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.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache ""

I'm following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log which is now well over 60 days old.
There has been no action by the CO, who doesn't appear to be particularly active.
The cache appears to have been abandoned and should be archived.

Regards

Ian & Penny

No find for us here today

As no one has found this one for over 12 months, I didn't look very hard.

Please replace it definatly not there

Not there anymore- please replace

Hi there Squick.

This is the 11th of 11 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 12:46:00 PM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us - to add to the mounting tally.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Hi there Squick,

RE: Your cache **"Gnoo Blas #3"**

Could you please do a maintenance run to repair the cache, or perhaps archive it, as it appears to be missing.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Could not find. Possibly mugged.

Couldn't find, probably been mugged ...

It's beginning to get wearisome, so many of the caches in this series apparently not there. Another DNF for us to add to others before us at this spot,

Gave it a good go but didn't locate this one.

I had mixed success around this circuit today, but still enjoyed the experience and the exercise!

Couldn't find anything on or near GZ

Log is full and needs replacement

Found it!!!

Bathurst to Orange
We have set up camp at the showground overnight. We completed the lake walk in the morning then onto the Gnoo Blast in the afternoon, finishing with a tiki tour of the country side before heading home.
Thanks for placing this cache Squick

TFTC log book full

TFTC log book was full was unable to write name

Found and logged tftc

After much feeling around and climbing up and down due to traffic it was found. Hartygan braved the cobwebs for me. Great one

Found it after a bit of search.

11203. Headed up to the Orange region with AngelG27, Sol de Lune and specimenX ("FASS") for a fun-filled weekend of caching. Lots of caches found, a few not found, and a lot of laughs had as we toured around over 2 full days as far north as Wellington which resulted in 124 finds for me.

An early start and after a quick stop for brekkie we arrived at the GB loop to get some big-ish numbers early on today. Interesting bit of motoring history around here. Quick find at GZ which is always good on a caching run like today. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again Squick !! Enjoying this little series !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Found as part of an Orange and surrounds geomission with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & Sol de Lune (signed as FASS to save time & space ) Top weather, great company and lots of laughs meant for an epic weekend of caching all round!

Fitzy was onto this one for the find and sign

Thanks for the hide, Squick

DNF

Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX, Sol de Lune and I (logged as "FASS") headed from Canberra to Orange and surrounds for a caching blitz over the 30-31 July weekend. We logged around 1000kms in the Geo-Jeep, selecting those caches that Fitzy had not previously found. I scored around 130 caches for the trip. The visit was characterised by blue skies, very green paddocks, lots of water off and on the road, a fair amount of mud, and good company! Still plenty of caches to collect and scenic spots to explore on a return trip. Thanks to my fellow travellers for a fun weekend, and the COs for all their efforts in putting out and maintaining the caches.

6th for the day at 0805 (11th for the trip). A chilly start to the day - Fitzy and I walked the first few caches to get some blood moving. I was searching methodically for this one in line with the hint, but Fitzy reached over me to find it in the first place that "called" to him. The log is full and needs replacing. Thanks Squick for this nice series!

Nice quick find. Log full. TFTC

A lovely sunny afternoon with a reasonable temperature for a winter day in Orange, so what better way to spend it than to do this circuit on foot. Thanks Squick.

Nice quick & easy find while taking a break in Orange on my trip from Sydney to Mumbil. I really wanted to complete this power trail which I'd discovered while doing some GC research before heading off in this trip. Great series - loved it! TFTC

Orange trip April 2016. The day started off wet and stayed wet, but I had a mission. On my way back to town I picked up two caches then waited for a break in the weather. When it had dried enough to get the bike out I started my lap of the circuit. 19/20 found one wet and un loggable. It was great to learn about this old facility.

Thanks.

Found it . TFTH. SL. Freaky spiders

Ask me if you want to know what name I **signed the log book** transferring finds to this new caching name. Was OCW and as part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch. TFTC.

I found this cache jointly with TOC and now I have my own account I am claiming my fair share of the finds. I can cache on my own now. As I didn't have a caching name so there's no log book for me. Thank you for the hide.

Found it

Found it

This was an interesting series to look for. Most were found but a few we let go when it was raining too much.
This cache was an easy find and after the log was duly signed the cache was replaced where it had been found. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing a nice series around here.

