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.

Sad to say my cache has gone AWOL, i'll see if I can find it or maybe replace it.
 
28-Dec-15
Found it. Yeah this is a very interesting wall and well made. This took me a while, I really wanted to get behind that prickle bush but I thought, no. I stood back and looked at the wider picture, I was thinking out side the box when I thought, why is that there? Then I realised, that was where my smiley is. TFTC
 
10-Dec-15
Started looking for this one but was literally cut short by a big thorn, after patching the hole in my finger I decided to move on, will try another day
 
22-Nov-15
headed out with the geohubby early this morning to grab some caches. We left at 5AM and headed out to York, Northam and Wundowie and picking up some other caches along the way. Didnt realize it was going to be so hot today so a few got taken off the list that involved walking but we still managed 32 finds and no DNFS so not a bad days effort. Most caches were found quite quickly with a few tricky ones that took a bit of searching. TFTC clever camo job
 
18-Nov-15
No luck this time.
Will try again another time.
 
08-Nov-15
Sneaky! Excellent clue! Tftf
 
Finally found it after almost giving up. I don't get the clue though lol!
 
20-Oct-15
A nice quick find TFTC

A day trip to York to find most of the hides in the area.
Last cache for today, we checked out the hint before approaching the hide, so it was an easy find. a really good hide, fave point from us. TFTH
 
26-Sep-15
Found it...with the help of the clue (and remembering that GPS is never completely accurate)

Headed out for a day of exploring York & it's surrounds we stopped to find this cache along the way... We searched around in all the wrong places before deciphering the clue & ignoring the GPSr Surprised

TFTC Creighton Crew Big Grin We enjoyed this creative hide!

TFTC. Would not have found without clue as GPS was a bit out.
 
17-Jul-15
Awesome! Found yesterday!
 
10-Jul-15
Taking my mini cachers for a weekend stay with the grandparents in the country. Decided to stop along the way and find some caches. This one had us stumped, but we were not giving up. It was still raining as we were looking round. Then it hit me where it was, something just a bit out of place. Love this one. It was even better for the mini cachers as they got to watch a train go by, Mr 2yr old is train mad. TFTC
 
08-Jul-15
We spent today doing the “Animals” leg of the Wandoo series, plus few others. We then went into York for a couple of hours. It was a brisk but beautifully fine winter’s day. Most caches were in great condition, and all were easy, but fun finds.

We managed 50 finds (which is now our best of 1 day) and 1 DNF.

Love the camo!!

Great Camo, good clue. Laughed about TISM. TFTC
 
14-Jun-15
Still slowly making our way north to Toodyay. Having a great time caching along the way and seeing out of the way places that wouldn't visit otherwise Big Grin

Another York cache on the list for Tuesday but did it today instead as I knew it would be another quick park and grab which it was as I had worked out what the hint meant last night at home Big Grin

27-Apr-15
This is our third time trying to find this one but this time we came armed with the knowledge provided by the hint, after a quick google search. Found it quickly. Great camo. Another fav. from us. TFCT!
 
15-Apr-15
Wouldn't have found it without googling the lyrics!
 
08-Mar-15
This is a great little hide well done. Thanks google for the hint. We will be back soon to do more.
 
01-Mar-15
I wonder how many people read the cache notes clearly enough? The hint was essential, good thing I decoded it with Google before I set out. TNLNSL TFTC

[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.

Clever

Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. We're spending a couple of days heading out to Hyden and came across your cache along the way.

A lovely town and a clever hide.

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

After getting stabbed by a thorn from the rosebush (that'll teach me to be so gung ho), the clever hide was discovered. Thanks for the cache CreightonCrew.
 
