Guide Dog Trainer Yellow Wood, Queensland, Australia
By Pioneer 'n' Tiff (Maintained by Pioneer's Dad) on 01-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZM42

Archived to prevent further breaches by the Reviewer, of their volunteer duties and responsibilities.

From the recent logs it seems that reports that this cache is back in place may be wrong so I am disabling it again until the actual situation is clarified.

To cache owner has this cache been activated yet ,you did state this would be done ?

This cache came up in a discussion at a recent event.
A previous finder told me EXACTLY where is was.
It is not back in the original place.
And if it is not in the garden....

Knowing that there was a previous dnf since this cache was reactivated, we tried again today to locate the cache. There isn't a lot of places to put a cache there; knowing that there is no need to step onto the bark garden. Would be grateful if the CO or maintainer of this cache would possibly meet us there and show us and others where the cache is.

No luck this afternoon.
Not many places this could be without stepping in the garden.
I shall wait for someone else to find it before coming back.

Another self proclamation by a reviewer.

I am amazed at the reviewer failed to take the time to read, or that they would make such a public statement.

The reports of this cache having no maintenance has been overlooked prior to archiving by the reviewer.

Once the reviewer has unarchived, it will be returned to active service.

Coin owners have been contacted. A new batch of coins will leave the USA this week.

Unarchiving cache.

CO is incorrect in his log. The reason this cache was archived was lack of a log by the CO showing he was still doing something after 4 weeks which is the only requirement to keep a cache disabled longer than 4 weeks. I am amazed how many CO's will not do this simple thing when asked to do so.

The clock is ticking.

As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Being worked upon.

Once my father completes I will update the geocoins as missing or otherwise.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

it appears the co has not attended to this in three months

I had a good look for this cache..and i am certain it is no longer there. From reading past log entries, i would say it is gone.

Could the CO please take care of this.....

We were in the area today doing other caches, so looked where this one should have been. A DNF for us also.

Had a good look around, then checked previous logs.... Now wondering if its still there. Or maybe last finders did a great job covering it back up.

I had a good search round here today, with no luck. I notice it hasn't been found for some time now????
Maybe worth checking.....

Hello,

has anyone seen my cacher teddybear TB (http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=3352629) in this cache? I hope somebody has. Drop me a PM if yes, thank you.

Came to drop some TBs in cache but it's gone! I searched the whole area too. There was a white car leaving GZ when I arrived.

The three girls and I had been at their school's sports day at the nearby Olivers Sports Complex, and wanted to grab a few caches before returning home to the Sunshine Coast. This was nearby, and our second attempt.

We parked the car, and made the short walk. We felt rather exposed, but this was a really quick find. The cache was kid-of hidden, but easily spotted for someone on a cache hunt. We tried to replace with a bit more cover.

We took an interesting Geocoin too. We loved the attached story also. We have friends who train Guide Dogs also.

#164. Navigated by JR (kid #1) and found by me (Dad).

TFTC Pioneer 'n' Tiff.

Nice easy one. Well stocked. Swapped tshirt TB for chinese symbol. TFTC

Found while out cycling before work. Took TB tag with no attachment bc it used to have something attached so will repair. It's been trapped for over a month so time to keep moving.

Quick find TFTC swapped TB's left trash can for robot.

Thx for hiding! Changed some coins! Greetz from Austria!

Coin and bug drops.

Despite a fairly long search here we couldn't find this cache.

Owner maintenance in preparation for a new batch of bugs and coins from SoCal, due approximately August 1st. One travel bus is the subject of a news story in San Diego.

Link to follow.

No luck here

Couple of old ducks around but none the wiser and we found it fairly quickly. We traded a small girl doll and socceroos sweat band for a little blue fluffy creature. Two for one as the cache was looking rather empty. None of the listed trackables were inside.

This cache gave me much grief a few years and a few hundred finds ago. Back today to settle the score. this time with a newer GPS and a car. i parked across the road and headed over. GPS led me right to the spot and I had the cache in hand in seconds. Why I couldn't find it last time.. well I put it down to lack of experience. Glad to have this one ticked off, TFTC Pioneer and Tiff

Muggle City today...
Spotted this while pretending to talk on the phone, looked down and there it was!!!

TFTC

Found easily enough - there was only one of the listed TB's in the container so I took it.

