One or more of the following has occurred:
No response from the cache owner.

7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache 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.

Second time back at this one, but still without better coords or clue, again didn't waste much time looking.

No luck

No luck

Damn nanos

No luck

Tricky tricky!!! TFTC

This one took a while. And a failed PaF. But Jj found it eventually. Wretched spawn of Satans! Blow them all up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikbpQHLcuaM

Found! Georgia and Chelsea Log book was full

Found with geoludy. TFTC logbook full so couldnt sign

Only had 10 mins - DNF

Quick find for me. Log was a bit hard to stuff back in but I managed. On of the smallest ones I have ever found!

Found it eventually

Found by The Noodler. Took a bit of searching.

The spawn of Satan. Destroy the nano factory. We did find it after dancing in the street.

[Tue 29 Oct 2019 around 10am]

With Muggles around and it being so public an area i chickened out, but on a quieter day i will hopefully 'spot the spawn' lol

TFT challenge, JeffJulie

With a bit of spare time before heading to an event in town we stopped by to find couple of caches, easy one
TFTFun

found with mogni and the mini maker on route to the 5001 - 10000 event, not a fan of nanos.

I was about to give up when extra info was gleaned. With that a quick find otherwise forget searching at the published GZ. It won't happen.

Thanks to JeffJulie and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Ended up desperately reading the logs to find this little evil cache. Eventually located. TFTC

Found It!
I didn't mind that song the first time I heard it, or the second time. But after hearing it thousands of times, I was definitely over it. Finding this cache took far too long. Bloody nanos. Freddo won't be happy...
TFTC

After faffing around at home after a lie in I eventually headed out for a big day out of caching in the hills. First stop was Earthlights event and then headed around the wetlands to pick the caches up there. After that avenged some prior dnfs and picked up a few caches in Mount Barker. Also paid a visit to the bakery for a nice pie.
After that crossed over the freeway and did some caching over there. Had planned on picking up the OTD September series but left the 4WD ones as the road was very wet.
All up found around 35 caches and had a great afternoon out.
Even better was to return home to a lovely tea cooked by the husband and a clean kitchen!
Was quite chilly and windy in the hills but thankfully the rain stayed away.
Walked to this one after collecting some info for a multi nearby. Was a quick find and sign TFTC

Took us a while to find it but we got it eventually using davidwazza’s coordinates! Bloody nanos!! Burn down the nano factory, doesn’t anyone think of the kittens! TFTC

Took us a while but we found it eventually after probably looking right at it a few times. Sang along to “Careless Whisper” while we signed a teeny tiny log.

Bloody Nanos burn down the nano factory!

Found on a Mt Barker geo day with Erine14 TFTC!

Took awhile but a good find thanks

Couldn't find this one sadly. Anyone got tips?

The usual Wednesday out with a couple of the Puzzled animals. Consisting of a KORF, Adder and a Rat. The plan was to clear out Mount Barker including a few previous DNF's.

Searching at the given coordintaes proved fruitless with this one. About to log another DNF a wider search was made where the KORF came up with the goods.

All signed and replaced. TFTC.

A fish, A Rat and a snake were out on their weekly Wednesday Wanderings.
Today we cached around Mount Barker.
This one took a while to find.
We searched here and there.
The Fish finally swam up to the cache.
Nano rant, burn down the Nano factory. hate nanos. Tftc

A trio of animals went Wednesday Wandering in Mt Barker and have now pretty much cleaned up town.

Walking to this cache I was thinking it related to a red hen, wrong, very wrong. After failing to spot the cache previous logs were consulted and a set of revised coords spotted. The new info had us looking in a slightly different area without luck again. I then adopted a 'what shouldn't be here' approach checking everything closely and spotted the nano cache.

Thanks for the cache JeffJulie.

Today was a bit of an expedition driving around the Adelaide Hills and beyond, to then around Murray Bridge, and few places in between. It began driving through Woodside on to Tungkillo to collect a few geocaches there, and then on to the river past Mannum and Mypolonga for a few scattered caches. It was then on to meet Michells&hound for her target D/T cache, and then back towards Murray Bridge to repair a few caches and find the northern area caches. Finally, I made a stop at Mount Barker on the return back to Adelaide. The day was rather nice; a little brisk and a few showers with only during the middle of the day it fell a little more harder.

