Greek Alphabet - Ksi or Xi Stake Hill, Western Australia, Australia

Replaced the cache it's now a mint tin

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.

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.

This has been in need fo some TLC for a while now.
Ideally, it would be great to be replaced but if not, lets free up for another hider.

I saw the tbree sawn off sign posts. I used the theory that the caches are a bit off gps readings. I searched the grating, the fence, the poles. I thi k this one needs checking please. And where does that path lead anyway?

Like others gps saying up on freeway.

There are 3 sign posts that have been removed where GZ should be. This one is gone.

Coords put the cache on the freeway, according to my devices. Could not reach over fence either

I think CO needs to check this one - quite a few dnf now

Last one in the series and we couldn’t find. We’ll have to come back again soon

Could not find this one unfortunately

Cant find it anywhere

Another one in series found - did some last year and nice to get some more found.
This one took some searching as co-ords a bit off for me.

Ebenie strikes again

Awesome thanks

Spider webs!!

Out for a lovely walk, on a beautiful day. Tftc sl tnln.

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 9 metres NE of where we found the cache.

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

A caching weekend with Pood, today was much warmer on the bikes, but have enjoyed the hunts TFTC

Found it TFTC lou&tam. Really great series day a day trip.

Thank you for the cache lou&tam.
Cheers TLC

Hi there lou&tam.

We found your cache **"Greek Alphabet - Ksi or Xi"** at 9:42:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 15024.

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 16 caches today & DNF'd 4. 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.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Tftc out about 9m and lots of spiders

Tftc was out by about 9m, so many spiders

Don't jump the fence. GZ was out 7m. Tftc

Found Greek Alphabet – Ksi or Xi. TNLN SL TFTH lou&tam.

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!

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.

TFTC, doing the Greek Alphabet and TD series on the geobikes, lovely sunny winters day.

We decided to do the Greek Alphabet today, xi done. TFTC

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

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.
Another smiley collected while trying to decide which way to go next.
TFTC and series lou&tam

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.
The GPS originally took us on a bit of a wild goose chase but after looking in some of the 'usual' spots I made the find. The problem was then retreiving the cache as a rather large spider had made itself comfortable on it. After tracking down a stick to gently remove said spider (and leaving my daughter and husband in stitches as it took offence to my removal which may have made me squeel a little) I finally had the log book in hand.
The cache is in good condition and was replaced exactly as found. TFTC

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.

On the treadly now for a bit and found it after a short search at GZ. Evidence of people jumping the fence here, thought that wouldn't be necessary and was proven right.

lou&tam I found your cache at 1:54pm, this was the 44th of 56 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2958. 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.

Check it out at [GC5YAGP](http://coord.info/GC5YAGP)

Hello lou&tam - I found this cache today (my find # 3349) 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 . The coordinates are good and the cache and log are in good condition. SL.Thanks to lou&tam for the cache.

GZ a bit out but still a simple and logical hide. TFTC lou&tam.

TFTF GPS was all over the place today. Took me longer then it should have! Beautiful day for a walk with the kiddies

TFTC! Out for a bike ride to cleanup more of the Greek alphabet series. Was a lovely ride which was a nice little workout. Thanks

A gorgeous day out on the bikes with the kids in tow. We made most of the finds easily, coords were great. Thanks for the cache.

Back after last weeks weather had made me stop. Good quick find TFTC

Found this cache during our 2 week trip around Australia.
Nice and easy find!
Interesting idea for trail..
Thanks for the cache!
Greetings from Latvia!

Found it

Log book saturated makes it nearly impossible to write on

Found it

Tftc Cheers

Logs helped not near road x TFTC

Miss Shoreina spotted this one

Maintenance run, new log.

TFTC!

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.
Ksi is a spelling I am not familiar with, so there you have it - something new today.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7971. 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.

The log and plastic bag need some TLC here.

Thanks lou&tam

Originally logged under family caching name. Clan- Wallace.Now relogging under new name.

Guessed the appropriate spot from a long way off. TFTC

This one had us stumped for a while but an educated search came up with the goods.

Down here to catch up with family for Christmas and found some time to do some caching. Got up early and decided to see how many of this series i could knock off. 15 out of 15. Tftc.

Found it. TFTC.

Found it on the ground. Slim size and magnet suggested where it should be though my coords out by 10m. So that's where I put it. An "obvious" spot, not up near road. TFTC.

nice and quick tftc

This was one of the finds I had today. A great weekend traveled down from Geraldton to spend all day Saturday Geocaching with my Sister we found 61 all up completely worn out but what an Awesome day.

Tftc. Compass slightly out.

Out on me new mountain bike today grabbing some caches along the way. We trekked over 30 kms today just on our bikes alone. Had mikirst with me for company. TFTC

A lovely day for a bike ride along the freeway with S'n'N to find some caches.

TEAM HAY-LEE!

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.

