The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Spent a long time trailing this puppy.. Nothing here resembling an old mint box.

From the log entries it may be safe to assume the cache is off.
Lovely weather, nice day for CO to check and restore cache, please

TFTC

Given the history in Puppy#2 and Puppy#4 I'd suggest this #3 should be archived.
CO is not likely to respond.

Poked and prodded. Since it’s been awhile, maybe buried or thrown away?

Think I found....? There was no log or anything and definitely not near the original location. Took me a while to find

Must of washed away with the rain

No sign of the cache but it could have been anywhere given the recent rains, MrsFish managed to record a new frog nearby though, so all good.

Walked away empty handed here today

don’t know if it’s because it’s outdated but spent 10 minutes there and couldn’t find it unfortunately

Log needs replacing. Might consider waterproofing the cache

Found easily but log too wet to sign

Can't write on any of this soggy paper and container so rusted the lids falls off.

Good hiding spot. Log was wet. Need to be replaced.

Found during the 5k Lockdown project. TFTC

That was really hard to find
Was a mint box??

Wet and paper is soggy. Can't sign.

Needs some attention

That took way longer than it should have. I poked and prodded moved leaves but it would not pop up. Finally narrowed down the GZ and noticed something before that was sitting there but dismissed it. I should have because that’s where the cache was.

Too easy

Found cool spot but I think the whole cache needs to be replaced - the container is rusty and the inside was filled with a wad of wet paper. Cleaned it out as best I could and left the log in best condition inside but it needs maintenance

Container is very rusty and all the bits of log inside were swollen and wet

Found after a little scouting around. Alas, this journey was by car and we didn’t have a pen with us! We did the Terry’s Creek walk loop for the first time, we’ll be back with friends for sure, and sign the log then! TFTC

Took a while, spotted the location quite quickly but did not look there at first. Finally found it. Could not get the log out, soaking wet, would designate it trying. Added a piece of paper with my log. TFTC

TFTC

We were walking the puppy trail and came to GZ. Poked around a bit until we found the container. The log has been wet and has become like a mini-brick and need some surgical tools to remove. We put a small new small paper in for a temporary replacement log. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Under some conspicuous camouflage!

Found today, log is so wet that I broke my pen trying to get it out. Hopefully pic of cache will satisfy find

No luck today with this one. Ill try again another time.

Quick find for the first one of the day

My third DNF in a row today! After reading previous logs, I widened my search considerably and spent 30 mins searching, but couldn’t find any sign of the cache (just a few 10c containers).

Off the beaten track. Under obvious camo

TFTC

Thanks for the cache, a nicely ambiguous hint!

Quick find on this windy afternoon

TFTC

Found while
Spraying the weeds through the reserve. Tftn.

That took way too long to find. So many places. SL TNLN TFTC

Stopped off after leaving the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale, at Quarry Road Dural, for this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to grab some caches while on the homeward journey. This was the 10th of 14 finds, and 3 DNFs, for the day.

Parked the geomobile close to the cache, on Birchgrove Crescent, then headed off down the stairs to GZ. Searched around the most obvious feature but, having found nothing there, widened the search zone out to more "hint" type areas and soon uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers.

Find #2894

Took us a while but it was a great find. GPS signal wasn't the best.

Gps became sketchy with the tall trees, saying i was 14m off!

But i got it! That log book is jammed tight in the container lol.

Nice walk. Easy find. TFTC

No trouble with this puppy. TFTC

I initially went where the description indicated but then followed the signal back a bit. The clue was accurate and an earlier log guided me to some obvious camo.
TFTC

Tftc!

hiding in plain sight TFTC

OCW morty8888 and today we are on the puppy trail. The four caches in this series were found relatively quickly. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers.

Targeted the Puppy Trail today and ended up finding this one quickly. TFTC

NOICE. cute lil bridge

Back again under daylight, quick good find. Lovely little walk

Did not find. Was dark, but had a torch and spent a good while looking.

No macaroon (mucking) about this cache .. left the macaroon with the cache. New log.. Nice tftc

Quick run for the morning thanks for the case it's a lovely spot to see

Find #178 8:05am. Thanks for bringing me along this lovely trail. Had CIH & signed in no time. TFTC

OCW Rodney 1210 and coastblue. Had a great day out. TFTC

OCW lok212325 and Rodney1210. This cache wasn’t on our radar. We were completing a nearby multi and along the way, we realised we were just about on top of this one so stopped for a quick find. TFTC!

OCW Lok212325 & Coastblue. Was in the area hunting down Mobb mentality when we realised this was close by. Quick find. Cacge# 701 TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Log was full so added another one to the cache.

Quick find with a skink pretending to be cache guardian. TFTC

After running the Parramatta ParkRun I decided to find a few caches on the way home, and this was my second. I parked in the busy estate and headed down the stairs, and was soon at GZ. I looked in some likely places before spotting something else worth investigating, and it was indeed harbouring a container. TNLNSL TFTC

Read the logs and grabbed the cache
Thanks for the cache

Located at 10:28pm. TFTC!

I really wanted to find a cache today and this ended up being the one I found.
It was the end of the day and I had time to quickly drive around the corner from the last job.
It was very tempting to find the other cache just around the corner but I left it for next time.
The cache itself wasn't where I thought it would be which had me searching in places that looked nothing like the final location.
I was just about to give up and decided to move one last thing and there it was.
If i hadn't moved that thing, I was literally about to leave but, in the end, I made the find.
Thank you for the hide TheThomasTeamCachers.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Nice quick & easy find in my way home from work. Decided to venture off the usual route home & grab a few caches on the way. Did I few others close by & will come back to finish off this little series! TFTC

Wanted to do the Puppy Trail series but had to hurry as a massive storm was coming, complete with lots of thunder and lightning. First we looked in some wrong places before adjusting the thinking and making the find that we wanted. It started to rain just as the log was being signed, so all was replaced speedily and then it was a quick dash back to the geo vehicle as the rain came down harder. Happy to have found two of the series, but the others will have to wait for another time. Thanks to TheThomasTeamCachers for these well placed caches.

