As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

I checked this one the other day while we were at the park.
I am still waiting for the "Sign" to be replaced so I can reinstate this cache.

I have removed the cache from the location as the main part of the sign is gone (as per previous log) and it is clearly visable for anyone to muggle it.
Also it seems that there is work being done on this sign as the base has been dug out to get ready for a concrete base to be put in so i will keep an eye on the location and replace the cache when there is not so much happening at GZ.

A quick find because of the helpful hint. Smoothed the log out and rerolled as it had been fitted back with some difficulty. We now realise these caches have recently been found by a group of children trying out geocaching- that's great!

Countdown to our 1000 ...6...
