One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

Last legitiment find was back on 31 Dec 2015, although owner has said cache will be replaced in a few days it has been several months with a mtce request back on 24 Aug 2016, time for reviewer intervention
 
03-Mar-17
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.

What better way to spend Grand Final afternoon than caching Cool
Spent quite a while looking here before resorting to reading some logs which narrowed the search enough.
Thanks for the cache travellinbees

Our first find for the day as we took our geomutt out for a stroll along here. Arrived at GZ and thought, hmmnm, this may take a while. Applied a bit of what we thought was logical thinking though and began to search and found the cache pretty quickly (phew, we have had baaaad experiences in rock walls before).

Was just about to give up when I noticed something sticking out.
 
27-Jul-14
A previous log meant the cache was soon in hand, signed and returned to its snuggly hiding hole. Thanks for this evening's find - it was good to knock off another EW cache!

Woo hoo! another nemesis EW Cache with a smiley! Was rained out at work and since I was within the vicinity of Smithfield oval, I thought I'd check the logs to see if any of the local caches had gotten any DNF's that I could check to see weather they were muggled or not. I saw that thanks to Mick this one was up and running again. after many a failed attempt I decided that this was my chance. off I flew for a quick search that this time saw the Smirchies with another find, YAY-UH Smirchies!

hmmm two more elephants to go....

Hoping to find a cache today to fill in a blank space on our geocalendar. We walked a couple of hundred metres from an earlier DNF but once again we didn't make a find. We definitely seemed to have left our geocaching mojo in the car Sad

Searched for quite a few minutes with all the possible hiding spots but soon gave up and hoped for more success at the next one along the trail Smile

We expected a five minute job in total to find a quick cache on the way to the shops....you'd think we would have learnt by now to expect the unexpected when caching Big Grin

Many thanks for the hide anyway travellinbees[^]

A day out geocaching today with the Pem Kids, consisting of 2 groups of 5 geokids. My group was made up of AB2013, Lavalamp411, SlipperyEl and Jedihorses. We tackled all the EW series with 17 finds and 4 DNF’s. A nice walk was had by all and generally a great day of exercise and searching. We began by signing each log individually but ended up with simply “pem kids” to save time.
Thanks for all the searches.
This one took some time and had to ring the other group who had already found it!!

Man that spider must be a bit miffed at having its web disassembled on a regular basis! Quick find in the blustery conditions. Thanks travellinbees.

Beautiful day for a walk so I decided to get 3 in this series today. GPS and my phone had me wandering all over the place for this one. I eventually found it. Had to clear some cobwebs and hoped that I wouldn't find the spider that had made them, but I didn't so that made me happy. The neighbours would've heard a very loud girl squeal if I had. Cache nice and dry. TFTC.

As I approached GZ a sense of dread washed over me - all those rocks! But happily I found it pretty quickly.
 
04-Aug-13
The sun was shining so I decided to take the kids for a walk along this trail, could only do a few because the littlest member of the group has little legs and needed to stop. TFTC Nearly gave up on this one, but as per usual spotted it as we were about to leave.

Off to do an elephant walk today as I am trying (You can say that again I can hear the Bees yelling) to get close to 7000 for my trip to India.
Working our way down the line and even managed a refresment break along the way.
Took the Mystery girl and a phone with me this time and had a lot more success.

Well not now. No luck last time I was here but a winner today.
