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.

Seems like this one is missing. Found what we think was the spot.

Perhaps a CO check is required.

No find for us
 
12-Jun-16
Out and about with contactpete, Snoopy1976 and Dave 8153 we did a few more of this series as a bit of a spontaneous extension to the caches we had already got his afternoon. Some funny antics ended up emerging with park and grab turning into park and run!!!!!!!!!

Tftc, setting out today with the aim of getting 50 caches. I spent the night before solving the puzzle caches in the region. I made my way back up the M1 to my recent hunting ground. I followed the Classic Motorcycles up to Mangrove and then followed ALL7s caches down Brush Creek Road which revealed the beautiful Cedar Brush Creek and Yarramalong. Another wonderful caching day!
 
10-May-16
Another sunny day, Smile So I am going geocaching. Big Grin
I am heading up the hill again to try to find those caches I missed last time. Cool
I missed these caches the other day, I just did not have time, So, I am back. [^]
Well, now it is time to go down hill and back home. So I followed the green Icons down the road. Razz
Unfortunately I could not find this one. Twisted

Today I was on a Geocaching tour around the Central Coast area, away from the City rush and out in the quiet bushland. My first way took me up to the hill through the Bush. I was looking here for the caches all alone.
Back in civilisation, I went back to Kulnarra and back to Gosford. I also found many caches here and was happy to look at the nice nature here.
Thank you to all the owners in the bushland for all those Caches
Thank you
Team sissifalke

Thanks xPhenoms for this Motorcycle trail which I did today in the heat. They were good easy finds (most of them) I enjoyed the ride although it brought back great memories of my Tiger Cub and Speed twin days. This Log is very wet and needs replacing xPhenoms, a shame because all the others were lovely and dry

6799 Cache Found

Travelled down the Thin Black Line again early this morning down to the Big Smoke "Sydney". Took the opportunity to pick up a few new caches that have appeared on my map. Never ridden one of these, but enjoyed many an hour watching them race around Oran Park and Amaroo, One of the best handling motorcycles ever built
Favourite just for the memories

Thanks for the great cache and adventure jfinditSmileSmile

Reperio at 1420.

After attending the Geocaching NSW AGM event, I was headed back to Newcastle when I decided to stop off and find a few caches in this series. I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast, but it was interesting looking at each of the makes and models.

Gratias jfindit.

Found this cache while on a trip from Singleton to the Gosford area on a nice sunny winters day. This is number 30 of 45 found on this trip. I loved the photos of each bike in the container matching the name of the cache.
Thanks to jfindit for putting out this series.

Out today for a huge day with darkside dan. We had planned on doing as much of the motorcycle series. On the way we thought we would get as many other caches as well. We ended up getting 64 for the day and that's why i say sorry about the copy paste logs. Thanks for the caches and we had a blast together

13/6/15. 2:44 PM. Cache #2585. Streak day #356.
Copy/Paste log: Picked up 19 of the Classic Motorcycles series today, starting at Kulnura ("Munch Mammoth") and winding my way down to Somersby ("Yamaha RD350"), mostly in one line but some of them were on side roads. All easy park & grabs, with consistent hides for the most part, and I was usually under 5 minutes from cache to cache. [I left for another day the 13 or so up north from Bucketty to Broke as well as about half a dozen around Reptile Park].

This cache: 4th for the day. Heading south down George Downes Drive, I got this between "MV Agusta F4" and "AJS Porcupine". TFTC.

For the record the song in my head "Bryan Adams - Run To You"

Having been stuck inside for the last few days I took the opportunity to head out and grab some caches today. I've been meaning to head up this way and grab a number of the Classic Motorcycle Series along with the Taz and Tweety Bird series. The consistent rain had kept me away previously as I'd recently had an infection from a few leech bites and wasn't keen to endure the same pain again. The other fear that had kept me away was getting the van bogged in the very soft ground (again). After a few sunny days I awoke this morning to find that today was no different and made the decision to finally cover this area with smiles.

I drove up the now very familiar road to an area I've been to more times in the past 2 months than I have in the past decade. Being a weekday I was hoping that there would be less traffic, in particular less motorbikes, and thankfully that was the case. There was still plenty of muggle activity to be dodging though and I wonder how many calls there were to the police today about a strange person driving a van and stopping every 300m or so. Luckily most caches were found fairly easily and I'm happy to report that I didn't have a single DNF after finding 30 odd caches today.

Thank you specifically to All7 and Jfindit for hiding most of the caches I did today and for maintaining them as I saw there were a number of new logs.

Time to head back home to watch the Blues in State of Origin. Go The Blues!!

TFTC cheers

Road tripping with the geokids today. Decided we'd see if we could rack up a few quick stats.

The theme seems to have evolved a bit as it heads north. I'm still enjoying learning about bikes and really enjoying seeing clean fresh logs and new caches! TNLN TFTC

You know what's nice when you do a run of these? Something just a wee bit different. Cheers for keeping it interesting jfindit. I liked the container on this one Smile

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Out and about with Mumma-Kel today collecting some motorcycles while cruising Peats Ridge Rd, George Downes Drive and Wisemans Ferry Road ... as well as attending to some unfinished business down the Thin Black Line. Another straightforward find here, or at least I presume so ... once again, Mumma-Kel did the honours while I sat behind the wheel and checked where to head next.

TFTC and for the smiley jfindit.

Enjoying a nice Sunday drive picking up a few of these series.  Nice easy finds. I like this container. Thanks.

We headed out for a day of caching with Team Senz, finding a total of 28 caches. There was a bit of traffic along the road today. We loved the pictures of the bikes in nearly each cache.

Thanks for the cache.

Having to travel north today to the Wyong area I decided to take a detour on the way home and pick a few recently published caches along the way I enjoyed there series and even obtained some extra knowledge along the way thanks for the cache Jfindit

While I stood waiting to cross the road, four large motorcycles drove past. The first was the biggest but was super quiet, so smooth with the engine barely turning over even at 100 kmph. While heading to GZ I decided it was probably not on the private property behind the barbed wire fence, and instead looked for something that fitted the clue, and soon found it. Thanks for a good hide, we enjoyed the drive out here.

FTF - This log was very close to our base and by chance we happened to be in the vicinity. It was great to achieve another FTF so nearby. The cache's coordinates were a little out possibly due to the wires overhead. However, the cache had to be where we found it so it was really quite a quick pick up and log as FTF. What a lovely day to go caching after so much inclement weather! TFTC, jfindit.

Accompanied with KamFindit... Oh DAMN Not FTF...our 2FT... enjoy drive on the highway..... Thank jfindit

We were out checking for storm damage on our Fernleigh Track series this morning and came home to find this series published. Seemed a shame not to be doing these on Mr C's bike, a (future) classic Yamaha FJ1200.
Yep, the locals beat us to this one too, before we left home. The coords are out here by about 40 something metres. Did a waypoint average for ya. Thanks jfindit
