Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Please could the CO check on this cache and update the coordinates so that it is possible to find it. Thank you
Back for a second go and after following information provided by those who did succeed I was still not able to find it.
Could be about time that the CO checked the coordinates and the condition of the cache.

Searched for about 20 minutes, then gave up as I was attracting attention from the neighbours.
Searched for about 30mins with 'Sat down'. We focused our search on the high side of the track, as previous finders did, but did not find it.
No luck here for us today. Spend a good 1/2 hour looking on the high side of the track ( as per Rainbow Spirits log) but that was not where the GPS wanted us to go. We looked in every conceivable place on the high side except the one it is hidden in obviously!
Went with Ridersofroryhan and Alraklooclooc last time and couldn't find anything. That was a week or so ago. Went with Mandalf today and this one still eludes me. Either a really good or really silly hide but, then again, if it's a size 3 I can't imagine it being that silly... I mean, therefore it can't be like hiding a micro in a haystack silly...
Not sure how Authentix can claim the find when the log was empty and we signed in the #1 spot. Ah well some people are odd...
From the last FTF headed to this one with Rainbow Spirit, looked above and below track we looked for a while about to give up and RS spotted it above the track. on to the next.
Thanks
Thanks
As others have noted our GPSr wanted us down the slope, when we eventually found it up the slope, 9m north of the indicated GZ.
Grabed a nearby cache and thought I would get this one at the same time. My GPSr had me climbing down from the track 2m. I don't think it was correct and after searching below for a few minutes, I looked above and found several possible spots. Still a DNF has to be shown for now.
You win. This one is challenging, and wasn't found in the usual hides. The GZ is a nice spot above the river, but in view of the houses up the hill. GPS performance is a bit hit and miss. I left as I was starting to attract attention
