Hi Team-BF,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Not the full cache but some pieces that may have made up the old cache.
a blue pencil a plastic bag and a scrap piece of paper.
Will be back again.

Out caching with a muggle family to introduce them to the game. With 3 different muggles impersonating the troll nothing was found except for the blue pencil observed in the photo of a previous activity post. Perhaps this cache could have gone missing & should be checked.
Unfortunately no luck with this one either with the size of this we should have found it will come back again could just be cache blindness .
Happy to pronounce it's high and dry after this rain event. Lucky I had a torch on my mobile- it's 6.15 and pretty dark!
Out and about caching around Forest Lake with Selva Girls for a few hours finding caches that needed to change to a smiley yellow faces. Enjoyable day was had and thank you to CO for placing the cache and bringing us to the location. Cache found and log signed. TFTC
Parked right by GZ and made the short walk over.
Got lucky and picked the right spot to inspect first. Manoeuvred around the dead spider and reached in for the cache.
TFTC!

I wandered along the path from the park and realised I could’ve parked a lot closer. Something dove into the drain when I went under but I didn’t see it. Container quickly spotted. Thanks for the cache
I had a wander around The Woods today picking up some caches. Easy find - a little damp but the logbook was dry in its plastic bag. Tftc
Tftc. Was found in a very exposed area and susceptible to water. Have moved to a slightly more secure spot about 2 metres away. Happy hunting.
Found but it wasn’t covered so we covered it up - just sitting in open TFTC nice and fun
Had I checked the logs I might not have driven all the way here, but figured as I was here I might as well have a look. Was surprised to spy the cache straight away, once I got down to the right level, but retrieving it was more difficult with injured shoulders. I had to lie down on the ground work clothes to extract the cache. It's nice and dry, beautiful clean log book too. TFTC
Thanks for the troll cache Amelie. Also thanks to Patrol14 for the cleanup + new log xx
Easy find. Dried container and added new logbook a pencil and some swaps.
Photograph is of old, wet logs.

Out this way for work, picked up another cache while in the area.
The logbook is almost pulp, managed to make a mark in it.
Picked up a TB that deserves better than this.
Thanks for hiding

Found it right after giving up!
The container is no longer water proof, needs new ziplock bag and the note is too wet to sign. NEEDS MAINTENANCE

The geodaughter and I parked up nearby and headed toward gz. I began looking in one spot while she started in another and called out "Got it!". Name added to the log and off to the next one. Tftc Bell-Fuller's!
Out this afternoon to see if we can find some caches and we were nearby. A nice quick find here, log is a bit wet but was able to sign. Signed log & replaced. TFTC
Regarding Amelie's Troll Bridge (GC3TE0D):
3rd of the day found with wifey, by me (wifey was a bit afraid of the retrieval).
Probably a small more than a regular. Also, needs a new log and ziplock bag, moisture has already penetrated it.

Attacked this one from the wrong end. (Will have to set up the gps the same as the old one I'm used to!) Eventually spotted the container, but had trouble retrieving it because it slipped into a hollow which was hard to reach. Persistence won in the end, and I added my name to the log. No sign of the grumpy old troll today, Amelia, just a grumpy old cacher! TFTC, Bell-Fuller's.

Sunday. Mr SP was out with No1Scotty following a game of golf at Oxley. We parked near GZ and had a look around for this one. Scott spotted it and I went in for the retrieval, but only succeded in knocking it further into the abyss. A further attempt pushed it further out of reach. Scott had to come to the rescue with his longer arms and in the process got his white golf shirt all dirty!
This was the 14th of 14 caches found on today's trip.
Thanks ***Team-BF***, for showing us this place.

Out with Slow Puncture today, after retrieving the previous three finds, to allowed Luke to retrieve this one. He promptly knocked it further into a hiding place to an almost unreachable destination. good onya spook
On my way to visit a friend from work in the neighbourhood some manoeuvring over rocks but got there. All dry now thanks.
Found lid but container washed down the creek from the rain. No contents or log to be found. Put container back together just under the bridge.
Tftc. There was a lovely lizard basking in the sun, but I couldn't get close enough for a photo. What a beautiful little place.
