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.

The owner hasn't logged on for over 8 months. A list of DNFs building up. Attention by reviewers needed

This is my second visit here @ this time I even came with exact Intel from a previous finder. Looked for exactly what he described ... NOTHING! I think the CO will need to check this one out as previous logs suggest it sometimes wanders from GZ or it may have been muggled

CO needs to do a cache check in this one as I've been twice now - today with direct Intel in what to look for & still nothing that comes close

Cache needs a check up ASAP

Spent a while here, looking for all the possibilities. Didn't find anything remotely looking like a cache hide. And a few DNFs here. Might need a check up.

Guess I have to do what everyone does paf. We searched but came up with zilch. Bought some tb's through for a visit. Used the bubbler as it was thirsty work.

Even with explicit instructions from a PAF I couldn't find this cache

Had the geofemales stumped. Took geodad to swoop in and save the day, again!!

Came after going out for lunch at a family friends'. Searched, searched some more, even got geodad off his phone news to search, but no luck. Geoboy had some fun on the monkey bars though

Came for a quick find after visiting my specialist. Walked in and saw the camo, Nice! SL and replaced. TFTC.

Ah a playground cache, the bane of adult male geocachers who didn't bring the kids (or kids are too old). I looked where everyone else probably did first before resorting to a PAF and making the find some distance from where my PAF described so I guess it moves around. Luckily GZ is out of sight from most houses. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

good cache!

Very clever

Finally found one, was starting think my streak was gone...
Very cever hide haven't seen one like it before... However I failed to bring tweezers...
I can provide photo and discription upon request though...


Cheers for that!

After a quick scout around the GZ area I believed the GPS. Once I used my caching eyes I saw something a little different that blended in really well. Co-ords were spot on!
SL & rehid.

OK, I had to paf to find this one. It was about 5m SSE of where I was looking today. Taking a monkey sighting may help...

I had checked the map for where GZ was and arrived at the little park and started my search as per map. After 5 minutes of looking, I widened the search and still nothing. Went back to GZ and saw something in the corner of my eye and thought " that's odd". Ahhhh, cache! Nice camo. Did the legals and replaced as found.
Cheers

Arrived at cache only to see a car crawling away up the road. Went over and had a look, some young kids & their dad at the playground. So we were heading back to the car to wait a while and see if they left. The other car had done a U-turn & was sneaking back down, pulled up beside us "Are you looking for a cache?" It was lovely to meet the COs who had been doing a cache check. So we swapped some cache stories, & the family left........ nice quick find after a clue from a friend. TFTC

Had a bit of time to kill so went looking for this local one. Don't feel so bad about not finding it judging by how many people had to PAF! I'll be back.

I admit I had a bit of intel on this little sucker. Quick find utilising this.

Thanks for a different hide SeEpAyNe

This one was way too hard and we don't have any PAF to contact. Maybe a bit more of a clue would be helpful.

I needed some quiet time soi went caching early. A nice quiet park this morning, I read the description, and had a look around. But with nothing to find I checked the comments, and saw a trend. I played the sheep and reported to a paf (or would that be a PAS?) which led me straight back to where I was looking to start, but with bit more confidence anda hint of what I was looking for.
Thanks for the cache.

Very tough , needed a paf for this one

SL TFTC

After Village Green and Knocking on heavens door, found a shady spot under a leafy tree to park. Walked over and started checking the obvious at my GZ. Oh man, hmmm, this might be tricky, let's check logs.
Well, there are a lot of PAF's, off my behind and start searching "over the hedge". Thank goodness there are no playground users.
Good 15mins later, caved in.
Ah hah, there it is, thanks SE (3 of 3 for today).

Found it with snoopy1976 after doing some shopping

We couldn't spot this nasty hide. With a phone-a-friend we found it right where the GPS wanted us.

TFTC.

Little tricky at first but clever and evil cache

26/12/14. 4:58 PM. Cache #2117. Streak day #187. Last of 5 finds today. After leaving "Prospect Park First Cache", this was going to be my next find, but when I parked nearby, there was a muggle standing in the park and doing some sort of Karate Kid moves. So, I decided to keep going and head for today's new publish "Bella Vista Village Green" instead. Once that was found, I came back here to find the park empty.

Now I could search in peace, but I misinterpreted the description and the particular parts of play equipment. However, I suspected that the cache wasn't in the play equipment, but a bit further out. A bit more searching around was getting me nowhere, so I resorted to a PAF. This confirmed my suspicions, but I had been looking a little to far north. The extra intel got me the find, and I'd say it was only about 4m off (try decimals S.003 / E.515 for size). Great little bit of camo, too. TFTC }:)

Yew. Awesome lil cache!

Spent about 20mins in the rain looking for what I'd expected by the rating to be an easy find. I had a very thorough look based on the description but came up empty handed. Extended the search a little and still nothing. The lightning and rain eventually got the better of me and I retreated home to safety.

What a difference a bit of sunshine and a couple of hours makes. After the storm had passed I returned for another look. This time I found the cache in under a minute. The rating is spot on, however I wouldn't take the description too literally.

Bother! 400m from home but I was out grocery shopping. With FTF gone I'll go looking in the coming days.

Published

#1314 (1 of 6 today)

I was just leaving home to finish my Christmas shopping and grab as few caches when this one was published. Hmmm, looks like I'l be shopping at Blacktown.

Arrived at the park and noticed that the iPhone was pointing very close to the playground equipment. Checked a few spots with nothing to be seen, then I just trusted the iPhone and checked another spot. After about 1 minute something caught my eye.

*FTF* @ 12:25

Not the first of this type of hide I've seen, but it could really mess with new cachers.

Completed signing duties on a nearby bench and replaced.
A favourite for the FTF and the deployment.

Spent 20 mins searching for this one, either I'm blind or the difficulty rating needs to be raised
