Tapes are Dead (II) Unley, South Australia, Australia

As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note 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 30 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 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Not there; multiple posts to same effect

I suspect this one has been removed.

had a good look but not there

had a good look but no luck for us today

not found for a while, please verify

Owner has not logged in since January. Time to archive

Spent a few minutes looking to no avail

No joy for us either

Searched for about 10mins before giving up. Sorry but I don't think it's here.

hunted high and low, but unfortunately did not find.

We think we know exactly where this one was. Muggled? Don't think this one's there. Thanks

No luck! Go the mighty blues, thanks Thesandypants and I,ll be back.

Tried to find it at night and couldn't see it.

Passed by here recently. Seemed muggled - only some little magnets obvious. A shame if so. Was showing to a new cacher but disappointed it was missing.

Great vehicle for a cache. Easy find once we ignored the co-ords and had a look around the area!

Couple of muggles walking through the park late at night made me wonder but waited and then grabbed the cache and logged my find. Cheers Sandypants

thought i found it but could not reach it

Is the Devil Bear TB JQTAE2 still there or did someone took it and forgot to log ?
Another sad kid here that misses her tb.

Finally got back to this one, after it being awol previously.
Spent many a Sat on the oval here in years gone by.
Picked a moment between tradies this afternoon to grab it.
Needed to use the hint as the coords put me at top of the stand, and 20m away. Unfortunately dont know how to use the borrowed gpsr atm, so couldnt mark some better coords.
No sign of the tb in there, secret compartment maybe? lol

Got it on a second look. Pretty easy in retrospect. TFTC

Lovely little Valentine's Day dinner/caching date with the added bonus of a film. LOVED this cache. Great hide. TFTC.

Missed it first look. Searched elsewhere. Ended up in the last and first place I looked. Quiet at night.
Tftc

Well this one certainly is! Nice one

That was pretty cool. Thought to myself, now where is the log. Quick and return between the runners going past on the oval.... TFTC..

Easy find

Easy find came at night to avoid muggles.

Sat loc was going crazy here today 83 meters away one moment and then all of a sudden 900 meters away!! Was about to give up, but then thought 'Hey why not find the old fashioned way, seems appropriate due to the name of the Cache' ... I put my hand on it straight away [^]
Thanks for the cache TheSandypants

Our very first cache! Nice and easy to find, thank you Sandypants

Great container.

Almost missed this one thanks to a most mysterious frog. Cheers Sandypants.

1st of 1 finds between 23/01/2013 and 26/01/2013 on a trip to Adelaide to see family and some of the 2013 Santos Tour Down Under.

I found this cache at 9:11 on a TDU-watching free day on which I explored Adelaide's beaches. I started with Henley Beach, I then went to Glenelg before finishing the day with a visit to West Beach.

This was the first cache of the day, on the way to pick up the lamb for the Australia Day weekend BBQ, at a nearby butcher. I thought this was a fantastic geocache, so well made and in a well hidden place. It did not take me long to find. I had a squiz at the grandstands as it was all quite impressive for a local? team.

With this cache I marked 25/1 off the calendar.

TFTC

Greetings from Brisbane, QLD

THE BEST drive up cache I've ever done. Literally left the motor running & found it straight away. Was doing the cache with the sole purpose of dropping of a TB we picked up in Vegas & brought back from Hawaii. This guy is from the Netherlands & wants to get home. Look after him! TFTC

The party was at the Lawn Bowls club tonight looked like fun but we had a cache to find Thanks The Sandypants

We walked around this great place before finding out where we needed to be.. grabbed the cache and found a little frog I once had before... I have left him for someone else

Thanks for the cache TheSandyPants...

With cricket on, we thought this would be a no-go, but had a look anyway and found the particular spot deserted [^]!
Had to remember how to 'unjam' the container lid - it's been awhile .
TNLNSL.
Thanks to TheSandypants.

Nice one! Saw another cache container above it but didn't have time to investigate.

TFTC

I thought it would be this! How clever am I?

Nice one Sandypants

TFTC

Out on an all mightier with whites on Windsor, sparkey25 and JEFFEDDY . Great cache. TFTC

Loved the container!

Currently out on a dusk to dawn caching expedition through the more muggle central areas, with jeffeddy, team pedal pushers and whites on Windsor. Thanks for your cache

Another nite time cache with teams sparky 25 jeffeddy and pedal pushers tftc

Nice container. Left a leapfrog alongside it to watch a video.

Found it quickly after I realized there was no time to be grandstanding. Brought me back to the home of the mighty double blues. Tftc.

Oh no!! BETA [:o]

I'm glad I read the cache notes before I ran off getting too much exercise in the nearby structure

TFTC.

LOVE the cache. One of the best I have seen.

FANTASTIC CACHE.
The best one I have seen so far.
TFTC

Great re-cycling. TRTC

Found after dining at Cafe Mondiali! Geowife found the cache while I was still searching. Great themed cache! TFTC

looked in the wrong area for a while. finally found it. but had to be careful of muggles. goeson got it and teamgunna found it with pinkeala. i have a box of these at home. tftc

Caught up with TeamGunna after work and went for a walk and went in search for a cache what fun it was finding it.

