4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache
The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.
If a geocache 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.

No response to Needs Maintenance request.
More DNFs
CO hasn’t been online since December 2016.
This one appears to have been abandoned and should therefore be archived.
 
07-Apr-18
Had one look at this and left. Caches shouldn't be buried in pinebark and I didn't feel like digging around. Logs suggest this cache needs maintenance and I agree.
 
22-Mar-18
Came and looked and dug and looked more. No cache to be seen. Had two previous finders with me who co firmed what I was looking for and where it should have been. And they confirmed that it was missing.
 
22-Mar-18
As per my DNF log, came with previous finders who co firmed this one was missing. Can the CO please replace?
 
14-Mar-18
Big tree has been removed, couldn’t find
 
03-Mar-18
Couldn't find, spent 20 minutes looking and still didn't find it, someone must have taken it because we had 5 people looking
 
01-Mar-18
Utterly putrid here spent 1 minute looking and was then accosted by a homeless person that wanted to know what I was looking for. Decided best course of action was to move on way too much revolting garbage here. Would suggest an owner check is in order.
 
10-Dec-17
Out & about with hevwalker caching the area before heading to the event at Croydon.
The nearby shop was closed, there was still a trickle of muggles walking to & fro from nearby cars.
It would be a great place to do a CITO so much rubbish plus what the public dumps here.
It took some time to find & we were glad to move on from this grubby area.
Thanks for the hide kymandmarie

found after work and before the Halloween 2017 event. Looks like some one else has found the cache since all the swag was spread out in from of it and log book missing. replaced log book. recovered cache. found using the hint.
 
27-Oct-17
I had just finished at the chiropractor so thought I would continue on and grab some caches before heading home. [^]
I was glad the shop was closed so I could search without looking suspicious. Surprised
Not a very nice place to be looking for a cache as there is so much rubbish around. Sad
Thankfully I found the cache quickly, signed the log, replaced and was out of there. Surprised
Thanks for the cache kymandmarie. Smile

Rummaging around here made me feel awkward and nervous [:o]... i was really hoping no-one was watching. Thankfully the find was quick and the cache was in hand. Back to the Geo-Mobile to SL at 09:12 early on Sunday morning of 9 April, 2017. Just as I was finishing SL there was a man turn up at the St. Vinnies car park [:o]. "How am I gonna re-hide it now?", I thought. I used a Muggle Deception Technique and went over to ask him what time do they open and he said, "We are closed on Sundays. My wife is inside checking something". It was then he spotted the cache in my hand and said: "Oh, I can see you found the Geocache"... I felt so relieved, (Phew), knowing I could re-hide it with not a worry in the world [^] and by the way all within the cache is good and dry Smile I'm a Happy Camper this morning [^]Wink TFTC kymandmarie Smile

Had a very quick look, but could not find I felt uncomfortable at this location.
 
21-Dec-16
Was over this way for the Chatter of Budgerigars event and managed to find a few first and this was one of them.
Hadn't read the latest log so was looking for Squizzie's replacement. After a bit of gardening work was pleased to find what was obviously the original.
Thanks for the cache kymandmarie

TFTC. Over in Adelaide for the Dragon Boat Down Under competition. What better a way to spend a rest day than a little caching. Perfectly quiet as it's still the long weekend so dropped by for this one and soon had muggle neighbors yelling at us accusing us of stealing, breaking into the shop and calling the police. Not too phased about their charitable abuse, found the cache quickly, signed the log and moved on.
The Cache is in good condition.

Hey,

This hiding tree was unfortunately filthy with other rubbish and not really safe to be rummaging through. Maybe the Cacher could move it elsewhere?

Sorry, thanks anyway.

The shop in question was closed today which helped with my cache search Smile
I had to time my looks between the passing muggles wandering past headed to and from the supermercado though [:o]

The cache had been well covered by dirt and rubbish, but I found it on me second look.
Inside, the container and contents were nice and dry Smile

My last day in Adelaide saw me find the need to do a little bit of caching, so today's jaunt was up around the Westlakes/Woodville/Flinders Park area.

Finding the cache was pretty easy, although there was a muggle directly in front of the cache sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Chatted on my phone while I was near GZ and the passenger muggle didn't take much notice. The driver came out of Vinnie's and as she was driving off, she gave me a smile and pointed to where the cache was.

And here was I thinking I was so careful lol

Guess I'd consider that being sprung Wink

Mr Tardis was in the western suburbs after getting his car serviced. So I stopped here on the drive home to grab this one. A few muggles about but I just waited until the coast was clear and found it no problems.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache kymandmarie.

It's strange the way you interpret things based on paradigms! I've never really had a serious look at this cache but knew that it had the initials C and S. (My eyes are getting weaker and I have trouble reading the detail on the GPSr.) I read these to be Charles Sturt!! And I couldn't work out what this location had to do with Charles Sturt.

Anyway, I made a find in the first and last place I looked, but I looked in a few other places between!

Thanks for the cache kymandmarie.

Found with 2011*turtle. Shopped at the nearby establishment while waiting for muggles to leave and then looked. Be careful of the prickly bush. TFTC
 
14-Oct-13
With a spare 24 hours in Adelaide I grabbed a hire car and went caching. What else was I to do!

A lot of muggles, but I got there.

Cheers
