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.

7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

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.

Found nothing here today

With 7 DNF’s and no finds for a year, perhaps the CO could take a look to confirm if it’s still in place

Will have to come back to this one

DNF

Umm nope no luck for us.

??

No luck

This place was traffic and business muggle central today .
Had a bit of a look around, but couldn't see the container in the limited time we stopped here .
Thanks anyway SE_SA_Geocachers.

Tftc. Another small one.

Find 3 for the day TFTC

SMALLEST CACHE I’VE EVER FOUND!

out with the mogni for a maintenance run on the whole rail trail. Found dodging rain showers on a cold wet day. Detoured off the trail to do this one. I think i may have stamped over someone else's name but it was raining and i was very wet my now.

Staying in Mount Gambier this weekend and cave diving with friends. I had a bit of spare time in the morning to do some local caches, and then once we'd done our day of dives, we then travelled to a few geocaches in the area to find within the pine forests.

This was a quick find and the first one for the day. I forgot about the cache size, and so ended up having to return to my car to get a pen rather than use my stamp. Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers.

Argh nanos! Their frustration lies in the search, and even then when found, the difficulty in logging and rolling. Best characterised as that annoying friend that hangs with your bestie!

Thanks for the journey

Tftc and thanks to Misty for being tall

Accurate coordinates and the second hide of that type for the day led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers for the cache.

Spotted it as soon as I walked over to GZ, getting it was another matter! And why is it that there's no traffic at first but then it becomes a freeway as soon as you try to retrieve/replace a cache?! It was Sunday afternoon too when I thought traffic would be light. Anyway, tried a variety of 'short-arse' tools before finding the right combo TFTC

While the car was getting the cruise control looked at we decided to get new blades for the mower so we wandered up the road and grabbed this cache along the way. Log roll is rather chockas but we squeezed us in. Thanks for the cachr

Tftc

Totally tiny and evil but gotcha! TFTC

On a geohunt with my daughter, the grandies and her friend, showing him how to treasure hunt. Great cache. Tftc

Hard for kids to find

The three of us were staying in Millicent and headed to Mt Gambier for some caching and sightseeing.

Mr Tardis found this evil cache after a short search.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache SE_SA_Geocachers.

Came to find this one on Thursday far too busy corner so came back on Saturday Arvo quiet as a mouse and Easy find TFTC

Was hunting around for a while but finally found it. It is abit wet inside

Heading home after the event in Alice and grabbed this along the way. These are a terrain 2 for us with duck disease. Thankfully the geo teen was a little more athletic.
Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers for placing the cache for us to find.

A quick find with good coords for us. Found with Liz and Bruce and DiMorgan.

Mt Gambier is such a lovely location to go caching in. We found a variety of caches today and thanks to SE_SA_Geocachers for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Mount Gambier
Today we were caching with Alansee & Liz and Bruce.
After setting up camp, we headed out to do some of the local caches, we visited many interesting locations & found some intersting hides.
Thanks for placing this cache SE_SA_Geocachers

Quick find. TFTC

Got it! Only just though! Tftc

Found at 0919. Today is our last day geocaching in Mount Gambier, we leave tomorrow. A simple p & G or in my case walk up & grab. TFTC.

Quick and easy find with ferociousflea crossing off another calender day!

Quick one for the day.. Found with Astronaut99.. Thanks

This was not where I expected it to be but it all made sense. This size can be had to find! TFTC

Found it

Found it

Found it easy find

Easy found

Owl had to go to Mount Gambier on a not-very-Blues-Brothers Mission for God and took Mrs SA Sewer Rats with her for company and caching. Once there they collected the enthusiastic muggle aunt, Bowerbird, and set off on a caching adventure. A quick search and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Before setting out on their adventure Owl and Rat had done some shopping for supplies. A particular geotool came in handy, along with the sparse traffic.

Bear in mind that nanos are the spawn of Satan and need to be destroyed wherever found! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikbpQHLcuaM

After what seemed like a million attempts at this one, we finally found it today. TFTC

In Mount Gambier with Happy Pants for a day of caching. We weren't sure what to expect here, but soon spotted the cache. Even though it was Saturday arvo, the traffic was quiet. Once the cars had cleared, we just managed to grab it, I can see this would be difficult to get during peak times. TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers.

Tricky little blighter!!! Found with Yoshi Warriors in between the muggles passing, TFTC.

Suscoe headed out early today as our time in Mount Gambier is quickly disappearing.
It was a very foggy start to the day but as time went by the blue sky gently emerged and a splendid day was had by us.
45 cache finds in total which was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed all the finds.
This is a terrific location for geocaching and we have loved our time in the Mount.

A pleasant stop here and a quick find.
Thanks to the SE SA Geocachers for this hide.

