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 within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Seems a new sign has been installed and the cache went with the old one.. will replace asap.
 
28-Nov-15
Ditto previous logs. What should have been a simple magnetic is just not there.
 
19-Nov-15
Could you please update the comment regarding checking this cache. IT appears that you may have posted an owner maintenance log before actually checking?
 
28-Oct-15
No finds since November 2014. No owner comment or maintenance since NM was posted in June. Time for this one to shuffle off to the cache graveyard.
 
28-Oct-15
Will check tomorrow.. Thanks
 
27-Jun-15
Last find in November, how about a co check.

After a late night last night with a group event, todays mini mission was a little later to kick off than normal. Today specimenX and myself decided to go for a drive out to Captains Flat and make some collections.

This was cache number 2 for the day. It was a nice easy park n grab cache once all the cobwebs were removed. SpecimenX did a bit of maintenance on this one as the log was chocker block so she placed a new sheet of paper in. So this one is now good with a new log sheet for future cachers. Logging duties performed, cache returned and we were on our way again.

Thanks for the cache placement Marble Droppers Smile

Saturday had arrived! So that meant Rapidlywild and I were off on another geomission full of fun and frivolity cruising around the Captains Flat area Big Grin

2nd stop on our journey was this one-a nice easy park and grab [^] Once I'd cleared out the cobwebs I made the extraction for the log signing-well there was nowhere I could so I have replaced the log with a new one so all good now Smile

Thanks for the hide, Marble Droppers Smile

This is one of the last few geocaching trips in the current GeoMobile - a 1995 Mazda Protege, as I've just decided on a BitsMissing Outlander as my new geocaching and GeoSchnauzer transport vehicle. I'm hoping to pick it up Friday.

I've just been for a bike ride, and I'm now out at Queanbeyan picking up GeoSchnauzer food. I've got the GeoSchnauzers and the geo kit loaded, its tiime for geocaching. I think we'll take a ride around the countryside.

It's not flooded today!!! Good location, good clue. There were a surprising number of muggles today, but I got the cache found, logged and returned with not too much trouble. TFTC!!

Found on a blustery day off, 2nd look for this one. Simply clever hide. Not urgent but cache could do with some TLC .
 
30-Jul-14
We decided to head out of the local area today to collect our smiley's, so our choice was to head to Captains Flat as FFLLNo2 had not been out to this area before.

After heading in the wrong direction, we soon figured out where we should be searching, and we came up with the cache.

Out for a very enjoyable caching day with Grimraider, Kittykatch, and Mr Roo. Found quickly, thankfully. It was a cold breeze blowing this morning! TFTC
 
19-Jul-14
I headed out on a road trip with GrimRaider, Mr Roo and Captain Tomato to walk to Big Hole and Marble Arch and collect caches along the way. We pulled in off the main road and CT soon had the cache spotted and the log book signed. Such a beautiful winter day to be out exploring and caching. TFTC - lots of history here Smile

Found at last! Probably was a bit timid of the spiders before. May have signed the log using the wrong date - but was definitely this morning on way out with geohubby to bush block. SL TFTC Smile
 
29-Dec-13
Lots of spider webs and craziness. But found
 
01-Dec-13
Still didn't find so am wondering if it is still there. Won't try again until someone else has found it.
 
01-Dec-13
Not much water today! Parked by the river and walked back up.

Knew what to look for, but it was still tricky to see.

Thanks (no marbles in that one!)
 
30-Nov-13
Very sad not to find. I am sure I interpreted everything correctly, but hubby was waiting lunch for me at our bush block the other side of Captain's Flat and I was very late so after phone call decided I had better clear out. Will try again tomorrow on way back into town.
 
11-Oct-13
easy nab, tftc! not as much wildlife out here as i'd thought.
 
28-Sep-13
We found this cache easily and signed it. I didn't even consider flood waters while we were there. Hard to imagine how high they can get until you see a photo like the one of the cache page. Thanks

Came along the main road on the way to Captains Flat today. Despite a lack of signal, GZ was located without too much hassle. A keen eye was required to spot the tell tale sign. Then it was back to the car to sign, pretend the mobile phone was in use while muggle traffic zomed past and then to put it back. Thanks for the cool cache Marble Droppers. Looking forward to have a go at more of the series.
Cheers

A nice quick find on the way to Captains Flat, it is amazing how many cars travel this road. We had to dodge several to replace the cache. TFTC

A quick find on our day out caching with Clemdoog. They had already found this one but kindly stopped so I could grab this one too. I could reach this one so no entertainment was provided and no extra help required. Smile TFTC Marble Droppers!

1003. I was sitting at home, had just finished dinner, and preparing to watch some Friday night footy, when I check the status of this one. Still no logs, so it out the door and on the road. I arrived at GZ and made a quick find and discovered a blank log. Yeah a *FTF* @ 1918hrs. Nice quiet spot at this time of the evening except for all the frogs. TFTC.
