small-handed member of the team not present so used the old bungee cord and stick method of extraction. A favourite point from us.

Confirmed no Porsche 911 TB present.

Great spot!!!

Found 22 march 2014 no need to climb to top of railway lines

Was a good hide!! our first find after not being able to find two others today. Took the pokemon card and left a ring

With being so far behind in my cache logging I'm unsure how far along my streak I am, as there are still heaps to log. Skinny arms are an advantage some times.

Discover Me tag thru

0825 GAFF1 But was very lucky that I had Fang Shaw (younger son) and MVMB with me on this trip to Perth, or I would have had to duck on down to a hardware store to get something to retrieve the cache. Good coordinates, but only left a pen, and not a CSM. Dry and intact. GLAD I don't live up the slope in the nearby houses if this mornings smell from the stream is anything to go by - BAD!
This is day #456 of my GeoStreak, but not sure how much longer it will be able to go (with home 3370 km away).
Brought through for mileage: 12-12-12 Event, 3 Bros NSW, Auckland NZ'13, B 2 B Travel ingot, CII-35Z, GCookie EARTH Cache 10 year Celebration Coin, Iconic Bridges 2012, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, Lulu the Ladybug Travel Tag, Mr Deep Blue, Natures Camo CITO (key), NZ Mega 13 signature, NZ Mega 2013 GCookie Coin, and trackable shirts.

Nicely done. You will need a lenght of wire to get to it.

Haha why buy a tool when u got long skinny arms avalible lol

Found it

Yay!!

Last cache of our trip back to Perth from Kalgoorlie. Found the cache with ease but how to extract it..... Set off back to the car to pick up possibles - caching kit, first aid box (!), ipad cable, Mint tin....... As I was heading back Mr O shouts 'bring the first aid kit'. 'Got it' I shout..... not realising that poor geokid2 was in need of it. She'd set off back to tell me that the first choice of extraction tool had worked (geokid1) but taken a tumble. Sigh. Great little cache - all the better for being able to get at it

Found a adventure Porsche 911 have taken it to another cache to help it on its way

Came here on the 6th and searched for awhile before discovering where it was but I couldn't extract it. Luckily I was back today to pick up my daughter so came with the appropriate tool. I would consider that a very safe cache. TFTC.

Great hide, clever

Great spot thanks

Well that was harder that I expected lol helps if you read all the description. But manged to improvise and got it. Tftc. Left TB

Quick cache before an amazing balloon ride over Northam the next day. On arrival at GZ the cache was in hand after within minutes. Extraction was a bit too difficult for me but lucky somebody in my party had the ability. TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH GrumpyBump

A clever well hidden cache which I have been saving until just before we left Northam. Arrived with no tools except my brain. Improvised and adapted what I had on me and was around to create the tool. Retrieved and signed log ! Left a Little gift for the next finder . Tftc !

Found it after 20mins trying to move everything in sight! Good hide, thanks very much

Nice easy find on a visit to Northam. TFTC