TFTC ...[^]...Pioneer'n'Tiff

This is my second go at this one. Even tried twice this time. Last visit there was somebody in the bus stop. First attempt today and there were 2 old ducks in the bus stop. When I came back there was a bloke sweeping the footpath. Hmmmm, maybe a night raid

Second go an found quite quickly. TFTC. Took all tbs and left tb

Cache is good shape and new coins and pathfinders dropped off.
I expect the next delivery will arrive in Queensland around Anzac Day.

Couldn't find nice area lots of ppl walking by

Was pouring with rain - hope it hasn't been washed away. Will come back on a sunny day when things have dried out a bit.

No 2 today flying solo Geo Wife and Kids off having fun elsewhere.

I felt so conspicuous, suburban street, traffic flowing, high traffic establishment and GPS would not settle down (Why does it always jump around when you need it to be firm) 10 minutes walking back and forth then I trusted the GPS went back to the original spot looked hard and bingo, cache in hand I slunk back to the car to discover its contents. WOW indeed as Geocaching had said it did contain multiple Trackables (not 7 as was promised but still 6 available). What a treasure trove, I scanned thru the possibilities and chose a well travelled one so I could see how far it had travelled up to now.

Having pleased myself greatly with the find I then proceeded back to GZ and to my horror there was a slowy moving muggle on a mobile cart coming up the foot path, aaarrgghh what do I do now. Ok I'll just sit down as if waiting for a bus till she passes, had a chat with her as she passed while I tried to conceal the cache and then aaaarrgghh another muggle wants to catch the bus so sits down beside me and now I am feeling very conspicuous trying to hide the cache and being looked at with puzzlement. What on earth do I do now, if I stay sitting there muggles 2 will wonder why I don't get on the bus (which all go to the same destination). Well the only thing I could think to do was to get up and walk off like I had only been resting at the bench, I make it back to the car without being noticed, now what do I do, will I drive off and come back only to find more muggles in lodgement so I sit it out in the boiling sun a whole 10 minutes which seems like an eternity, finally bus arrives muggle boards, no more muggles about, run back to GZ position the cache and on my way Phew!!

Oh yeah TFTC TSLS SL

Copy of note to reviewer.

Greetings Ministro,

Re GCZM42.

Firstly, manly thanks for the great work you do, it's a thankless job but I do want to let you know geocachers appreciate the time and effort.

This cache was disabled while the "maintenance man", my father, was absent overseas. The log prior to your reminder clearly identified that fact. Sorry you overlooked that message before posting what looks like, about a fortnight after his estimated return.

I've seen this same proforma reviewers note on other caches and ask you to look back and see WHY a cache is disabled. If I do right by the guidelines and other geocachers, and give a timeline for it's return, maybe you could look beyond the date it was disabled and start your notification process from when it is supposed to be reactivated.

Many thanks

Pioneer

Cache renabled.

Coins dropped off, red Jeep (replica) with original tags available.

Sorry for the delay, but the reviewer is not aware of an outstanding issue with the geocaching website whereby I am not receiving notifications

Disabled until maintenance man returns.

Cache watchers, this cache will be disabled August 26 and will return in the second week of October. The maintenance man is planning a small trip to Ireland where he will be collecting geocoins to bring back.

Took us a while before Mr Bushies2 finally found it. Thanks Pioneer'n'Tiff.

Found easily stealth required as lots of muggles about took breast cancer necklace left harnony bell and gold EIffel Tower keyring happy hunting

After our last DNF, today we were fairly close - so we tried again with success.
Swapped a pink spiky dog toy for a soccer ball keyring.
Thanks Pioneer n Tiff.

This one could have taken a while but whilst I was examining a likely looking hiding place I spotted the cache very close by. There are no trackables in the cache sadly. Although 3 are listed. TFTC.

I pulled up adjacent to GZ and was about to jump out for the hunt when I car tow truck stopped across the road to drop a car off... Hmm, that's great timing I thought...

So, I decided to make use of the nearby car park to get myself out of the way for the time being, when what happens... the truck pulls in behind me...

OK I thought, if he is there I can be over here and safely out of sight... So I relocated again and made the find while the car was being off loaded... [^] I grabbed the two coins recently dropped so I can take them to Newcastle shortly. I wonder what happened to the other trackables in the container...

Cheers Pioneer 'n Tiff.

Last time I was here the GPSr was bouncing around all over the place & it was a hot day.....

Well it was another hot day but the new GPS had decided to do its job and the cache was in hand in no time

TFTC

Was glad that Ms Wig found this one quite quickly after seeing lots of people having difficulty with this one.

