Hi Bitsprayer,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings.

When you have repaired this cache, drop me a line and I can review it again for listing on the geocaching.com site.

If you decide not to continue on with this particular cache, please remove any remaining cache bits from the area.

Thanks for your understanding

***** REVIEWER NOTE *****

Hi Bitsprayer

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me by 21 October, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,

Seems like this may have gone.
Used the clue and could not find.

Grovelled all over the place - despite the fact that the obvious spot was empty - and still failed to find anything.

So I drove all the way down here from Casper Wyoming, USA (alright, I swam part of the way) but couldn't find it! Even with the clue!

Found at 3-45pm on our way home from Arrowtown. This was our second attempt because of muggles the first time. It is difficult to be discrete on this one. +Camping Badge. -Beetle. SL. TFTC.

I wonder if the kids KiwiChris mentions removed the cache but replaced it later. Would explain why Butterfly Lady couldn't find it when it really isn't a difficult one. Certainly some young muggles have added some entries to the logbook and they're a little unpleasant. Can't be a very good school in Lumsden as , in my experience, kids rarely have difficulty spelling "those" sorts of words correctly- but this bunch did!

Must be following Butterfly Lady & Radionut around!!
Found the cache but thinking its been muggled. Had a note in book saying a childs name age (about) 12 from the town.
only one object in cache. Was going to leave doc kiwi tb here but since its been muggled decided against it.

Arrived here full of enthusiasm, as RadioNut is a train nut also, and we were carrying a book on rail artifacts of the area in the car, but, much to our disappointment, after lots of crawling around and examining the object, no cache was found. Looks like it got muggled…

Easy find in a pleasant park. A one man precursor to Christmas was happening further down the road -- I could hear his TV set from the site!

Hope the cache is still intact -- I was surprised by three teenagers just as I was replacing it. Might be worth an early check.
