Chickens Simply Can't Climb Trees Florey, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

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.

With no finds in over a year it would appear the cache is gone.

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 page and post a 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.

Went down for a look and there is not sign of the cache either up or down

Guess where I am?

No sign

Second try and still dnf

Can I say did not attempt! - With lots of recent DNF I looked for from ground level but did not climb.

I was hoping to get a smilie on this one since it's the only one now in the area without one. I've put looking for it off until I could try in daylight. So now at 4:30pm no cache to be seen anywhere in the tree or nearby on ground. Lots of plastic bags though and other rubbish. Definitely needs maintenance or archival.

Was all over the place but didn't find anything?

Found cache. Unfortunatly empty.

Found cache. No log inside however.

Water, weevils but no log in cache, counting it though Guess I misread fixing as fixed.

Fixing it today
Apologies for the inconvinience

Found a small snap lock bag at site with paper and ink in to, could have been the cache, too damaged to tell

Climb was within my declining limitations these days. Log not signed due problems raised in previous logs. TFTC Crazy Chicken Man!

Weevil infestation indeed. Geo kids freaked, as the log was nothing more than a weevil nest. Personally, I found the weevil babies and eggs adorable. Def needs maintenance. Great idea though, kids enjoyed the climb, but refused the return journey.

#498. 114 days in a row.

I'm counting this as a find, although I didn't sign the log sheet since it was absolutely soaked. Cache container was also full of weevils (or similar) so should probably be replaced.

Much easier in the day time
Added a small gift for next finder.

Favorite cache yet, had a sore wrist didn't help by climbing the tree

Found @ 2:29pm

Thanks for the nice little climb Crazy Chicken Man!, the cache was soon in hand, signed and replaced.

2nd tree club cache of the afternoon. No chickens here! But cache was full of water. Replaced cache upside down as the lid has a slot on it - perfect for letting in rain water! Found with HH3k and geo daughter! TFTC

Found with big sis and GeoMum. I did the climb for this one! TFTC

not wanting to be a "chicken", i soon had this in hand.

Thanks CCM

Spent a relaxing day out with Mr Roo doing some caches.

Water logged, but fun climbing for the kids

Thanks @FurnacesLL and @Schenobi

Cheers FurnacesLL. Added waterproofing. Nice spot

Decided to attempt this today and noticed the previous logs against it saying that the log was saturated so we took a fresh piece of paper with us to replace the log. Quick find and log replaced.
TFTC

Another one claimed by moisture :'(

See previous log. The log is pretty much ruined.

Keeping the streak alive I decided to knock this one down. Found the tree no worries, looked around for muggles before climbing up, spotted one up near where I came in, figured I would have enough time to get up there and come down with the cache - which I successfully did, looked back to where the muggle was and no sign of them...mmm oh well back up the tree I go.

The log is pretty much ruined/soaked so although I did sign the log, it's pretty much nonexistent.
TFTC

Thanks

Chickens can't, but I can
Ta.

ps. the log is soaked, soggy, sozzled ...

Found on a nice morning around Belconnen. Tree climbs aren't my forte, however this was perfect for us - thank you! Parked nearby and after a lovely walk to GZ, it only took a minute or two to find the cache. A simple climb up the tree, luckily the branches were there. I managed to spot the cache at a suitable height. A great cache to do. TFTC CCM!

The dog was clean and I had some time for a change so I was looking for a nice easy walk in the suburbs so a lap of Scullin fitted the bill. Elvis didn't think much about climbing the tree so instead he just waited at the base dutifully wagging his tail whilst this Bat made the climb. Bats, it turns out, CAN climb trees, even if chickens and dogs cannot.

Was sure we had got this one before but no smiley. Quick find after a school pick up. Tftc

7654 + 961 = 8615. Found during a quick run around in the area.

Not being a real fan of 'tree' caches I was hoping that this one was as easy as it said. I am happy to report that it is an easy climb even for me. The funny part was sitting up there signing the log when a muggle walking two dogs walked past and stopped virtually under THAT tree. Luckily none of them looked up ! They moved on and very quickly after that so did I.

Thanks Crazy Chicken Man !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found this a while back while walking the dog but didn't have a pen handy to sign the log. Finally got a chance to make it back today. TFTC

517 Found with Plofessor. I'm in need of some practice, so I made the climb. Not too challenging but I still bumped my head at one point. Tks again Crazy Chicken Man!

One of several caches found today. TFTC.

One of several caches found today. A quick scramble and the cache was in hand. TFTC.

After a pleasant stroll found this with

tripperOutThere.

#1340 - 15:30; The second Crazy Chicken Man! cache of the afternoon. Unfortunately, this time I had to do the climbing rather than having it made easy for me. Made my way to GZ and identified a target and after a short climb, soon had cache in hand. It was an interesting roost from which to sign the log and return the cache to its hide. TFTC Crazy Chicken Man!

Replaced and improved container today. Still in same place though

Beware some branches may snap easily. I discovered that the hard way
I went to go check on it and a large branch snapped so it may be harder to get too
Please be careful!

Quick find and good spot but fell out of the tree about 50 times (really)
TFTC

took allot of effort but finally found it

This cache has I think been muggled. I found the log on the ground in the open. I signed the log and looked for the container (high and low) but could see none. I stuck the log in a crack in the tree. Visible, but not so clearly as it was on the ground.

