One or more of the following has occurred:
No response from the cache owner.

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.

Spent an hour or so no container found.

Well that was disappointing

This took us 3 hours, cut our hands up. I suggest putting it in an easier spot

Nope

Looked for an hour with 2 people but unfortunately no luck!

Really wonder if this cache is still active. Two of us searched for half an hour.

Found with earthlight and Gwen from The X-Trailers. Today the plan was to visit PMR Caves and afterwards cache around Mt Gambier but plans change
We started at Mt Gambier before crossing the border for PMR cave, back to cache more of the Mount, then moved onto Tarpeena, Nangwarry, Kalangadoo, Trihi, Mt Burr and finally out back of Rocky Camp before returning home. A nice casual day of caching with fabulous friends
This is one we found on our journey today. All quiet here and a great spot to sit and eat lunch.
Home run... located the cache

TFTC

Out and about with Earthlight and 3LG
While luz sat in the car as she had previously fiund it Linda and I went seeking the cache

Signed the lig and returned to the car to sit in shade and have some lunch

Got very close but muggles with bats scared me away.
Maybe next visit.

Found thanks to the hint. Cold and windy evening here in the Mount, good to get out for a walk. TFTC

Unfortunately with a baseball game on today, I don’t think I would have gotten away with having a search of the area haha.
I’ll be back another weekend..!

Today my gps was about 10meters out so was searching the wrong end. Eventually found and signed the log. A muggle free area this morning. TFTC

Caching with my grandson and had to do a stop off to the nearby toilets mid-search, very happy they were open on a weekday with no sport on, on our return found quickly when we rechecked where we had first thought it would be. TFTC

Nice and easy

Got it on a quiet day

Found with Liz and Bruce. Our last cache for the day. It took several minutes but in the end a bit of a hint helped and we had our hands on a logical hide,

We ventured out caching again with Alansee and tried to do justice to all the great hides in the area. We enjoyed the forest tracks and scenery. We found a variety of hides and thanks to team_schnooftie for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

We're on our way to the Mega at Alice Springs and traveling all the back roads finding some great camps along the way.

Great sporting grounds here.

Thanks for placing this cache .

Saw a likely spot, checked both ends nothing. Read the previous log, climbed up, yep there it is. Went inside and retrieved. Tftc

Arrived at GZ and started a search taken into account earlier logs and issues for short people as well as then warning. Soon spotted a likely location and soon had the cache. TFTC

Yeah real easy find

Very tricky but got it in the end!

Found it but hard with short people

Found it.

Found this cache with clare007 and hevwalker on an expedition to the south east! We had perfect weather on our trip …. Picking up some great Traditionals, multis and puzzles and a number of earthcaches. We also attended the Aussie Outback Event in Mount Gambier and local teams FT016 and Spanner111 took us on a nightcaching run!
Quick find with FT016 and Spanner11 joining us!!

What a good hide, this had us looking for some time, there were way too many options haha. We had the place to ourselves today which helped find the sneaky blighter.
We cant get over how many sports can be played in this complex!!
Thanks team_schnooftie for the cache, found, signed and replaced safe and sound as found.

Our second attempt. We we're feeling dejected and about to give up when inspiration struck the hubby and we found it! A sneaky hide - great location. Container pretty devoid of swaps. We left a keyring

Awesome find!

Nice find tftc!

Hard look but awesome find

Easy find

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 one was easy enough to find but took a little more effort for me to retrieve. Lol. Finally cache in hand and a smilie added. Many thanks

Good easy find

We knew exactly where this one was located but it took us longer than it should've because we took the long way around. TFTC

A very well hidden cache that had us going for a while tftc

Found this one difficult to discover but we eventually got there just as we were about to give up. One last look around proved to be decisive. TFTC

Taking the geo kids caching during the school holidays, while towing a 24 foot caravan. We'll grab every opportunity to grab a cache. Had to avoid the mower man, as he was in the vicinity, so we were trying to make a quick find and sign before alerting his suspicions. Mission acheived.
Thanks team_schnooftie for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

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

Our second find in this park, I got my hands on the cache following the directions of geodad who could see it.

Thanks for the cache team schnooftie.

A nice quick search of the softball dugout. TFTC

Day 3 of our trip to Mount Gambier and we all (Moneydork, Tounga, sushilord and I) had the whole day to play around the Mount, out to Nelson and in the forest too
All up, I had only 18 cache finds, as I'd been down to this area before, and 2 DNFs for the day.

This took a team effort from the taller team members!
Geodad spotted it and geobro retrieved it and I SL

It took a few minutes to locate this cache. Once located, retrieval was the next challenge. Finally we had the cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache team_schnooftie.

Thanks
