Hi earthly65,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Pretty sure I found the spot but nothing there

Lost count of my DNFs here ?????

Found the right tree, found a cache type hole that matches the hint but no container. This hole seems to go a long way down the tree now.

Leider sind wir hier nicht fündig geworden, vielleicht hat das Wasser den Cache kaputt gemacht....

Yes

Didn’t want to walk on the path as it seemed someone homeless lived there probably

Found whilst trying to get to the October summit

Tftc!

Cache too far into the tree to get

Grafton to SWR for 2 nights
Our last stop before heading home to Port Macquarie. While here we managed to catch up with bobbiesgirl & Fergs at SWR & then coongoola at Stuarts Point this is one of the best parts of caching is meeting up with caching friends.
Thankyou earthly65 for placing this cache.

Last half day in Woolgoolga. A few caches and a couple of AdLabs to keep me going, until the camper is ready, and I head south once more.
Tried coming from the other direction - not a good idea.
So I did this one after the entrance caches and found the track I should be on.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found 22/11/2020 with JessYoung96.

Easy find and got it straight away as soon as we got to GZ.

TFTC.

Found with TheProdigalGoat on the 22/11/20
Easy find and didn’t take long after we arrived at GZ

Cache replaced today in time for indigoblue1's visit

Found with Earthly65
Another gorgeous location in beautiful Woolgoolga.

Missed-ya - Looked and looked but could not locate.

Beautiful spot but no luck finding it today

Awesome search, tricky

A micro in thw bush with no hint...hm getting to GZ from a dirt road of the road is easy. Path is overgrown and seems disused. Gave it 10 at GZ but couldn't it. Area might have changed a lot since it was placed. Might need checking.

Path quite overgrown but finally got close to GZ. Bush bashing needed to get right on it but it became a bit needle in a haystack for us today.

DNF for me today. Had a good look, lots of bits of a dead stump, you beat me today...
Cheers

We stopped to do this cache & found the path leading from the caravan park is blocked off.
Maybe there is another way to get to GZ but we didn't try. Left for another visit in the area.

TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Enjoy the trails around Hearns and Woolgoolga lakes so on this mornings ride thought I’d have my second go at this one
a voila , there it was. Nice one!

Patience pays! The ants not impressed! TFTC

I tried to find this cache last year and failed
Today I went for a stroll by the lake again,
not expecting to find this one [:o]

Yet this time around,
the cache was found in less than a minute
Why does that happen ??

The placement of this cache in the obvious place works so well,
that I'm not surprised I didn't see it last visit

TFTC at last.

No luck today

I parked on the laneway close to GZ.
Which seemed to have been a good idea as I arrived at GZ
Ye olde foot bridge providing access across the creek was more of wade than a walk

Alas !!
No amount of looking could find me the cache today

We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
Thanks

Took while but finally got the little sucker. It was very quiet here last Sat so had time to really search. Good hide. Thanks.

Nice easy walk in an area not far from freeway. Super hide!

In the Coffs district to find as many caches as we can before we head home after the Alice Mega.
We may sign small log sheets as CG.

Had to resort to a PAF for guidance. I remember finding one here a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the cache earthly65 and Robbieracer66.

TFTC, tough find, you have to be looking from the right angle.

No luck today!

Having nice day out geocaching with Wandering Me and her geofamily. Nict.
Sorry earthly65 and Robbieracer66

Great hide and a lovely spot. Took a bit of searching, had to broaden the search area, but found it! TFTC

Took two goes but finally found it, tricky little hide. Thanks!

Found with coinman Dyl. Log was really wet so put a dry one in the cache. Thanks for a great hide

The steps are under water so I took the long way around. Looked in the obvious and not-so-obvious spots and failed to locate the cache. Maybe next time I visit Woopi.

TFTC Took the gps a little while to settle under the tree coverage and even then it was still a little out, taking me closer to the water than needed. When I found the log it was a little damp so I took it back to the car to dry, a min or two later the log was back in place.

Found with a hint from the CO. Log is wet and starting to fall apart.

Tricky

Spent ages looking in all the wrong places! Found eventually after widening the search area and reading earlier posts for hints. TFTC.

My twelfth cache, found with Grub Fred, TFTC earthly65!

Had to widen our search to find it. Lots of ants guarding this one. TFTC

Very sneaky...

To wet to sign, but found it.

Looked for this last visit without success but this time....Yippee!! Clever hide. TFTC

Tftc took us awhile to find. Found with panda cows

Second go at finding this cache. Very pretty spot enjoyed going back

Late log turns out I found it before this date
Thanks for the great find
Found with Brad1987 & summerr123

Log is wet. After our success down near the river mouth we headed up to its sister hide. A short walk in and as the GPSr settled we followed a little geo trail and then soon spotted the hide for a quick find. We extracted the log and then completed the signing duties before re hiding. TFTC

After trying the Entrance one without success, I followed what looked like an overgrown trail towards this. That petered out and I was by the water with my thongs getting stuck in the mud. I bush bashed back to the road and walked along to find the car track leading in where someone was unloading a boat, and then the good foot track back towards the caravan park. Once at GZ it took a bit of hunting around before the cache hide was spotted. Thanks earthly65.

Another DNF was too wet to look for to long will be back

Bit tricky earthly 65 unable to sign log as it was very wet and was on the ground. Replaced where I thought is was meant to be.TFTC earthly 65

YEEEEW cheers Mebclever for the assistance! Siq little one! TFTC!

YEW YEW FOUND ZE LITTLE GEOCACHE! Thanks to our new geofriends for da mad find brahhhhh! TFTC!

Second visit after a push in the right direction by CO and got the beast. Yesterday I was misled by a previous comment that referred to a tree photo and with so much tree cover, GPSr reception was poor, TFTC earthly65!!

Thought cache was muggled, but all was good, TNLNM, SL.

Gotcha !!! Found with Pprass .TFTC

Found at 1:41 PM in the company of Temingi GAFF5. We followed the geotrail that others have made and came up with the same result that they came up with - nothing! We then started to widen our search area - even looking at the other side of the track and still nothing. Then Dave looked into a little nook just off the track and what do you know - a cache in this lovely setting.
Thanks earthly65.

Tricky one, good effort TFTC

Found this one easily while out caching today. Really well made and clever hint that Kirkenny posted. Thanks earthly65

A nice sneaky hide but we did find it. TFTC.

I parked Spangle in an out of the way location and then Jelly the Wonderdog and myself hit the trail. When we reached GZ I saw a nice, little geotrail that took me straight to the tiny beasty. Log signed, I replaced the cache as I had found it.

Thanks for the cache earthly65

Well we looked, looked, looked and looked. Just about to give up and go home when Hubby said " There's the sneaky little Bugger!!!!"Very good hide gets a Fav TFTC

First time to Hearnes Lake. Parked nearby and walked along this little trail. Stopped to look but didn't find it, so went on to look for "Hearnes Lake Entrance" - but didn't find it either. Thought about Flat Top Island but tide was high so gave up on that idea. Another, lengthy search for "Entrance" but without luck. Passed back by this cache and found it immediately - don't know why I didn't spot it the first time.

With a slow start to the day this was the first find for the day.Whewww.TFTC.

Quick find after klr kennys clue was rethought. Thabks earthy and robbieracer for the cache. (For some reason I didnt get this activation email) but its good to let some other caches get the ftf. ☺

Two DNF's in a short time and we were wondering if geocaching had suddenly become much harder or we were losing it. Confidence restored here! TFTC earthly65.

Yay FTF great find

Look at photo for hint

Ftf goes to klr Kenny....Congratulations!
