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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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.

This one has been offline for 9 months, maybe it's time to go

Went to check cache today and seems to have gone missing. Will replace with new one soon

Nice find did have to expand our search area a little. tftc

We found this in the very weak sunshine and just a muggle girl more interested in her phone than us. GPS jumping around so search area had to be expanded and no help from the electronics TFTC

Thankfully the Muggles that were at the GZ were more interested in their activities than us. Coordiantes are a little off but we soon had the cache in our paws TFTC

Found this one a couple of weeks ago but kept forgetting to log it. (now I can't remember the date of when I found it! ) It looked a little empty so I chucked in a few little trinkets to fill it up! TFTC!

My umptieth visit. This time no muggles around. Expanded the search after reading the previous logs. Thanks thommo77.

Looked for quite a while before getting this one, thanks!

Easy find tftc

Veni, Vidi, Vici, Scripsi. Needed a quick find on the way home to keep the caching calender complete so a slight detour on the way home to claim this one. Only a short search to reveal the cache, sign log and replace. Had to wait for some muggle schoolboys to depart the area before going on for the grab. Gratias pro cache.

Found by cachecat7600 20/7/15. Would have been extremely hard to find but luckily we read through the activities.

Replaced cache!! Eclipse tin. Under leaves in corner. Hope it lasts this time. With SA SewerRats

Signed new log

Out and about on a sunny day caching with a pair of snakes.
WE replaced the cache and signed new log. TFTC

I think someone might have stole it if it hasn't been found since last year

Searched for ages!!

First DNF for us today. Muggles didn't help.

We searched and searched no luck.

No luck for us even with previous hints. No muggle kids around so spent quite some time searching

Awesome I am hooked, my first find and so close to home

Found easy

Baseball with the Hawks. TFTC

Good job for hiding!

But I didn't have a pencil handy... Comeback later!

It took a while, but a previous log finally gave Owl the idea of where to look. For those who are sick of having to dodge mini-muggles to look for a cache with dodgy coordinates, try S34 48.028 E138 42.628. At least I now don't have a green box in a sea of smiley faces!

Can't recall how many times we have attempted this one since it has been published, but we are certainly happy we can finally cross it off our list Thanks must go to a previous logger who pointed us in the right direction. TNLNSL TFTC

Two head wounds but no find. It was getting a bit dark

Checked and its all good

Found it! Clues helped! Thanks. Didn't have a pen, but we are local!

Walked straight up to this one - in the dark, no torch, I just had a hunch
Found quickly with JamboChicken
TFTC

Found with Bek-TheRaccoon. The last of 9 straight finds for the night. TFTC

When we saw all the comments it was easy. Happy hunting

Look in the wood of the play ground if you want to find it

Sneaky sneaky ! Happy hunting

Ground level

Too easy... Never miss a corner

I had the playground to myself so I could search uninhibited. Very difficult find - didn't help by the leaf litter around. Thanks for the cache.

#942

No luck today

Very tricky one!

Luckily had the playground to myself, but after poking around for 20 mins, thought I had better leave. Unfortunately empty handed. Will try again another time.

Quick look vut didnt find

Good hide. Took us a while, GPS going nuts.

DNF this one, our gps was going crazy and sending us in circles!

Brought the Red Cross traveller along with us

Nice easy find.

GPS seemed to be hovering around the swingset, maybe another day!

This was my closest to home unfound cache so attracted special attention! Once the dog walking muggles had all disappeared it was a straightforward find. TNLNSL Thanks thommo77

A night time caching adventure with the coolest geocachers ever, Young Einstein's and my wonderful wife, we tackled some of more of the caches around the Golden Grove area and managed to find some spiders, lizards and one of us was also gravely wounded on the leg but she soldiered on refusing to sit in the car.

Not a great fan of of this cache, luckily we were caching at night so no children on the playground. Not sure if the hide meets the current guidelines either.

Thank you for the cache thommo77, this was number 4 for the day.

Theshattells 727

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Oh! There it is. I was so close last time. haha

After failing to find this at night we decided to return during the day to give it another go. Cache ISM had cache in hand very quickly. A lot easier during the day. TFTC

With less than 30 minutes to go i needed my daily cache, lucky for me the playground was empty and all the muggles were in bed, after searching a while i checked previous logs, they were a bit helpfull and i changed the search location hmmmmm still no cache and i don't want my streak to come to a end, panic starts to set in and start searching everywhere for it, nope looks like i am going to have to call it, i look out the corner of my eye and think, if i was going to hide a cache here where would it be.....THERE, i proceed to said spot and my daily streak is safe : ) TFTC

TFTC - Found after a couple of trips and then phoning a friend.

No muggles around in the playground this morning, but plenty playing baseball on the lower level field.

As Bob said, it is there, but way off listed gz.
Have posted better co-ords to save cachers from hanging around too long on the edge of a playground.
We found it in the most obvious spot, oblivious of previous finders comments.

Not a fan of hides near playgrounds SL Thanks from postiegirl

Find 1942
Found on my way elsewhere I had another look it is there.
Thanks to thommo77 for the cache.

