An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -
One or more of the following has occurred:
No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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.

GZ has changed a lot since we placed this cache. The original cache has definitely gone - it's probably under all the sandy dirt. We will decide what to do with this hide soon.

An electronic glitch on our way out this morning put our GPS out of action [xx(], so it was onto Plan B to find this cache as well - using the phone app . Again, that had us looking over quite an area - and without success [B)].
Back at the car, after some Googling and experimentation, managed to get the GPS up and running again , so walked back and got a much better fix on GZ, but still couldn't find the container .
There's been some earth works here and we suspect it may have been buried by the bulldozer [?]. Without some digging tools, we'll have to come back another time .
On a more positive note, we met someone at the gate and found you can get vehicle access to this area - at a price .
Thanks anyway JDHZ.

Tftc, nice easy find just to side of the track. Left a bracelet.

Found It!
A quick find here as the sun was setting. Lots of kangaroos around here today. And not a bad view either!

Found on a nice day out, the sun was shinning, but it was still a bit cool, nice walking weather.
Had been itching to get out to these newies and with new maps in the GPSr it was time to see what I could find. All were good quick finds in good locations.
First for the day and as I was expecting to have a bit of walking to do didn't mind making this one a drive by.
Thanks JDHZ for another nice cache in the hills

Found on an enjoyable day out visiting the Kaiserstuhl and Warren Conservation Park areas that involved a bit of driving and some very pleasant walking. The rain held off but it was a little cool at times. Too cold for a picnic at the hanging rock.

While there seemed to be plenty of cars in the various carparks and plenty of mountain bikers getting ready, we didn’t spot a bike on the tracks all day - just a few other groups of walkers.

Couldn’t see the forest for the trees!

Thanks JDHZ for the cache.

And the view was of ...

You can see lots of ...

What is the name of this cache again?

Accurate coords mean a quick find.

Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

With 11000 finds coming up this weekend thought we would find some caches around Mt Crawford.
Went for a loop around the forest finding random caches along the way as we came across them.
Lunch in forest and back in time for team.
It was very busy out there today I dont every remember seeing this many people thought here.
Even the Rocky campground was fully booked out.

This is what I love.
Parked the car and walked up to check out the views.
I see there have been a few visitors today.
Initially I had wanted to do a walk around Watts Gully for your other caches but Mrs Parrot feels just as couped up as me so we have been out togther instead.
Going to have some lunch and a cup of tea after finding this cache.

Thank you so much JDHZ, for more caches in this area, I love your work.

I’ll leave “Five Tracks” for now in case anyone else is heading this way.
