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.

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.

Same thing, the cache is there but not reacheable

I followed the hand and made the same observation as the previous loggers. If the CO want proof I do have pictures of GZ.

I came past and like many other could see the cache but unfortunately it has fallen down into a crack and is unable to be retireved at this point.

Can the CO please fix this

Today I headed into the city a bit earlier to collect some caches, unfortunately 2 were surrounded by muggles but managed to grab the other 2 that I was yet to find.

Thanks for the cache

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Came back to see if it was in place, but it was not. Logging as others have done. I’ll return to add to the book when it is replaced.

Found it but also can't log in book because it has fallen. This needs maintenance.

Could not lug, has fallen

Found it. Was hard to find, had to use my phone to even see it. At some point it must of fallen down, but good fun.

Found was unable to sign the log have sent the co a picture of the cache as proof.
If someone has something around 150cm you might be able to pick it up. Thanks for bringing us here

Second DNF within a few 100metres here.

Not sure what I did wrong but no joy.

Oh well I will return.

TFTC

No luck here today.

TFTH!

Sorry could not find it. We looked at tower with hands on it but nothing there

I’d been here before and seen where the cache was, but hadn’t been able to retrieve it with many muggles around. Tonight I returned with fluffymaxi to make the find only to find the cache not there. I should have persisted the first time. Hoping it returns so we can make the find.

Found this one quite easy together with SuFe2013 on our tour round Adelaide but couldn’t get it out....
FEWO

The cache has dropped off it's location and is physically unreachable

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Can see but not retrieve

It's fallen down!

Brilliant hide. It took awhile as there were Saturday night muggles everywhere and a concierge dude was not far away. TFTC

Found with Orth 21. Needs new log

Found while out for a stroll before lunch. A unique place in a unique street, perfect for a cache! Great camo, TFTC

A 3 week trip from the USA. Traveling with Lincolnsaunt, Dirkster007 & Detour429.
Our group signed logs as L.A.D.D.
Thanks to all the owners for providing stops for our trip!
Tftc!

Visiting Australia with Lincolnsaunt, ACLCoordinator and Detour429 mostly to see the sights and pick up a few geocaches during our journey. Signed logs as LADD to save space.

Woooo

Here from the USA with ACLcordinator, dirkster007 and lincolnsaunt. 2 more weeks to go and a whole lot more fun to be had. SL-LADD for the group. TFTFun.

Found while exploring Australia for 3 weeks from the USA with my husband ACLCoordinator, Dirkster007 and Detour429. Thanks to everyone who placed the caches we found along our route while we visited your beautiful country!

Cool hide. GPS was a bit off but quick find with the hint. Tried to be stealthy but screeach TFTC

couldn’t find it anywhere.

I have been working in Adelaide for the last few weeks and finally had some free time to go caching around the city. I loved finding this one. I did it under the cover of resting to eat my ice cream which i had just picked up. Lovely hide in the city. Thanks

Didn't have a pen due expecting a micro. But fun cache. Tftc.

Found it.

A nice quick and easy find on my stroll through Adelaide a really great little case simple yet very effective

I logged a DNF on my last visit to Adelaide but no drama this time. 7 for 8 on funds today...

Good geocache, very intuitive

Headed into the city to visit the Central Markets. Terrible weather which restricted our caching efforts today. A very public location but we just made out that we should be there. Replaced log sheet.

Tftc. Found it but when we lifted the cache the paper dropped. Needs a new cache roll

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi
Wow, the landscape has changed dramatically here. First visit was at a lunchtime, where the place was muggle central, full of diners in the local restaurants. Quickly abandoned.
Second visit was at 7am, before most muggles hit the streets. But after today, I am sure the cache was missing as I checked the same places both times.
Today was slightly after lunch, and I was in the area running an errand for B, and the area was almost completely devoid of people. So it was a quick wander up to GZ, a quick survey of the area while surreptitiously looking for muggles. The coast was clear and a quick look and the cache was found. Log signed and another quick look around, and with the coast still clear, replace the cache in its hide. Favourite for this one.
Gratias pro cache entropyharvester

A very quick work trip to Adelaide gave me a chance to grab a couple of caches in the evening.

I circled around GZ a couple of times, waiting out muggles and trying to suss out where it might be. I revisited a spot I had looked at before, but not closely. I had a suspicion tried something and was pleasantly surprised when it worked. Cool! TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. There wasn't a log so we left piece of paper with our names. TFTC

Found with vj187. Very tricky. There was no log so left a piece of paper. TFTC

Nice spot. Don’t sit down to write your log in... “It’s for customers only”

Just like that, thanks to my muggle partner helps me to get it. In a quiet Monday night out. TFTC.

Fat puds is lit and found a chocolate dog in the nugget geocache

On a Monday I do like to have a walk between trains. I’ve been using heat as an excuse lately as well as my Mum being here from the UK .
Today though I decided not to make excuses and decided to walk from the train station to the Showgrounds station.
The plan was to pick up Beauty but I failed miserably. So plan 2 was to attempt this one again. Amazingly found the cache in the first place I looked? Love it when that happens it’s been about 4 years since my dnf do chuffed to have this one off the list.

Found after a bit of confusion, TFTC!

I was headed into the city to attend the lunch time event today and thought I'd take the opportunity to find a few other caches while I was there.

This was a return visit to this one after my DNF back in October last year when the cache was actually missing. It was two return visits actually. The first time I had forgotten about the log by the last finder that indicated there was no logbook and didn't remember until I found the cache. So I returned to my car and grabbed and signed a replacement, placed it in a protective plastic bag and container, and put it back into the main container. Care will need to be taken when retrieving the cache to ensure that the logbook doesn't fall out and get lost, which I suspect is what happened to the last one (you will know what I mean when you find it!).

