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 had been disabled since 8/6/15 after being muggled. If it's not going to be replaced then maybe it's time to archive it and open the area up for someone else.

Found ages ago and forgot to log. Gracias

Mugggled again....boooo! Disabled while I decide if it is worth trying again.

This was a nice quick and creepy find in the dark for me tonight...

I was in the area around 1900 and thought that I would quickly grab this cache. It has been sitting on my map for a while now and it not being a smiley, it was starting to annoy me!

I did the short walk from the main road and soon quickly found the location. I started looking around and could not find anything Geocachey. After turning up the brightness of the LED I spotted something on the ground. It was the log, just sitting on the ground. After looking where I thought the cache to be, it had rubbish in it. Being to dark to stick my hand in there, I did not investigate more. I think that the local Muggles might also enjoy hiding out in this area.

Just as I was signing my name in the log and putting back in its raincoat, I heard a scream!!!! I quickly put the log back where I think it should have been and did not stick around. I ran away like a little girl... And, yes, I may have peed my pants just a little!

Thanks for the cache awesome4. I think you have a Muggling on your hands and am going to have to suggest maintenance as I don't think the log is going to last very long without a container or to be honest, in its current hidey-hole.
 
24-May-15
Found the bag & log on the ground next to this cache. Guess it had been muggled? Couldn't open the container to replace the log.
Suggest maintenance.
 
19-Apr-15
Back up and running.... with a traveller on board.
 
12-Dec-14
As with others, couldn't access the cache, even with the taped up knife. But we found it
 
12-Dec-14
Shall check this one out over the weekend....and get it up and running again.
 
09-Dec-14
As with the previous cacher, i found the cache. However after a 10min battle I was unable to free it from its hide. For some reason located above the cache was a taped up knife. So using this "tool" i tried to pry the cache from the hole. My next thought was that the CO had planned it so that this was some kind of cunningly thought out red herring. So i began a search of all of the nearby crevices and hidey holes.(Maybe I'm watching to many geocaching videos on Youtube??) However I soon realised that i may have been over thinking this caches placement and so i returned to trying to pry the container from its hole. With no luck in moving it at all, I left defeated.

TFTC. Never knew this pathway system was here, will definitely return with the bike!!
 
06-Dec-14
Who would have thought that it would fit so nicely into that hole?
 
06-Dec-14
Well, I kind of found it but couldn't access it. It is in a place where it is impossible to retrieve without doing some damage to it so I decided to leave it up to the CO to fix it up.
 
10-Nov-14
Found 5.54pm

Nice quick find with Privatears and co... Great spot.. The geo-kids loved the location!!

Little 3 year old was very excited to have found this one - didn't notice the clue for it, so she went in with her 'previous caching experience' and with a little nudging in the right direction made the find.

Found at 1130.

Apart from the muggles in the houses directly behind GZ watching us, we found the cache easily due to the hint given. Nice little hide. All good with the condition of the cache.
I left a screen wipe pack, took nothing.

Found it after an athletics meet at the Uni of the Sunshine Coast track. GPS jumped about a bit so we wondered back and forth across the "brook"which was fairly dried out. Found it fairly easily as there was a pencil on the ground nearby! Nice spot and loved the clue. TFTC

We made the find quickly, but had a dog of a time getting it out. Not sure if it was supposed to be in the hole (given the hint), so replaced where we thought it should be, but CO might want to check. Thanks for bringing us here to this delightful spot.

Looked like local kids had been using this area as a place to smoke cigars! yuck
After I spotted the perfect circle the cache was quickly located.
 
06-Apr-14
Cigar smokers hangout perhaps? Looking for a circle and there it was... Wombles found it quickly, log was signed and replaced before making our way to try and get another cache before the storm hit.

15-Feb-14
Needs a new lid and new plastic bag.
 
08-Feb-14
As per the previous log the cache has been stuffed down the perfect circle and impossible to retrieve. I have placed a new cache and log in the location where I believe it should be. The new cache is a camp eclipse tin which contains log only.
 
04-Feb-14
I've found the cache, in the perfect circle, some trinkets on ground below, leads me to think this has been muggled, I could not retrieve the cache to replace or sign log, it is stuck fast. A beautiful area thanks awesome4 for bringing us here.

Found this cache whilst out on the Sunshine Coast with Captain Terror. He had already found this cache but was kind enough to walk down with me from the car to grab it. The cache was in hand after only a short search. The log was signed and the cache replaced as found before it was back to the car and onto the next cache. Thanks for the cache awesome4

TFTC, found with 4 travelling buds and Hamish Heroes. Area a bit wet and muddy so had to be careful. Found easily enough now understand the reference to perfect circle.
TNLNSL. Thanks awesome 4 for the placement.
 
15-Jun-13
Found easily. A bit muddy and slippery so you must watch your footing. It is a perfect circle. Thanks awesome. Tnlnsl

Nice to see the circle is still as perfect as the last time I found it. The brook was babbling nicely today.

First cache of the day with Eskies5 and C Yeo Later. Having never been in the Sippy Downs area before, we were impressed with how nice everything looked. TFTC
 
20-Apr-13
Occupying our time while a younger Esky and Geoveg attended the Explorama Kids College at the USC, this was our first for the day. Quiet little spot. Urban caches here and urban caches at home are a little different with the houses being in such close proximity. TFTC.
 
06-Apr-13
Found with NursieJulie and KarenHippo. The creek next to GZ took geodog's eye and in no time he was in the water having a swim Surprised. We read the clue and after a short time NursieJulie once again found the cache. Tricky little hide. Signed our names then summonsed geodog out of the water back to the car. TFTC
 
06-Apr-13
Headed north out of Brisbane with IolantheK and Hiltonclan set for a big day (13 Hrs) of caching through and around the Glass House Mountains as part of Pprime (P`)'s MEG#4 mob Razz
For those not in the know MEG stands for "Mission Empty Glass" or to explain, P` wants to bag these caches and a bunch of us cachers went along to get them as well [^])

The cache is dry and good condition [^]

TFTC awesome4 Big Grin
 
06-Apr-13
T-Tech and I headed north again this morning bright and early to meet up with a bunch of cachers and spend a day touring around the Glasshouse Mountains collecting smilies Big Grin We were part of Pprime (P`)'s MEG#4 mob. Now we were 9: us, Hiltonclan, P`, Fangsoki, jimmyproject and CatandMouse.

A nice quick suburban find here, and the clue was clever. TFTC, awesome4.
