Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**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 **27th 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 27th 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.

Quick tftc

Sorry wrong one. Must of been in a rush. Tree missing.

Pretty sure the tree this was hidden next to has been cleared

Looked high and low. Followed the hint. Still a DNF for this one

This was a DNF even after a lengthy search... looks like construction have destroyed the area

Our 2nd cache for the day and already a DNF. Thanks anyway.

We agree with the previous DNF. Looked fat and wide. Compared with old find photo, and the rocks have been moved and the base of the tree is bare now. Could not find cage elsewhere either.

Sorry to say that this was a DNF even after a lengthy search.

Tftc

Tftc easy find

Tftc. Doing the round of the park. Great series.

Quite easy to find

Tftc

TFTC!

Things can look a little rocky

Another park and grab find for me at this cache today. TFTC.

Heading to Orange, picking up a few caches along the way. TFTC

Beautiful day in Orange. tftc

Was made to find without kids help lol lucky it was a good one

Aunty Sam got this one all on her own. Good job- great day- taking out some geo newbies !!!

Easy done

Hi there Squick.

We found your cache **"Gnoo Blas #2"** today. (This makes our find count 17908).

Today we headed out from Bathurst to attempt the "Gnoo Blas" racing circuit in Orange, plus any others we came across on our travels. We started at #1 and went anti-clockwise around the circuit, proceeding to log most of the caches before heading back to camp. In hindsight we thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but were really disappointed that we had to produce so many "Needs Maintenance" logs.

Please excuse our cut-n-paste logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 16 caches today & DNF'd 11. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** Most containers and log books were in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

An easy find.

Nice walk along the track, good hiding spot.

1 of 15 found on a trip to Orange...TFTC!

I'm heading home to Canberra from Brisbane where I was visiting my Mum who has just had a hip replacement. She is 92, and going great guns, with walking much easier than when I last saw her. As a domestic slave, I am had an easy time - Mum didn't need much care which is great, so I did a little geocaching and walking with my GeoSchnauzers. I spent most of my time walking with Mum and ferrying her around. Had to give her needles for a couple of weeks too. Brought back memories of daily injections for my deceased wife, for her multiple sclerosis.

We're in Orange. We drove here yesterday throuh heavy rain for the final quarter of the trip. I have developed a cold, and am going to saty for two nights. Today I am bludging in my room, with a walk in the park late in the day after the sun comes out.

Another nice easy find while enjoying the walk. It is starting to get a bit chilly.

Find no 4 of 5 today.

Thanks, Squick

Easy find. Found with mrsflylo126

Easy find found with jessicabmaggs93

Good

TaurusSix and I found this cache. The log book was only a scrap of paper, but effective.

Found it

It was getting late this afternoon but I really wanted to cache on. Mr GT was getting annoyed so I thought, he would love to see the old race track. Sadly his interest only lasted a minute upon arriving at the first of this series. I only got to find the first 2 before he made it clear it was time to go home.
I will be back to complete the course eventually.

Travelling around the circuit randomly doing caches.

Took a picture of the strange fungus growth we found here ... a bit eerie really.

T4TC Squick.

I had mixed success around this circuit today, but still enjoyed the experience and the exercise!

TFTC's Squick!

A little exposed so added some extra camo

TFTC

No log so temporary one added. TFTC

Found it!

Bathurst to Orange
We have set up camp at the showground overnight. We completed the lake walk in the morning then onto the Gnoo Blast in the afternoon, finishing with a tiki tour of the country side before heading home.
Thanks for placing this cache Squick

TFTC easy find

TFTC log book wet

Found and logged

Nice walk around the pond lol

Fairly easy find yay

11202. Headed up to the Orange region with AngelG27, Sol de Lune and specimenX ("FASS") for a fun-filled weekend of caching. Lots of caches found, a few not found, and a lot of laughs had as we toured around over 2 full days as far north as Wellington which resulted in 124 finds for me.

An early start and after a quick stop for brekkie we arrived at the GB loop to get some big-ish numbers early on today. Interesting bit of motoring history around here. Quick find at GZ which is always good on a caching run like today. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again Squick !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Found as part of an Orange and surrounds geomission with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & Sol de Lune (signed as FASS to save time & space ) Top weather, great company and lots of laughs meant for an epic weekend of caching all round!

