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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

This one took a while to find. GPS was not our friend, but went back to the original spot where we thought it would be and wham, bam, thank you mam, we finally had Cache in hand. Many thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL
No good here, hate to finish my day with a dnf but i have enough scratches for one day , the gps has me all over the shop , ill be back this way again im sure
I was headed the right way today
So parking and find this cache was easy, ay !!
As for the cameras,
do they still work ?? [:o]
They seem a bit superfluous on a byway !!
Though I'm sure if they are still active,
they are catching more speedsters than they ever did when this was the main drag

spent about 15 minutes at this one, but the phone couldn’t agree on one point so i was poking around blind. thanks anyway
Travelled down the coast to venture out with friends to wander along the old highway and some byways. We completed it over two days with ozglory joining us for the first day out and only bobbiesgirl and I on the second. Great weather both days made for 2 great days of caching. Thanks so much to both COs for placing this series for us to enjoy and remember the not Forgotten Highway!
Having nibbled away at the southern end of this intriguing series it was time to make a full on assault to find the rest and have a trip down memory lane. With the completion of the dual carriageway between Port Macquarie and Coffs finally done and dusted, it makes you realize what an absolute goat track our major east coast highway really was. Found in the company of ozglory and joojoo57. And, of course, having just re read the description, have to say we had to straddle the wire road divider as we were heading south. Lucky the road was pretty quiet and no injuries occurred in said straddling The generic nature of my logs in no way detracts from my enjoyment and appreciation of the time and effort that goes into a geotrail such as this. Well done.
Found at 10:50 AM GAFF 1.
Thought that I had really messed up with the GPSr here as I thought the description said that the cache was "at" one of the speed cameras. Found it 25 metres away right where the GPsr said it would be
Thanks Anissa288.

Out & about on a sunny day perfect for finding a few caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL
Thanks for placing this cache Anissa288

Making a last minute run to get that blasted turtle. Thank goodness for all the new caches. 3477 2:35:00 PM Anissa288 without cachers like you we would have no game. Thank you. TNLN SL
Have made camp at Macksville rest stop. We headed back north to do a section of the forgotten highway. We had a couple of DNFs a number of FTFas well. Co-ords seem to be quiet good. I can imagine all the hard work that went into placing this series & then the frustration of waiting for them to be published.
Thanks for placing this cache Anissa288
