paper, scissors rock way Ballajura, Western Australia, Australia
By team_lethlean on 18-Jan-20. Waypoint GC8JATA

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, team_lethlean, 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 Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

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

Nothing left and no maintenance by co

Found a couple of remnants of the cache. But not enough to salvage. Have replaced container and log sheet at base of the tree. I don't know where it was originally. Hopefully it'll keep this one going for a while. TFTC

Cache appears to need some help here. Found the log book exposed to the elements stuck under some bark. Photo attached.

Great clue - clever cache Easy find but we had to evict a caterpillar family who has made the cache their home!

Found it!

A day out caching with Cirrus_WA, our goal for the day was how many LGA’s we could get in one day.
We ended up with 21 LGA’s, which is a decent effort.
Seen many spectacular views and some unique caches.

Cache was open and log was missing, replacement has been placed.




This is my 1306 find.
Thank you team_lethlean for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Found the first part of this cache on the ground and the second and third parts a little higher.
No log could be located so we have placed a new one into the cache.
Looking at all the elements we did find it is clear that this cache isn’t placed as intended and a check from the CO is advised.

A kid free day during the school holidays calls for a caching challenge. After some talk over the last week SirFancy and I decided that the goal for today was to to hit as many LGA’s as possible.
After we dropped the kids off a vac care we started the grabbing caches around the Fremantle area before following the river towards the city.
After lunch we continued north to Padbury before making our way through Noranda, Belmont and South Perth.
By the time we got back to pick the kids up after a full day out collecting 23 finds, 1 Adventure Lab and 1 DNF across 21 LGA’s to more than double my previous best.

Thanks team_lethlean for placing paper, scissors rock way for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 14:25 on 13/1/22.
This is find number 3889 for me.

Quick find here this hot afternoon with Spiderjockey07. This cache is definitively not where the CO intended, but we were grateful of the easier find.Tftc

Cool cache

Out with Meme28 today collecting some caches. Clean this cache out as caterpillars had made a home here log is well sealed in protective bag. Lid loose but if cache placed correctly shouldn’t be a issue for weather.Thanks for placing for our enjoyment.

ICNothing and I cruised around the area picking up smilies. Logged and replaced as found, love the baby ducks here!

Based on previous logs, I don't believe the cache is where it was originally positioned. Found within reach from the ground.

The inside of the cache container is also overrun by spiders, making signing impractical.

Photos available on request.

Container attachment has been damaged.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Plenty of ants on the camo. Not so much fun for signing. Thanks for the hide

Found on ground needs to be put back up. Sorry no climbing skills or tools. Tftc

Found the cache but it was not a bad knees climbing friendly tree. What a pitty as it looked like a nice container. Took a picture and will send it to the CO. Tftc

Haha that was fun, will never catch me climb so got my son too hahah

Found it and of signed was infested with caterpillars, so have been cleaned out. Thanks for the cache.

Not usually a fan of climbing caches and after reading some of the previous logs from “finders” it made it sound like it was at the top for the tree. Which is why I couldn’t see it straight away. When I saw how low it was I grabbed my step ladder out and climbed up to the cache with ease. And then I dropped the log Back down, signed and then back up. TFTC great fun

Found it I was the unlucky one who had to climb the tree... glad I bought another pair of undies super great find and found instantly with Kazma61 & Ambyfergs

??

So if we can’t holiday in Bali we might as well Geocache ... out with the newly wed Graceling123 and her best girl Ambyfergs converting some greens to yellow . Weather cooler and dodging the muggles during the school holidays. Wow glad I had the newly wed and bestie with me ... great hide and cleaned out the family of ants or termites TFTC ️

Found it thought the climb was difficult

It seems a pity that some people think that they just have to be here to claim a find. If a couple of geriatrics can get their name on the log you would hope that the youngsters would make the effort before claiming a find. TFTC

Another Team_Lathlean cache found, some quick finds some took a little longer and this one required a TOTT. TFTC.

I can see it but im not as young as I once was 10 years ago tftf!

Am I supposed to bring a ladder. Mate I got work the next day. I got a pic if you want proof

Spotted the cache almost instantly but had no way of getting up there. Was a shame, looks like a fun cache!! Unfortunately log not signed. TFTC

Spotted the cache straight away, but not gonna risk getting it and signing it, what a fun cache tho. Tftc.

Found but did not sign the log since we had all our geo tools with us but no ladder. Cannot climb up that far and wouldn’t dare try. Am surprised at the height of this one.

As with Acachea, logging a "Find" as we could definitely see it but no log endorsement. Noted the Attributes and would not want anyone performing this feat.

Thank you! Took dad for a stroll around the lakes. All caches looked for were found, with some much harder than others. I knew I had to retrieve this one - dad would probably break something - but he did give me a boost.

Spotted the cache but decided we were too old and lazy to bother with it lol

Nice hide - found with SgtAnt, Pat & their dogs! TFTC!

Fairly quick find with Camanda while out walking the dogs. Tftc

Out doing some caching on the way to work.
Spotted this one a few weeks ago when last here, but being in my work gear, decided to leave it for another day. Quick retrieval today being dressed appropriately. TFTC

Thursdays used to be Mr and Mrs O's cache by bike day but Mr O got a proper job I did enjoy caching this area by bike though. Very quiet and some good, away from the cars, paths.

This was find 2 of 12 finds with one DNF and a 10km bike ride.

Mr O usually retrieves these types and I have to say the the adrenaline was up getting to this cache. Alas I was sprung by one of the neighbours and had to do a bit of explaining. When I got around the other side of the lake he was having a look but not sure if he spotted the hide. Seemed nice enough so hopefully he won't interfere.

TFTC team_lethlean

Great hide

Took me a while to look for this cache, luckily my friend Inspector Gadget has lots equipment with, took a special tool to retrieve the cache. TFTH

In the area finding a few caches, this was another one we found on our tour of the area… Whilst I quickly spotted the prize, Jase soon had the logbook in his hands… He is very handy with these ones

TFTC team_lethlean

Lonewolf and Hawkeye had no trouble with this one
I had heaps of trouble getting them to come home though
TFTC

Met up with Neva2old to grab all the team lethlean caches in Ballajura and enjoyed the variety of camouflage and containers. Managed to find the lot of them, some of which required a bit of help!

Good variety and a nice drive through the area.

Thanks Team Lethlean.

Meet up with Barnzy12 to grab a pile of smileys here. Cause he is such a gentleman he he all the climbing , jumping fences and fossicking in the scrub. Happy to say that we managed to find all the caches. I’m very impressed with all the inventiveness of the caches

Glad it was KB instead of me - I will be in the water lol...
Thanks for hide the cache and hunt.
another Fav from me

No tool required today but I did struggle to secure the lid back on. Plenty of insects loving your container too. Everlasting cheered me on from ground level; wise lady cause it was bad enough that one middle aged lady was already accessing the container. If you live close enough to swing past on an evening walk, maybe you could check the lid is tight enough; I did try both ways and left it as best I could. Thanks for the cache.

That first step is a doozy, but easy enough after that. I think I was able to clear all of the caterpillars out of the cache Love a good tree climb and this is a cool hide in a lovely spot. TFTC team_lethlean

Spotted, retrieved and signed.
TFTC team_lethlean this is find #9091 for us.

*FTF* Woohoo!
Saw this come up and I was out the gate. Will need to bring a step and gloves for the hairy catapillars. Great hide team-lethlean. TFTC
