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.

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.

Looks like this cache has gone missing with 5 DNF’s since it was last found.
Also of note is that the last finder reported that their child dropped it down a hole in the tree trunk
I would suggest the CO needs to do some maintenance or archiving of this cache

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 6. After my second day working from home I did not go out so today I wanted to get out for a bit. I just went down the hill and looked for a few caches around brown hill and Mitcham. I found one item at a familiar location I had never seen before. Caching is such an eye opening activity.

I have never seen this park before, but there was a steady stream of dog owners heading in for a run.

Thanks for the cache PicklePistachio

Despite quite accurate coordinates, it took a few minutes of hunting before this cache was located - there were just so many potential hiding spots to check. Unfortunately the log was reasonably damp but just still signable. Thanks for the cache.

Perfect hidey hole! Unfortunately our treasure to hide was too big but will come back to add something back as my 4 yr couldn’t resist taking little girl figurine that looks just like her.

It looks like that rain we had last week has moved a lot of stuff around at GZ, and I was close to giving up, but then spotted it. Scared at least one local while I was lurking in the bushes. Thanks PP.

Nice little hidey hole. TFTC!

29-Nov-20
This has been a nemesis of mine ever since I first searched for it. This morning I’ve been riding around the suburbs getting some old DNFs and a few new caches that have popped up during my slump. I had a good look for this one earlier in the day before giving up and finding others in the area. I decided to return here one last time before lunch and to my surprise it was in a spot I could have sworn I’d checked over and over again. So many red herrings around too which threw me off. TFTC!

I was in the area to get a puzzle cache for a calendar day ( only 6 days to go ) and i thought to clear this area out of trads again since they have respawned since by last trip through here. quick find.
 
12-Jul-20
After finding a multi nearby i continued my walk to find a few trads and to place a church multi cache. Enjoyable walk around the streets (interesting that in posh areas there are often no footpaths).
All the caches I looked for were found quickly. TFTC PickledPistachio

We didn't realise this was a park until after we left Red Face.
Took awhile to find [:o)]. TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Picklerick9256.

Nice easy start to the day. Covid is great for getting out and finding caches with no one around!
 
21-Mar-20
People galore on a lovely Saturday morning, but had a gap and made a dive for the cache - lucky it wasn't as hard as I expected. TFTC!
 
17-Mar-20
Found with hevwalker on a great night for caching. Thought we'd grab a few on this beautiful evening. Took alittle longer than we thought. TFTC

Found with scramping during a lovely tepid evening...
This one took a bit longer than it should have...by torchlight...

A day to chill and decided to explore the local area. Lovely weather today even if I did freeze my toes off last night. So grabbing a few caches, a hot ️ and a couple of Portuguese tarts.

Nicely tucked away in its hidey hole. Thx for an easy find.

Nice quick easy find during a nice walk around the neighbourhood. Thanks for the cache
 
17-Feb-20
As I approached GZ I had a pretty good idea where the cache would be. Spent quite a while following my hunch to no avail so tried a different tack and came up with the spoils pretty quickly. A great day for a stroll and grabbing a couple of caches makes it even better! Thanks Picklerick9256.
 
10-Feb-20
I have been past this a few times and knew it might take some time to find, with time on my side today I made the short stop here and managed to find the cache within 30seconds, just lucky I think.

Today I set out to clean up around brown hill creek and find all the caches within close range, I soon realised I had a lot of the day left so continued on with Hawthorndene and then around Watiparinga Reserve. All in all 13km walked and 31 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Getting late in the day and when we discovered where we would be looking I was thinking a bit more sunlight would help heaps. Low and behold my wife spies the container and we get the smiley on the map.

My caching goals for 2020. May as well aim high. Wink
Complete the Calendar to have found both a mystery and a multicache on every day. Should be able to do one probably not both. [^]
After filling the calendar to have a minimum of 5 caches per day last year, let's try for 11 this year. Surprised Possible but not probable. Razz
So today I just needed to find 4 caches . Cool

Sal wanted to go to Big W to do some shopping, that was all the excuse I needed. I will drive if we can get some caches on the way home. [^] No game on today so I wasn't in any danger of a home run ball. My GPSr thought I should look in the open but I looked at the hint and saw a well worn path leading into the trees. I followed that and after a few minutes I spied the hide. Smile

Staying nearby at Brownhill Creek and headed this way on today's walk. Noone about so figured I'd stop and see if I could make it a home run. Thanks for the hide Picklerick9256.

I hate these caches. Too many options and natural camo to search through
 
15-Dec-19
Too many options to choose from makes this tricky, and we didn't get it the first time. With a renewed determination we came back and this time we had it hand fairly quickly.
