The Vista #3 Karnup, Western Australia, Australia
By shaunieben on 28-May-19. Waypoint GC88HRB

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, shaunieben, 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.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by shaunieben and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Pretty sure this has been removed.

Hi we did not find it, and we think someone has taken it.

No luck for our search with ILT. The hint does not seem to fit area, but perhaps just cache blindness for us

Out and about with richlink on a blustery miserable day, but that doesn't keep a dedicated geocacher down.

For us today it is a DNF.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Yeah

With axell33 and the geopups doing the series all out of order! Enjoying the Anzac Monday holiday. Thanks for the cache.

Working our way through your vista series this one was our next target. We arrived at gz and started our search. This one had us searching for awhile but Leega finally spotted the treasure we were searching for. We added our names to your log and returned your cache back to where we found it. Now on to the next one. TFTC shaunieben.

No luck here for me.

Great little park good find

Tijdens rit van Fremantle naar Bunbury deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
Groeten uit Belgium en TFTC.

Catching up on a late log.
Chwiliwr and I had been down to Wellard to work at our son's house and decided to go caching a bit further south after finishing there. Had a pleasant time doing some odd caches around the area before returning home.

Cache found without issues. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks shaunieben for placing this cache for us to find.

I searched at the original location since my GPSr hadn’t been updated recently. Once I read on my phone that there was a new cache, I wandered over to log the find. Thanks.

Found it, but I’m a bit short to reach this one, will come back with someone taller so we can sign the log. Thanks for the cache

Have fallen behind in my logging yet again, but hey, logging a find isn't mandatory so guess it doesn't make much difference if it it gets done or not, but the backlog of drafts is getting out of control so thought I would do something about it. Found this one several months back on one of my very rare caching forays. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find shaunieben, and please forgive the generic nature of this log, but I did enjoy the hunt.

Got it.

Had an inkling on where this might be on my approach to GZ and although my instincts were correct I headed in the wrong direction initially but got the find in the end.

Thanks shaunieben for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1694 for me.

Love the hiding spot!

Saw this one as I approached, but a muggle and her mugglettes were playing on some nearby equipment, Took the opportuntiy to enjoy some winter sun and eat my lunch.

Lunch finished, and a quick stretch had the cache was to hand.

The wet weather had us heading out to some muggle free areas this morning. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there shaunieben, I was in this area today and found your cache The Vista #3 GC88HRB. I added my name to the log book at 8:47 am on 9 June 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10769. Woohoo!!

Left a TB here

Headed out with Redlipsandunicorns to grab the 3 Vista caches. Not the best weather but all 3 caches were found TFTC shaunieben

Noticed these three caches get published in recent times but knowing they were well within Jackylegs44 territory I stayed clear and chased other FTFs.

Decided tonight was the night to clean them off the map.

Thanks shaunieben for a good nights fun.

Great to have new players on board and hope to catch you at an event soon.

Thanks again.

Hey Shaunieben kids, found your cache with Scjaz on a beautiful day out. Tftc

Found with Rainbow Scjaz. Thank goodness for my go go gadget arms had a go on the flying fox too! Will have to come back so the kids can have a go. Tftc

Can see it from some distance away. Hope it survives curious muggles. TFTC

Published

Our first FTF! TFTC, hope your girls have fun seeing the visitors to their treasure!! That was a touch and go, lucky to find it before I suspect someone who knows the reviewer

Found the cache first, but that doesn't seem to count for a ftf this time. Ran into someone else there both arrived at gz at the same time. I spotted it, pointing to where it was. So she grabbed it and said it was her ftf. Didn't even have a pen to sign it.used mine. What has become of geocaching these days.

Claiming ftf as well because I found first. Ftf dose meant First to Find. Not First to sign.