12-Oct-14
Stayed in York for the night. I love this town. Tagged along while .K.B. hunted a heap of caches, including this one. Highlight was definitely a trip to the Pennyfarthing Lolly Shop. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find, clever hide. Tftc

We are spending the weekend in York and I set out for my usually early morning run to grab a couple of caches. Quite a few have sprung up since my last visiti here. This one was the first one for the morning. I started checking the usual places then resorted to the clue. Mmmm I remeber looking this up a couple of weeks ago but I didn't write down the solution. Then it came to me.
A very clever hide worthy of a favourite.

20-Aug-14
Sneaky hide!! This should be muggle safe!! TFTH
 
17-Aug-14

Great little host hole. Tfth.

TFTC! On a geotrip with JacobsCrew and Numbers Man. Thanks
 
05-Jul-14
Found it ... Thanks to the our fellow geo guys that just passed us and gave a clue ... Love this ....
 
05-Jul-14
A day out caching with Branzy12 and Numbers Man, We were walking around wondering about the location, we had to refer back to the clue and bingo, it made sense for a good find... .TFTC
 
12-Jun-14
Okay. So yesterday we set out to find this cache. After almost half an hour of loitering, and trying to look very casual about the kids climbing all over the rock wall, we put this one on our 'We'll be Back' list. Went home, and something about the clue just stuck in my head. A bit of searching, I finally figured it out. Woo hoo! This afternoon it took about 30 seconds of waiting for traffic, and we had it in hand. After a quick message, we were just climbing back into the car when the local police drove past slowly. Gave them a wave, and got out of there quickly!
 
28-May-14
Couldn't work this one out last time, even with the musical hint. I don't think we'd have found it at all if not for reecemills22's photo posted on 22 April. So if you are avoiding spoilers don't look at that photo!

Very clever and sneaky cache, thanks!
 
18-May-14
Great hide. .. Great effort. . Great sign. ... The entrance statement to York does look great. ..2nd attempt. .. Now understand the clue. .. Yeah
 
23-Apr-14
Very difficult and sneaky

We found it strait away

28-Aug-13
went and had a good look around. Didn't get the clue at first but sitting here at home I think I've worked it out...So next time I got you Smile
 
18-Aug-13
Today I came out with a mission to find as much of the Wandoo Series as I could. I didn't get through the whole series, and did get distracted by a few additional caches along the way, which took up more time. I found the first cache around 7:40am, and the last at 4:40pm, and all up found 106 caches, and had 6 DNFs. This was my biggest ever caching day, and my first over 100 caches!

This was DNF number 5, and the third non-find in York. Time to get out and hit the open roads again!!

After looking around for a while at the signage and the wall I googled the hint, and went to the indicated spot. There was only 1 interesting item at the location, and I couldn't pick it up...
 
09-Aug-13
Took a while, hardest part was replacing cache, muggles kept driving past.
TFTH
 
06-Aug-13
We will be back. ...
 
09-Jun-13
[:(!] After Church went to Northam to drop off our geogranddaughter and pick up geograndson to bring back to Perth, so we went via York to pick up some caches along the way and this was one of them, we parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, this was our second visit which was many, many months ago, on arrival at GZ were were seaching the wrong structure when a voice yelled out "I have found it!" it was geogranddaughter, finally the cache was in hand in a matter after several frustrating minutes of searching, I think the coordinates might be out by several meters.

SL TFTC/TFTH CreightonCrew.
 
07-Jun-13
had to have a crack after reading the tism reference!! quick find for me, funnily enough the song came on in the car about 15 mins before my attempt

03-Jun-13
Love this clever cache Smile thanks for the hide!
 
01-Jun-13
I searched for this cache previously with a non-persevering friend who insisted we give up... :/ After my friend left, I googled the clue at home and was delighted by the obviousness of it Very Happy However, it still took me 2 weeks, a few pints at the pub and a braving of the glacial night air but finally found it (quickly, thank gosh). Definitely worthy of a favourite Very Happy TFTC!

