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 or message centre) 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.

Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.

Had a fairly good idea where this one should have been but after 15 minutes and an increasingly tired son we left here empty handed.

Out caching on my lonesome as geo kids didnt want to come! Driving this leg today. Enjoying the tunes and the serenity!!
Could not find this one My car seen spotted up and down this rd caught the attention of some i assume residents and they had bages not sure who they were. Stopped as loads of burglaries...but few fellow cachers, so they didnt think i was completely weird or a burglar

Signed Grubby G. TFTC, I enjoyed this series, which I started 2 years ago.

Thought I would try and knock this series off today, the weather is beautiful although a little chilly in the morning. I found all the caches and replaced logs or containers as I went to keep this series alive. tftc

I was so thrilled to find this cache - I have had such bad luck with caches in Mandurah - they all seem to be vandalised or missing. At last I stumbled onto a a great area where they work! Struggled a bit to tuck it in well, but I perservered! Tftc

An interesting extra dimension added to my cache finding today. My phone GPS has issues and reckons I was 750m away! I struggled with this one as it was harder to locate the host using satellite maps but my cache radar I got lucky again. TFTC.

This was our first full day of caching from our base at Mandurah, many of the caches we found, belonging to the various series, which appear as green snakes on our geo map of this part of WA.
Satellites today had our GZ 8 metres WNW of where we found the cache.

Thanks lou&tam for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Hi there lou&tam.

We found your cache **"Greek Alphabet - Lambda"** at 11:03:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 15021.

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 18 caches today & DNF'd 2. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Headed to Mandurah to have a go at this power series on a well deserved day off work, Completed the Marlee Reserve series first and then found ourselves here ready to start this Greek Alphabet series. Had a great day thanks to excellent coords that made finding the caches so much better. Variety of cache types and perfect distances between caches made this series one to remember. LOved the bisons. TFTC's!
 
24-Jul-16
Came down to the area principally to complete the Greek alphabet series. I started on the nearby TDxxx Horse themed series before heading this way. I parked up near the middle of the series and cycled to the start. I managed to find all caches in the series, some easier than others and some quite tricky ones. I finished the day with 37 finds ans luckily no DNF's so quite a successful day. Thanks lou&tam for the caches.

A mothers day cache run with m4yb and her daughter WebbleyWA, and a nice day for a bike run, after the last couple of weeks with the rain.

Thanks lou&tam for the series and the smily's
 
08-May-16
What better way to spend mothers day than out caching! So headed out with m4yb and megawat60 to collect some smileys and give my new 2 wheel vehicle a test run.

After quite some time at the last one I'm glad this was a quick find

TFTC and series lou&tam

Good little find
 
28-Mar-16
I've been eyeing off this series for a while and decided it was a great excuse to get the family out for a bike ride today.
I have to admit I thought the Lambada was just a dance until today Wink I didn't learn the Greek Alphabet in school so have definintely a few new things.
The cache is in good condition and was replaced exactly as found. TFTC
 
28-Feb-16
Running up the numbers today in readiness of my 3000th find in Albany next week. Had a go at my unfound SWH caches down to Pinjarra and then some Greek Alphabets on the way back plus a few others here and there.

A nice quick find here in the first spot I checked.

lou&tam I found your cache at 1:27pm, this was the 42nd of 56 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2956. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

Hello lou&tam - I found this cache today (my find # 3352) and the cache is in good condition. It was a quick find while out Geocaching (and exercising) before Christmas Christmas slows me down to a halt Smile. The coordinates are good and the cache and log are in good condition. SL.Thanks to lou&tam for the cache.

Day thirty of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Spent the day on the deadly treadlies riding all around bits of Mandurah. We started on the Greek Alphabet, then the Horse trail, the Marlee Reserve (for lunch), then a few odd ones to finish up on the 366 challenge for BB.
Now you are on my wavelength!
We missed this one on the way up, but after seeing a pile of your other hides, gave it another go - and were successful this time.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7969. Another lovely sunny day here in the West. Robmc and I decided to attack the Greek Alphabet series by bicycle and although it was fairly windly along the highway it was nice to have the wind at our back on the return trip to the car. Unfortunately, a lot of maintenance needs to be done along this trail. Nearly all the plastic bags are torn and need to be checked/replaced.

We had spent too long searching for this one when we started so re-visited it on the way back. After much fossicking around Rob had the sneaky hide to hand. Having just read Clan Wallace's log we are not sure whether we found the original container or the replacement. It was a nice little container, unlike any others we saw in this series today. Now to branch off along the highway for the next part of the ride.

Thanks lou&tam

We found this one very tricky, in fact we gave up & decided to look for it on the way home. Which we did but a strange thing happened. The cache we found would appear to be the original that was replaced in January 2014 because the last signature on it is for 5/1/14. It is a nice little container & we signed THIS LOG & put it back where we found it.

Well the golf has finished and so the phone is ringing - I think they want lunch Sad Maybe we can sneak in just one more in this session.
 
29-Dec-14
A quick pick up today, up this way to catch up with family and a few bonus caches along the way.
Thanks for the series.
 
28-Dec-14
For this section of the Greek Alphabet I decided to drive while hubby jumped in and out of the car to make the finds. We had cycled to find the other section some time ago now, so we were well overdue to finish this series.
A couple of times I jumped out as well if he was taking too long and a few times I had to yell from the car to look in the obvious place.
Overall, for a hubby not keen on caching, he did well.

Quick find for our last one of the series so I left a Skippy46 Pathtag.

Thanks for the series lou&tam......very enjoyable.

Riding the geo-bike to clear the Greek Alphabet series and some other caches in the area. Really enjoyed the different cache types and hiding spots. Most caches were easy to find and in good condition, Thanks for putting this series together.
