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.

Needs maintenance as the cache is gone

Disappointing but not surprising given the number of other DNF.
 
14-Feb-22
DNF
We looked and looked but DNF
 
21-Jan-22
Like previous finders, found where the cache probably was, just no cache container to be seen.
 
28-Nov-21
This cache has definitely disappeared, or the ants are it. Again, I believe that size is micro.
 
28-Nov-21
This cache needs maintenance. Key ring found no cache attached

Had some spare time in the Northern area, so why not cache? Quickly found this cache under the close watch of a local duck, curious about my activities in the bushes. TFTC

Found during a trip out to the northern suburbs. Thanks for the cache Burton's!

Yep! A previous finder was spot on.......angle is everything. Fortunately it didn't take me too long to find the right angle and make a reasonably quick find. It's really pleasant around here this afternoon. TFTC

An afternoon caching with hevwalker had us out in the Badlands.
It was a lovely day to be out, the hint was handy and hevwalker made the find.
I hadn't been here before, so thank you for bringing us here Burton's.
 
15-Aug-20
Today clare007 & I were heading North to an event at Gawler...of course collecting a few caches on the way...
We had a lovely wander around the wetlands...
Took awhile to spot this one...had to look from the right angle...

Sneaky little guy but whilst sitting and whilst sitting pondering where to look next it caught my eye. Smile
 
08-Jul-20
Amazing catch, my friend and I did this at 12pm so we were here for a good 40 minutes but it was soooo worth it
 
03-Jul-20
I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February. Red Face
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat. Twisted
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again. Wink

Heading out for a Pizza and Puzzle solving night in the badlands I just had to stop and search for a few caches along the way. Cool My GPS took me to a likely spot where I sat and then searched nada. As I sat there I saw a slightly smaller than small item I recognized hanging around nearby. Sure enough this was the cache. Smile

***Thanks Burton's for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

We're by the river when we were about to DNF but luckily found it
TFTC!
 
28-Jan-19
Took a little bit of searching but found with a couple of others after the nearby CITO
 
28-Jan-19
Was wandering around the wetlands whilst collecting rubbish. Spent a while looking in the wrong locations for this one and before I knew it Davidwazza had the CIH.
Enjoyed the wetlands which are now a little bit cleaner thanks to the CITO.
TFTC and for getting me up, out and walking nice and early!
 
28-Jan-19
Whilst participating in the CITO in this wetlands area, jesswrigley and I strategically planned our walk via these traditional caches hidden here. This was the first cache of the day, and after a brief look with Michells&hound joining us, I managed to notice something to the side of it and sure enough, it was the cache. We managed to clean all the cigarette butts at this location here - perhaps the council should organise a cigarette little bin here or something (ideally the smoker should take their butts with them, but doubt that will happen). Nice park, thanks.

Not what the description says but found it just the same. TFTC.

Enjoying these caches, log signed and returned

Good hide - not quite as expected from the description, but still it was a nice quick find. Glad we got to this one before the mozzies arrive in swarms.
 
16-Sep-18
Found the cachenon a picnic. Easy find for a short stroll. Didn't bring a pen however so didn't sign the log
 
25-Aug-18
We were at a birthday party nearby this morning and couldn’t pass up the chance to search for a cache in this unexplored area for us. Geokid chatted to the ducks while I looked in some likely spots. Wasn’t too long before the cache was in hand and our name in the log. The log is damp & it looks like some of the writing has wiped off. We patted it dry as best we could & replaced it as found. TFTC Smile

Caching with Southern Cross Caching today, out searching for hidden creatures.

Headed to Gawler after completing the 60 series and had some late lunch. Fueled up we were ready for a few more.

After an early start with Rod81w on our waterbag trip from down south to attend the nearby CITO we continued to find a few caches around this area, one we don't get too very often at all. [^]

We parked the car at this one then went for a nice walk around the wetlands to get the three caches here. Big Grin A couple of them took quite a while to find the sneaky little things. Red Face

Thanks for the cache Burton's. Smile

A rare day out North with JJ52. After a early pick up we drove to this side of town for a CITO then cached our way around the area.

Nice walk in the wetlands to get the 3 caches in this series, some took longer than the others

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was in the area today for work and it was lunchtime so decided to have another try at this one. Had tried previously but there were lots of muggles in the area so could not conduct a decent search. Today, wandered up and spotted the cache immediately. Finally managed to retrieve, sign log and replace. Glad to get this one finally off the map.

02-May-17
Cache was checked today and still in play.
 
13-Apr-17
Attempted in the presence of a past finder. No joy. It's either not at the listed coordinates, moved, missing or much harder than the ratings suggest.

I too had a couple of quick looks but have to admit I didnt want to get down and dirty so may have missed it. Visited during doggy hour, might be easier at a different time of day. Thanks for bringing me to this cool spot
 
16-Mar-16
Had a quick look but to no avail. The area was busy with workmen. I’ll try again another day.
