Logs
I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:
- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner
As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.
Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Please respond to this situation by 8th October to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (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 so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

It appears the hide has gone walkabout ... The CO hasn't been on line since Dec of 2013.
Back again, I think I looked every where. Finally I spotted a suspicious bolt at the base of a fence post. I couldn't move it though. So I checked the other fence posts along the fence line and none of them had a bolt in them. "The ol bolt in the fence post trick, hey!" Well I tried and tried and tired and I just couldn't budge that bolt. So I returned to the car and got some multigrips andwith a bit of force I was able to edge the bolt out slowly until I revealed....... a bolt. *sigh*.
I will be back!

Yep, this one's got us stumped.
Think we did everything except pull the stump out.

Looked all over the place, even brought my little one to act as cover. Worked well until he needed to go to the toilet.
Arrived back at Tullamarine Airport after a working trip to central Queensland and am heading to catch up with MuggleWife in Goughs Bay for the long weekend. This allows for a bit of a trip through the hills to grab some generally out of the way caches.
Can't say I didn't find this as I couldn't really start looking. Pulled up adjacent to the GZ under the watchful eyes of parents with children on the nearby play equipment in a small town where newcomers stand out like the proverbial. This one is definitely for another day.
Thanks for the cache Eggs11

Not for us today. A combination of a smartphone with no reception (which = no cache notes or hint or logs), plus feeling very conspicuous and exposed up on this hill, plus beta female waiting in the car meant that I wasn't able to put in the time or effort into truly looking for this one.... Hopefully next time I'm in the area.
On a day out caching with lumpyjrb and MummyJo83 this one was quickly found by Lumpyjrb but it was a great bit of camo. TFTC.
Well the boys were stumped but girl power struck again. Found with lionjrb and mama Jo. Tftc
Nicely executed!
Cheeky & well placed - you had me all but for a moment.
Taking note of a small amount of geo-destruction (nothing serious) it made me think and reconsider my search options ..... With a T/D of 5 I took a punt and sure enough I come out a winner!!
Geo-GF just shook her head with amazement with how quick I was able to snap this little beauty up.
Many thx to Eggs11 for the hide - this will prove to be an evil hide for some.

Found at 10.55am - Well this one had us stumped - I had been scouring a complete haystack until Damon (CO) arrived on the scene - He must have been laughing at our antics and came to the rescue.
We were about to give up when he gave us an extended hint.
A short search later and it was thumbs up - a clever hide.
Never have found it without you Damon - Thanks
Left 4 munzees in the area for you guys to cap if you wish.
Good one
Thanks

Great cache can't wait for the more to come, it took me a while but eventually found it
Log sheet is wet with rust marks as well. Unable to sign our name so we replaced it with a piece of paper we had, but it probably won't last long.
Second to sign the log. An excellent hide. Lucky we weren't stumped as this cache fills a square in our difficulty/terrain chart. Well worth the special trip we made out here to collect it. Gets a favourite from us.
Sorry about that Blacklegend, the log has been removed I hope you have fun finding this one!
I'm not trying to be the caching police here, but perhaps the CO could edit the contents of a log on the cache page. This game is not only played by adults, but children too, and although the true meaning of the word is a "bundle of sticks" I don't think it is aimed this way in this case.
I am aiming to find the cache tomorrow, so I'm in for the challenge.....
Cheers, BL.

With a D=5 rating I was looking forward to the challenge this cache would present. Despite a protracted search I failed to find the cache and had to walk away and go after other caches in the area.
Thanks anyway DAMO12 Eggs11 MUZZDAWG11 for the challenge.

It was very cold out on the motorcycle this morning, but I was meeting some friends for lunch at Strath Creek, and decided to grab a few caches. I was pleased to find this clever hide as a FTF. Well done, and thanks.