Thanks Pioneer 'n' Tiff

Took TB and GC.

Was so glad to finally get this one. First time on my own I spent ages. Next time it turned out the cache had just been temporarily disabled. Today with a hand from Aussie Liahona I finally got it. Had a couple of trackable geocoins to leave and felt they should be safe here. Now I see the list of coins supposedly in there I hope I made a wise decision. Get out there and grab those coins! Good to have a resident "minder" for a cache like this and love the doggies pictured on the website. Thanks to all involved.

This one had me looking in the wrong areas. I was cussing thinking that someone had "put the lid on too tight" Duh me. With the real cache found, I signed the log. The cache is in excellent condition. What a great idea for a cache. I thought this would be an excellent cache to drop in Braille GC I had. Picked up the TB. TFTC Pioneer 'n' Tiff and Pioneer's Dad

This cache is exactly what I am currently doing......"Flash" is 7 months old and I will attach his photo to the log while at the cache TFTC Pioneer's dad

Thanks for the cache nice and easy

Thanks for the cache....

took the dog to take photos of this one ....my sister is training a guide dog now and she dressed him in his coat especially for this photo! he is sooo cute ay! tftc

Geo hubby quickly onto this one
Checked obvious spot but No wasn't it .but wait just behind it was a little pile of something checked it out and yes we came up with the cache
Left 5 trackables
Took 5 trackables in exchange
(noted only 1 other trackable in cache )
Thanks Pioneer'n'tiff
Dad doing a great job of looking after cache
Would have liked to have had the opportunity to look around the complex and perhaps chat to your dad
tftc

My bad, forgot to drop the coins in because of the rain.

I was in the area knocking over a multi and this cache was on the way back to the highway.

After a bit of a search I found a cache with heaps of trackable items inside.

I grabbed an "illusion" geo-coin and left the rest for other cachers to pick up. There were a couple more travels bugs (one with a jeep attached) and another coin or two.

TFTC Pioneer 'n' Tiff and Pioneer's Dad.

While signing the log one of those pesky cache dwelling frogs hopped on in.

Just dipping the coin I found in the cache.

With past logs we are not sure it is online or not? Please confirm??
Had a look with no luck.

Be aware that this cache is off line until Mid Dec. Think owner intended to disable it for a month or so. but at first glance it appears to be still available. Will try again later in Dec 2010.

Found it before the deadline, hurray! I was misled at first, trying oh-so-hard to make it a super-sneaky hide, and felt slightly ridiculous a bit later when we did find it. No buses to wonder what I was up to, at least! TFTC. ='.'=

No problems finding this one nicely tucked away.  TFTC

Just a heads up, my father has decided to pay a visit for Thanksgiving. If you have a coin or SMALL TB needing a jump, you need to get it into the cache before Nov 18.

Cache will be disabled Nov 18 while he is away. He and I will be visiting caches in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Cache will be reenabled approximately Dec 16. Already have a red Jeep and 10 coins in possession for redeployment down under.

after quick search (muggles around) had to give it a miss, will try again another time

Found (14:45) today...

At last (none so blind as those who cannot see..)

Am sure we have looked here on previous attempts to find this cache...

But anyway success at last - maybe lack of muggle traffic to distract our efforts today helped...

Cache soon discovered..

Took Werewolf TB & The McClan's Travel Slug Geocoin - will relocate into Nirthern Queenland later in the week...

Thanks Pioneer & Tiff for the cache...

Really disappointed not to find this one. Must be really well hidden. Stayed as long as I could. Looks like I'll need a hint from a previous finder before can register a smiley here. Lovely sunny day for caching anyway.

#4358 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. This one was really well hidden and took a little while to find.
Thanks

Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4154th overall find.

Found at about 1:59 PM. Found this one after a fair bit of searching, everywhere but there! Not sure how long this container will last though.

Thanks to Pioneer 'n' Tiff for the cache.

Found with The Rats and Big Matt as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

Felt a bit like a bit of a guide dog scratching around here for a cache . After a good search the cache was in hand. Thanks!

Found on our second attempt after asking a previous finder for a hint. We were hoping to pick up 'The Missouri Hawthorn Geocoin' but unfortunately it was not in the cache. Thank you to Pioneer's Dad for his ongoing service to the community and thank you Pioneer 'n' Tiff for placing the cache.

