Good Day,
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Another DNF. Can the Reviewer archive this cache, seeing as the CO appears to be not responding?
Yet another visit failed to track down this cache. Have tried messaging owner but not sure if message went into a black hole! I'm not convinced this cache is still here, it was 'found' on 15 July 2016 and the first DNF appeared on 15 August 2016. It has been logged that the original 'pole' has been replaced during this time. Will try to contact the owner again and clarify the situation. Anyway, enjoyed the searching!
With a warm summers day appearing and still another week left on holidays it was time for yet another solo mission around ACT. Today's efforts saw me avenging a few dnfs and bouncing around parts i dont frequent much. Enjoyed the day and certainly inspired to place new caches out my self (its been a few months since ive placed one). Thanks to all cache owners for their efforts today.
Had a good search with TravelGran but no luck. Co-ords around power lines are always a problem so searched in a very wide area, even crossing roads. Will put on my Watch List
Was with a previous finder when i went to look for this. The pole that the tension wire was on has gone and its a new pole. No wire anymore. Looked around but could not see the cache near by. Think that this might be missing as the hide has gone.
F(H)ound It! #1928 - @3:50 PM
Like previous finders it was a quick find but I was unable to sign log because of is dampness - so took a pic instead
Thanks for the cache, charlieskywalker.

Last day of a very long weekend of caching in Canberra. Today I worked on a wishlist and went all over the place with some great caches done and a very early and -8 start to the day. Also visited the event in Woden and met some nice people!
Thanks to everybody for adding to my adventure!

Clever hide, log still damp but signable.
Nice hide.

Quick find once we were in the right spot after a few suspicious muggles. TFTC
Out caching with StrangeTrousers for some night caching. Am enjoying these week night adventures and building up the list of finds. It is beginning to get cold out so next time will need to rug up a little more to keep out the Canberra winter chills.

#2989 3 of 3 tonight.
Out for a spot of regular weekly night caching with CBRChic. We were back in Belconnen tonight to finish off a trail we started 2 weeks ago. A nice clear but cool night to be out.
An inspired cache-name. The log was a soggy mess however. Attaching a pic. Needs maintenance.

Good find while driving / walking around the area.
Thanks for the fun. LOS WET HERE.

Had trouble trying to extract the soggy log and then write on it. But all good in the end. Definitely needs a new log sheet.
Decided it would be a waste to let the current streak die just cause I was sitting around the house. So on the way out I decided to drop past and grab this one. Turned on the GPS... Nothing flat batteries. Using the phone it is then. After taking into account the lack of accuracy with the phone I had the cache in hand. The log on this one is next to impossible to write on.

On my way to the Red Centre event in Jamieson, one of a few quick stops in the drizzle.
The log is wet, though I could very lightly sign the log (it could be easily destroyed by a pen). The container itself is not watertight, and given the magnet placement it can only be placed one way. Logging a maintenance request as well, but since the CO hasn't been since since June I'm not sure how much this will yield.

Doing the burbs after work before some Xmas shopping. Log still soaked, unable to sign, photo taken. TNLNSL TFTC
Had to venture to Weetangera today to pick up some keys, so took a small detour to pick up this cache. Found easily, but didn't even try to sign the log as it was clearly unsignable. As previously noted, it could do with some maintenance. The attachment of the container also seemed a bit precarious - wouldn't take much for it to be dislodged.

Pa drove me around this evening so that I could shade in today's square on my calendar. Just as well he did as I had given up when he suggested a different spot that I hadn't tried and there it was!
Will add a Needs Maintenance as log is just mush

A friend I was visiting had to go to work so I came out to find some caches today. This was one of the ones I found. Unfortunately I have to report that the log was soaking wet so I just signed it with the date and our initials A.L. Thanks for the cache though charlieskywalker. I hope you get a chance to put in a dry log. Cheers!
A quick park and grab on a quiet Sunday drive around town.
Thanks for the cache charlieskywalker.

