What Stump? Taree, New South Wales, Australia
By Josh_Brady on 23-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4H8YR

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.

It's gone and the CO doesn't seem to want to do any maintenance.

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.

Not there

Couldn't find this one. Nearly slipped into the river.

It's gone and the CO doesn't seem to want to do any maintenance.

Dnf

DNF searched high and low to no avail

Dunno

It was a simple hide - sounds like it has been muggled and needs to be checked out.

Searched but couldn't find, maybe under all the leaves

Did not find. Was short of time . Where you would suspect it to be there was nothing. Either gone or a very good hide.

It's a great tree and ancient stump but could not find a geocache there today.

Great one to find

Sadly searched throughout stumps bark leaves with no luck. Maybe another day

Searched and searched but nothing.

TFTC, good spot, easy find.

Thank you for placing this cache. Found on the mid north coast camping weekend. Sl Sorry for generic type logs. no offense but we had to log 4 days worth when we arrived home. We really do appreciate you time and effort in placing this and other caches.

Sick find hayden and dave
Two little kids watching pretended too pee too be discrete

This was found in the open, but we cleaned it up and put it in the log near by. TFTC

Found this one on a lunch break on a wet day! Took a bit of digging but I uncovered it. Have replaced cache but not buried in dirt-covered with bark and leaves.

Tricky to find under bark and leaves. Left blue dog. TFTC

Moved the Lizard Guardian on and believed we were at the correct spot.
Just read a previous log and wonder if it is buried? Sorry, I don't dig, it is against the rules.

Dig a little ,found by my wife.

Found with mum and dad (Gazkersh and littlemissleft)
Have my own account now
Log signed as Tilly
Thanks

Found today with littlemissleft and Tilly

Tftc

Found this one today with Gazkersh and Tilly. We spotted where we thought it was as soon as we pulled up, but then still managed to traipse around all over the place before going back and grabbing it. Be very aware of the people who live nearby as they seemed to be watching us very intently as we left :O Little Miss took a star badge and left a jet plane toy, signed log. TFTC Josh_Brady

didn't find it. but find lizard guard

Bloody stumps, they are everywhere, lol... TFTC

It's defiantly not the stup/bird nest in the tree!

TFTC! Thanks for the nice walk to the river

Team Nurse Thanks You for the Cache:

TFTC

After following a secret path which took me the wrong way, I found it in a more obvious spot. Tftc!

Camped at the showgrounds in Taree, and ventured out to pick up a few caches.
Cache was found after a short search, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Josh_Brady, for us and others to find.

We eventually found the right stump.

Ez game ez life

What stump is right. There didn't appear to be any but on closer inspection there were a hoard of them in one form or another. Good co-ordinates meant a quick find with a conveniently placed 'seat' nearby TFTC Josh Brady.

Today Orrsome86 and I set off to find a few challenge caches, while qualifying for a few others. The weather reports said there was a 90% chance of rain with 20-40mm expected. We set off anyway and it turned out to be a near perfect day for caching; Overcast with scattered light showers, we never had to put our raincoats on and were never too hot (well almost). I had formed a list of 35 unique difficulty and terrain combinations. We found 28 of them. Nearly all our successful finds were quick, but our DNFs always took longer. We left Edgeworth just before 6am and were back a little after 8pm.
This was our nineteenth find on our big day; out and around the Taree area. Originally we were going to find this rating at Gloucester, but after a DNF was logged we changed to this one. We were glad for a quick find after just DNFing GC457QD The Rocks and the Water. We pulled up, went "what stump?" then spotted it half uncovered. Covered it up a bit better before moving on. The hardest part was negotiating around the garbage truck doing his rounds.
Thanks for the ultra quick find!

Two men and a ladder set off early on Australia day to find 25 caches to satisfy The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge. The ladder on the roof of the car was the noisiest of the bunch as the wind whistled through it every time we went above 80km/h. I must amid TOMBI did all of the pre-trip preparations by identifying caches that fulfilled the criteria and ensuring there were backups were we not able to find some of them. We headed towards Gloucester then over to Taree then finally back towards Newcastle. A good day was had by all with only a few caches eluding us. I managed 26 unique Difficulty/Terrain caches whilst TOMBI managed 28 as he had already qualified for another challenge and I had found one previously that he hadn't.
Waited for the garbage truck to leave. Then hoped out and found quickly in the logical location. TFTC

TFTC very cool

Easy find, watch out for the lizard guardian.

