7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

I have not forgotten this cache. Be trying soon to get to it. Bad weather, lock down and just slack. Soon I hope.

I need to get this fixed.

Lovely spot. The container and its contents is water damaged and needs replacing. TFTC.

Almost get feet. Cache & logbook saturated, needs replacing

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat.
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again.

Today I need a multi-cache to fill a calendar spot. A newish multi in Mannum was my choice as Sal wanted to go for a drive and I like the Mannum Bakery!. Multi-cache done I saw I only have one cache left to do in Mannum and that involved a small levee walk. Perfect to work up an appetite before lunch. So off we set from the campsite. Only saw one other walker during our stroll but plenty of ducks and could hear plenty of frogs. Bit too cold for snakes though as i wandered through the scrub the last 10 metres or so to the cache. It was of course in the first obvious place I looked. Dropped off a TB.

***Thanks Uncle Hagrid for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

Camping near by and went for a walk on a cold windy day. After building up courage made a quick find. We hate long grass. T.F.TC

Still a bit fresh this morning as we made our way down to GZ .
No wasps, flies, snakes or water to deal with today [8].

Thanks Uncle Hagrid.

Lovely walk easy find thanks

Wandered down from our camp site and took one look at the long grass and thought better of it. Too many snake encounters near river for us. May attempt another time when they are less active. Another fun adventure though, lots of bird life and a lovely walk. many thanks for placing this cache.

I need to go back with the right shoes or change. Water is a bit high, and where I think this one is I would get wet.

10/3/2019 Needs some maintenance, logbook a little damp.Foqund with SkimMilkJugs

This Bug is a serious Jouneyman...!
Its now in a very pretty spot and I hope having a TB on board attracts a few more Cachers to this location.

Beautiful area however cache needs attention
Left TB

Went for a morning walk to finally find this one after all these years of going past in it!
A nice walk before getting too hot.
Has been wet and pages stuck together. Alas my supplies were back at the car, sorry. If next to come can bring a new logbook and baggie, I am sure it would be appreciated by the CO.

Thanks

Found It!
After my run in with the wasps here a couple years ago I finally came back today. Thankfully no wasps today. Instead there were hundreds of flies. At least I found the cache this time...
TFTC

That was extremely cobwebby! Quite challenging, that one. The cache was half-filled with water so we emptied it but the contents are still wet. The Tough Paper is holding up well. Tftc.

Today we did a loop from the Murray Bridge area, Mypolonga and to Mannum. Whilst in these areas using Geocaching as a guide we picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found after some weed whackin to get to it; l didn't sign the logbook, it's too wet n soggy...

Found out with Beary Organised & Cwaigee log wet but we did sign. TFTC TNLNSL

Found it with CherryRose and Cwaigee (our newbie cacher) She is hooked and is very keen. TFTC TNLNSL

Looks like the water is low enough.

Found by Mary & David at 1630. Water birds everywhere. Continued along the levee and happy to find that this one is now accessible and no wet feet. However, had to empty a fair bit of water from the container. The contents are wet; The log, being of special paper, is still useable but it feels slimy to the touch. Able to make our mark, but the ink spreads a bit. Could do with some drying out. Our thanks to Uncle Hagrid.

The water is a little lower. Ill visit it soon and check.

The water is still high.

The water is too high to get to this one. Ill keep an eye on it and check when the level drops.

Had just been for a drive grabbing a few close caches and decided I would do the levee walk before coming back to the caravan park.
Continued my walk to this one and the further along I walked the more water there was.
Arrived close to GZ and walked as far as I could go which was to within 5 metres. [?]
You certainly would need waders here as the water is quite high and surrounding GZ. I imagine if this cache is hidden down low it may possibly be gone, but I couldn't get near it today.
Thanks for the nice walk though Uncle Hagrid.

Very nice location, although cache itself could use dome tlc

Tftc bit water logged tho

Found by The Boofs TFTC ?.

Thomas and mike went in for the find.

Number 7 for today. Made the birthday boy go hunting! Wonderful day for a walk.

Found the second time around. It was an interesting walk along the levee today as we sidestepped the many branches that had come down in yesterdays wind storm. Cache is in good condition with no sign of wasps today. SL TFTC

Found the area but too many wasps

A nice walk on the levee. Saw a few carps frolicking in the billabongs next to the river. No snakes seen at GZ and wasps didn't SEEM to be around, UNTIL I had the cache in my hand. Then it was PAIN... Dropped the cache and ran away. Collected my thoughts on top of the levee. Needed to go back, retrieve my walking stick, sign and replace the cache which I manged to do in great haste. Felt three places where I had been stung. Later at home it turned out to be 8 according to geowife. 24 hours later still irritable areas. There are definitely wasps close to the cache even if you can't see any so TAKE CARE. Thanks Uncle Hagrid.

