Marmick 001 - The Old Road Karrakup, Western Australia, Australia
By Marmick on 18-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3B4MX

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Marmick, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Marmick and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

either cache numbers are out or cache gone ????

No luck for us either. Thanks

Will try again

No luck this time

Had a really good look around but wasn't too hopeful since the last time it was found was over a year ago.

A nice walk to GZ in the jarrah forest. It’s so nice up here. TFTC

Our muggle nephew found this one, think we might be converting another muggle! TFTC

Thank you! Out with papillon367 and Photo-Play for a little 4WD action. Happy to make the find here.

Found it. TFTC Marmick. Teamed up with papillon367 and ullyssia for a 4WD adventure. After we completed the Procrastination Installation series we started on this Stephen King series for as long as time permitted. Ran out of time and now just changing some green dots to Yellow on the way back.

Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play to tackle the Procrastination Installation series and start the Stephen King series. Found a few extra caches on our way home including this one. Thank you for the hide Marmick.

Great place for a sneaky RV overnight... But then you can do that in Jarrahdale too.

Quick find TFTH

A nice quick find while picking up a child from camp. TFTC

Kids loved this one

Found it, lovely area

Found it

Great find. Nice walk through the forest

Very goood hiding spot!

Discovered this cache while trying to find an escape from the Stephen King series. Thanks.

Miss-Placed and I came down to meet Becknmonts for one last caching adventure before she ventures further afield. We headed off from Gero finding a few geocahes along the way, we stopped at Moora for Breaky and with quite a few laughs along the trip down, we got there.

Day 4 early start again we have a lot of geocaching planned again today, off we go jiggling just a little bit again, lots of big puddles, nice dirt tracks on stand by me series and a few others along the way
tftc

This is our last caching day with BecknMonts before she heads to the dark side, so we decided to pick up where we left off standing by me on the railway track, then maybe picking up few a the smaller series as the day continues.

Thank you to all the cache owners for placing these caches and maintaining them.  It has been a great trip and deciding to go for quality caches and not number hunting was a brilliant choice on our behalf and we have done nothing but laugh and enjoy the caches we have have found.

Gabs1963 and Miss-Placed came down to meet up with me for one last caching adventure before I venture further afield. We finished being civil to each other yesterday morning, and we started to stand by each other. Today we are hoping to finish the series as well as get some random caches. I love this area, and hope to be back soon. TFTC Marmick

**Day 7** into my House Sit in Bedfordale*...

*Out and about letting my GPS be my guide*...

A pleasant day to be out and about. Parked nearby and strolled to GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Marmick. Appreciate your efforts.

A short search, stamped log and replaced as found.

Familysteiner and my 50th cache for the day tftc

Our final cache find of the day. Quick grab here. TFTC

Found “Marmick 001 - The Old Road”. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH Marmick.

Catching up on logging caches as I always forget todo this part after finding with Cravo10 and Barnzy12

I'm not usually home from work when I am unwell however I have several trainees under me at the moment and as I wasn't feeling very well they insisted I stay home, don't mind if I do. I had a great sleep in after planning my journey last night and saving the caches to an off line list.

I woke to the sound of rain and was instantly demoralised, soon however the rain slowed so I got in the car. Halfway to the starting point the rain stopped and the sky's cleared the making of a good geocaching day.

The main agenda today was the procrastination series however after the heavy rains the geocar was a little out of its depth. I soon turned around and started on some other caches in the area until attempting from the other end. Again the geocar ran out of solid ground and will have to return to get the patch in the middle.

All caches were found in good condition started logging in pen until that gave away and then moved to pencil. All caches were placed back as found.

It's very disappointing to see the dumping of rubbish in some of these areas. This area sees some real attention from the motor /dirt bikes and can come around some corners very quickly.

Out today since the weather was nice

tftc marmick quick easy find on my way past the area.

After completing the procrastination series was great to grab a few more to make it 50 finds for the day. This was found in a great location and all in order. Tftc beautiful spot

After finishing the procrastination series we stopped in here for a quick find. TFTC

Tftc, found with jackylegs 44

Originally found under family caching name "clan-wallace". Geohubby wants his own caching name, so I get to re log them for him!

