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 page and post a 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.

Perhaps the CO can check that the cache is still there.

My caching day has been very hit and miss today, I think I've had as many DNFs as Finds, and this one added to the DNF list. I systematically checked every part of the roof and all other parts of the inside of the structure, including the metal tab near the floor at the entrance, and I couldn't find the nano.
 
23-Apr-15
Had a really good look in this odd little structure, checked all the magnetic friendly places i could bit still no nano. TFTC
 
20-Apr-15
Spent 30 minutes looking in the structure mentioned in previous logs and no luck Sad
 
21-Feb-15
TFTC!
 
05-Feb-15
Took a while to work out which "structure" to look in but easy find once that was established. Lovely park that I didn't even know existed. TFTC
 
14-Jan-15
Thanks for the quick find. Nice park.
 
11-Jan-15
Easy find. Will return with pen to sign log. Tftc.
 
14-Dec-14
A nice little playground and an unusual structure indeed Smile Wifey as always finding the prize. TFTC Smile
 
09-Dec-14
A very strange structure indeed but it did provide excellent coverage while searching for the cache. It didn't take long to find it. Took about as long to extract the scroll. Luckily I always get around with my tweezers for these occasions. Found it on an early morning bike ride. Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Dec-14
Strange structure. I can see someone has been busy creating "art". Easy find. Cheers
 
15-Nov-14
Wasn't quite where I expected. TFTC.
 
30-Oct-14
Found it. Nice park.
 
21-Oct-14
Another very nice geocache/playground for us while babysitting. TFTC
 
19-Oct-14
Found it within a few mins thank you Smile
 
18-Oct-14
In the area to grab some finds. Nice quiet spot cheers
 
16-Oct-14
In the area this afternoon and had picked out three caches to have a go at. Two should be easy and one might be a little hard. Turns out the easy ones were hard and the hard one was easy.

I had thought that this would be the hard one not knowing what to expect at GZ. When I arrived and with the hint in mind I had it in my hand within a number of seconds. I was interested to find a new log in the cache, put my mark in spot number one.

13-Oct-14
Picked this up after the FTF get in the next park down good to see it back and ready to find plenty of spiders hiding in here at night
 
12-Oct-14
Cache replaced and ready to go. Looked for new spots in the park but came up null. So it is just a replacement.
 
08-Oct-14
Had another look tonight.. Any chance CO could check if still in play?
 
08-Oct-14
I'll check this when in the area next. I believe this should still be here, the logs have been mixed...
 
29-Sep-14
No luck here
 
22-Aug-14
Hi found it
 
07-Aug-14

Didn't find it. Think it has been taken.
 
01-Dec-13
Tried hard but no clue for us.
 
13-Oct-13
Found it yesterday when walking dog but had no pen. Went back with pen today and no geocache. Couldn't find it. Hope it hasn't been muggled.
 
06-Oct-13
Night geocaching. Found it second try. Smile
 
05-Oct-13
Spent a few minutes looking in the wrong place, then read some logs and the hint and realised that I needed to re-locate. Had the cache in hand shortly thereafter. I don't know what this structure is. I have memories of this park from shortly after the area was developed ... a person who was very special to me at that time lived a few doors away.

SL. Thanks for the cache Lachlan1.77

A quick find after work to fill in a blank day in the caching calendar. Interesting structure and I too wondered what its original purpose was, especially with the cut off HV cable poking out of the ground.

Thanks for the cache Lachlan1.77 [^]

What a fabulous geocache container you've built! It must have taken ages to age the bricks, rust the steel and make it fit into the environment. I liked the fake hinge fittings at the 'doorway'. Seriously, you've to wonder what this things original function was. Obviously abandoned, great place to hide a container free from muggles thwarting our hunts. Thanks Lachlan for the hide.
 
23-Jun-13
Visited with iluvtrekking. Yep, its there!
 
23-Jun-13
Eagle eye Mrs richlink spotted this one. Thanks Lachlan.
 
16-Jun-13
Will give it a check but I reckon it is still here...
 
16-Jun-13
We couldn't find the nano every after using the hint, maybe someone has stolen it.
 
16-Jun-13
No offence but your skill level is 3 finds and someone found it today so I don't think it is missing... There are an absolute tonne of places to search and I chose the best... As your new to caching I kindly suggest that you log DNF's rather than needs maintenance... Usually you log needs maintenance when there have been multiple DNF's or when you are certain it isn't there. My hint doesn't provide and accurate enough location of the cache as the structure has so much metal on it that it would take for ever to search. Will still check up though!

[:(!] Went for a three hour caching run before heading off to Northam and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

No problems today after a DNF on my previous visit. Nice to see the cache replaced.

Certainly safe from muggles watching you!!

Thanks Lachlan1.77

Online! Another nano now in place at the same coordinates but now a different spot. Listing has been updated according to the new position. Sorry for the enormous delay! Enjoy the cache and the terrific park! Big Grin
 
06-May-13
Unfortunately there were muggles eyeing me off so I will try and replace the cache later in the week! Sorry!
 
22-Apr-13
Hi everyone! Unfortunately I was unable to get here lately and fly out tommorow... Sorry everyone!!! I get back at the beginning of May and will immediately replace so please don't archive! Once again, very sorry for the long delay! Sad
 
03-Apr-13
Sorry for the delay! My bike went into unexpected urgent maintenance today but I should have it replaced in the next week or so. I plan to borrow my brother's to replace it today but can't confirm anything!

Once again sorry for the delay!
 
01-Apr-13
Found a likely spot but no cache found, this one may have been muggled.
 
24-Mar-13
Had a fairly good look around outside, but no luck for me today.
 
24-Mar-13
Will check up ASAP... Hoping it's not missing
 
17-Mar-13
Did the rounds with iluvtrekking and after investigating a couple of spots decided to phone a friend. Seems we were looking in the right spot but no joy for us. Happy to log a DNF if it proves to be still there.
 
17-Mar-13
Resorted to the phone a friend option and still came up empty handed. We think this may have been muggled.
 
27-Feb-13
Well we were hoping for a quick drive-by, but this one took a long long time to find Razz The neighbouring muggles may have put us off a bit, one standing at his front door and another peering over his front gate Twisted Eventually they disappeared and we could have a good search... Jase came up with the sneaky little devil Big Grin

TFTC Lachlan1.77. Cache is in good condition and dry Smile

Found after couple of walks around the wall, inside and out.

On a trip to see my Dad I grabbed three caches near Riseley St. I approach this one from the right direction and fortunately I saw it as I walked up.

Thanks Lachlan1.77.

Had a good look around and soon spoted it. TFTH SL.

Mrs Felix off on a caching morning with The Machman leaving home at 0545hrs.

Boy did we do this the hard way. Eventually it was spotted but it took quite a bit to retrieve.

Finally a double check of the geo kit and a suitable tool was located.

There were a few muggles on the playground but we were out of their sight.

TFTC
 
18-Jan-13
The Machman and Felix out for a mornings Caching around Mount Pleasant.

Looked at the wrong object first, but then moved on to the second.

Spotted the cache, but could not reach it without tools from the Geobag
However once in hand, soon signed and replaced.

TFTC.

One more Lachlan1.77 cache found and many more to find! Sneaky little hide. TFTC SL.
 
16-Jan-13
I had to phone Mickeydv to confirm where the cache was hidden. Turns out it wasn't hidden where it was supposed to be hidden. As luck would have it, while I was on the phone, I found the cache lying in the grass. Thanks for the cache Lachlan1.77.
 
14-Jan-13
Anothet lovely park area - no muggles at this time... Signed the log. Thanks Lachlan1.77.
