Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

DNF on this cache today. There is absolutely no way that this cache has survived the wet season at the start of the year and it needs archiving.

Damn, I think Maroon has flooded itSad. No one has logged anything since well before our beloved Maroon got full after 15 years of drought. I'm not Blue about it as Maroon has won the last 5 SoO's on the trot Big Grin. Sorry about that Blues.
Would it be possible for owner to check this cache?
7 out of 8 for the day. Not bad for a couple of senior cachers. Picked some lovely mushrooms from the area surrounding the car park and had some for supper. Capped off a wonderful day.

Definitely not a place to get marooned today… the place was very busy with lots of picnickers, and people boating and swimming. I guess that’s what you get when you come here on a beautiful Easter Saturday.

It was nice to see the dam almost full and the surrounding areas green and lush.

Thanks for the cache.

Our first night find! We stopped by on the way through after a day up Mt Lindesay. A good place to have dinner! Fires burning brightly up the side of what we thought was Mt May. Glad we're not going up there this time! Dropped off Autumn Bear so he can have a view of the lake in the day light.

We were here for a spot or orienteering and as the cache was on the map we didn't resist the opportunity to walk down the hill to log our visit. Didn't bring any swaps so TNLN but enjoyed the views - pity about the low level of the dam. TFTC.

08-Apr-07
this was our first find, good thing it was easy well....

five of us paddled from the other end of the dam in our canoe, going back was tough into a head wind, umm it was tough in bare feet, must remember shoes next time and make sure your three year old really wants to make the trip.

Josh 5yo was the leader, Jess 10yo, patch 3yo my mate stew and me 110_weeds. took two dice, left pen and soory about the scourer its still in my pocket. josh was happy as he seen it first.
