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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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.

Getting back into this again. A little rusty but soon made the find. TFTC
 
06-Jun-15
Just after a few caches today - nothing too strenuous after grabbing a D4 and D4.5 cache in consecutive days (especially that 4.5!
So wandered up to Bella Vista where it looked like I could grab a few in close proximity. Unfortunately, there were few DNFs to limit my finds...
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Second DNF in a row. Couldn't spot it while completing the nearby multi.

Yep, obvious where it should be (well a few possible similar spots) but the cupboard was bare.
 
05-Jun-15
If there is no response from the CO and if this cache is archived I'm happy to keep this cache going as I live in the area .. let's wait and see Smile
 
04-Jun-15
Needs to be replaced or archived
 
04-Jun-15
No cache in the extremely obvious hiding spot.
 
04-Jun-15
Cache check please. (not holding my breath - CO has 6 finds to their name and hasn't been online since Dec 2014)
 
04-Jun-15
Spent 5 mins here and found a likely hiding spot, but no cache.

Cache #62 for TSthreeBees
A nice easy find for the Geokids and their Geofriend.
A nice way to finish off a trip to see the Pixar Sand Sculptures at Bella Vista Farm.

Was early for a client nearby. Had to wait for an old man doing slow lunge steps up the paved walkway with his hands behind his back - for 6 minutes.

Once the coast was clear, I went in for a quick find.

Thanks for placing this cache cassievicente

Found it on a hot Sunday while in the area with the dog. Quick find with some people enjoying the pool on the other side of the fence making a racket. Lucky them. TFTC
 
16-Jan-15
Plenty of muggles in the playground but no one took any notice of me. Probably thought I was just sheltering under the trees from the heat.
Actually it was a nice cool spot. Cache was quickly found and there was a good structure nearby to lean on for the signing duties.

09-Jan-15
A young family had taken up space near the playground. But e while they were focused on one of the bikes which one of the kids was having trouble with, I made the quick and spent cache grab and return with none the wiser. Not even the dog noticed.

Thanks for the cache.

Couple of muggles walking dogs & the noise of happy kids in a pool nearby - but no barking pup.
Nice quick find with geoteen - of course she headed straight for the swings.

No pup issues like TC had, maybe the pooch is indoors during the day thus no harassment today.
Spotted container upon approach, which made extraction and signing quick. Nice toy match box car is inside container for the next geo kiddies. Thanks C & J, nice work.

"FTF".Just having a lazy day at home on Boxing Day and had just finished watching the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race when I decided to check email and noticed this notification come through. Grab my lunch and was off down the M7. Arrived at GZ and not a soul in sight. Took in the hint and saw the likely spot for the hide, reached in and had cache in hand. Opened to see a blank log sheet, did the legals and waited a few minutes to see if there were any other hounds arriving. Sensible sis turns up and we had a quick chat about things and I was on my way. Thanks for your first hide.
Cheers

Yep! Done

2TF at approximately 1:37pm.

Happened to be checking my emails and saw that this had only been published 7 minutes earlier. Debated about whether to wait and see if any more were published but figured there probably wouldn't be anything closer to home than this (2.6km). Knowing how hard it is to get a FTF around here, I was hoping that some cachers would be on holidays.

As I made way into the village green I noticed someone sitting near GZ. Muggle or fellow cacher?Normally I'd walk past and hopefully outwait them but with a potential FTF I wasn't going to wait. Checked one spot with nothing likely-looking. Muggle/cacher wasn't taking any notice of me so I poked around in another spot and came up with the goods this time.

As I opened the cache and saw the FTF had already been claimed I heard "hello". Turns out dkmacca was staking out the cache to see if anybody else turned up. Had a bit of chat before leaving. As I was driving away another car turned up - muggle or cacher?

26/12/14. 4:39 PM. Cache #2116. Streak day #187. 4th of 5 finds today. After getting muggled out at "Clarke reserve", I came over here to the village green for this one, freshly published today. I'd already seen before I left home that FTF had gone out, so I was just here to clear it. I remembered being here back in January for jmaxadventure's multi "The Village Green".

I had a short walk from the car to GZ, but had to pause while a couple of muggles walked by before I could start looking. Easily found in the first place I looked, and signed as 4TF. I then went back to "Clarke reserve", hoping that by now the muggle had left. TFTC }:)
