An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -
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.

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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Looks like it’s been burnt to a crisp. Nothing to see here folks. Tftc

DNF with Clive Staples. Did find lots of potatoes , though!

The CO doesn’t appear to be active, and given multiple DNFs, it is highly unlikely that this geocache is still in place.
Unfortunately, this geocache may need to be retired from its listing.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect, and with jesswrigley wanting a rest day at home, I decided to head up to the hills to do a couple of OTD series that hadn't been found for some time. These were the June OTD series, followed by the September OTD geoart series, just around Mount Torrens. There was evidence of the bushfires affecting some of these spots, and so where I could, helped the CO in any required repairs and replacements. In addition, I stopped off at various locations to run along the trails and in reservations/parks to do some fitness. It was a cloudy day with some showers that passed through, but otherwise, a coolish day that helped provide solo motivation at jumping in/out of the car so frequently.

The cache hide area has been burnt, and debris has been placed in the hollow, including barbed wire. I did try to have a small hunt around, but yeah, no go. I think the CO should probably investigate this one, and if required, replace. Thanks anyway SOSKAR.

Had a quick look but with recent fires there is a chance it did not survive. Is sad to see this beautiful place burnt out but at the same time great to see new life poking out of the ground and branches. I hope the people of this area can recover quickly. TFTH.

Cache is stuffed with a slightly damp log book. Managed to sign. TFTC SOSKAR.

Found. Log was wet so couldn’t fond

Easy stop while driving the hills. Cheers

Had talked to gridge98 at an event during the week and he asked me if I wanted to go caching on Friday and as I had nothing else to do I said yes. It's always good to go caching rather than sitting at home doing other less interesting things. [^] We decided to meet in Stirling and cache around the hills as we both had plenty of caches that we hadn't found.

I love driving the back roads in the hills and finding caches is a bonus. [^] This one took a little while, but we got there in the end.

Thanks for the cache SOSKAR.

A detour up the back roads to the spring caches.

A little bit of a search although the hint wasn’t very clear.

A quick discussion the other night on a caching day out with @JJ52 for today, we decided to go up into the hills as we both had quite a few to find. A great day out in some areas I had never been, we cached around Uraidla, Oakbank and Nairne. A total of 44 finds and 2 did not finds for the day. Thanks to the Cache owners for their placements.

Thanks for the cache.

Are we there yet?

Thanks SOSKAR

Was a nice day, so got out on the trusty motor bike for a ride in the hills grabbing a few caches. Managed a little smudge on the log which is basically now just a mushy mess. Needs to be replaced. TFTC

Nice find while in the area with tmann421.
Really enjoying travelling around and discovering more about these areas.
Thanks for all the effort put into these placements

Out with woolwood9 and we enjoyed getting some more finds in the area.
Thanks for putting this cache out and showing us around!
Log totally soaked.

The log here is very damp and no longer able to be written on. It needs replacing.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found another micro in the country side. Very damp and needs to be replaced. Only able to put M & M on this very mushy log. TFTC.

A great little hide. Found the container on the ground so hid it quite nicely again. Log book needs maintenence. TNLN. Cheers.

Out with Sir_spectre exploring the dusty tracks. Today we targeted OTD June and September and any others we came across

Tftc SOSKAR

found with rod81w. taking the cachers route to the nearby power trails. found 2 out of the 3 in this series we looked for.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Slowing making my way back from Williamstown today with AnyMules...
The sun had set so out came our torches...so took a bit of a search but found eventually...
TFTC SOSKAR

Took a little bit of searching in the dark but we found it

Thanks for the cache SOSKAR. Found on 16 Sep 2017 at 6:55 pm. Find #5115.

We found it!!!

Apty beat me to it... I was right on it and then moved away

Good hiding spot [^]

The baggie and the container had been left partially open, so the contents are soggy. The bag is enormous for the container size (that explains it), so Apty replaced the baggie.

