Logs
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.
Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache
The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.
If a geocache 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.

Sorry for the delay on this one.
I've got a replacement but had been called away.
I'll endeavour to replace this weekend.

excellent spotYep sounds like it's gone down the drain, went for a quick squiz but only just saw everyone else's post. Shame, but would have been a good spot for sure
I had a quick look in the spot where the previous finders took photo's, if this is the spot then the cache is gone, i felt all around and i suspect that someone has knocked it off and it has fallen to the bottom of the pipe. (I didn't have my mirror with me so i cant give positive confirmation). Be careful here as there is a paper wasp nest in the western end of this rusty cache site.
Thanks anyway for the hide.

no pen thoughHmmm find it we did, needed to grab one while we wait for our early morning flight home. Tftc
Also, much chuckling at logs we did.
May the Schwartz be with youuuooouuuooouuu...

The GPS had us in the wrong spot initially but found it in the end.
Thanks Askalon&Sons for the cache.
Thanks Askalon&Sons for the cache.
Found this one after checking all the wrong places first. Typical!! But got it in the end. Thanks Askalon&Sons
A miserable day to be out caching but we braved the appalling conditions to grab a few smileys with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2. Thanks Askalon& Sons
We joined forces with richlink and JacobsCrew2 for a group caching excursion, we didn't choose the best of days with torrential rain and winds, but we did manage to stay reasonably dry and had a great time. Thanks Askalon&Sons.
Found the original and dropped in today to find this new one. Quick find once at GZ. TFTC.
Bugger that I didn't read ROgue's log about the replacement. I arrived this morning with a replacement tin which actually fitted better than the replacement. I swapped the log into the tin and tucked it under some bark. I think I forgot to sign the log!!!! but I have a photo and have also have proof of the silver duct tape covered tin I left. I'm unlikely to ever head out to the final and I think I have the coordinate from previously anyway. Thanks for the cache.
Since I've had no reply from the CO since posting my humblest apologies about losing the cache, I dropped by today with a replacement, placed in the exact spot where I found the other cache before unfortunately dropping it.
I had the required code from a previous incarnation of this cache, so I've added that as well as Granett's name and date to the new log sheet.
Thanks for the cache Askalon&Sons.
If my calculations are correct, this is my 6000th cache find.

OMG I'm SO sorry! I've lost the cache [xx(] [xx(]
I arrived here and wandered over to GZ, peeked in and spotted the cache. Great, nice and easy! I grabbed it, and as I went to pull it out it has caught on the lip and come out of my hand and dropped down the pipe!
Eek!! I couldn't believe it! I tried to put my arm down to retrieve it, but couldn't reach. I'm sincerely hoping that someone has some sort of smart McGyver type trick up their sleeve to get this one back, otherwise I'm happy to replace it.
So sorry again Askalon&Sons...

Had a quick look here after having a chat with R0gue but it looks like it is going to be very hard to retrieve now, unless you are double-jointed and have pipe cleaners for arms - or can rig up a suitable retrieval tool.
FTF @ 4:45pm
Saw these get published this morning and was a little confused because I've heard of them before. I now see that a couple have been archived and some new ones put in there place. Which is good for me because I can claim a FTF.
After walking through some disconcerting long grass I arrived at GZ and had a quick find of not a mint tin and was pleased to see an empty log book. I hadn't done any of the originals so now I have some more caches on the to do list.
SLTFTC
I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Busselton at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2015' event. Registrations now open.