This was a damn nano, and the difficulty rating was far too low for this one. I was looking for a good 10 min for this one, but at least I was looking late-ish in the evening with not many people around. There were some good hints in previous logs, that only in hindsight, I realised there was more help in those that I hadn't cottoned on to, and saw something around the searching area. ttrog's coordinates certainly helped, and this geocache's coordinates should be changed to S 35° 03.955' E 138° 51.882'. Anyway was good to get this find as I was thinking it may be a DNF from me.

Argh nanos! Their frustration lies in the search, and even then when found, the difficulty in logging and rolling. Best characterised as that annoying friend that hangs with your bestie!

Had found this one earlier in the month but didn't have a writing implement with me... today I was back and made the quick find and sign. TFTC

Couldn’t get log out, need tweezers

Found while out on a good friday, hunting traditionals in and around Mount Barker, or there abouts.
After looking for too long and reading past logs was tempted to log a DNF but persevered and thanks to a colourful log the find was eventually made.

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

There's only one thing worse than a nano and that's a nano with poor co-ords. So have included some co-ords which may help future searchers.
Thanks for the cache JeffJulie

WE had looked or this cache during our last visit to South Australia, but we did not have any success. Last night we read some recent logs which gave us some good information. Today we returned for another look and this time, with the information from other logs, we were able to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks JeffJulie for the cache.

Took a little bit of looking but got it in the end

Took a while, but there was 3 of us. Nearly took 3 hours too!

Took a while. Had three sets of eyes looking. Great hide, but just remember, it’s a 3 hour parking zone

Find No. 2465. Found with FUF009 at 7.25pm (SA time)

In Mount Barker, South Australia, for the week, for our Annual holidays to follow the Tour Down Under Bicycle Race.

After we had settled into the Caravan Park and had a bite to eat we decided to go for a walk around town to see what has changed over the past 12 months since we were last here, and along the way we located a few caches.

This was the first of four caches that we found for the night plus a DNF.

This one wasn't an easy find. With three sets of eyes we kept coming up with nothing so we then widened the search and it was FUF009 with keen sharp eyes who actually found it.

TFTC

Find # 7624

Found with Tyred n Cranky while on our annual Trip to South Aurstalia for the Tour Down Under Bike race.

After getting settled in at the Caravan park we wend for a walk around Mount Barker looking for a couple of caches.

This one was almost a DNF as both of our devices were indicating GZ to be 14m off, me thinks it may have been the tin roof causing issues.

TFTC JeffJulie

Nice find while in the area with tmann421.
Really enjoying travelling around and discovering more about these areas.
Thanks for all the effort put into these placements

Out with woolwood9 and we enjoyed getting some more finds in the area.
*Thanks for putting this cache out and showing us around!*
SL

Quite a bit of looking before finding this one, found in good condition.

Found it finally with CherryRose after a couple of visits. My co ords were out by 24 metres. Spotted it and lots of quiet cheers. Now off to a well earned High Tea. TFTC TNLNSL A Favourite Point. Well hidden.

At last a smilie here with Beary Organised about 16metres off by our devise. Found with help of last Log after a couple of failed attempts before. Off to Wholers for High Tea . TFTC TNLNSL

House sitting at Nairne with earthlight & we decided on a day of sunshine and caching.
Started with a very windy morning and beautiful scenery as we make our way throughout the hills collecting unfounds
After lunch we worked our way around Nairne & across to Mt Barker collecting more unfounds.
This one was found 8mts from GZ and was searching more according to the terrain stars. Was blue with envy once found
TFTC

Took awhile but got him! TFTC

Took a while but got it. Must have looked in that spot 5 times already. This thing was absolute tiny. Tweezers required for log.
I am still new but believe it is customary to include a rant here about nanos.
Bloody nanos ..........!
TFTC

Where would you hide a cache around he...... ooooooohh there!

It was a pain to remove but got it done and signed over lunch across the road.

Tftc

Ti took 3 days to find

Got the better of me this time, but we will be back for revenge!! Next time will bring dad.

Found with KLCed.. TFTC

Found on my second attempt. Small even for a nano. TFTC

Tftc

Found thanks to the accurate coordinates posted in logs earlier, as well as a bit of height. Logbook took a good 5 minutes to retrieve, tftc

Slippery little cache. Found it in the end, but spent 5 minutes trying to get the log out. Tftc

Up to Mount Barker to go and visit the Home of 12v again and of course I picked up a few caches while I was here. [^]
Had just stopped at the Salvos store and made this find right where I thought it would be. I think every second cache in Mount Barker is a nano.
Thanks for the cache JeffJulie.