TFTC. Nice day for a walk and some straight forward caches

Tftf compass slightly out

Lovely cool day for a caching bike ride... enjoyed this a lot.
I didn't learn the Greek Alphabet at school so this was a bit of an educational caching run for me tftc!

The Greek alphabet series was a good excuse to take the new bikes for another ride.
Didn't finish them all as we had to get back home and get ready for work, but the co-ords on the ones we did do were spot on so this made for quick finds.
Loved the variety of containers, it kept us guessing on what we would be looking for from cache to cache.
Sorry about the copy & paste, will add anything extra at the end if I need too.

TFTH TFTS lou&tam

The rain beat us to this one. Will be back another day.

Out with AutumnOwl for an afternoon of the Greek Alphabet, we opted for two wheel transport, nice mild afternoon for it, had a great time. TFTC

Another clever cache in this series! Really enjoyed it, TFTC lou&tam

Thanks

Out with ZilVert and SykesKids finishing off the Greek alphabet.Most were easy and were quick finds.
TFTC lou&tam

Was out with GeoJake21 and Zilvert to finish of the Greek Alphabet series. Most of them were easy but some were a bit trcky with co-ords out but still foud all of them. TFTC lou&tam

Out cycling and caching with SykesKids and GeoJake21. Really enjoying these nice easy finds. TFTC lou&tam.

Grabbed a few of this series on an early morning walk. Lovely morning and enjoyed looking for different caches.
Thanks Lou & Tam.

So to finish off this series I resuscitated my old bike, a verge find 3 years ago, which then cost me $30 to get "fixed". Bought the helmet, the pump, and off I went. All good so far! TFTC lou&tam!

Hopped on the bike and gave this series a shot. A great series with varied hides that keep you interested. One hide in particular was very unusual - the likes of which I have never come across before. Thanks for this great series.

out with JoshyJayPlay to tackle tackle series today on a milder day....It has been a fantastic series...TFTC and TFTS..

Our 1800th Cache on our 200th day of continuous caching

Took a walk on dusk to find the last 4 caches in this section.
Made a quick find at this one.

Thanks for the cache lou&tam [^] - all was in good order, even though the container was a little bent

Yay, found this one quickly and we don't need to go any further north as we had already found these on a previous outing . Once again disappointing to see that the container appears to have been deliberately damaged. Tom straightened it up as best as possible and at least the lid closes now. Now we have the long hot walk back to the car!
Thanks for the cache lou&tam.

Decided to attempt this series today on a very hot (40 degree) day. Fortunately this reduced the muggle population greatly and only saw 3 bike riders on the whole leg. Thanks for the series!

K.B. logging for MDV. Thanks for the hide.

Please excuse copy/paste logs. Stopped to log the 11 Greek letters that had been published since my last trip south. It was HOT at 1pm today and the exposed nature of the path made the walk less than pleasant. I am however most appreciative of your hides and the effort you have put into this series. The "big" gap to Omega almost broke me; I was so dizzy when I stood up from logging the find that I thought MDV was going to have to carry me back to the car. Thanks for the caches lou&tam.

With the Geokids on GeoRipsticks and Geomum on foot, we set off on a long walk/ rip along the freeway. An easy find, tftc.
[:o)]

I found this with my dad (Kyzabra) and am now cacthing up on logging

Thanks lou&tam for placing this cache.
I found it at 7:00:00 PM on Monday, 23 December 2013
This is my find #14 out of 14 today.
Total finds to date : 47

On a power ride while kyzabra did the caches accessible from the road and I did the bike path

After a play with the Geokids at a skate park, we decided to go hunt some caches.
This was our target so we unloaded the bikes for the kids on the bike path, and I drove along beside them.
The two older Geokids would ride up ahead on each cache, while the younger one and I would sign the log.
We had the pattern down pat and got this section completed pretty quickly.
A perfect strike rate today, with most caches being found fairly quickly.
Not many muggles which is always a bonus.
Thanks for the series Lou & Tam.
Will return with my bike to complete the rest.

Was out and about with Geo-Dad today (Kyzabra)
Found this on our trails.
We road along the path, while dad rode in his car
TFTH

Decided on a trip to Mandurah today, to do some caching.
Many changes have been done in the town, since we lived there.
We started the morning with a bike ride, to do the Greek Alphabet series.
A good variety of cache hides, made it interesting and a lot of fun.
Thanks lou&tam, for all the work and effort that went into this series.

Finally had the time and a lovely day to search out the last of the Greek Alphabet caches. I have enjoyed the walk and the hides.

TFTC. lou&tam

Dropped in on my way home from work to grab this one. Parked as close as I could then walked the rest of the 400m.
My GPS too was directing me towards the freeway. I noticed something on the back of the sign on the side of the freeway and nearly scaled the fence to check it out but figured that surely couldn't be it.
I decided to widen my search after reading previous logs and quickly located the cache.
TFTH, now to get back to the car before the rain sets in!

Tftc out for a walk introducing some muggles to the sport

Mr iluvtrekking and Mr richlink made quick finds at all caches. Thanks lou&tam
