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.

So the geokids and i headed off for a Good Friday geocache adventure, I was the only excited one lol found 12 in under 3hrs which I was quite proud of!! Reached a milestone of 300 finds before the kids got over and it wanted to go home!! I wanted to do another 6 but the geokids were "bored"..have kids they said, it will be fun they said!!
Geokids had their hands on this before I could say anything!

Our last day at Mount Gambier, before heading east, to catch up with muggle friends.
We enjoyed driving around the pine forest, picking up these caches, with only 1 DNF.

Cache was located after a short search, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this series of caches, GoShaz, for us and others to find.

Staying in the Mount for the weekend. So started the day with the typical tour of all the garage sales. Even managed to pick up a few bargains to appease the caching widow back home. [^] That done it was time for mogni and I do get on with some cache hunting.
Still had a little bit of time before catching up with Beaker to have a go at the Perception series multi.
So mogni drove, I jumped out and quickly found these. Thanks GoShaz,

Found on our day of geocaching the outskirts of Mount Gambier.

Day 2 at Mount Gambier. Once again we headed out into the forest, comming home by some more days of August. A tougher day out here, there has been plenty of rain & some of the roads are muddy.
Quiet a few had not been found for over 6 months, so with extra growth & falling needles it took some time.
Thanks for placing this cache GoShaz

Another clutch of caches out in the forest was just too good an excuse for a bike ride
The shades of green were numerous out in the forest.
But shades of a few cachers were also evident along the way

Looks like I started me bike ride on a good note.
The cache was easy to find after some negotiations with the local scenery

Oh why does OZ have so many spiky plants ??? [:o]

Staying in the Mount for night on our way to Melbourne for goedaughter basketball tournament. What better way to explore a city than picking up a few caches. TFTCs, this series/trail is very special.

A 3 day caching expedition with Freddo, Astro, WhiteDogGang an Four Fun.

Apologies for the generic log but we did a few trails and some of the Mountopoly series. We also did most of the BLE series.

The mozzies were full on at times and it rained most of the first day.

TFTC

Always fun to do a Rizzos cache.
This cache was found on the Joy of SECS Tour 2013. Thanks for the cache. Our group had a lot of fun this weekend. We were in a rush today and there was more caches to find. Woot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found when on 'The Joy of SECS' tour/assault along with Freddo, Astro, Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. Much fun was had, very wet boots were experienced and many caches were found including this one!
Cheers & TFTC [^]

Found on The Joy of SECS weekend along with Astro, Freddo, four-fun & Team Waldron.
Great spot, cool cache.
TFTC GoShaz

Cache found on the Joy of SECS tour with four-fun, Freddo, thewhitedoggang and Team Waldron. There were a stack of boxes to find so we pushed on. We even had a quick round of Mountopoly and a couple of Powertrails to add to the fun. The weather was cool and sometimes icy so wet boots were the order of the day.


Thanks to GoShaz and clear skies from TeamAstro.

In Mt Gambier for our annual square dancing weekend and this year the xambo4u team are here also. Today we are heading to Glencoe for the launch of their book and to check out family history. We picked up a few on the way and on the way homeward decidied to clear out many of this series. Another quick find and our last for the day. TFTC and the series.

Out and about with 80 degrees enjoying a square dance weekend. Got some time off to check out some interesting places and do some caching.
This was an easy find for the day
Thanks for the cache GoShaz

Found it

Had to go and find this Cache whilst out hiding a few new ones with the Kids!! This caching family are pretty Awesome , Have heard good things about them..Lets just hope they hang in there for a while yet this time!!
Thanks GoShaz for Immortalising me in the mud under a bush!!
Will check the rest out on our next adventure up this way!!
Cheers

Just adding a favourite!!

Dodge the puddles? Nah! We went through them! Make it more fun and get as dirty as!

We had to dodge a few puddles to get to this one, the area is a bit wet from all the rain we have had. The cache was out in the open and was exposed so after signing the log we put it back and hid it a bit better.

We know the rizzos well, Mr UC has worked with him for 20 years.
I hear a rumour they are about to start caching again...

There were no cows at this cache

This cache is NOT affected by the forestry road closures

In company with the Pprass team, we spent an enjoyable day, caching around Mt Gambier.
An interesting little series for us, as we recognised the names and learnt more about the CO's whose caches we had sought over the past couple of days.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt GoShaz.

Found at 12:32 PM GAFF5 in the company of Phetlern. We have found that a few of Rizzos' caches have not been maintained. Looks like they stopped again later in 2012.
Regarding the "old days" - yes it was a lot of fun chasing one or two caches over vast distances. At events we all would have done "those" caches and we would have a roaring time describing our adventures. Now there are so many caches that it is very unlikely that 2 or more teams would have done the same caches. And there were no such things as blasted nanos [:(!]
Thanks GoShaz

We started to notice the foot prints in the sandy pine soil, these prints led us right to the cache hehe TFTC

Nice hide. Realized later we left footprints. Ha, ha. Tftcsl.

Second stop on our list was this cache by one of our favorate local cachers, (pitty they don't come out & play much any more). Love this series top work GoShaz
TFTC

It was a shame that we were coming to the end of the series. All the caches have been a treat. TFTC.

Found quickly. TFTC

another quick find on a great series. TFTC.

Found on our way home from a family holiday to beachport
