I don't live near it anymore.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect, but fitness still being promoted, jesswrigley and I decided to head to Murray Bridge Hills Trails for some mountain biking in Kinchina Conservation Park. We parked off Old Princes Highway / Tower Road, and so approached the area from the south along the Jailbreak Trail. I had never been to this area mountain biking before, and so my first impressions were it was really soft and sandy, and some areas of really rocky segments. From there, we did part of the Jailhouse Rocks Loop, crossed over Maurice Road, and rode part of the Getaway Car Loop. There were some interesting views of nearby Mobilong Prison, including sounds and announcements that could be heard from our riding around. We then rode the Rocky Gully Link, and from there, we should have started heading back south, but I pushed on to a few target cache types, like the multi-cache. There was also a nearby EarthCache, and those are generally always enjoyable completing together to enjoy the location, and discuss the questions/answers.
We rode a little longer along the Lavendar Federation Trail, before finding a tunnel to go under the railway, and we headed back, joining the Cypress Hill Trail.
The new Cypress Hill Trail (looks like it opened in October 2019) was really fun and some sections quite flowy. We rode that to its easterly end, and then came back under the railway across the stepping stones, going up rocky valley, and then tried to ride the direct route on the Jailbreak Trail back to the car.
A fun and exhausting day out, riding 16 km in total. It was a planned half-day of fitness, before the rain rolled through an hour after finishing up.

Unfortunately, like many others have noted, this cache appears to be missing due to the evidence of a fire that has come through here. This one definitely needs a CO check to confirm if this cache is still here, or otherwise have a replacement cache organised. Thanks anyway HAIR NET.

Got to get batter at reading previous logs before heading out... still no cache. I think it still needa maintenance.

Needs replacing after bushfire.

No cache due to the area having been burnt by a fire.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

This area has recently had a fire go through. There are fallen burnt trees and bushes everywhere and black dirt. Perhaps the CO could have a look.

TFTC and bringing us to this view point! Cache is in great condition, however the multiple logs make it confusing to know which one to sign.

Cooper found

We were very happy to be able to spend the Adelaide Cup holiday caching in the Monarto area. We really enjoyed walking in the Kinchina Conservation Park and picking up a few caches along the way. A quick find at GZ and the last we found in this area of the park today. TFTC

Bushwacked our way to this one and had fun doing it too
TFTC

I was feeling a little bushwacked by the time I reached the top of the hill
Warm weather this morning !!
There was a cooling breeze up here as I poked around the rocks for the cache

TFTC with a view.

Out collecting smiley's with Snap Happy.
There was blood, sweat and tears (tears of joy).

Nice easy find TFTC

Mr Tardis was on the way to the nearby CPwanderer event in the Reserve. I met up with clare007 and we grabbed a few caches before the event.

We found this one after a short search and some bushwhacking.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache HAIR NET.

Found on the way out from attending CPwanderer's event. TFTC HAIR NET!

Heading up Jailbreak track to get to CP's other place event I decided I would collect as many of the caches as I could on the way in. Walking in the breeze was nice. As soon as the breeze or I stopped mosquitoes descended and started to feast. Note to self. Renew the insect repellent! Then I could hear some familiar voices up ahead.
Oi, what you two up to then! [:o)] Seems I am not the only one with the same idea. Wow that was an easy find. Apparently you hid it in Clare007's hand. Thanks HAIR NET.. But my next was the one they just did and vice versa, so separate ways we went.

Found at 12:36
On a day out with a couple off Shonky cachers
Thanks HAIR NET

Mr Tardis Trio & I decided as this one was about 200m down the track,
that we would tackle this one next.
An interesting spot, it didn't take long to find as we spied it from the right angle.
Thanks for the cache Hair Net

Found it on our way to "Come see CP's (other) Place!" event near Murray Bridge on a nice and sunny afternoon. TFTC!

The day started with waking up to find the River Murray lapping up against the caravan. After waiting out the river level dropping, it was time to grab some caches around Murray Bridge in between the torrential rain. Managed a few walking caches. Thanks to all the cache hiders.

Walking JailbreakHill with my sister & geodog, Mandy...it was a pleasant afternoon for a stroll through the bushlands...cache all good...thanks HAIR NET

Found while out caching with Cows with guns while finishing some of the series out this way.
Thanks for the cache.

