###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Having previously DNF’d this cache, thought I’d come and have another go.
Nup! Still couldn’t find it! Spent 30mins looking at everything, picked up a stick and poked everything, sat down and read nearly every find scouring them for any clues, but still came up empty handed ️️️
Will have to research Valoforce hides and see if I can look at it from another angle (also DNF Moreton bay fig trickery close by)

We found this one quite creative and thank you to the creator I put a lego person for the next person dyzire9
A great day for geocaching with Parkacruz, not to hot, so we tackled a series and a few other caches today, even had another cacher on our tails. A few laughs over a very spectacular slip and fall by Parkacruz, but no damage done. A very clever cache, a fav point coming your way tftc
Taking advantage of the cooler weather today and headed out with Neva2old for a great day of caching, we tackled a series and a few other caches, even had another cacher on our tails, love your little sign in the window A day filled with so much laughter, especially when this part of parkacruz had a some what glamorous slip come commando roll, how nothing is broken is amazing !! This was a very clever cache, well constructed and concealed TFTC
Cool cache. In the area hiding some more so grabbed this one. Tftc. Took the egg too for youngest son.
Found this one on Monday but didn't have a pen on hand to sign log, been back today to sign. Tftc
Found it. TFTC ValoForce. I saw it but dismissed it until I ran out of options. Well done
Unfortunately I can't tell you my story without giving anything away so I'll just say I found it and have a favourite point.
Thanks for the cache

A bit of a stroll, a short search, found cache, stamped and returned.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment ValoForce. Appreciate your efforts. Another clever hide which I found in the first place I looked but worthy of a favourite point anyway. Cheers

Really cool find! Came here a year or so ago with no luck. Now with some more knowledge we found it! Super cool. Thanks!
Out for a day with our valoforce friends on another geo adventure. These days which sometimes run into nights are always amazing and family highlights. The first part of the day was spent in geo delight finding our friends super awesome hides.
The second part of the day was spent here at the dam which neither geo team had visited before. Stunning views and beautiful picnic spots were found along with your awesome cache. Thanks for bringing us to this wonderful spot
Had a look around with the geo girls and spotted something that had valoforce hide spring to mind. Sure enough I was right on this one another fav for this brilliant Camo

After dropping FlyingPigSquadron off at the airport we decided to continue on our way and Cache Armadale. We had a wonderful time, the weather was perfect and the caches interesting.
Thanks ValoForce, for your cache.

Great hide! But easy to find since I was expecting something like this from valoforce
Gazebo caches and I usually don't get along. Did spot it the moment I got there but dismissed it. Then couldn't find it. Then thought about the name. Could it? Oh you cheeky bugger! So glad it wasn't a boring nano! TFTC
Another fun find with Just-Lookin while on a 3 week geocaching trip around the Perth area.
We really enjoyed the drive around finding some caches.
*Soon found.*

Very good hide here!

Holidaying in the area with tmann421, collecting some caches along the way.
Another good find here. This well camoed hide was the best of the trip for me. TFTC

Definitely a favourite point coming from me. Took way longer for us and had to read some hints to locate it. Awesome job. Tftc
Eliktrisiti and I decided that a little bit of rain wasn't going to deter us from tackling some of the bush caches in the Armadale hills area before the weather got too warm. Others thought we were crazy, but we donned our wet weather gear and ended up having a really great day of it. Have to admit that this hide had us scratching our heads and walking around in circles for a short time, having spotted the cache but dismissing it as not possible, but then again, having met the CO, it might just be... And it was, and then it took team work to earn our smileys. Another excellent hide from the ValoForce team. Well done guys!
We were on a mission to log a cache with 10 or more favourites to qualify for the special souvenir - little did we realise it would entail travelling nearly 200 klms one way to the closest qualifying cache for us. And just to make sure - we logged three qualifiers - this was one of them!! Geo-hubby spotted quickly and retrieved. Thanks ValoForce
Hay fever anyone? This is the same park . Found the great camo. Thanks for the hide!
Walked to GZ, looked around. Saw a likely spot and found it! Cache in hand within a minute. Neat camo. Thanks Valoforce
Rainy days are perfect for finding caches in places like this. Great camo,log signed just as the sun peeked out from behind a cloud as the rain bucketed down.
Found the micro cache. A favourite point is in order here for design of the cache . TFTH ValoForce.
Out and about
Keego spotted this one within a minute. Used the resident tool to retrieve the cache. Nicely done.. TFTC

I was very impressed with this hide - simple but very effective and muggles will have no hope.

