I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache.
Please use a Needs Archive log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit.
If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers.
**However, given the comments in the Needs Archive log, perhaps the CO needs to attend to this ASAP. Therefore I am disabling it to allow the CO to address the issue.**

The CO is not responding to maintenance requests on their other nearby caches so a needs archiving request is a totally fair call in my opinion.
The hiding place for WP1 has been removed by the owners thereof so there is no way for people to get WP1 any more. Looks like I am destined not to get this one after all. WP2 is in place by WP3 also missing.
Thanks for the fun anyway!

After time we had searched in every place it could have been in. After searching for a while we eventually gave up on the 3rd one. In the end it was a DNF. First 2 caches were awesome just couldn't find the third
Out and about early this morning chasing a few nominations for the 2015 Geocache of the Year Awards. Found 8 of 8 nominees and 6 bonus caches along the way, one more nomination to do later tonight.
Second time for this one, had the GZ alright but just couldn't find it last time. A quick find this time in an empty park.
Thanks for placing this cache Succulents

Walked away very disappointed with a DNF after finding the first 3 locations relatively easily.
Found at 15:30
It had recently rained when we arrived so no trouble with muggles in the park. The kids were playing on the playground while I followed the basketball down the hill and made the find very quickly. I'm surprised I missed it last time.
Thanks Succulents for the tricky cache in this nice park.

Out with JSando targeting 2015 placements in the 15km radius from home. Ingeniously done. Really enjoyed this style of multi and managed to complete it quite quickly. The trick? Don't overthink. The hints were great, just our style of thinking. TFTC.
Having recently recovered from an eye operation, I was trying to take things easy, but still head out and grab a few caches. I picked this cache up at 3:08pm.
I was of two minds if I was going to do this cache today since I was a little warm and the last cache I had done had not put in the best of moods with urban caches. I do like a multi though, so I decided to give it a go. I arrived and the first WP and knew the drill having founds a heap of caches hidden this way. The 2nd waypoint had me finding what I assume used to be labeled as a decoy (needs to be refreshed if this is the case) and eventually I found the trickily hidden clue. The new point I think I was lucky the GPS was playing nice and I found the clue very fast. I liked it a lot.
I make my way to the final and was not optimistic, as the GPS was telling me to go into the backyard for a bit. I wondered around for a little while and it changed it's mind. Thankfully I only had to hunt for a short while before I found the nicely made container.
Thanks for the cache Succulents, I was in a much better mood after having finished this cache.

Out this afternoon for a couple of quickish multi's whilst MuggleWifeDoes recovers at home in bed from a dose of girl flu (not really an illness I know but we can humor them).
Worked through the locations fairly quickly (2nd was very difficult to extract) and arrived at the 4th location but couldn't find the prize. From past logs, I'm in the right spot just not sure what I'm looking for. Another time I thing as it's time to head home.

Another look, another dnf. I found the coords at wp3 easily (I could have sworn I looked there) but I was only able to search briefly at gz before I noticed the neighbor working on the other side of the fence and I didn't want to draw any extra attention.
Another day.

We think we found the location of the cache but couldn't access the actual cache due to difficulty manoeuvring the area
Reported missing parts will review and fix if needed then it'll be back up. cheers, succulents
Last time I had attempted this cache I had to abandon the search due to the high volume of muggle activity. Today was a drizzly, grey day so I know that it was a safe bet to have another crack at this cache.
I started at the coordinates that I had for the GZ and worked my way out. I eventually found it. not as intuitive as the first 3 WPs. TNLN. TFTC.

I had a day off so what better to do than to clear up a few caches. This was my fourth cache for the day and I was out of the blocks quickly. I had the first 3 WPs in record time but when I got to the GZ I was not as fortunate. After 20 minutes I decided that I was starting to look quite suspicious especially with the playground so close. I shall return at a later date to complete this.
Got the first 2 wps quite quickly, although the first one was a little tricky - tips of fingers could just touch it...and then nothing, drats, had to resort to bit of ingenuity to make the retrieval 
. Bombed out on the third one, geomutt kept attracting 4 legged friends which was fine, except their 2 legged companions tended to follow them so ended up abandoning efforts and will return on a slightly less nice day

Like atsmug, I didn't want to hang around GZ for too long then as the neighbours were audibly close by and a Dad and his son were kicking the footy in the park not too far away. At least the coast was clear today. 
A nice park that needs a cache however ...
I will say one thing about WP1 though, without a positive holding mechanism such as a magnet, I get the feeling it might not be long for this world in which case, the cache will be effectively unfindable. Just a thought really.
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Succulents.

3rd visit , log signed. Thanks to previous finder ,who understood my frustration and embarrassment at lurking in bushes near a kids park and next to a worried neighbouring house occupant (who I had to explain the whole geocaching game), and provided me with a suitable clue to cache location. I was very close on previous visit but not close enough. Thanks for the multi, nice clue placement on the first 3 stages.
The neighbour where GZ is asked me what I was doing looking around the edges of his property. Once I explained all about geocaching he was ok, but I guess not happy that people will be searching around his fence lurking in bushes. I wouldn't be happy. I left the scene, cache unfound . If you are going to make it so hard , then an appropriate place would be better . Not next to a park with kids playing and strangers lurking in bushes. A suitable hint would alleviate my lurking behavior!
All waypoints found , trouble at GZ ,a lot of mulchy leaves with some rubbish sifting through not fun

I found the first two coords easily but a lot of time spent searching at the third location left me with nothing. I'll be back soon.

*FTF* 10am
Coast clear now and neat cache found after a few minutes searching. I checked wp3 and saw that the fragile clue is now robust. Apologies if I damaged it last night, no way of knowing.
Often in this area for another game and it was good to do something else along the way.

Well, it does take a fair bit these days for me to log a DNF, especially for an FTF opportunity but tonight this cache has beaten me.
After being cajoled into a trip to the GZ by a message from the CO and another local cacher, I decided that an evening stroll was in order. The geowife was happy to get me out and have the warm bed to herself for a bit.
On arrival, the box in question was thoroughly scrutinised for cache material or indications of the second or third waypoints. Other than a few startled arachnids, we turned up empty handed. Even the UV light was of no assistance. (Although having just acquired this device, it was fun to use in the great outdoors - grass glows red and flowers are bright!!)
In any case, with nothing apparent at GZ, clues as cryptic as ever and after a casual walk around the park (as casual as one can be at 9:30pm in a strange park wandering around with torches) I decided to call it a DNF.
I will watch to see if there are any super sleuths who may have been able to work out where this one is. I will be interested indeed.
TFTC and heads up Succulents- perhaps tomorrow's daylight will reveal more.

I found three waypoints quite quickly tonight but a group of young fellows had congregated close to what I suspect is GZ and I abandoned the park. May return later.
