Hi dbowen96,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

Out with the family today at the HMFD, lovely weather and boy is it busy here. Plenty of people getting bogged with all the rain we have had, luckily there's no shortage of tractors to pull them out.

Quick stop here on the way home, soon honed in on the cache. Log is wet, but still able to sign. A nice little reserve.

**Found en route to Wagga**

Out and about with Happy Pants and The Empire as we head North to catch up with family and friends (The Crew) for a few days away to Wagga. Cool
It was great to be back on the road and traveling. Won't take that for granted after 18+ months of not being able to leave Melb Metro with Covid. Completing the local Ad Lab and grabbing a couple of caches we came across along the way.
A nice straight forward find here with good coordinates. We left our mark in the log and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache dbowen96 and for highlighting this area. Appreciate your efforts. Big Grin

A day to keep the blood pumping it again was the trip to a cache and this time a nice spot to take in the scenery and after arriving and parking the cache was soon in hand with the log signed and all returned it was time to leave however on the leaving it was noticed that something was moving at one of the wheels this was a little concerning as the day was quite cool and didn't thing they would be out but a brown snake had got caught under the wheel so that in mind the departure was very quick and it was left on the ground thankfully.

So dangerous animals in the area and all is good with the cache and container thanks for placing it here dbowen96.

We stopped at Henty for lunch and, while there, we looked for some caches in the area. All was quiet when we arrived at this reserve. Reasonably accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. the cache and contents were in good condition. This was certainly an interestingly shaped tree. Thanks dbowen96 for the cache.

Seeing how I had a day off and there are some new caches awaiting the FTF’s down in Henty, I decided on asking AngusnmumyAdventures and LilDonnasAdventure to try for some joint FTF’s. Big Grin We started the day off by driving along some back roads so AMA and LDA could make some finds, which I have already found and then headed to the new caches. We made two FTF’s Big Grin and found some other caches along the way back to Wagga. We stopped for lunch at the Uranquinty Bakery which was delicious. Big Grin TB Visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s for taking the time to place the caches we found and for allowing them to bring enjoyment to us and others. Big Grin TFTC’s Smile

Out and about in the company of Geo Friend for a day out, when we came across this nice little park, great little are to have a stop. Lots of signs to tell you about what is around the area too.

We had found it, we signed it, we replaced it, and now we have logged it.

Thanks for the cache that we found here today dbowen96, Lil Donna

With another day off and possible FTF’s down in Walla Walla, I decided to make the trip down. Big Grin I left at 7am and after a 420km trip, caching and shopping, I was back home by 3:20pm. I made the two FTF’s and seven other finds around the Henty and Yerong Creek area before heading into Wagga for lunch and some Christmas shopping. For being so close to Christmas, I was surprised at how little amount of people were walking around the shopping centres. TB visit on all caches. I quite enjoyed my out and would like to thank all CO’s for the caches I found and for the fun I had while finding them. TFTC’s Big Grin

It is a beautiful sunny, winters day which allow us to make good use of the day out, as OZREG and myself took a drive upto The Rock for the day, grabbing some caches along the way. We discovered many great and clever hides and only had 1 DNF for the whole day. A very successful day, with some laughters and good company.
This was an interesting piece of history and would never have found this area, if it hadn't been for this cache. It was a quick find in a lovely little park. Did what was needed, then after a short look, we were on our way.
Thanks dbowen96 for placing the cache for us to find.

This one was an easy find, though the plastic bag over it is not a good idea, tends to attract moisture and really the white bag stands out a lot.
