###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

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

Like previous finders we found the ziplock bag on the ground so once again placed back in the right spot. TFTC
 
15-Oct-17

Found the log on the ground. It was not in a container, nor a plastic bag. Signed the log and put it where I thought the cache would have been.

Really needs some attention. A new everything, even if using the old log.

19-Feb-17
We found the cache just barely! Cache needs a desperate update in log book and cache container!
 
07-Feb-17
Searched around GZ with no luck, wasn't sure what the hint meant either.
Looked back at previous logs to see that the original container has gone.
Eventually found the log on the ground near a ziplock bag so I placed it in the bag and put it back near where I think the cache is meant to be.

Only found rubbish.

Find #859
Today our destination was Gloucester/Copeland, we took a route far from the most direct, via Dungog and Monkerai, to fill in some gaps in our map. Threatening poor weather had us packing raincoats and spare clothes, but in the end had a beautiful fine day, and only one DNF all day....
What a dicey bridge..... Good to see some work is being done. Quick find in the obvious spot. TFTC PD186

I left work at a reasonable time and set off on a huge detour to clean up a bunch of caches from Paterson to Clarence Town and back home. It took a bit less then three and a half hours to find the eleven caches and get home.
This was my eighth cache for the day. I drove past this on my way to Iggy farm, so I knew there was a good spot to park right next to the cache. Unfortunately, there was only a log, no container. I did not have anything with me, so I Improvised something out of what was lying around on the ground. It does not seal, but will stop it from blowing away.
Thanks for the interesting history and cache!

It was fascinating to read the plaque, and find out about the JohnsTon the bridge was named for. And the cache was an easy find.

Thanks Smile

TFTC.

I turned up in the picinic area to find it full of working muggles, not working !!
Must be lunchtime Razz

I hoped the cache was hidden far enough away to avoid them.
It was !!

Down the muddy path and across the small footbridge I wandered.
The footbridge had been underwater recently [:o]
The track took me to the Brig O johnson Smile
A proper bridge, and as the cache notes informed me, an olde bridge Big Grin

The cache was an easy find nearby [^]

TFTC and history.

I have driven over this bridge by car, ridden over it on a bike, paddled under it in a kayak, and now found a cache at it. Life is complete.
 
09-May-15