On a caching safari with Debandy today around the plains of Manarto. Many caches were found and much enjoyment was had by all.

Thanks for the cache!

Took a bit but finally found it

1st find on a walk out to get a few caches. This cache was the easiest to find because it was just off the track than it was all bush bashing. It was real fun!!
TFTC

Starting to get great views as we climbed higher. TFTC.

Done

Up visiting Mr and Mrs Froghoppin, a great chance to catch up on a few caches nearby.
Mr Frog came hopping along while Mrs Frog had a rest.
Not too bushwacked on a nice cool day !

Love the home man

We came in from Victoria to do some more of the Oz Mega caches and when we had become bored with the easy - jump out of the car, grab the container, sign the log and then jump back into the car, we decided to head into town for lunch then with full tummy's decided we would then walk our lunch off.
We headed out to the group of caches in this lovely area. Unfortunately we forgot to grab the water when we left the car and the weather turned quite warm so by the time we returned to the car we were very much in need of liquid. SL TFTC

I enjoyed spending a weekend up in Murray Bridge with my folks Sylken, and after a very fun and successful evening of night caching last night, we were up with the birds again today to grab some more caches on our way to Swan Reach to do [url=http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC48Y47_la-cueva-punyelroo]La Cueva[/url].

Having learned about the ferocious mosquitoes in the area from last weeks geocaching expedition, this week we came fully armed and prepared before we even attempted our first cache for the day. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and some really fun caches = perfect Saturday

Found in the company of geodaughter KAROPI early on a bright sunny morning. Great views to be had of the surrounding area. Many thanks for the hide HAIR NET[^]

After finding Relief from Power Trailitis Mrs y'stassies continued down hill to this cache which was quickly located. As the log was being signed a large kangaroo stopped to see what was happening. There was a great view over Murray Bridge from GZ. Cache and contents were in very good condition.
Thanks HAIR NET for an enjoyable caching experience.

A nice bush walk and I enjoyed the views from here before extracting the cache and signing the log. TFTC Hair Net.

Today is our last day after two weeks caching and sightseeing around Murray Bridge and the Adelaide Hills. This little patch of caches just spoilt an otherwise pleasent sea of smileys. We could not leave with this splot still intact. Loved the walk through the bush and the views back across the countryside.
Thanks for the cache HAIR NET.

Camped at Murray Bridge showgrounds, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
Today we did some sightseeing, and picked up a few caches on our travels.
After a nice stoll in the bush, the cache was soon located.
Many thanks for the hunt, HAIR NET.

After staying the night close by we enjoyed finding lots of varied caches

Found while attending the Oz Mega over the 2014 Easter weekend. TFTC.

Found after my attendance at my first OzMega at Murray Bridge - but still a bit of spare time to do a few more interesting caches like this. Logged from my Garmin GPS phone. SL.TNLN.TFTC.

We are leaving Murray Bridge today, our time at OZ Mega 2014 is almost up. Before what is bound to be another cracking cooked breakfast I decided to attack a few caches.

After knocking over the nearby Jail Breaks, and approaching the time to leave, this was to be my last pre-breakfast cache.

It was soon found and the log signed.

TFTC

Everybody is packing up, the Mega Event is over.
Just a couple more caches before we leave town. Great views of the area from up here worth a favourite point
Thanks for bringing us to this reserve HAIR NET

Going through the area doing all the unfound caches and we arrive here with legs still a bit sore from all the last few days caching, what's another hill to climb lol, once we reached GZ cache was soon in hand. TFTC

A quik find all by ourselves on abeautiful sunny day.

Reperio at 1645 with Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen.

I met up with FF and Big Matt at the Oz Mega event today, and after walking around the event site catching up with many geocachers early on...we headed out for a few local caches. After finding a few urban style caches...we decided it was time for a walk. This was the first heading up the hill. A nice area.

Gratias HAIR NET.

