As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous MAINTENANCE REQUEST, I have no option but to archive this listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer 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 has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[center][u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u][/center]
[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]

As my DNF log says, even armed with a previous finder, I could not find this cache. Time for the CO to pay a maintenance visit.

I wasn't too confident with this one, given all the DNF logs. But I had a previous finder (bikerbuddy) with me, so I thought I might have a chance.

Neither of us could find the cache.

There was evidence of a fairly recent removal of a large tree. This might have masked the location of the cache. Can the CO check please?

Couldn't find it. The back neighbour peered over the fence and scared the living daylights out of me. Aged least 20 years;) Had good fun tho nice guy. Will be back after its been confirmed it's still there.

Had to DNF this one as it was nowhere to be seen. As we were about to leave Gibbo455 showed up so we all went to have another look. Still nothing. We each did a PAF to different people and looked again with this information but still couldn't find it. The neighbour over the fence wondered what we were doing, so he was given a short lesson on geocaching and wished us good luck in finding it. Maybe the CO could check this one out.

I arrived here to see a couple getting back in their car.
Did you find it? (I knew they were hunting for caches as I spotted the geo hat)
No
Turns out we'd both been at an earlier event.
After a quick chat we decided to have a group attempt.
The dog behind the fence did not appreciate visiting hunters and the owners enquired over the fence as to what we were up to.
After explaining geocaching we all did some more hunting and even attempted some PAF's.
We think we may have found where the cache should be but came up empty.
May warrant an owner check?

Thought I'd take a stab at this one on my day off. Only "little brown" anything that could be mistaken as "magnetic" o found was this snail minding his business.

Very little muggle activity, although neighbours and pets were quite active

I look but was too 'weary' to venture near anything spider like. Will return with my non-arachnophobe geohubby

Arachnophobes nightmare. Hunted for half an hour with geo-son 6 and DNF.

Took someone new. She found it not me. Lucky she came hahaha

Gh90 took me today. I found it

TFTC! Found with geo-son 12 and geo-daughter 14 and geo-daughters friend 13.
It wasn't until we saw "magnetic"that we found it, our GPS was not giving us the best results.

Very quick find
Cache stood out and was easily spotted.
SL. TFTC

Nice cache. Found with Geo son.

#333 - Garmin eTrex 30

This was the only find for today. I was due to see a student in the area so I left home early to grab a cache. I was glad the suggested parking spot was listed as my phone had me parked around the corner with no park in sight. I went to the suggested spot and followed the Garmin straight to GZ and after looking around a little bit, had CIH. SL. TFTC.

What an odd shaped park. I suppose there is a reason for it. Oh well. TFTC.

Tftc

Had no problems in finding this cache. TFTC.

Good fun

Yay. Our first find!!!

Well after finding or about this unusual hobby I decided to fine my first cache. After about ten minutes of looking around the empty Park and looking very suss I found it. Good hiding spot. I didn't take anything or leave anything. I also couldn't sign the log book as I didn't bring a pen. It was a little wet but still good. TFTC. I will defiantly be looking for more of them from now on.

TFTC Found with newbie Maz. Some water inside, but Ok.

Passing by so a slight detour to grab a cache. The parks deserted the grass knee high and very wet under feet. Straight forward find. Plenty of stray cats in the neighbourhood. TFTC

We came down here about 2 months ago and simply gave up. We shouldn't have because this was easy as. The coordinates don't make any sense and it's a bit of a guessing game.
Last time we didn't want to go in there but this time I said to myself that I need a cache for the souvenir and to keep the streak alive, it's pouring with rain so, what the hell and found it straight away.
Can see where it is supposed to be but the magnets aren't strong enough to hold it so I left it where and how I found it.

Thanks BlakeAndTara.

Found it

Found it

Very tricky to find but we got there!

This was the first of thirteen caches this afternoon with the WaywardWoman. She was the first to find this cache, so she knew where the original hide was. However, I found it in the middle of a bush close to the proper hide. The magnets to attach the cache were still there, so I replaced the cache in the proper location. Thanks

My third attempt, will keep finding more now. If I hadn't found this onei would have given up!

A lot of time was spent looking for a magnetic box, so if you are going to do this cache; don't look at the hint. Also look at earlier log entries for new cords which will put you closer to its location. Keep your head down at you will be fine. Tftc

Find number 2765

The Booo's found this cache.

A really quick find with no funky smells. Not sure if cache was where it was originally hidden but have left it where we found it. Also dropped a booo trinket.

Thanks BlakeAndTara for placing this cache.

A nice quick find by the Booo's on a lovely sunny day thanks

The posted coords took me to a funky smelling place, until I searched further SE (8m to be exact) and there it was. Try these coords S33 46.600 E15o 46.929 and it might get you closer.

I'm not a fan of caches that put you up against people's fences.

More careful of being sprung, so needed to act like a fox. Quickly CIH, TFTC

I stopped at the suggested parking spot but there were Muggles swinging on the play equipment. So I drove around to a back street and found another way in. Walked to GZ and had a quick find. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Om gosh I hate spiders

A quick find on my caching rounds today. Coordinates were a bit off bit with limited possible places it was soon found.
Thanks for the cache.

#1506 (3 of 6 today)

Decided to head out west this afternoon to grab the rest of the waypoint information for the Milestones multi (GC5ENE1). Of course along the way I might just stumble across a few other caches as well...

Easy find here, exactly where I thought it would be as I approached GZ.

No one was in sight. Completed signing duties in peace.
Interesting little park.

Was close by so went in for the hunt. Picked up a spiderweb stick and then was rewarded with a quick find.

Thanks for placing this hide.

Streak Day #585 - Nice quick find with ris768. The title says it all hahahah. TFTC

Met up with snoopy at GZ and as we were looking for a way in away from the rubbish, I spotted the cache after a short glance around. SL #1788 on streak day #956 TFTC

#2886- FTF @1pm. I was on my way to Costco at Auburn, via a cache I had missed yesterday, when I checked the emails on my phone. Damn! A new cache had come up at St Marys virtually as I was driving though the area and I missed it. Kept going and on the way back to the mountains, I thought I'd stop and check it out. Middle of a week day, about to pour raining- yes, a chance at FTF.
With the time and weather, there were no kiddies in the poor, unloved looking park. Perhaps it just needs a mow at the moment. I strolled across and found the cache exactly where the co-ordinates said. Lovely to see that it was so accurate- many people who have put a number of caches out don't get them that good. A nice little cache for your first- though not sure how it will cope with wet weather. May need a zip lock bag inside for the log.
I wondered if it was a 'special place' for a valentine pair as your first cache together. Thanks for the cache!

We received notice of this while we were at work and decided to pick it up on the way home as it was on our way. It took a few minutes to find as the coordinates seemed a few metres out, but we eventually spotted it.

Thanks BlakeAndTara.

Always harder without a GPS and only using the phone. Strange shaped park.

TFTC.

Initially, the GPSr had us looking in an unpleasant area, which was a bit on the nose, but observing the hint we worked our way along and Mr MR found the cache in a much better spot. SL TFTC