Day fifteen of my across the Nullarbor, then to Perth via Denmark trip. First things first, a flash mob, followed by a convoy up the road with sharkiefan, Mica Paramedic, Alansee and Mr and Mrs Earthbound. We started off with no real plan, then we found the first valoforce cache and from then on, it became "Team ValoForce day" Oh yeah, some quality caches to be found, Awesome day.
How do you find the time, so well camoed. fave point.

Another excellent cache that makes for a great day out with friends.
Thank you for the fun

The Tour de ValoForce has reached the summit, and it is amazing how far you can see from this height. The services of Muggle Hubby were required to obtain this cleverly constructed and camouflaged cache, once I had spotted it. Had I been on my own, I could never have achieved it. Thanks for another clever hide, the great view, and a huge sigh of relief when the log had been successfully signed and returned.
Out Armadale way this arvo seeing the Old Man and had enough time to scout a couple of caches.
I seem to remember this gazebo from a while back but it took a few minutes to find this incarnation. I searched all the regular spots all the time thinking that it would be something totally different. I eventually decided to tap something with my geostick that I had noticed when I first arrived and what do you know it fell to the ground revealing another superb ValoForce camo.
Had to be a bit creative when it was time to replace it but got there in the end without suffering an injury. Popping another well earned favourite on this one.
ValoForce I found your cache at 4:44pm, this was the 1st of 1 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3121. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

Have previously found a cache in this gazebo, but this one is definitely better. Nice camo here Team ValoForce, favourite point from me.

Had an appointment in Armadale so decided to collect this cache on the way home, narrowly avoided going for a slide and managed to reach GZ unscathed. I must of had luck on my side or I have learnt to think like a valoforce because this was a quick find, mind you having the right in built attributes helped.
Retrieved log and signed before replacing cache back in exactly the right spot. Another well constructed camo here that certainly deserves a fav point. TFTC Valoforce. Luckily for me I didn't have to climb up onto the roof to retrieve it, but I did miss out on any ocean views from GZ hehe

Originally found & logged under the family caching name 'clan-wallace' but it is time to reinvent ourselves
Well that was a challenge! Usual high standard of camo which we have come to expect from this CO. Unfortunately Luna Maya & I ventured out without our geohubbies. Once we spotted the cache we were reasonably confident that we could retrieve it but were unsure of how we would replace it. We were a bit irresponsible in that we decided to worry about that later! All I can say is that brains won over brawn. A favourite from me. We should have videoed it but did not have a spare hand. TFTC
Out with Clan Wallace, had a very enjoyable outing & we were lucky to stay dry with the threat of rain. Well this cache was entertaining - all I can say is thank goodness there was no "fly on the wall". Mrs Clan Wallace excelled herself with her determination to find a smiley. SL TFTC Vaolforce - a very well done hide
It took me awhile to find this one, great hide. I spotted it when I first arrived but thought that it couldn't be it. Ta dah! A fave point from me!
We found a cache here a few years ago but this is much better constructed. It was the one thing we could see that was out of place. Top points for a well cammoed cache.
The way this cache fits in with the surroundings is great and I like the way it was done, good cache!

TFTC! After a lovely evening meal the geo wife and I decided to come and grab this cache.
I cunningly offered her $100 if she found it before me. After about two minutes I had spotted the camo and grabbed the cache.
Geo wife was most disappointed that she couldn't buy any more of the Tiffany and Co business and the bank account thanked me!
Add fav for awesome construction and camo. Great to see more ValoForce hides out.

A quick find today while out doing what I should be doing. I had looked for this on a previous occasion but was called away on an urgent matter. SL Thanks to ValoForce for the cache.
Very clever sneaky hide this one!!! And so hard for a chick that's 5 foot tall
Not sure what i was thinking when i said to the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns we will go out and grab a few caches. It was 43 degrees when we left and thankfully we didnt really have to do any walking today.
I noticed this cache was up and running again so this was on our list to find. Clearly no idiots were in the park except for us so we had the gazebo to ourselves. It didnt take to long for me to notice something that wasnt quite right and spotting it was the easy part.....Im not going to say anymore except another great cache from the valoforce team and a favourite point from me TFTC Valoforce

A nice quick find here due to the camo being missing . You might want to check it out as it is quite exposed
With the weather starting to get a bit better and the days lengthening out, I headed away from home early this morning to grab some smileys on the way to work. This was one of the targets for the day!

I spotted the log at GZ and it appears the cover may be missing.
Could be worth a CO check.

Driven past this little park many times. I was amazed to find the logbook and pencil still in place. Unfortunately the cache container is broken. Sign the log and took sometime putting it back so hopefully it stays in place for the next cacher.
Thanks ValoForce for the cache.