Well the big day has arrived and we can log our attendance at the Oz Mega 2014 Murray Bridge and gain the Mega souvenir on our GC souvenirs page It is also the day when we will be attempting the 8 in 1440 Challenge cache so a variety of caching styles were to be found. We had a very interesting morning caching with Team Robins and Everlasting and then after lunch, teamed up with Gunnie 69 and Kaisho 53 at the Flash Mob Event to be followed with an interesting afternoon of caching. We enjoyed meeting all the various caching teams at the Mega Event and the various associated activities. Thank you for having placed the cache Hair Net [(:)]

Found with team Lost in Cache (GrimRaider, DarzeeDi, ACTchil and Mr Roo) while attending the OzMega Murray Bridge. TFTC

This was a good spot to pause a while and enjoy the view, thanks HAIR NET

South Australian OZ Mega 2014 in Murray Bridge. A Twelve day trip to and from the mega. Plenty of caching along the way and near Murray bridge. A great time with lots of cachers all over the place to make for a very entertaining period.

I joined up with Sol de Lune for the lead up to the Mega and the mega itself. Mega Day 4, and the day to collect 10 cache types. Letterbox, traditional, multi, unknown, event, mega, CITO, Whereigo, lab and Earth cache. Although there is a webcam and virtual in Adelaide we did not take the chance to get 12 today. With a bit of spare time we went on a walk up this hill for three caches. Thanks.

Our 8287th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen and Marcus Vitruvius on our trip to the OZ Mega 2014. This was a very impromptu trip with my manager only approving my leave a week or two out. We managed to snag some cheap flights and met up with MV in SA to have a roaring 3 day tour.

This was the start of a nice little wander up the hill.

Thanks HAIR NET for the cache.

Out and about with Kaisho53 and Just-A-Trifle between events this afternoon, we had secured the two caches in the lower part of this area and were zeroing in on the third. Kaisho53 was all over this one as we arrived and pulled the container from its lair in quick time. Well, that was easy... [^]

The log was passed around and with names etched, it was replaced and we were off to the next.

Cheers HAIR NET.

SA Mega 2014 - Murray Bridge.

Staying on site with Albida and headed out everyday to make a few finds.

A great time was had by all, especially when there were more than one team at a cache.

Thanks for this one.....

Found during another visit to South Australia for the 2014 OzMega with Big Matt and Shell and Marcus Vitruvius.

A last minute decision to attend the Mega saw Big Matt and I book flights a week out from the event to arrive on Sunday. We caught up with Marcus Vitruvius at the event and decided to combine our search efforts for the trip.

Thanks HAIR NET for the cache.

Found by Mary & David, in company with FUF009, at 1630. Our final find on this hillside, after which we headed back down towards the road again. Found this one after a quick search. Our thanks to HAIR NET.

Love these trails, just perfect for a 1/2 challenging Mountain bike ride, found and signed, Thanks.

Looks like a fire went through here in the last year or two. Was this the Rockleigh fire? Oz Mega 2014

After a long drive and a good nights sleep we headed out and about the Murray Bridge region.
Today It was decided that half of TPS would ride their push bike down the shorter trails in the area, whilst the other half grabbed the straggling caches and also provided motivational speeches over the UHF! After a long day of caching and a good hardy dinner we set off and completed some of the night caches in the area! A good time was had by all on our first day of the OZ Mega!

Thanks HAIR NET for the cache!

Day 4 of our trip over from WA for the Oz Mega 2014 Event. Arrived in town early this morning after driving and caching through the night. No time for catching up on sleep though, not with all those unfound caches on the map. After re-energising ourselves and our gps batteries, we sallied forth and made a start. Enjoyed the walk up the hill and back down again, especially all the glittery rocks. Thanks HAIR NET

Found at 1:35 PM GAFF5. After a quick set up at the preliminary camping spot at the event site, we met up with a few teams that we have known for a long time and after some discussion it was decided to head out to do some caching. What else would you do at a caching event It was especially nice to go caching with Ian & Sue Team Pathfinder whom we haven't cached with for a couple of years now.
It was surprising how high we are here. Great views and great company.
Thanks HAIR NET.

Found during a wonderful afternoon of geocaching with Liz & Bruce and Pprass - great to be out geocaching with friends.

Happily we arrived at the mega event grounds early and were able to get to gether with Team Pathfinder and find this series of caches. It was a wonderful afternoon for a stroll through this beautiful countryside. Things dont get much better than this, beautiful weather, great company, fantastic bushwalking with great people and a cache or two. Nice one. Thanks to HAIR NET for placing this cache.
