I am archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action or communication by the cache owner sgtjoeevans within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###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.
I am going to Disable it, 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 when action will be taken

If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then regrettably the cache 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

TFTC,

On our way home after a great days caching.

We planned to visit friends here a long time ago and started to solve the puzzles for this series.

Today we started The Devil Series. There were 3 that we were not able to solve so there will be some to complete next time we visit if we solve them plus any DNF's and caches we don't get to.

Today was our first day on the trail and we planned out a set round trip starting with #78. There were 3 DNF's out of the 55 in the series that we attempted.

A quick find on our way to Hobart

We are currently trying to do a cache a day to get up some stats for several of the YCDIT series. We only qualify for one so far so this is going to take us quite a while. Have been meaning to pick up this cache for a while and as we travel this road quite often we knew exactly where this pull off area was. It is a bit of a doozy pulling off when heading in the opposite direction. As the corner is very sharp and low visibility in both directions. Cache was on ground out in open so we hope we have placed it a little better and where the cache owner most likely had it. TFTC.

While doing the apple series we collected a smilie on the way to Hobart.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Thoroughly enjoying our week of Tasmanian geocaching adventures. Today finds us exploring the Derwent Valley. This is a lovely find in a cute location. TFTF. Be careful of turning off and parking as it is a sharp corner.

Great parking at cache as we were towing. TFTC
 
24-Jan-19
got up reasonably early this morning to head down to do the devil puzzle series with gridge98 to try get myself to 500 finds.
Was a great day for a drive and to cache, there wasn’t much stopping us except pesky muggles and one snake on trail. Managed to finish the devil and 2 other trails to get to the 500 caches.
Thanks budgietas for the wonderful caches and other owners of caches we grabbed today.
(We wrote ‘JLG98’ in most logs, for the combined team of JLRockstar and Gridge98)
TFTC
 
24-Jan-19
Quick find.

All caches were signed as JLG98

Today JL Rockstar and myself headed south to complete the devil series. We decided that wasn’t enough and a new mission was for JL to hit 500 finds so we continued onto the gooses series at Sorell and then went in to complete the sugar loaf series! A total of 132 finds for the day.
Thanks for all the caches placed.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Tassie Trip Day 61 - It was a lovely day for a drive and after going for the shopping it was soon decided to travel out to the lovely little town of Jerico then on to the lovely town of Oatlands returning via Campania and Tee Tree it was a great little dive yielding 15 finds and 1 DNF for the day.

After arriving at a suitable area to park thanks for making the effort to ensure there was adequate parking near GZ this was a great place to stop and cache and collect the smilie however it took a little longer to find than expected walked right up to it but was barking up the wrong rock and eventually after reading the hint we were soon barking up the right tree

Thanks sgtjoeevans for providing this cache for us to find and admire the scenery from a safe spot.

Hello sgtjoeevans thank you for the cache.

I found your cache on the way back from doing The Devil series of caches.
It took awhile to find as it was out in a odd spot so I put it back as per the hint.

Time to head off for a week of "whatever I feel like doing" in Southern Tassie. Decided my first goal was the newly published Tassie Devil Geoart and wanted to get it knocked over in a day. Well I did manage to do so, finished just before the sun went down. Not bad for a solo effort driving a SUV with 20: slimline wheels on it (who does that? like seriously?)

After finishing off The Devil Geoart, I was making my way back to Mangalore and this one was calling my name, log signed and onwards I went Big Grin

Thanks for the cache hide sgtjoeevans was a nice day out and around the hills Big Grin

Thanks for the cache sftjoeevans. Found with EeePees on our drive home after a day attacking the apple. There's is a lot of rubbish and some roadkill around GZ which is a bit uninspiring, nevertheless a safe place to pullover from the road.
 
11-Mar-18
Hi sgtjoeevans, thanks for the cache. Luckily we were heading south, as I wouldn't want to be pulling in here heading north and become a road statistic. Having said that, I do like these safe parking areas created when roads get re-aligned (for this one, whilst heading south!)
Pity about the trash and roadkill, but thanks for a break with a cache.
Found with Lil Rafa on the return leg of our geo-trip to complete the TTAI Apple series. A good day with great company.

It was a bit deadly pulling off the road to look for this one when heading north but luckily we survived the experience!!
A quick find at GZ though.
Thanks.
 
We had been leaving this one for a rainy day and since we were passing and it had been raining on and off we pulled over and found the cache in a few minutes before heading off again on our travels.

Thanks for the cache.

Like SSR said, we had been leaving this one for another day for quite a while. We were out a little further north doing some other caches and deiced today was a good day to grab this one. Usually, by the time we get here we are just wanting to get home. Today we were not in a hurry and heading south is the only way to do this safely.
We pulled up next to a pile of tires, or maybe it was a safety barrier built by the co? But it's fallen down now. Anyway we read through the details carefully and found it quickly.
Thanks sgtjoeevans, I've found all of yours now. looking forward to your next hide.
 
14-Sep-17
We were in Sorell this morning and decided to do a loop to collect new caches that had been published in the area and we extended our search to add this one in as we have driven past twice with a van on, so today was the day, as van free. A bit hard to turn in heading north as double white lines and a blind corner, would suggest access is safer if heading south. We went up further, turned around and came back to park in a large off road area. Cache was located quickly. TFTC

Hi sgtjoeevans
ANZAC Day; up early and on the road - solitude needed.
Arrived at GZ and had an easy search with a quick find
Sainted the cache at 0919hrs
Fair bit of traffic passing by today
Caching today took me 6439 steps over a distance of 4.85km
Paid my respects at the cenotaph when I got back to Huonville this afternoon
LEST WE FORGET - WE WILL REMEMBER THEM!

We stopped to look for this cache as we headed north after visiting family in Hobart today. When we arrived there was another car next to GZ but the person in waders and with a fishing rod was just packing up and heading off. Once the way was clear, we looked for the cache. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks sgtjoeevens for the cache.