Quick find. TFTC.

Nice quick find whilst staying in the area. Thanks CO and TFTC

Had to come to this one because another in the series was disabled , not disappointed.
Tftc

I looked at the right spot and decided to check out other spots..,.then ended up at my first thought. I have to trust myself sometimes! TFTC

Not what I was thinking upon approach but a relatively quick find

Tftc

Found it on a sunny Sunday while out with the dog. No-one on this path today. TFTC

TFTC visiting friends in Sydney

Found in good condition. TFTC

Not sure why this was selected as the hiding spot as there are far. Ether ones around at GZ. Lovely area none the less. Tftc

Tftc, spotted what I thought was the hide from the path, which was confirmed with a quick find!

Still continuing on my little mission. I have found all nearby ones, now need to venture further afield. Very quick one to locate. TFTC

Just getting back into town and after answering a TAF headed out for a cache. Parked close and down the steps to spot something and on over turning it the cache was spotted. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Went down to where the GPS said and was about to search when the phone rang. While chatting, I turned to see a SPOR (singular) about 12m away and went to investigate, not really expecting to find the cache there, but there it was. Thanks TheThomasTeamCachers.

Quick find during lunch. SL. TFTC.

Found it

#786
Completed a nearby multi and this traditional was on our way back to the car. Something caught our eye immediately on approach. Sure enough it was the cache. SL and re-hid.
TFTC

A mercifully quick find, discovered in the first place I looked. It sure is quiet and subdued around here today. Nice spot.

Now on to the last one for today.

Thanks for the cache!

Found a nearby parking spot and made my way down the stairs. Soon enough spotted something out of place and there was the cache. Didn't notice the huntsman guarding it until it was time to put it back! Eeek. Thanks TheThomasTeamCachers.

On we walked following the Puppy Trail and getting very wet in the rain. It's only water.
There were lots of possible spots for a cache here but on standing back and surveying the site the camo was easily spotted. I don't think the cache will survive in its current spot as its too exposed but a better hide could easily be found.

Funny thing we walked only about 50m from here a few weeks ago without realising there was a cache hidden here. There were a couple of people right near GZ. I wondered if they were cachers looking for something but as there are no logs for that date they must have been pokemoning.

3rd find on the trail and the rain has stopped!

The mission, I chose to accept, was Groundspeak's Mission GC # 2, which was only available this weekend to Premium Members. After decoding the clues during the week, the particular mission we had to undertake was to find a Multi Cache. As a reward, we would be gifted a digital souvenir from headquarters. I have slowly worked through a lot of the Multi Caches close to home, so I was not entirely sure which one I should tackle. AlphaDeltaIndigo suggested we go out to do some caches around Epping, so I picked her up from Epping Station and we first went to the 'Mobb Mentality' Multi Cache. We collected the clues from the various Waypoints, and with the help of Gatherer Hade's log, and ran the calculations. Looking at the map, we thought we had made a mistake because it was way too close to an existing Traditional Cache. We re-did the calculations a few times but kept getting the same answer, so I Phoned A Friend to get some assistance. The PAF confirmed we were in fact correct to begin with and the more recently hidden Traditional Cache is too close to this Multi Cache. Oh well! We drove over to the final co-ordinates and conducted a thorough search around Ground Zero, eventually turning up the cache. Mission success!

Next we decided to attempt 'Puppy Trail No.3'. I was lucky enough to earn the First To Find on the first Puppy Trail cache in the series, so it was good to find another one. AlphaDeltaIndigo and I still had some time up our sleeves and decided to go for our back up Multi Cache (in case we did not find Mobb Mentality), 'One in a Hundred - EcoTeam#6'.

Armed with some additional intel on the whereabouts of 'One in a Hundred - EcoTeam#6', we drove over to North Rocks and walked through the bush to look for the cache. AlphaDeltaIndigo stayed low, while I climbed onwards and upwards. Once at Ground Zero, I expanded my search for a likely hiding spot and soon had the Cache In Hand. Yay! I performed the signing duties on behalf of the both of us and returned the cache to its hiding location. I descended back down, and although I had some trouble finding an easy path to the bottom, I eventually made it back down in one piece. It was a relief to have finally ticked off this old Multi Cache.

Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners!

Log is signed as ADI aka AlphaDeltaIndigo

This was a qaepag.. we found it too easily.. not sure how stable the hide is though
TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers

I was surprised by the location of this one as there were a few other, probably more secure, places in the vicinity. Still, I was grateful for the quick find in the rain. Thanks again TheThomasTeamCachers.

Found at 11:48am.

I was out today on a caching mission and this series had popped up not far from home so I finally obliged and made the drive over the No.1 and No.3 in the series.

After finding number 1 just a short distance from here, I drove over and walked to GZ along the scenic (yet brief) boardwalk.

Once there I struggled for a few minutes, as I scratched my head I did a bit more research within the cache details but came up with nothing useful so decided to pocket the phone and use my caching sense which more often than not works a treat.

Signed log, thanks for the cache TTTC

Found with family

Quick find

Quick find TFTC

Nice quick find

Rainbow Spirit and I walked from # 2, and we made a quick find, thanks.

John and I walked down from PT#2 for a quick find, thanks.

After missing No 2 in the series this was a quick find. Phone had me 2 Mtrs from cache.TFTC