I had a good look for this one this morning but came away empty handed. The vehicular and pedestrian traffic was beginning to get a bit heavy and I could only pretend to be waiting for a bus for so long, hehe. I'll be back!

This is another return visit ,looked realy hard for this one and signed the log ,second in a new book .the log was nice and dry

Oh boy look lots of coin and tb in the cache...wow youa re the best!!!! thank

And in honor of Ang's 21st birthday (that I couldn't be there for) and World Wide Flash Mob Day;

"Have you flashed someone today?"

Coins have been dropped.

Doing a little maintenance before I put a new set of coins in.

Looked for cache but didn't succeed spent over half hour looking for it but will attempt another day Duggstr

nice found it.
no geocoin there.
thanks for this cache and hunting
cheers

Found this one today while geocaching with granddaughter. Took Bruce TB as he's been here for a month and was keen to be nearer the water (although log was a little wet today but not quite wet enough for Bruce. Placed log in a ziplock which we folded but didn't zip hoping to prevent it from getting any wetter but allowing it to breathe so hoping it would dry out a bit.) Took Mississippi Geocoin as it's been here since Jan 1st. It's looking for a new location and we'll place it soon. We appreciated the service this Gent has given the country and the blind. TFTC. SL. Didn't have another TB to place but left a shark keyring opener, a slinky and a purse with coins.

Easy find once the granny-muggles caught a bus. Grabbed 3 coins to take elsewhere. TFTC

Found on wright family night run! Took 3 south because they need moving on!

Gotchya this time
I was not leaving until I found this one

Thanks to MarkAJHarrison from Melbourne for his help as a second pair of eyes
So many TB's and GC's!

Took quite a few of the ones that had been sitting idle for months and months - time they moved on
They will quickly as they visit the BrisVegas Event tomorrow

Persistance paid off

Also got to watch the Dump & Burn flyovers of the Last F1-11 appearance at Riverfire festival

TFTC

Called my father on Fathers Day, he went out and had a look.
Even dropped off the latest shipment of coins.

The cache is still there.

couldnt find it...hmmmm
thanks

See previous log and photo

This cache appears destroyed or long gone

I have been eyeing this one off for some time and had the opportunity to drive by that way today...

I was dubious about finding the cache due to the most recent logs and lack of recent activity and sadly this proved to be justified.
I looked high, low, left, right, over, under, in and every possible nook and cranny within 10m of the GZ

The only thing I came up with was a covered water cock and the evidence of a long discarded bag with what appears to be a faded TB code written on it (See photo) [:(!]

Please do a maintenance check on this cache - it appears to have been muggled and destroyed long ago! It may require archiving? [xx(]

I was unable to locate this cache today using the clues provided (no need to step on the pine bark, 1.5 difficulty). Given the time since this one was last found, perhaps a reassurance by the owner or maintainer would be helpful, as well as a hint about where to look. This one isn't intended to be difficult, after all

The gods of caching were frowning on me 2day - my 2nd attempt at this cache but no luck on what would seem relatively easy from description & logs.

Was hoping to collect a bug or coin to relocate to NSW next weekend but no luck...

Maybe next time ...

Coin and bug drops.

Was hoping someone could let us know if our BSR found it! geocoin is still in this cache. It has been 3 months since it has had a log. Thanks!

Thought the other thing was the cache until we found a way to open it. Easy find though after we ruled that one out.

Almost missed this one - thinking that the cache was another container. Have taken some geocoins to put in the rest of the caches we find this afternoon.

Bug drop, my father's email was a little late, some of them have already been picked up.

Happy New Year to the cache watchers.

What a great location for our, "Billie, the Alaskan Mosquito Racer" microgeocoin to land. Here's a [url=http://img.geocaching.com/cache/8bdda8de-81b0-4be3-8ee0-3d4e3eaaabb0.jpg]link to a photo[/url] of Billie working in a different kind of harness co-leading (she's the lead dog on the left) her team to victory in a mushing race in Fairbanks, Alaska.

quick find

left chicken but took a flower for mrs derf to keep her happy

We arrived ate this cache at around 6pm and due to erratic GPS signals there was more than a few likely spots to hide a cache. We waited for the all clear of the local traffic and one by one I looked, proded, poked and twisted all things caching.
I was just about to check on previous logs when Shelby said here it is and a fairly straight forward cache was logged.
Our thanks to Pioneer n Tifffor the cache.

Eventually found this after waiting for the bus to come to remove the nearby muggles waiting for it. TFTC
