I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Geo_Eagles_WA, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Unfortunately this Cache has been muggled. It will be active again when replaced.
I don’t know if they are missing or my GPS is putting me in the wrong spot but that is now 3 in a row we have not been able to find
Out and about with Mrs richlink while the boys are on the cycle path.
Thanks for the cache, loved the cache and the very funny story.

We like these ones, very clever, spotted after checking where we thought it might be, no need for stealth as the place was empty. Signed the log, TFTC
Wandered here from our holiday rental to catch the sunset this evening. Geohusband spent too much time looking in the wrong place before geowife swept in with a quick find . TFTC!
Found by Miss Mini-Geo on our morning ride! Thrilled at the type of cache! TFTF
GPS was going round and round, but eventually I found this cache. Log book is still very wet, removed a beer can ring pull as I did not think it appropriate for a cache. TFTC
Yay so glad my kids were with me to find it. Great cammo, I don’t think I would have found it by myself. Thanks for the boat ramp story.
19 days trip from Broome to Perth - together with Sharrrk - we stopped by just because of your story 
But couldn't find the cache. Also felt a bit unwell with the cameras around. Jumping coordinates - didn't have a good idea where to look... Also there was a strong and cool wind - we jumped back in the car and stopped at the bakery for some cookies.

Quick find here on a warm and gusty arvo. Thanks Geo_Eagles_WA
Had a pretty good idea what we were looking for but another DNF . We have a feeling that its been muggled. On the upside, its a lovely spot to watch the sun go down. Cheers Janale Girls
First one for the day, before we head back home from our holiday in Leeman. Tftc.
On the way North with megawat60, driving Max the GeoUte and towing Jonathan Swift the camper.
Happy to make a stop here, find the cache and have some lunch. TFTC!

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Our second find for the day and a great RnR stop for lunch and a coffee. Interesting little story for the ramp, thanks.
Thanks for the hide and Geo_Eagles_WAteam.

We were worried by all the DNFs but made a quick find here. Looks like the boat ramp is a bit less slippery these days

Staying in Leeman for a couple of days and grabbing a cache here and there. Most ramps I've seen are just sloping into the water not a slight arc like this one.
A nice easy find of the cache

While having a short break in Cervantes we drove north and grab a few caches before checking out Stockyard Gully Caves since we haven’t been for a couple of years.
Mr dimor made a quick find here before we went and checked out the silly boat ramp, never seen one angled like that
TFTC and returned as found

We were very pleasd that the weather is quite a bit cooler today which makes hiunting for caches more enjoyable. Our selected caches took us to some very good lookouts and viewing points and some had interesting history to read as well.
Each cache had two names added where appropriate, as we were travelling with ilook4geo.
No problem here. No cars, no boats or trailers anywhere to be seen. Soon spotted the cache and did the necessary duties. It looked like a super boat ramp and wondered why it would have been slippery. Thanks Geo_Eagles_WA for this cache placement.

Going out today with goingplaces2 to find some caches in more coastal areas. Beautiful day today, cooler but very windy. Cache found easily and in good condition. No one was at the boat ramp this morning. TFTC.
Mr OOH YEH was on a caching run in guilderton then continued driving to grab this cache TFTC Geo_Eagles_WA
A mini adventure today took us to the northern township of Guilderton with the goal of picking up Peaceful Purgatory on Diamond Island, a couple of kilometre kayak up stream. I put a call out on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and managed to get a very good turnout for the day with 9 kayaks on the water, and a couple who were let down by the local hire place!
Started off bright and early picking up a couple of caches along the way that I had previously missed and metup with the crew in guilderton before moving the launch spot to near the blackrat cache which had ampol parking.
A good kayak upstream where we found baggys bag and then made our way to peaceful purgatory, a very aptly named place. Could only get a couple of kayaks into the hiding spot so a few of us waited while others searched for the cache.
On the return journey we stopped to climb the dunes to grab the earth cache and a nearby traditional, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the solution pipes and mr ooh yeh provided some interesting info on them. Some great views of the river from there.
Continued along to grab two more caches that were a significant bush bash to get to before making our way back to the launch spot, and back home via some caches in Yanchep.
Thanks to everyone for a great day out and the COs for their caches.

Found it after a bit of a search then we had that duh moment.
We love out up here.
Thanks
We love out up here.

Heading home, last day of our 6 day tour of the North West, 3600km and the main attraction was Karijini national park. As always Geocaching proved a great distraction from the long distances needing to be travelled and a good stretch break. TFTH TFTC
Out today finding some caches Geo_Eagles_WAi found your cache Slippery When Wet this is find number 1387 for me TFTH
A nice quick find with the grandkids as we head to Jurien to drop them back to mum. TFTC SL.
Quick find as we travel through town. The story in the description gave us a good laugh. Nice spot. Tftc
Love this type of hide.
A friend was stuck on a cache, had looked several times for it with no luck. He then enlisted other caching mate to help, but still no luck. He threw the best tantrum when we walked up to it and grabbed it first try. It did help that we had found its twin only a few days before, and we didn’t tell him how long it took us to find it!
We also love the story of the sad episode at the boat ramp. Did you manage to keep a straight face. We didn’t when we saw the same thing happen. We hope the only thing damaged was pride!

We set off on a little road trip to claim a few smilies before heading to Geraldton for IGD. We loved the story attached to this cache..... you win some you lose some and we think that day the fisherman lost some.... anyways we are happy to say we walked away with a smilie after a nice quick find with spot on coordinates. A fav your way TFTC Geo_Eagles_WA