Found with AJandHol and wellsy21 on weekend away in Yor

Tricky little hide
 
01-Jun-13
Omg love this one
 
01-Jun-13
The joys of smart phones and google. Makes hints much easier to work out. Jezzas find
 
29-Apr-13
What a ripper, we looked in all the obvious spots - then checked them again. OK that means they were too obvious ?? So then we looked for a place that a devious, cunning, coniving CO would go, and Geo-missus said "I wonder if ........" And she wondered right !

Thanks - excellent hide

If I can figure out how to give it a favourite I'll do so.

Carry on everybody, you've all done very well !

This gave me a bit of the Rocky Rocky Horror show. Rocky it was! When we arrived there was already a couple young ladies (Cache Elusive) looking for the cache and they had no luck so far. We joined them in the search and they left for lunch after a while. We got hungry as well and during our lunch in the motorhome, parked right opposite GZ we saw something suspicious. Maybe being a bit higher and from a distance gived you a different perspective? Well anyway we found it, and are probably the FTF for the modified cache. after an extensive search but we think it is worth a favorite. TFTC CreightonCrew.

It's good to have this cache back on line, I have spent many hours pondering it's future. I hope you enjoy the hunt. Wink
 
07-Apr-13
Modified the cache today and I'm quite happy with it. I will get it back in place soon.Smile
 
08-Mar-13
Sorry to have the cache off line for so long, I think I have come up with a way to make it old lady proof and I will start working on it soon.
 
28-Oct-12
I see the fantastic group of volunteers who clean up this area have muggled my cache again. They seem to be able to spot it a mile away, no matter where I hide it. I'll disable this cache while I think of what to do.

Nice hide! Only found because of the hint.
TFTC.
 
06-Oct-12
We searched the obvious and because we didn't understand the hint, started extending the search.
Geo-hubby came up with the goods again.
 
06-Oct-12
Our GPS was pointing us to a spot a few mtrs away from where we found the cache after a bit of a search. Thanx CreightonCrew.
 
22-Sep-12
This was one from a row of caches during our (geocaching-) holiday trip through WA. Becaus we didn't have the new coordinates it was a long search. At the end my geowife found it with the help of the strange hint. TFTC and Greetings from Germany to all Aussie-Geocachers

Went for a drive in the country with Allied OZ and Rokadz to knock off some of the wandoo series. Was a great day a good way to head out for a meal at the York Pub. TFTH
(Logged retrospectively...10 months after finding!)
 
09-Sep-12
Doing some GPS house cleaning as I have been very slack! please excuse the late logging.

Out on a all day caching run with rokadz and The Fitzys, we started early and cached to lunch, meeting our better halves in York for lunch, we then continued on for a full but exhausting day of Tupperware and small plastic animal hunting..

The GZ had us in an area that we could not see how a cache was going to be hidden there,after some searching and as we are leaving something catches my eye and because of pure dumb luck I got to cry "Found it"
talk about jammy! Nice workshop skills Wink

Came here yesterday, to many Muggles working close by so left it. Came back today for round two, more success. Thought we had been muggled while there only to find Team M-B were driving past and stopped for a chat.

Pleasure meeting you today Team M-B
 
21-Aug-12
Without the hint it would have never been found, even then it was a close call

Thanks for the cache
 
21-Aug-12
Along for the ride with Gwiber and letting her do all the work.

Thanks for the cache.
 
18-Aug-12
Have been saving this one until today, well done to my Squirrel Conglomerate buddies from CreightonCrew.
 
15-Aug-12
A tough one...we guessed the clue and we were right. A nice song to think about and suitable for the cache clue. A few options though at GZ and our GPS had us 3m away. We looked and eventually after almost deciding we had guess wrong we found the cache.
Sometimes you have to persist.
Tip...dont pull the wall apart (it looks like a few small chips have been dislodged)...it may be that they were not cleaned up when building it but it could be Geocachers too...
 
15-Aug-12
Checked it today and she is safe and sound. Thanks Parky Peepers for the heads up. Cache on people.