DNF Reel BFE Style with the GPS.
Consulted a previous finder and was shown where he found it.
It has gone walkabout.
Fine Elsewhere

Gone

As on the previous occasion, after a short time looking, the muggles arrived. From the previous logs it seems the co-ords are a bit out which makes it difficult for a "sensitive" area like this. Thanks thommo77.

Found this one with Mohuja but forgot to log it - oops!

Finally found this one. GPS had me in the wrong spot. Very frustrating. Thanks to the Kettles for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

Staying with my son and family just down the road a little and came over to find this one. I must admit on my last visit I had searched pretty well everywhere with no joy. This time I was able to locate it quite well although it was not what I was expecting.
TFTC thommo77

Not the type of hide I particularly enjoy.
Fortunately I was here late at night when nobody else was about.

Found reasonably quickly as co-ords were spot on.

Thanks Thommo

What an incredibly frustrating search. We are at a complete loss with where this cache is. GZ seemed to have us at the same place as everyone else. We increased our circles to 10-14m out and even further. We searched all places that we could see and searched every green box we could find, but we just couldn't come up with the cache. We are stumped and frustrated for a cache we think we probably should have been able to find. But we'll add it to our watch list and try again later! Thanks thommo.

Avery good hide TFTC thommo77

A great little hide and was retrieved without notice.
Thanks thommo77

We finally found it ! This one had us stumped for quite awhile, perhaps because we were looking in all the wrong spots.
A little help from Bacon 8100 and we were on the right track, thanks Bacon !!
SL and replaced in its very sneaky spot TFTC

Found this with Bacon, finally!

Finally got it. Thanks to Freddo for his assistance. Was almost about to give up but peered a little further and found the log.

Is the cache there? Or are we searching for another Yeti? Lol

A string of DNFs is a pretty good indicator the cache isn't there anymore. Please check and replace.

Looked around for a good 30 minutes with Bacon8100 and couldn't find it anywhere. Co-ords were just near the swings. Spread the search out 9-13m as other people mentioned but no luck.

Baby smirch and I couldn't locate it, maybe we needed the keen eyes of the mumma smirch? Coordinates had us at the big gum, searched as best we could without drawing too much attention no luck!

Just no luck

Looked around here for a long while ... looked up the tree ... under this .... tried to remove that ... climbed up and looked on top of the other ... but no find for me here today.
Pity as it was muggle free today.

There was a baseball game on the playing field below us, but those games require concentration, so we were able to look around this abandoned area with no problem [8)].
Looked in lots of places and were walking in ever widening circles when we finally came across it , about 14m out with our GPS on a cool, cloudy day .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Thommo77.

Visited while out walking the dog. Coordinates were spot on. TFTC!

Thanks Freddo

Replaced cache from the resources of the Pajero. You can enable the cache now.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

After consultation with the Frog, this one lives to play another day.

........PLAY BALL............

Promise I did not leave a plastic dinosaur! Thanks to thommo77 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Sorry it is taking me so long to put another one in this spot but have had knee surgery. I will replace it within the next 2 weeks

Time to go. Or time to replace.

Arrived at GZ looking for a cache found nothing. Then read the notes and realised there was nothing to find.

We are sure we "found" it -or at least where the log would have been - but it looks like it has been muggled.

Well found the vessel but the cover and I presume the log book is gone? Was looking in the playground until I read the logs and widened my search shame really because the muggle will be looking out for this type of hide here now tftc

After reading the last 2 logs thought I better go and have a look. The hide was there but lid missing and everything inside so will try and replace as soon as i can.

Mr & Mrs M-SEZ had some time for a few caches today while the kids were in school. Luckily I've seen this trick before, so it was spotted as we approached GZ. Got to admire the work that was put into it though. A definite favourite point earned. TFTC

GPS had us about 9 mtrs away in playground.
a quick find this morning.
Met Fellow cachers whilst there,CPwanderer and aussie M&M.
Great to catch up and have a chat.
Caching with sister a member of The X-trailers.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

A quick find with earthlight.
Met Aussie M&M and CPWanderer .
Great to have a chat.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

Like the previous finders we were 9-10 metres away from GZ with this one. Great to run into earthlight and the X trailers while forraging for this one!!!! Thanks thommo77 for the hide!

We too were about 10 metres off and luckily earthlight and twin arrived to show us the error of our ways. An obvious cache when looking at the right spot. Enjoyed the chat with fellow cachers and then we were off to another hide.

A quick find of a hide I have seen before. The GPSr had me 10m away but could have been the cloud cover.

TFTC thommo77

Awesome hide Thommo! Found with Chad and the boys. TFTC

A not so quick find, iPhone jumped everywhere until geodad pointed out a spot!!! Tftc!

Doh...... Dennisc52 just beat us to a Bronze...

Oh well no matter what place you get we have all achieved the same :p

Thought I better go out and do a cache on international caching day

Thanks for the cache Thommo77

Wheedled the et al in coming out late today to find this cache. While the co ords had us by the gum tree we quickly located. Took longer to get the pen working though. Tftc

After being a taxi service for two sons and one girlfriend i stopped of in the dark and made the find. I too was involved here with tball and baseball years ago but as a coach when our three sons were at school. The kids even had a nickname for me as Mr T. Thanks for the fun.

We went out for a quick cache hunt this morning for international caching day Thanks thommo77 great hide