Found with help from the sis aka avalozt87

Sneaky hide but much easier on a cold nights caching and almost zero muggle traffic

Signed as Wx3

Visited tonight by the “Disaster of Wayne’s”. Logged on the log sheet as Wx3.

[Insert Nano Rant Here]

Thanks for the cache JeffJulie.
Found on 20 Jun 2018 at 7:54:12 pm.
Find #6674

Easy find

Found during a foray in the Mt Barker area after allowing the caches to accumulate over the last few months. Spent a lot of time here searching but eventually located the cache in the most likely of the locations. Very thankful it was a public holiday which meant that all the local establishments were closed. Thanks for the cache JeffJulie!

2nd time lucky for this one. GPS was being a bit funny today but managed to find pretty quickly after spending ages looking around for it the first time. TFTC.

Ed who ?? [:o]
And on a stroll around the Barker today,
I found this musical cache outside a musical place

TFTC

Heading over to Mount Barker so I could get some printer inks. Had a few moments to spare so I called in for a couple of caches on the way.
This was the second. On no, read the description and bugger. I had spoken to other cachers about this one and the proximity to a certain radio station and op shop and was assured no one would be watching....perhaps. In any case I saw the hide and had to put my hand in and push it out as I couldn't grip it in situ. Then back tot he car to try and access the log. Having made my mark it was replaced and now the only thin to so is ask if anybody thought about the kittens? Freddo sums it up nicely:

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Remember, every time you hide a nano cache God kills a kitten.

**Thanks JeffJulie for this cache. **

TFTC. Wasn’t able to sign the log cos didn’t have anything to remove / replace cache with. Relatively quick find w/ the help of notes from previous finders.

After a couple of chores Purrfect Di and Matty went for a drive to get a cache or two...
This was one of them!
A nice quick find outside the obvious venue.
Ah the Nano, spawn of satan... we don't really love the shape of you!
Thanks for this one JeffJulie

1960's is more my style of music
Easy find
Tftc

Easy find with The X-Trailers

Nothing like spending your long weekend feeling miserable and then having to find a daily cache! I am so very grateful to Jeff and Julie for their recent release of several drive by caches in Mt Barker. This one took a moment, but mostly because my coords had me going somewhere else In the end I thought about where it should be and there it was. You'll definitely need a tool to retrieve the log

??

Co-ords had me up on the ramp [B)], so after a quick look, checked out some logs, which put me on the right track [8].
Quickly found . TNLNSL.
Thanks JeffJulie.

Took a while to locate this one, but eventually had the sneaky little critter in hand.
Took a bit longer to get the log out and back in.

TFTC JeffJulie

Had a hint for this cache from a previous finder. Found it quickly, don't know how I missed it last time. Took more time getting the log out & rolling it back up.... Thanks for the cache JeffJulie

Mr Tardis and Mini Tardis were doing some caching around Mt Barker today, and we found this one in the first place we looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache JeffJulie.

Detoured off the freeway to grab this after attending todays caching event in Unley. Quickly located as the sun set!!

Out and about grabbing a few caches and checking out the local area.
Thanks

Looked for quite some time before we changed out train of thought. There it is! Very sneaky. TNLN. Cheers.

Our first attempt at one of your caches in this series and we did find the coordinates to be a bit off like Hurtle did. It is a tiny hide and despite being short, Aussie Mary made the find here. TFTC JeffJulie.

Can see why Hevwalker had trouble here, I found it 8m from where GPSr wanted me... albeit in an obvious spot given the hint on size. That's it, the podium is filled and Elvis has left the building.

Video killed the radio star.

Last one on the list for this morning, and
it must of been close to coffee time as I just couldn't find this one
If only I had read the hint!!
Will be back, thanks for the hide JeffJulie

A quick find in a busy place. I pass this spot every day. Thanks JeffJulie.

FTF 7:11pm
Needed to get some steps today so I decided to walk from home which took a good 20 mins...
Left my 15yo geopet, Mandy home today...she is getting very slow & cant walk the distance anymore...
I was using my phone which kept moving me around...
Looked at the satellite picture but still no luck...this was taking way too long...thank goodness not a lot of people around this evening...
I took a seat on the step & carefully read through the description & the hint...just then I had a light bulb moment...
After expanding my search area I found the pesky little thing...it wasn't that hard really as it turns out...
Not sure if the coordinates are off but it wasn't where my phone was indicating...
Anyway, thanks for the cache JeffJulie