5087. Found during an afternoon run around the area. I liked the name for this one and yes, the log is rather damp.
Thanks for the cache

An easy find, nice container.
The log is rather wet. It definitely needs some care before it turns to mush.

A nice cache with a name that tells you exactly where to look. Needed something quick tonight and this one was an easy find.

Set out to find a couple of geocaches today. After arriving at GZ we made a quick find, signed log and replaced. Thanks for the cache charlieskywalker.
Found by Mary & David at 1553. What a miserable wet afternoon, so the grandchildren's enthusiasm is starting to wane. A nice quick find though, and a clever cache name. Turned out to be our last for the afternoon. Our thanks to charlieskywalker.

I swung past here, on my way to cache around Uriarra Crossing. This was the second cache of a long caching day, and easily found. TFTC.

#1230. 212 days in a row.
After visiting a friend's place, I went for a quick find. As soon as I got within view of this area, I knew where the cache would be hidden, given the name. I wandered over and didn't even need to use the torch which I'd grabbed from the car (because I'd expected to be searching harder). Signed the log sheet and returned to the warmth of the car to head home.

Fantastic little cache to mark my 50th cache find!! Many thanks for this one - very cool
884. Felt abit conspicuous standing around at GZ but thankfully no muggles were around and the passing vehicles weren't causing any problems. Hope this little one stays around - I can't envision seeing anyone coming up to look at GZ though.

I realised at work I would need to pick up a cache this evening or risk extending my longest period without grabbing a cache beyond 6 days, so this was targeted on my way home from work. Bobl27 parked around the corner and left me to it, as he got FTF on it. It was a quick find for sure, even though I had not seen that particular combination before. There were a few muggles over the road moving cars around but they took no interest in what I was doing. TFTC and the quick pick- up!
Quick find with Skylight9 thankfully. Neat hide but not sure about legality or hanging around in current environment. TFTC
Ta. There is plenty of road space here, but the lane markings mark it iffy to park nearby! - around the corner's fine!
Hopefully this cache doesn't go missing when it's hidden like this!
Good little cache though, the name fits perfectly too.

After spending an hour and half finding Governors Gold multi near the Governor Generals residence I headed over to Macquarie / Weetangera for a few easier caches. TFTC.
Bumped the gutter and parked at GZ.......cache was in hand, log signed and then back in car and gone. Couldn't have taken longer than 90 seconds. Gotta like a cache that quick.
Thanks again CSW.....
Thanks again CSW.....
Found 5:32 pm with geodaughter. I wanted to get out outside so shat better way than to grab a cache or two today. So headed out with the geodaughter and over to this cache as it is relatively close than others. Parked the geovehicle nearby and headed over to GZ. After a quick look in one spot followed the GPS properly and soon had the cache in hand. An interesting way to hide it. Signed the log and then returned cache to its hide spot.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Found with Decrypter. It was a quick park and grab, the cache was easily spotted as we approached GZ. TFTC
#4183 - 19:26; I'd booked an extra day's leave following a trip to Tasmania, so dropped Sol de lune a line about heading out to the Captains Flat trail. fitzy_65 had made a similar enquiry, so it was that the three of us found ourselves out for another caching run.
We had completed the Captains Flat trail and collected a couple of other caches before we stopped off for a bite to eat in Bungendore on our way over to the Lake Road to collect the caches along that stretch of road. It was then back to the ACT to pick up where we had left off on the CCT series on our Leap Day run, then on to the Majura Cycleway, again to pick up where we had left off after earlier visits. That part of the mission completed, the others had reached their centuries for the day, but I was still three short.
This was the third of four on a quick solo run which brought up the ton and saw me end up with a tally of 101 for the day. Whew, made it! TFTC charlieskywalker

Time for a spot of afternoon caching. This one was quickly spotted as it was quite out in the open! Quick find. Thanks charlieskywalker