**Watch out for Wasps!!!!**

After a nice little walk to GZ I picked up a bit of bark. Under that bit of bark there happened to be several hundred wasps. Needless to say, I quickly ran away! Somehow I only got stung once - after a trip to the hospital all was ok with just a bit of swelling. The annoying part of the whole saga though was that I didn't get to find the cache!

Having read the hint before I left the camp, I had decided to carry gloves for this one. Deciding and doing are two different things and I was a little concerned about spiders. As I approached the GZ they were the least of my worries. There?! Snakes?! Luckily there were none around this evening, maybe it had been too hot for them today. Once at GZ it was an easy find, and once signing duties were completed and cache returned to its hidey hole, I scampered away as fast as I could. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches which add so much more interest to our travels. TNLN SL

Quick stop while passing through the area to do some more powertrails today
Cheers & TFTReal Cache Uncle Hagrid

So we noticed this one from Levee Walk cache... so we wandered down to this one. A great day to be hanging out near the river. Lots of water spoorts to entertain the cachers.

Thanks to Uncle Hagrid and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Out and about with &0thers just crusin through this lovely little town and taken the ferry over the river to camp for the night. After a cuppa we are off for a walk along the levee. Lovely night for it. Nice easy find Thanks for the cache

We were with xambo4u travelling home, stopping on the way - thankyou for the cache.

No bodies seen this morning. It is a bit creepy around Manuum this week. I did spot a couple of SAPOL. Nice big cache.

TFTC. With emilyc3po!

A nice quick stroll on my way from Mannum to Tailem Bend between work meetings (though outside my paid working hours).
TFTC.

It was a lovely peaceful walk with geodog, Mandy along the levee. Lots of bird life. The Murray Princess paddled by. The cache is a good size. The logbook was getting a little damp (still ok though) so placed it in a plastic bag. If the water rises too much more it could be in a bit of trouble. TFTC

Found it enjoyed the walk

A night time walk along the levee bank by torchlight with Mattycat, spotted a possom during our stroll a few protesting ducks and a cache at least no snakes on such a cold night TFTC Uncle Hagrid

"I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news...."

Out for a night run with the frogs.
Got the levee song stuck in my head,..
Sa w a possum. No snakes - too cold.
tftc Uncle Hagrid

Lovely walk
We walked 50 metres past it and then back to gz it was worth it
Tftc

Loved the walk and views. Camera came into use. Found with Dayseekers. A favourite point today. TFTC

Stayed at the nearby campsite and made the walk along here this morning in beautiful sunshine. Dropped off a TB which wants to be by the water, so what better place than by the mighty Murray.Thanks Uncle Hagrid.

Took t dog with us this time & papa.

"Apologies for very late log"
Darknstormy an i decided to go for a drive and we checked for some caches along the way
It was a great day and we found some good and saw some great sights

Thanks for the cache

Furrangel and myself were in the area and noticed there was a cache in the area we had not done..

We did this walk not long after some rain... it was quite amusing falling in to little quick sand holes along the walk... we came back with more mud on our shoes than on the ground...

Wonderful walk though....

Thanks Uncle Hagrid for the walk and the cache

Found it after a drizzly walk

Nice find cheers

Bronze for me after an easy walk in with Bindi the geocaching dog!! Thanks Uncle Hagrid for hide!!!

2nd to find. silver to me. slow to log it in.First thought we were gonna get wet feet. would have had it first if geowife had of sunk a bit further i would of got past her to take it first. Nice scenic views not far from home for us but never take the time to look. Amazed by the palm tree growing amongst the gum trees of the river thanks for the hide Uncle Hagrid SL TNLS. cheers.

FTF!!!! Wahoo
So do one last check of the emails before bed last night and what to do? A new cache has been published! Geo kids in bed, geo hubby is still awake...but who gets to go??
Decided to wait till morning.
In the morning I jump out of bed pop shoes on organize the geo hubby and kids and off we go....1.5kms to GZ. Geo hubby and I are trying to beat each other to the elusive FTF
Geo kids are strolling ahead slightly,geo hubby is concentrating for two secs on kids when I see the likely spot. Step off the path and sink slightly in the softer ground, losing my balance and landing flat on the ground. Hubby wakes up to what is going on and makes a lunge for the cache but wahoo I reach it first.
After all the excitement of an early morning stroll before breakfast look down and realize I was caching in my pyjamas!!! Oh well home for breakfast now with my FTF under my belt