My third day off an Easter camp caching holiday at Carcoar dam. Today I had gone towards Orange for a couple of power trails and the various caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache.

Got cha!

This one hides well. TFTC

On our way to orange with mgrocks & julucu

Came up from Vic to try to locate some caches and some warmer weather !!!! Thanks squick for this cache. Makes getting over a lot easier.

There was no one playing golf here today to hinder our find. Thanks Squick.

Visiting Orange for the weekend and a day after the big snow fall, its was still a bit chilly but bearable even though somewhat damp in places. I had some time in the morning so decided to have a go a the Gnoo series, which was pretty good, a few caches missing or needed maint. but on the whole good.

TFTC trying to get as many in this series before i freeze.

Quickly found. Tftc

Oh, the red dirt and workmen around!

6581 Caches Found

After having a really slack month only found two so far this month, Decided a little road trip was in order to rectify the situation. So rumbled down te thin black line early morning heading down to the Big Smoke and then West to Lithgow, Mudgee, Gulgong, Wellington, Orange then Bathurst heading home. Nice Cache, Thanks for the Adventure

Thanks for the great cache Squick(8D)

First DNF for the weekend.
Had a good look, didn't climb over the ladder it was getting dark.

Enjoy Gnoo Blas series runs before heading to east.
Thanks for the great trail and caches.

Thanks for the placement, another one found on this interesting and historical circuit.

In Orange for a couple of days with my wife, and while she was out doing her thing, I hit this trail. Only took 90 minutes to get around the loop, but did DNF numbers 1 and 9...with number 18 in behind the construction site fence, so no go there.

Enjoyed the ride, the caches and the history lseeon. Thanks Squick...a good fun series that I hope is around for a while. Fav point added.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found it. TFTC.

Good spot. TFTC

Performed maintenance on the whole series today. Replaced all micro logs, checked others and replaced caches no. 20 and no. 2 which had been muggled. Happy caching!

The second last day of our Christmas/New Year camping trip saw us heading from Wanda Wandong camping area in Goobang National Park via Yeoval, Cumnock and Molong down to Orange.

A power trail in the heat, why not. Found all of them except no 2 and 20

#2135 thanks again.

#3,161

I took a few photos of the stile while bikebuddy was signing the log, to share with my work colleagues.

We wondered about the reasons for putting such a nice access point over the fence, when the fence itself is topped with barbed wire.

Thanks

We thought that it was strange that the gold club had erected a barbed wire fence, and then sat a stile over it which effectively circumvented that security measure. There you go. We went to the obvious spot and found the cache easily. Thanks

Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice easy find after clearly away the cobwebs. TFTC

Thanks for the great trail Squick. Good fun and great caches, and we grabbed them all bar #13 ona pit stop between Broken Hill and Canberra. Thanks very much

Found it.

Gotcha Tftc

Tftc

Tftc just a few more to go on this chilly sat lol

Quick find, dodged the barbed wire! Tftc

If you are going to get some exercise it is better to have some motivation and a series of caches like this one certainly fits the bill. We drove a bit and walked a lot to complete a thoroughly enjoyable day out in this great autumn weather. Thanks Squick.

Found with SushiKitten

3 Down. TfTC.

Great! TFTC

Good spot

Great hide, I just had to climb over and back just for the fun of it. Nearly got muggled by a golfer who cheated by taking his golf ball out of bunker and putting it on the grass. He was playing by himself ,probably been caught cheating before and nobody will play with him now. TFTC

watched some ladies hole their putts while pretending to rest and have a drink of water, then found and signed the log. tftc

Well the race was on, ok so really not a hot lap but slower curise in the country side. Once I under stood the hiders method it became a little easier to do (not really using a GPS only had the in car nuvi so only got to within about 10-20 meters before the fun started. (Lucky for me my guide was able point me in the right direction). A great run round the track was had with little or few trouble with cache or muggles. Thanks for such a great trail.
JABs.

Maintenance run today ........ Replaced log.

A quick find, nice looking golf course, thanks.

After disappointment at #2, this was a rapid find which put me back on track. Thanks Squick.

Good hide and the last one for the afternoon. TFTC.