Nice to convert this one to a smiley. Thanks entropyharvester for the cache.

Very cool one, my first thought was "no, can't" but yes, it was fav for the different kind of cache. Thanks for hiding

Easy find but no log inside to sign. I don't have any paper to spare but I.messaged the CO. Tftc on this busy Friday night in Adelaide. Getting a few last caches in before returning to the US on Monday.

I love it when we find a previous DNF. Quite obvious really don't know why we missed it before
TFTC

Awesome find in the city.

Top cache! A great hide.

After spending ages last time looking
Was here for one min and found it !! Sunday morning was best time

Thank you for the cache and best regards from a swiss visitor.

A clever spot to be sure! Well done with this one always good to find a good urban cache!

Greetings from Melbourne!

After having to log a DNF on this cache before due to muggles we felt that Christmas morning really early would be a good time to have another attempt. Not a problem as the establishment is currently closed for renovations. After waiting for a dog walker to walk on by the cache was a quick grab and sign.
Merry Christmas

Visiting from Germany I‘m spending the day in the city center to have a look around and do a bit of caching.
Thanks to all the owners for hiding the caches.
Marino Rocks

Dank dem hint wurde ich hier schnell fündig. TFTC

After attending an event at Parkside with earthlight, we decided to head back past the city to grab the correct info to a multi that we had stuffed up on. It was noted that we both hadn't found this trad either. Parked a couple streets over and enjoyed the walk here and further (for the multi).
Spotted the likely structure almost immediately and Liz spotted something that looked possibly like it might be but I had said "no, surely not" so we discounted it for a short while. It was a case of 'yep, it was'. Just have to trust those first instincts sometimes
A great location too!

TFTC

A quick find which I spotted straight away.li da (3LG )questioned my idea until we decided yes and went and found log. A clever hide in a high muggle area at times .
A fav point today. TFTC

As per cache owners previous note.

I visited this one with a previous finder today. The cache is gone.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck today

Seems we found the right spot but nothing there

Found the clue quite easily but could not find cache.

4 of us looking and nothing. At an event later in the evening someone confirmed we were looking in the right spot, so, I'm not sure if this is still in place.

Cheeers fellow geo boys

Definately found the location but not the cache as way too busy!!

Thought I was out of luck with the building work but it was safe and available. Very handy TFTC OZGrumpy

Found it, nice and easy

Day 6 of Barnzy and Cravo’s Trip from Perth to Adelaide.

Today we had a slow caching day, with the main focus going to the footy at the Adelaide oval. We got up bright and early to chase a few caches for the Jasmer Grid, Rare icons and High favourite point caches.

Cached mainly within 10km of the CBD as we wanted to keep things close. We had a good run caching with virtually no one on the roads or streets as opposed to Friday night which seemed to have a heap of hustle and bustle.

Thanks to the local COs for their hides.

Day 6 of the Perth to Adelaide trip where we started in Whyalla and ended in Adelaide.

Today was about finding high favourite point caches as well as some other ear marked caches on the list.

During the morning we found the majority of the days caches as we had the footy to go to for the afternoon, this then had us up early to finish the CBD caches we were planning as well as driving the streets,a lot easier to do when it’s quiet when you don’t know the area

Have a Fav point for this cache

entropyharvester I found your cache Alien Hand from Mars thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to find.

Reading the logs in advance I had a good ipmagination where to search. And I found it straight away.

Left a woodcoin

I found this cache a few months ago with my school TFTC

Finally! Can turn this one from blue to yellow, another one off the map, we seem to have bumped into the self appointed cache guardian today who seemed to know the exact location of the cache, was all a bit odd really but in any case can no longer call this one my nemesis. TFTC!

Found itttt )))

Caching with Bunkshyde Thanks for the cache

Thanks entropyharvester for the cache. This is our find number 812 and we found it at 12:12 PM on 23 March 2018.
Very very clever hide. Hint: Read the hint over and over until you understand!

We came into the city for lunch with a local cacher and had a few nearby caches on our list.

We had looked for this one in August but could not locate it. We kept an eye on it and noticed that after several replacements it was being found regularly so it was time to have another look.

While one of us took photos the other performed a quick search and located the cache container in no time. Container and contents were in good condition. This is a very good hide. We hope it remains unmuggled .

Thanks for this neat hide entropyharvester and for your commitment to maintaining it in the face of persistent muggling.

Found on the fourth visit. Found in the first place I looked on the first visit.
I can guarantee that was not there any of the other times.
Interesting to read all the muggle notes in the logbook! Esp the mix from the various names “from upstairs”
A nemesis defeated.

Second find of the day The clues are so helpful, quick and easy spot Very muggle-filled area during the day, but worth the wait to grab. TFTC!

So hidden in plain sight! Absolutely brilliant, very easy but a problem with the muggle infestation that's there at 6pm.

A quick find while in the area. TFTC

I was out exploring the area with VikingNav today grabbing caches along the way as we worked on the virtuals and webcam caches in Adelaide. Thanks for this fun cache!

N-th time lucky with this one, and easy find to boot. Can't recall how many times we went past this cache and tried our hand at locating it, only to fail for various reasons (mostly because the cache happened to be muggled at the time). No such issues here today, happy to have this one off our list TNLNSL TFTC

Found with the sis xx aka avalozt87

Found it with the sis aka newadz01. It was actually there this time! Yay

Yes easy

Thank you for the cache! Easy find

LIGHT work

After finding the Virtual nearby, this was right next to where I was. I saw the possible access point and accessed this to access the cache. Tftc
