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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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.

Possibly gone couldn't find it

Pretty sure this cache has been muggled! I just found a yellow car I left in there 5 months ago, over in the grass about 50 m from GZ. And the cache can't be found anywhere where it was when I found it.
Maybe it's time for the CO to replace?

Went to check on this one this morning and its been muggled.
I looked about as best I could where it was last time and came up empty handed. Maybe the CO can check and confirm this one isn't there?

After a hard day of burying my way through textbooks, I thought it would be only be necessary that I find some geocaches. I looked on the site and saw three close to home and off I went. This was the second for the night. I was trying to be as stealthy as possible, then a group of kids came to see what I was doing.. Oh, what's this? Geocachers! Woo.. They helped me find it and I'll be honest, I would have looked straight past that. It was nice to meet another cacher, then I was on my way! Very Happy TFTC!
 
02-Apr-13
Can cachers searching for this cache please cover up their search trail? I drove past and checked it this morning and its very obvious to some muggle that someone had been searching there! Just so that it stays there and doesn't get muggled. Not sure if you found it? but its still there! happy hunting!

This cache is so lucky I didn't chop it with the mower 6 months ago! I've walked and driven right past this cache as a muggle so many times and didn't even realise it was there! I noticed it was a bit poor swap wise so I put a few things in that I had in the work truck. I work in this area quite often so will keep an eye out and make sure this cache has enough camouflage. (Some tips for those hunting, watch out for dog mines along the fence and in the case that you find yourself on the wrong side there is a gate close by in the SE corner that is usually open) happy caching!

I remember doing this cache with my parents, and where the cache used to be it looks like a lawnmower has cleaned out and there is no cache to be found.

found it with etrex 30 it was spot on. great cache.
 
02-Jul-12
Gotcha!
A quick grab on the way to work.
The new log seems to have stayed dry in the recent rain.
I think the container is fairly watertight as long as it is clicked shut. You need to be fairly firm with it.

Thanks
 
22-Jun-12
Been here before for a cache also... This one was out in the open so replaced with a bit more cover..
Thanks tythataussieguy for the cache
 
22-Jun-12
Our 7th Cache of the day at 2:40:00 PM.

Found the cache easy enough but was uncovered in the open completely full of water might need to rethink the container for one that is a bit more water tight. We replaced it with a new log book as original was completely wet.

On first arrival the GPSr said 9 metres through the fence. Then it settled and took us 9 metres along the fence. Looking around I couldn't see a thing but my foot found it. It's surprisingly well hidden for this location. TFTC tythataussieguy!
 
20-May-12
We thought we were going to be muggled out on this one.
However we waited and the kids got bored and moved on.
Should have looked there first that's where the GPS said it was.
Went looking where I thought it was which was a mistake.
Still got it in the end.

Found while on a cache run to clear out unfound close to home hides. Took a while, waiting for muggles to move on, and eventually found myself on the right side of the fence. Surprised it has lasted so long! TFTC.

Last cache of a long weekend. There is more ways to skin a cat.

Caching in pairs does have its advantages in places like this. If you have to play fence inspector, there are lots of holes in the fence north of GZ. Big Grin

Thanks to tythataussieguy and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Something strange is happening here. This cache seems to have legs. Popped in last week on Tuesday to look for this one, but nothing to be seen. Then on Thursday @ 7:00am while looking again, I met the owner who had come down to check on it and we both couldn't find it. Now, this afternoon, I look again and find it in exactly the first place I looked last week (I know what you're thinking, but I really did look there Smile). In the meantime, it's been found 4 times by others, twice "in the open", then returned to a safe place. To quote a famous Shelbyvillean "There's a doin's a-transpiring!". Native wildlife involved perhaps?

Anyway, it was good to meet the owner and have a chat.

Thanks for the cache, Tythataussieguy

Very Happy xxx

A nice walk early this morning before the muggles were out and about.

Had me walking around for a little while thinking I was on the wrong side of the fence.

Eventually found the cache, a good hide! But then had to wait almost 5 minutes for muggler-walker and muggle-dog to move on from the area before I could rehide.

Took nothing, left swag, SL.

TFTC!

A very happy second for myself and gadanga after running into locus cache. We quickly replaced and all rushed off to the just published LPT. This will certainly be an evening to remember.

Found this morning while the kids played saw evidence of previous cachers movements so knew i was in the right spot. TFTC
 
02-Mar-12
FTF. Woohoo! Nice to see Don't Panic Arthur & Gadanga there too Smile
SL. TFTC Smile

Had written the above log in a hurry as we all 3 (Don't Panic Arthur, Gadanga and myself) decided to go and find LPT13, Barking Mad, and I wanted to get going while halfway through logging. Hence this afterthought being added now, much later.

I had been sitting at home contemplating going to Thorndon Park for the Moonlight Market when I received the notification for this cache.

Contemplation was gone and so was I! Jumped in the car and drove, sedately and carefully, to GZ. Saw a BIG fence and was suddenly thinking 'oh no, I am on the wrong side' when I saw something that had me scratching around.

I had done the locus cache and was in my car, SL, when I heard a vehicle pull up rather rapidly and doors opened and closed. As I looked to see where they went, I laughed and said hi to my fellow cachers. Gave them the option to turn their backs while I replaced the cache but they took the 'sign now' option Wink Really enjoyed the meeting Smile
