#13 Are you Stumped? Attwood, Victoria, Australia
By Team Campion on 20-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DBBD

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact me by email (including GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, I will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days, you will need to create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (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 so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Looked for a while and no cache in hand. Think the owner may need to come and have a look

Yes I was stumped. Time for a team visit.

Had search around the area, but couldn't find the evidence the previous logs talk about. I suspect the cache needs total replacement.

Found a pencil in a nook and cranny but no container or logbook. Possibly muggles. Didn't see any other tree stumps nearby

Found a few traces of a cache. But no box, just a pen in the stump and a bit of plastic

Yay

Again, working in the area. And once again, more caches up for grabs. Nice and easy to find after a short walk.

Cheers, Team Campion.

After having a swim at the new Breadmeadows Lap Pool decided to try my luck and yes the tree must have been massive and provided much firewood. TFTC

What decent size tree this must've been! T4TC

Stopping at the motel on the way home to perth after the lake eildon geetour. A few prior logs helped especially the slope hint what a stump!!!!!!!! Loved the cache.

Did Some Maintenance Today In The Afternoon: Replaced Geocache And Hid More "Thoroughly"


Enjoy This Cache And The Surrounding Area


-Team Campion

As I was parking the car near the cache site I saw someone else poking around what I assumed to be GZ. I haven't met a cacher in the field before but I recognised the characteristic crouch and peer motions from 100 metres away. After introducing myself we both spent time searching together along with the support crew waiting on the road above. We both thoroughly checked every nook and cranny of the stump but came away empty handed.

Ahhh, seems to have gone missing. So sad

We wanted to go to Woodlands and see if we could find a few caches but realized it was closing soon.
Tried to find this on the way.

We found the stump mentioned in the hint but could not find the cache.

Thanks for another hide Team Campion

Dropped friend at airport and thought on way home would pick up a couple of caches. This one didn't have me stumped but there was many little places if could have been looked in all the spots and some had cache in hand. Very hot day to be caching but thatnks for placing this

Think some one else is using the same hiding place for their treasures! Came across what I thought was the cache but turned out to be some other stuff....all safe so don't worry....looked a bit further and found the proper cache. Signed the log and returned everything to their respective places just as the rain drops started. TFTC.

As I was approaching this one I was taking a circular route to avoid some muggles. As I did I couldn't figure out where the cache was and it wasn't until I was quite close that I realised. I also noticed that there is not that much holding up that building next door!

The cricket match below was nearing a climax and drizzly rain was starting to fall as I made the find with geodog Shadow at 5:40pm. Rain started getting heavy as we made our way back to the car.

thanks Team Campion

Tftc quick find after work

Left a Lego man

Nice little find. Left a couple of treasures, young cacher took the worry doll, thinks it will help......

This one was sort of on our way as we headed into town. I left featherdown in the car and made the short walk across a quiet park to the hide on the slope.
Cheers

Great hiding spot in another lovely park! Only saw one older muggle walking his dog on this chilly morning.
TFTC Team Campion

Found it!
Left you a small gift!

Found safely tucked away , thanks for the walk thanks for the cache

Cache found in good condition.

Found cache muggled under trees. Found log a few metres away and one goodie. Replaced cache where I thought looked good at GZ. Might need to be checked. No TB around

We have been here before to do a first aid course in the conference center nearby. TFTC

Suscoe headed north today for a clean up the Western side of Melbourne caches outing.
A delightfully cool day greeted us as we headed around the various caches.
This was our 16th find of 23 for the day.
We found our way in here and located the cache after a nice walk in the park.
Thanks to Team Campion for their placing of this cache here.

Found it easily, however with a family setting up forcwhat seemed to be a party in the park, i had to be a little more crafty with the reteival and the return of the cache.
TFTC!!!!

Got lots of old logs to catch up on from last month.
Found this with Dad (Kid Ron Satan). TFTC.

29/09/14. 10:28 AM. Cache #1881. Streak day #99. Continuing our walk around Attwood and Westmeadows: 2 dads, 3 kids and 1 dog. This was my last of 4 finds today. After "Ardlie Adventures", this was the next stop on the way home for a late breakfast. It was good to get amongst the first finders of a fairly new cache, so far from home (in the case of Yelyac & I, down here from Sydney). The kids ran ahead while the dads & geopup lagged behind. Once I got up to GZ, the kids had already found it, so I just needed to sign it. There was one more cache to try on the way home; "Do you see what I see", which I didn't expect to find. TFTC }:)

What a view from this wonderful hide, most unexpected. Xambo4u and I stopped here for lunch, even though we were nearly blown away with the wind. Thanks Team Campion

Out and about with echidna44 for a very very windy caching day.
Clearing out a couple in this area we battled the headon winds for this one but the veiw was worth it. Nice little hide. Left TB for some sernity
Liked it that much that we decided to make it a lunch break in the play equipment out of the wind.
Thanks for the cache Team Campion

Found tonight on the way home from the airport, I thought I would pick up a few caches whilst in the area. Tftc

Sometimes the clues don't bring you any closer than what a postcode can do.
And this is a fine example.
The search area is huge.
You would think that you need a cut lunch in order to work your way over this obstacle.
It is huge.
But don't be put off for the treasure is made to be found.
Well done Team Campion for you have used a wonderful landmark to hide this treasure.
Hope others enjoy it as much as the bananas did today.
Thank you.