Quick easy find.

Found with 'the neighbs'. TFTC

Found with sesblocker. Reasonably quick find. We were surprised by the amount of mosquitoes here in the middle of the day. Happy New Year!! TFTC

Nice easy find while out on a morning walk with Billy the dog.

Quick find. TFTC

A quick and easy find. Tftc.

Easy one to start the day

Quick & easy, thanks

My first cache in years so I enjoyed the nice easy find. TFTC

No spiders to ambush!

An easy find as the cache was exposed. I tried to cover it up a bit better this time.

Tftc

Nice easy find tftc

Nice easy find. TFTC

TFTC Good spot

Loved it, nice and easy!!!

Found during a morning MTB mounted assault on a few Chatham and Cundletown caches. In fact the name of the cache sums up exactly what I was thinking as we rode towards GZ. But there it was and the cache was soon located. Many thanks Josh Brady

Our 8146th overall find.

I pulled up nearby and made a simple find. I'm glad the terrain level wasn't higher...

Thanks Josh_Brady for the cache.

Before heading off again I thought I had better get another 'local' cache, and I think I will have cleared out to 5 km now from home. Bargain. I guess it is a lot easier to do it here in Taree than in Sydney suburbs. TNLNSL, TFTC Josh Brady

So we were doing running trials nearby for getting the track and field honour for pathfinders, and I decided to go for a walk over here while we were waiting for more to turn up. Thanks for the cache here, never been up here before.

I was able to make a quick find today after disturbing 2 sun baking water dragons TNLN thanks.

Oh that stump !!
Or what used to be a stump

An easy drive-by find.

I thought I was going to catch up with Di-Morgan this morning, but it seems they are caching in the future [:o]
All their cache scribbles were dated the 17th

An overnight at Taree Showgrounds so just a couple more caches before we arrive home after our 10mth trip around Aussie.
This was a nice quick find, but it was a moment To say there's the stump.
Thanks Josh Brady

Found on caching day in local area on way back up north.

TFTC

Found with owl@25
Easy find

Good easy find.
With Symone007, little treasure hunter and Aunty Kelly.

TFTC!

Next time I'll follow the coordinate instead of searching at the obvious spot, not much left of this.......stump? TFTC.

Today was our second day caching in the mid north coast area. We were blessed with clear sky's today again. We always enjoy travelling up here from the hunter valley

1:45:00 PM, GAFF1, A nice quick find near the river.
SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC Josh_Brady

Found on a night run on Day 2 of the road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane with nanton34. Initially the gps took us to a nice view river-side, then after adjusting it took us to the right place. tftc

On a roadtrip from Melbourne to Brisbane with eighthknox After missing the mark and finding a nice little jetty on the river we pulled out the GPS and soon had GZ located TFTC

Well I hate to say I may have been spotted by the lady in the house across from GZ.
I tried to hide and complete the paperwork however while returning the concelement I know I was spotted.
Anyway we will see what happens.

A quick find after first walking down the slightly overgrown path and checking out the water. Thanks.

Found while down this way for work. It was uncovered, so rehid with some leaf litter.
Cheers

Found at 12:34 PM GAFF1 in the company of Browngang. Interesting situation here. Cache was found totally uncovered ready to be muggled. didn't notice the stump at first - as you say "What stump"
Covered it up and hid it a bit better.
Thanks Josh_Brady.

Nice job! Found after school, good stuff

2300 GAFF1 I was going to get this one a couple of nights ago while I was On Call, and unable to go out as far as the next closest couple (~30km), but as it turned out I didn't need to be On Call Monday night, so tonight was next time I needed to get a close one to keep the August and personal Streaks going.
Had 'kind of cheated' as I had been by and closed the lid and covered it a bit better earlier in the month, just to be sure I could grab it even if I had been called in for an emergency
All good with the cache, no muggles.
This will be another for the Night Caching thesis book mark.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, Beagle Bixby, B 2 B ingot, Homer J TB, Iconic Bridges, Just Monkeying Around Oz, Little Moo, PAP, Play Well, Trackabulldog, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, and trackable shirt.
TFTC Josh Brady - these are certainly helping when I'm not able to get out so far!

A quick find to keep the streak going, 8 not much of a streak but probs a PB for me
Thanks for the hunt JB

Nice cache! Easy find thanks Josh!
