7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

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

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.

Stay safe when caching. Watch for snakes, random cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only ones you share and pass on Big Grin

2020 turned into 2020won, and 2020too is on the way! 2020free should see us through Razz

Still important to observe social distancing when possible, (150 nano caches apart should do it)
Still important to wash your hands (always has been really [:o)]
Still very important to look after each other and take precautions & get checked out for even the tiniest sniffle or cough, or unexpected headache! [8)] [B)]

Still even more important to get some fresh air and exercise while we can, so get out and cache the country!

Thanks so much to all those placing caches out and about away from the city crowds,
keeps our game safe and interesting Cool

So we were all set to fly to Dayboro for the Queensland Mega this weekend. There hadn't been a case in Qld for a quite a few weeks before we decided to book in early Feb. What are the chances of a case causing a lockdown and closing the border we thought..So when it all did happen just 4 days before we where due to leave, we were royally peed off. So we had to cancel and find somewhere else to spend Easter. Pt Broughton was a last minute choice. Today we pulled up stumps and headed to White Cliffs campground to join friends for Easter Sunday/Monday. After setting up camp we headed back into town with Chrispy89, travellinbees and Michelle. A quick find as it was laying on the ground out in the open. Looking at the terrain rating I assume its supposed to be in the tree so thats where it was replaced.. TFTC

Catching up with some very late logs.
Heading down from Port Pirie to Adelaide to visit a friend who is laid up in hospital we did manage to break the drive with a few cache stops along the way.
Although we the country side looks great with all the green under growth it has been making searching a lot more difficult than it should have.
Happily we did not have that problem here and the well hidden cache was soon in hand and our name added to the log.

Many thanks to GamerLover for a great first cache. a favorite point from us.

Time to cache again after the hot spell of summer! Goingtheredoingthat, KarpyKarpyson and myself embarked on another short expedition to retrieve lost treasure on a lovely Saturday morning/afternoon. I think we collected 22 smiles all round. GTDT found this one easily.
 
Found while on a Saturday morning caching trip with Limbage and Karpykarpson. Find number 11 of 22 for me.
This cache was a space invader.