Boing boing boing. 3 springy heads.
Lots of traffic going hither and tither ( mostly tither).
Sunday of a long weekend.
Replaced the baggy with a smaller one so the lid closes better.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Rode the mountain bikes from Woodside to Mt Torrens with the geowife picking up caches along the way. Found this one and signed log.

We thought we might not have time to get this cache before our departure north tomorrow but happily today was not booked up and we enjoyed the country trails. Thanks to SOSKAR for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

No quick easy find for us here today. No find at all in fact!

We had a good look around, and expanded our search to other trees, but came up empty handed. We couldn't work out how to apply the hint, so we're either missing something or it's a really well camouflaged cache.

Quick and easy find during a morning in the hills.
Nice spot for a bite to eat.
TFTC.

Found it with CherryRose. Easy find. TFTC TNLNSL. Love the way we can pull off the road.

Found out with BearyOrganised on a cool Autumn afternoon. TFTC TNLNSL

Today I was on a big caching adventure with my friend Gral4, caching between Balhannah to Mannum. By the end of the day I had 103 and only 1 , a great day!

Another find in this enjoyable series.

TFTC SOSKAR!

Our first of four series today, enjoyed travelling the back roads of the area. Disappointed we couldn't complete the series coz we had our only DNF for the day on the final cache of this series. Have to come back some time later to complete.

TFTC and the hunt!

Mr Tardis was off for a nice country drive in the cold wintery weather to find Spring Head. I can honestly say I've never been to Spring Head before, but after finishing this series of caches I can now say I've been to Spring Head. Most of the micro caches in this series have very full log sheets and will need new ones.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache SOSKAR.

This was the second to last cache left to do in the series, and of the night. TFTC!

Another one!

Intended to do this series backwards today, but things got a bit mixed up and we had to back track on a couple of them [:o)].
Nice and quiet when we visited here this morning [^]. TNLNSL.
Thanks for one more SOSKAR.

Found while out and about with Hurtle SL TFTC

Another film cannister and another smiley.

The GPS was still mucking around a bit due to the weather and probably also the tree cover, but a find and sign were completed quickly. We'll be back to finish this series when the weather improves. TFTC

Found It!
Quick find on yet another film canister...
TFTC

Another cache, another film canister. TFTC!

A quick and easy drive by. The scenery here at the moment is just beautiful - very lush and green and with a warm breeze blowing today it was just lovely. Took the pet rock from this cache for the geodaughter - reminded my of my pet rock I had when I was a kid. Left a butterfly in tis place. TFTC

Owl and Brisal5 were heading back to Owl’s car, but this close to the last of the series, how could she resist? A clever little hide was her reward.

Found on a nice sunny day for Father's Day and the first day of spring

Beautiful day for a ride in the hills [^]
This was a quick stop to get the daily find
Cheers & TFTC

Lewis Road was an interesting drive. Thanks for the cache SOSKAR.

Day 22 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Pulled over to the side of the road and almost got bogged so drove a little bit further Walked back through the mud and almost slipped over. Got to GZ and did a full lap before finding the little critter. Thanks SOSKAR this series is keeping my streak going.

Enjoyed the tour of the Hills backtracks, and the search. Thanks for the cache SOSKAR!

Was out with the High Range 4WD Club driving the Marne River from its source to exit at the Murray, of course grabbing caches along the way.

Tonight, I cachenapped 3LG!!
What was to be an early night for me became...... Yup, an early morning!

We didn't take too long here to claim another joint FTF with Utta

TNLN. SL. TFTC SOSKAR

What better than getting a 2nd FTF for the night with Locus Cache, now we go to get the 3rd one : )

I went left and 3LG and crew went straight on. I FTF one they the other. So second place for me on this one. Having way too much fun.

This one had me scratching my head for a bit as I didn't quite have the right angle.
I did, however stumble across some barbed wire so watch your footing near GZ.
Nice spot and some iconic letterboxes nearby.
Cheers SOSKAR
