### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Smelly Boot,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

#536. Found with meals 5. Containers has deteriorated so unable to sign log. TFTC!

Certainly requires maintenance. Unable to write in log book.

Found it. It’s lovely out here - the scenery and countryside is beautiful. Unfortunately this container is fairly destroyed and the lid fell apart. The log is all stuck together but we signed the back of the note pad. TFTC and thanks for bringing us out this way!!

Cache is damaged but still easy to find

Our second find for the day and sadly again they cache needs replacing. It was full of water and we weren’t able to sign the book.

Full of water needs replacing

Found but was full of water, needs new container.

found but full of water need replacing

Spotted. Log is water damaged, stuck together. Nice little spot though

The lid to the container has been broken, and a previous finder has left the container upside down in an attempt to keep it all dry. This hasn't worked, and it is obvious that a lot of water has got it. The log book has got very wet in the past, and has now dried to a solid lump of papier mache. It is impossible to separate pages in any way.

New container needed.

#5,745

Found the cache quickly, but it's in bad condition and needs maintenance. Managed to sign the back of the log book.

Namaste

Tftc really needs a new container

Wet needs replacing

The whole thing is very wet. I emptied out the water but the log needs replacing . I enjoyed my drive our here today.

This cache was not difficult to find and we were surprised to find that no one had visited it in over a year. The cache itself was in good condition. We will be adding it to the list of 'unloved' caches we have found. Thank you Smelly Boot for placing this cache and giving us a reason to travel some more back roads and enjoy some caching along the way.

We detoured out to this one before we turned back and continued heading towards Hill End.

Quick and easy. Was watched be Shetland Ponies. Took a turtle and left a army man.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Thanks! Don't forget a small treasure. The Straddie Gang

Tftc, so cold, fingers finging

Well that was a crazy place to be in the dark as the full moon rose through the trees.

Commenced my search thinking I knew what I was looking for. So wrong when I went a bit wider and made the find. Happy to cross another day off. Thanks for bringing me here, got a good look in the full moon light.

I took the detour out to find Belgravia
Sounds European !!
Would I need to speak a foreign language out here ? [:o)]
Turns out I didn't
I just had to turn over a lot of stuff once I found my way into the parking at GZ.
Oh!! The fallen tree has been cleared and the olde road is a drive through again [^]
Meanwhile back at GZ, the cache was not being cooperative
I turned over this and that for a while.
But one obvious spot that I had turned over when I first arrived, finally turned up the cache after a goodly 20 minutes of turning
Aaaahrrrgh !!

TFTC and fun and games in olde Belgravia

So many Stones, maybe next time

A fairly quick find. A tree has fallen across the old road but access is still ok. TFTC

Tricky little blighter but finally turned up the right thing. Thanks Smelly Boot for a nice afternoon out

Nh tftc

Found this partly exposed but it is now covered [^] TFTC Smelly Boot

Thanks for the cache nice and quick find.

Orange 11. Apparently this one was a bit too subtle for me. It took ages to notice the obvious. Oh well, only time. Thanks.

After pulling off on the old road we set off to find this one. After searching all the obvious spots it was time to check the less obvious and bingo there it was although we were half expecting to see a snake there (but that was just down the road on the way to the Kangaroobie Views cache) when we uncovered it.

Thanks for the cache.

Great area and a great cache. Love the hoarders that live nearby as well. TFTC

This one had me stumped for a few minutes until the GPS finally settled and it put me right on top of it.
Then I read the hint...........LOL
Been a long time since I traveled this road. It was dirt all the way back then.

TFTC

Nice easy cache, had to turn around to get to it though.
Found easily enough.
TNLNSL, TFTC.

Took a while but finally found the right spot. TFTC

Lifted everything in sight until the brain kicked in. TFTC

Quick find near an old friends house! RAB

we would not be Routers if we did to miss an old way cache, the booty came to hand in not long at all, we love a good quality quick cache .
Top stuff, thanx Smelly's

After a bit of a search around gz, geoson came up with the goods. TFTC

Just wanted to say thanks to Smelly Boot for this cache because it was our 100th Find and a FTF.