Yet another quick find for us at GZ [^]

Thanks for the hide, Squick

Take 50c leave hand clapper

Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX, Sol de Lune and I (logged as "FASS") headed from Canberra to Orange and surrounds for a caching blitz over the 30-31 July weekend. We logged around 1000kms in the Geo-Jeep, selecting those caches that Fitzy had not previously found. I scored around 130 caches for the trip. The visit was characterised by blue skies, very green paddocks, lots of water off and on the road, a fair amount of mud, and good company! Still plenty of caches to collect and scenic spots to explore on a return trip. Thanks to my fellow travellers for a fun weekend, and the COs for all their efforts in putting out and maintaining the caches.

5th for the day at 0800 (10th for the trip). A chilly start to the day - Fitzy and I walked the first few caches to get some blood moving. A quick find at GZ. Thanks Squick for this nice series!

TFTC log wet, signed and off again

Found

A lovely sunny afternoon with a reasonable temperature for a winter day in Orange, so what better way to spend it than to do this circuit on foot. Thanks Squick.

Found it with geo girl

Nice quick & easy find while taking a break in Orange on my trip from Sydney to Mumbil. I really wanted to complete this power trail which I'd discovered while doing some GC research before heading off in this trip. Great series - loved it! TFTC

Orange trip April 2016. The day started off wet and stayed wet, but I had a mission. On my way back to town I picked up two caches then waited for a break in the weather. When it had dried enough to get the bike out I started my lap of the circuit. 19/20 found one wet and un loggable. It was great to learn about this old facility.

Thanks.

Found it . TFTH. SL.

Ask me if you want to know what name I **signed the log book** transferring finds to this new caching name. Was OCW and as part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch. TFTC.

I found this cache jointly with TOC and now I have my own account I am claiming my fair share of the finds. I can cache on my own now. As I didn't have a caching name so there's no log book for me. Thank you for the hide.

Found it

Found it

This was an interesting series to look for. Most were found but a few we let go when it was raining too much.
This cache was an easy find and after the log was duly signed the cache was replaced where it had been found. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing a nice series around here.

My third day off an Easter camp caching holiday at Carcoar dam. Today I had gone towards Orange for a couple of power trails and the various caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache.

While staying in Bathurst we came over to Orange to do a number of caches. Due to the number completed I am doing a generic comments. This I hope does not offend the CO's, had a great time locating all. TFTC

Though we didn't find all, muggles stopped us from some searches as well as the very hot day - we had lots of fun doing this series. Thanks for bringing us to an interesting area of Orange.

We have finally completed this series of caches. It has taken me a few years as I only have a short amount of time when visiting Orange for work, so can only find a few each time. Well done and have enjoyed reading about the history of the race circuit, TNLN thanks.

Found!

Visiting Orange for the weekend and a day after the big snow fall, its was still a bit chilly but bearable even though somewhat damp in places. I had some time in the morning so decided to have a go a the Gnoo series, which was pretty good, a few caches missing or needed maint. but on the whole good.

Nice quick find. Trying to find as many before i freeze. TFTC

Quickly found. Tftc

Nice quick find.

nice easy start to the day, found in 3.2 seconds, unlike the previous attempt at the old cache, many thanx

6582 Caches Found

After having a really slack month only found two so far this month, Decided a little road trip was in order to rectify the situation. So rumbled down te thin black line early morning heading down to the Big Smoke and then West to Lithgow, Mudgee, Gulgong, Wellington, Orange then Bathurst heading home. Nice Cache, Thanks for the Adventure

Thanks for the great cache Squick(8D)

Found this cache while in Orange for a Vintage Car Rally over the weekend.
Thanks Squick for the hide.
The Bushies.

Enjoy Gnoo Blas series runs before heading to east.
Thanks for the great trail and caches.

Thanks for the placement, another one found on this interesting and historical circuit.

Another one I walked straight past at first. Got it. TFTC

In Orange for a couple of days with my wife, and while she was out doing her thing, I hit this trail. Only took 90 minutes to get around the loop, but did DNF numbers 1 and 9...with number 18 in behind the construction site fence, so no go there.

Enjoyed the ride, the caches and the history lseeon. Thanks Squick...a good fun series that I hope is around for a while. Fav point added. (Cut n Paste logs now kick in...)

Easy find. TFTC