Out to do the Gradem series today but could not pass this one by. Nice, clean container in good order. Left ' my little pony'. Nice bushland too. TFTC

Out in the mighty patrol today with nick to collect the procrastination installation 46 through to 1 we found them all in good condition and left path tags along the way.

The weather was spot on and there was even some mud for the patrol to splash about in !

We picked this one up on the way home we found it in good condition. we realy enjoyed this little bundle of caches all good size with plenty of swaps.
sorry for the generic log

thanks for the series.

Collected 60 caches all up for a grand total of 850 on the way to the gollden k 1000- caches

Fernweh* and Nick.

TFTC! Was out today with he intention of completing the procrastination series, the jarrah dale log chop series along with a couple of oldies and some odd ones I've missed on other visits to the area. Was a great day out with a good amount of finds in nice enough weather. Thanks

Headed out today to have a look at the new 'Procrastination' series and decided to pick up some of these older Gradem hides and a couple of Marmick ones along Nettleton rd on the way that have been on the to-do list for a while.

Originally missed the turn off for this one and had to backtrack for about a kilometer before finding 'The Old Road'. Parked up and had short stroll to GZ where the cache was found quickly.

Marmick I found your cache at 12:44pm, this was the 8th of 16 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2367. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Found on my way home from the Pre AH2016 camp

TFTC easy find

Second visit for this one today, last time I had no reception and pouring rain, today I had saved the cache to offline and was an easy find. TFTC

First ever find. Great spot

Nice easy find

Whilst doing a few caches along nettleton rd thought I'd check this out. I new a controlled burn off was done here recently so was concerned it was gone. The outer back was melted but cache fine. Thanks

It is a wet day on my day off and I still heading out to get about 30 caches for the day....It was a very wet walk here with some tricky hides on this walk...TFTC

A little addition to the Gradem caches that I have set for today. Pleasant bit of bush here. TFTC Marmick!

Found on my way up the hill towards Manjedal to map out an area of land for a hiking exercise early next year. Covered 26km on the pushbike today, but thankfully, didn't need the bike here. Quite a nice walk in from the old road, everything is nice and green. Quickly made the find at GZ, TFTC.

Good Hide TFTC

What a wonderful little spot. First find for one of the geokids. Traded toys. TFTC

Great spot. Love the aussie bush! SL TNLN TFTC

Out for a day of exploring Jarrahdale & surrounds with my family today... Mum found this cache! Thanks Marmick

A quick, easy find while on our tour of The Jarrahdale area. Unfortunately, there was moisture inside the container, and the logbook was damp .... and i have no doubt that this was not helped by the plastic bag full of holes that the container was wrapped in
We dried it out as good as we could in the drizzly rain, and returned the cache to its hiding spot. TFTC Marmick

Visited on a very wet day. Took TB

Found this one in the rain.

Wow... The plan is to come back and nail the caches in the area. But grabbed this one quickly while driving around the area..

Another walk through the beautiful bush for a quick find. TFTC

An RDO today and I decided to head into this area for the first time. I completed some of the AP caches up the road and then headed for this cache. Very quiet area and the cache was easy to find. TFTC Marmick.

Our first in this series, and a quick find left us hoping the rest of the day would be so simple. Kids loved the fact that we were doing regular sizes today so had come prepared for some serious swaps [^]

Out caching with Me&B, she picked up the old road and then we were off into the bush for a nice quick find. TFTH

A great day for caching, I dropped the son off at work this morning and decided to do a long loop and grab some caches that have cropped up in the area since I last had a chance to get up here.

I over shot the turn off, but soon found a spot to retrace my steps, turned on to the old road and parked nice and close to the GZ. Wandered quickly through the bush and found the cache with out any delay.

I have enjoyed this series, a little disappointed that I could not find 002, but I will be back to clear that sucker

Thanks Marmick for the series

After completing this series I thought how nice bush settings are for caches.
Thanks Marmick

Scouting about with AmstradKid, while looking for some possible cache hides, decided to pick up this enjoyable series. A quick find in an area I know so well. TFTC Marmick SL TNLN

Found without problems.
