Finally able to reverse this dnf

Found this on the way home, not the container I expected!Tftc.

Nice camo but a bit creepy tftc

Tftf. Tricky one but all is well

Very nicely hidden!

TFTC! What an awesome cache. Well done. I walked straight up to GZ and thought, thats where it would be hidden in which I was right. After signing the log, I realised that the hint made sense. Thanks for bringing me here, with no muggles to contend with.

Tftc We failed here in January 2023 so this was our first port of call on this trip down under - we failed again!! Determined to leave Midland with no sad faces on the map this time we contacted the CO who was super helpful. The extra help revealed that we had actually touched the cache a few days ago and almost certainly 18 months ago! So glad to have found it as it is a long way from Wales to have an outstanding sad face. Incidentally we have just returned from a trip to Leeuwin lighthouse where were following the CO of this cache who signed logs immediately preceding us! Many thanks to all Aussie COs.Tomorrow we set off on our long trip home- hoping to see the waterfall in Changi airport en route.

Ca he was still on site , but I think it had been discarded will searching

After a big trip over the top end of AU with lots of side detours. Am now caching around the south west of WA for a while before heading back east again.TFTC. Had a good look around yesterday but couldn't spot the blighter. Had to reach out to the CO. Lucky I did as I had looked right there. Probably even trad on it a few times. Just didn't look close enough.Great for this one to finally get another smiley.

I came expecting not to find this cache. Its there where I left it. It is cammod. Do have a think before you log it as a DNF

Went to look again could not find after searching high and low for nearly an hour

Well, its no from me. Team Ireland Yah!

New cache in place. Please make sure that you rehire

DNF. A day trip at midland tried to find as many smiley as i can before the long holiday end but i received the blue face here. TFTC.

Searched extensively no luck

Ive still got no idea on this one

After a meeting in Guildford I decided to take the opportunity to pick up a few random caches in the wider area before heading home. This was one that I stopped off at. All nice and quiet here with no cars or muggles to contend with. Cache was a fairly quick find but only because possibilities were very limited. The hint was a bit misleading, I just looked where instinct took me All ok here today - TFTC

Looked high and low and still couldn’t find will try again another day

Sadly wasn't able to find it

Found it

The cache was found quickly today, don't let the hint lead you astray.
Thanks for the cache neva2old.

Came to replace he replaced cache but there was no need as it is still waterproof and now has a new log . Yes there is a broken cache in the wall but that’s not what you’re looking for. If you look low I’m sure you will spot it

Maintenance preformed unnecessarily as the replacement cache was there still waterproof with a half filled log .

I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* 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**.

[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 in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please could the CO check on this cache, it looks like it could be missing.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

We looked high and low but came away empty-handed.
We did, however, extract the remains of what looked like a clear plastic tube, which may or may not have anything to do with the cache. TFTH neva2old.

Looked but couldn't find

I feel like I can see it but it’s maybe damaged. Also looks like a lid is on the ground. May need to be checked, no log in sight

Oh dear another ‘no luck’ story!! Tftc.
Greetings from Pembrokeshire Wales.

Found it. TFTC neva2old. Happy to make the find here. Nice quite area to park n grab

Staying nearby for a couple of nights. Lovely drive in area Geo- hubby lived in when doing primary school. Thanks neva2old

Quick find on the way to chittering TFTC

Third find on a shortish bike ride from Guildford out to Midland and back before the cricket at Lilac Hill. Hint didn't lead us to the cache but the co-ords and a bit of cache radar did. TFTC!

We found ourselves in Midland so decided on a bit of caching to fill in the afternoon... Jase made a quick find here on a deserted Sunday

TFTC neva2old [^]

Found after a bit of a search. Thanks for the hide.

Managed to park right in front of the cache. Luckily there were no other cars close by so was able to search unhindered. GFBH was the first 'cacher' that I met in person when I started. Quite a while ago now! TFTC

A smaller cache than we expected and not quite where the hint suggests but close enough to find. Coordinates were good.
I parked nearby as all the closest parking was occupied.
Thanks for the drive by cache.

Found on a second pass with help from the CO. I had misinterpreted the hint - its actually a straight forward find duh. TFTC

Checked all the hinted at spots but didn't come up with a cache. :/

Finally catching up with some more logging!

Another day and another find, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

We had so much fun yesterday that we decided to head out today and do it all again. All good things must come to an end though and it is time to head south but surely we have time to finish this series before the final homeward trek? TFTC neva2old

Early for duty this Sunday morning so dropped by my namesake. Replacement found with no issues. TFTC Neva2old

Joined up with the MICKS (Meme28, I C Nothing, Kapelula & SirFancy) along with Burns345 for an absolutely fantastic weekend away for IGD 2022.
Traversed the countryside grabbing as many caches as we could and having plenty of laughs along the way.
Apologies for the generic logs.

Thanks neva2old for placing GNH:01 Thankyou _ GFBH for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log on 19/8/2022.
This is find number 5540 for me.

The lid isn’t on it and it’s been pushed way too deep to extract even with all the sticks around. Maybe someone will have an awesome tool.

Out in the Valley cleaning up the map in preparation ahead of IGD 2022. Thanks for all the COs that have brought life to the map in this part of the world for the event. Cheers neva2old!

Picking up a few smilies with TeamBarritts on our way to IGD weekend in Chittering. Tftc!! ??

On the road to Lower Chittering for a busy IGD weekend.
Met up with Team Barritts and BJA3 here and even with a large assortment of tools were unable to retrieve the cache.
We did manage to retrieve the log and have placed it in a new container and left at GZ.
Will send a photo to the CO.

TFTC neva2old this is find #14012 for us.

Day 1 of our IGD weekend with BJA3, picking up smiley's along the way.

TFTC and bringing us to this area!

IGD22 weekend shenanigans with the MICKS crew. Cheers neva2old for thanking these people and adding to our enjoyment! Sorry for the generic logs, but we really appreciate your cache.

Coming up for the IGD weekend get caches with the MICKS crew (Meme28, I C Nothing,Cirrus_WA, Kapalua and me SirFancy)

It great to come and see part of WA so close but I rarely travel out this way.

Cache in good condition.

Thank you neva2old for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

During IGD Weekend. (Friday to Sunday)

Enjoyed drive the car - country and bush land - plenty of paddles..
Sorry, copy and paste.

Published

Woohoo *FTF* @ 8:50am

Not every day a cache is published 100m from work. Took a few minutes but eventually spotted it. TFTC

Had a great morning attending the event in Midland and then a bunch of caches got published on GNH.

Managed a good days finds and had some fun.

Thanks for the hide.

Out and about again, a weather was a bit cold to start with but ended up being perfect caching weather. A heaps of new hides along GN Hwy. A great series and hope that it gets to be a new icon series which gets bigger.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

After doing the newly published series to the north Chwiliwr and I started heading home visiting some of the DNF caches from earlier and a couple of the newly published caches that were published whilst we were doing the series to the north.

Cache found without problems however the container wouldn't come out. Chwiliwr tried with a stick but that didn't work so I got the tweezers and he got the log out. While I signed it he managed to get the rest of the container out. Top replaced and container returned as found but closer to the face of the wall.

Thanks neva2old for placing this cache for us to find.