No luck for me today - might have to drag my taller muggle partner along next time we are in town. Thanks for the hunt this evening

No luck for us today
Intersection way too busy for a good look

Came via Naracoorte to have my car serviced on the way through to Mt. Gambier. Was able to grab 17 caches on the way. Once here I hooked up with mogni to grab a few caches before the sun set whilst she did some cache maintenance.
Stopped and grabbed this one on the way back to my overnight digs. Mmmm. Sneaky.
Insert Freddo nano rant.......HERE......... you know how it goes and there goes another kitten.
Thanks SE SA Geocachers.

Thought I should go and grab this one...
It's been here for a while and I hadn't been bothered finding it... until now

We are staying at Beachport for a 4 night camping trip with Earthlight & muggle friends, no electricity as we are camping in the national park, it has been a fantastic time spending time down this way finding caches along the way,another quick and easy find for us today : ) TFTC

The sun had gone down when we located this cache .
A quick find.
TFTC

Needed longer arms!

Staying in Mt Gambier for a few days of relaxation with the hubby and geokids (age 4 & 6). Naturally I had to pick up a few caches in this cache filled town! This afternoon I headed out with master 4 for a few more caches. I was pleased I had a kid otherwise this cache would've been impossible. The terrain needs lifting to reflect this hide otherwise people will waste their time. Thanks for the smilie

Certainly an appropriate spot for a cache with this name. TFTC

Out on an evening caching run...quickly located the tiny thing but couldn't grab it, needed a taller friend to get it. Thanks SL TFTC!!!!

Easiest nano ever.
Took a bit to retrieve the log
Suggest tool needed.
Tftc!!

Tricky little hide but I move forward 2 places tftc

Extremely tight to get out had no geo tools so initialed the roll!!

Another great weekend with my geofamily, plenty of miles and smiles with a few geocaches found along the way.

Good location for a cache with this name. We started by looking in the wrong spot.

Thanks forthe cache SE SA Geocachers.

And we're off!!! TFTC

Day 4 of our trip to Mount Gambier and we all (Moneydork, Tounga, sushilord and I) had the whole day to cache while slowly heading home...slowly because there are sooo many caches to find
All up, I had 53 cache finds and 3 DNFs for the day.

Yet another cache found in the Mountopoly series and at the same time, I've started collecting McDonalds Monopoly tokens
The boys looked there and I looked at Go and I was right!

TNLN. SL. TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers

all good

owner check... cache is in place..

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I noticed that this cache has been unavailable for an extended period of time without maintenance occuring as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

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 plan on repairing this cache, please log a reviewer note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days detailing when it will be replaced, so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a reviewer note every month (28 Days) to keep everyone up to date.

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

Another DNF for the afternoon.

geo hubby dnf.

Hasn't been found since 29 Aug 2014. Maybe needs checking again

Looked in the obvious places, checked hint, looked again, read logs. TOO many DNFs so we went. Will log a maintenance request.

Didn't find this one, the 4 of us had a good go at it but then I saw the other DNFs and decided to keep moving.

Did not pass GO!
Did not collect $200 =[
Safe travels.
Cheers & hoppy caching =]

Decided to stop at GO and collect $200 before heading back home to VIC. Unfortunately we had no luck and have to return home empty handed

A quick find today - thank you!!

Replaced and good to GO!

Went back again for a second look and got busted by a local geocacher. He confirmed that it was missing. No $200 for us

Glad I only have little kids to put on shoulders

Great little nano TFTC

Hardest part of finding this one was the muggles in a rather busy location!

TFTC

Pete

Oh clever. One of those nowhere to hide caches but it is there.

Hard to find!!

Went searching on a quiet day. Skies were clear but after a little while it hit us like a lightning bolt. TFTC.

There wasn't a sole in sight when we grabbed this one. As soon as we had it in our hands, this road became so busy! We had to wait 10 minutes before putting it back. Tftc.

[blue]Congratulations this series has reached the voting level for the SAGA Awards 2013. Please find attached graphic for reaching the final voting stage of the Awards.[/blue]

Would have taken a lot longer if not for the clue.

Very quiet intersection today, searched some obvious spots then read the clue. TFTC

Good grief ... every runner, walker, dog owner and romantic couple in the South East wandered by as I tried to make the grab!!! ...... then all cleared and the (little) prize was mine!!

Found by geo dad very clever

We rolled double 6 and a 5 and a 6 ahhh!! double pay day." Why cant every payday be like this."
TFTC

Found on The Joy of SECS weekend along with Astro, Freddo, four-fun & Team Waldron.
So much work gone into this game, amazing!!
Great spot, cool cache.
TFTC SECS Team

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 SE_SA_Geocachers and clear skies from TeamAstro.

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.