Up in the area having our car service so off on foot to find a few caches. This one was a fairly quick grab once you surveyed the area around GZ. SL TFTC

A quick and easy find. TFTC

Found at 11:30pm with Alex-thesquirrel. We did use the hint after seeing comments in previous logs about the accuracy. Nice container and loved the fact that a cache that big has a log that small. Tftc

TFTC. Cool hide.

TFTC Sandypants!

Found in the second place I looked (after reading the hint!). The first place looked so good, as the ventilation cover was already hanging partly off the wall - oh well [:o]

Lovely sunny morning and stopped by on my way to work. Very quiet at the time. Wow, such a tiny log for a decent sized container. Cheers.

Finally got the place to myself... Found it easily...

Thanks TheSandypants for the cache.

Found the hiding spot a few months ago when the cache was gone, Came back today without GPS and found it instantly. Amazingly a huge container, with the tiniest of logbooks. Great container, I love it! TFTC

Tftc

Found by Mr M-SEZ & geo-girl. Finally managed to cross this one off the list! There were a few muggles around, but we managed to do it without being seen.

Mr M-SEZ is easily old enough to know what these things are, but was surprised that 6 year-old geo-girl even knew! TFTC

Found at 13:00
I walked here after buying some lunch at the Unley shopping centre, then missed the cache on my first pass, so went and sat in the sun to eat my lunch, and check recent logs for DNF. Unfortunately, the site was down. It didn't matter much, as I spotted the cache straight away after my lunch.
I sat back down at the convenient table to log it, enjoying a few more minutes of sunshine, then walked back to work.
All-in-all, a good excuse to get out and enjoy the day.

First cache in the dark. GPS makes it easy.

We were hungry for this cache after the first Kanga match for term 4. Gran supported the find TFTC

well done the way you hid your cache, I really enjoyed it.
TFTC
geohelmut

Fun

Found I three seconds good clue

Good

Once we were conditioned to what we were looking for it was an easy find.

Finally.

Everytime I come here there are people around, but tonight it was wet and windy and there wasn't many people around.

TFTC

Last time it was a DNF. No problem today other than dodging Muggles. All good.

TFTC TheSandypants.

Stopped by on the way home - all eyes were on the oval watching the footy training so a quick find. Well done on the camo. TFTC.

GPS was going everywhere, so had to use the hint. Found it when the GPS was saying 39m.. damn those grandstands interfering with things. Nice container, TFTC

This one has been on my to do list for quite a while... went after it some time ago only to find the logs indicating a muggling ! So after a pleasant dinner with friends around the corner, an impromptu late night mini run ensued! TFTC Sandypants!

Found last September with vj187 but I had missed recording it TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. A very good use for a cassette tape. TFTC

A quick and easy - perhaps it's just those of us who once thought VCR tapes were an amazing leap in technology who are able to figure this cache out! Owl would add this to the Freddo Nano rant as a disguised nano if she hadn't already employed the technique on a cache of her own.

Our first ever cache

easy find with extended family. lots of muggles TFTC

Dodged the muggles on training night. Had to be quick, but retreived and returned surruptitiously. Thanks for the cache Sandypants!

Live close by so have been checking this regularly. Glad to know I wasn't going blind and had worked out the hint correctly.
Thanks Mr Sandypants.

This is all very strange, just checked on the cache and its still there, perhaps it is this large full moon playing tricks but I can't wait for someone to find this one. PS. If you have ever had your tape chewed by a machine, you know how to open this cache

Is it there or not.
My gps had me 7m into the grandstand, no matter which side of it I was on!

Muggle central today [8)]. Maybe another time.

I arraived at GZ and looked and looked.
Read the hint and looked and looked again.
Not sure if this has actually been replaced yet, despite the log saying it would be back on the 21st, or if I just could not find it
I did find a red hook hanging inside the cover but no cache

New cache being competed, just had to make some mods. Will place in location tomorrow (Tuesday the 21st) by 9pm... Then happy hunting!

Attention Players: All my inner metro caches with be down for the next 48 hours for maintainence and should be back up again on Sunday. Thankyou for your understanding.

7/8/12 no luck finding it with three of us looking

Nope

Will check on her this weekend :O

Had a really good hunt, however, could not find it ! It may be in the Sturt changerooms ?!?

Got there nice and early this morning. No joy. I looked in and around the likley spot.

Thanks for the hunt.

Looked in mostly spot, using hint....

I gave a pretty good in the likely place, but couldn't find it. Called a previous finder who confirmed where I looked was correct, so I'm not sure that the container is still there. I will check quickly again soon, but I think it may have wandered off after a footy match...

Found It!
Nice easy find and yes I do remember those pesky things - you always had to rewind them...
TFTC

I never owned a video tape machine either VHS or Beta. Probably since I never owned a TV. I did have a tape of myself on Channel 7 news. The tape must be in excellent condition as it has never been paid. At least I haven't taped over anybodys wedding video with a Sturt football match or porn. Both equally tasteless IMHO.

Too many Muggles. Ill try on a non training day.

Next time.

Go the Mighty Blues !! Easy find with clue. TFTC. About time some popped up around this area.

Tapes are Dead (III) will be up shortly, have to go get coordinates again

Mr Tardis made a short detour on the way to work to pick this one up. The name of the cache made sense once I found it.

A great place for a cache, hopefully it lasts a while. I had to wait for a few early morning dog-walking muggles to pass before I was able to replace this one.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache TheSandypants.