Found it muggled as stated below. Replaced container with a black tubular one which is much harder to find and slightly higher in tree. Also updated description. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A cool cache in an awesome area. Had fun climbing around GZ even though it may hve been to windy TFTC

A really fun cache! Ausy and I spent the next while tree climbing.
TFTC.

The Gaggins strike ! Lot's of muggles but I think we evaded them.

2707. After one dog walking muggle went that way and another went the other way, it was a quick climb,sign and then back on terra firma. Thanks Ccm for an easy climb and the cache.

No, they can't.......but I'm getting better at it, so the cache was soon in hand. Didn't drop anything on this climb either.......which helped.

Thanks for the cache.....

I found this on 16/10 ...
A few days earlier I had been looking something up (or just getting lost on the website - lol) and I noticed that this cache had appeared in a place I often ride my bike past, so I added it to my "list" (put the coordinates in the compass/GPS app on my phone
A few days later, I rode my bike to work (actually it was ride to work day, but I think I would have ridden my bike to work that day anyway - lol) ... and I decided to come home the quick way (I used to ride to and from work that way, until I discovered another way that seemed like an easier ride, and had the added bonus of taking me along part of the lake shore ... But the problem with riding home that way is that I can get distracted for hours, riding the long way around the lake and/or taking photos of clouds/Sunset/birds/etc
Anyway ... I was whizzing along the path when I remembered that this cache was nearby ... did a short back track (I had only gone about 100m past it when I thought of it - lol) and had some fun climbing the tree. I knew it was the right one before I climbed - the cache was visible from the ground (but probably not really noticeable - Muggles don't seem to walk under trees and look up
TFTC - climbing trees is fun (not sure what any Muggles might have thought about a 50 year old woman climbing up the tree though - so I kind of dashed up and down in between the passing dog walkers - lol)
Couldn't decide which thingy to swap (there are only a few types of things I will collect, but this cache had 3 such things! ... so I took a dinosaur and a bear and the marble and left Lucy and ... Er ... can't remember if it was Charlie Brown or Linus, and a plastic "diamond ring" ... would have put more stuff in but it didn't fit! (If there are no Muggles next time I ride past I might just have to go for another climb and see if there is room to add something else - I have managed to gather up a good collection of odd things to put in caches

Found with Liv81. TFTC

3 of 5 found with Curbo on a lunchtime run...TFTC!

No, but I can, although some muggle women gave me the hairy eyeball, I guess men in their 60s are not supposed to climb trees.

7325. [green]Well I have been known to climb a tree or three in my time so the statement is not 100% correct I guess. Little trouble spotting this cache and less retrieving it. [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache Crazy chicken man and the step. [/blue]

Found with Akito10 & Commando04. C04 did his duty by climbing the tree.

Really liked this one it is not so high that it is scary but high enough that it is fun.

TFTC Crazy chicken man.

Found with GLISS! & Commando04. Commando04 did the climbing for this one. Really enjoyed it.

TFTC Crazy chicken man.

Found with Akito10 & GLISS!. I got to do the climb so would have to rate this cache as one of my favourites.

Ok, so we are close to our 500th cache and also trying to "clean up" the West Belconnen ones close to home on the map. L had put this one off as it involved climbing. But R's friend Geckohugger was visiting and offered to assist. So L drove, spotted and sent the geoteens up the tree. They are so much more agile. Log signed by both of us. TFTC.

After reading recent logs I went to check on it and also found it on the ground, put it back in original position where it shouldn't fall out to easily. Might replace container later. Sorry for the inconvinience

Easy climb for Biking Olly he of Kid Stuff fame TFTC

Loving an easy climb tftc

Sent sensei yoda up the tree for a quick grab.

Unfortunately didn't get to test my tree climbing skills as Red_V note below. TFTC anyway.

I can climb though! Found with my sister and dad.

Looks like the wind dislodged the cache from its hiding spot as it was found on the ground. We signed the log and placed it back up in the tree, hopefully in the correct spot. TFTC.

My brother did the tree climbing for this one but easily spotted from the ground.

3rd find for the day. TFTC nice hide

#371

2nd of 2 caches for today
TFTC!

After climbing the wrong tree I had a closer look at the live logs. Thanks to the SCs there were some new numbers so off I go. Much clearer here and the cache was soon in hand and signed. Thanks.

I rode the bike to gz and thought ok where is it? I had to use the previous log to get to the right tree. Once there I couldnt see the cache so just went up and then spotted it. A nice easy climb. Kangaroos cant climb trees either. Well this one doesnt TFTC

It was easy to find and a good spot. I hope that it isn't found by muggles seeing as the tree is popular to climb. A great hiding spot.

After climbing up the WRONG TREE - I read the logs! 45m out hey! Dang. Thanks Stormcatchers.
Now CCM - more quality control next time please!

Published

*FTF*@22:44 after a bit of a search coordinates were approx 45 meters out. Added coords to our log ...will add more later....

We were just sitting at home when this one popped and we decided it was worth a visit and we always love a good tree climb, though Mr Stormcatcher would have to sit this one out due to recent knee malfunction . We made the short walk\hobble to GZ in the dark and there were trees just not the right tree ...still we hunted around and hopefully we just sounded like a couple of crazy possums. After a good search we "branched" out and went for a walk to scout out other potential trees and with a bit of luck Miss Stormcatcher spotted a likely candidate and sure enough there was the cache ! . A blank log greeted Miss Stormcatcher up the tree . Thanks Crazy chicken man for the llittle night adventure and of course the cache.
