Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current Covid-19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache straight away, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO.

**You do need to respond within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this cache. Please don't let a lack of communication kill this placement.**

Found. I was very glad that I found this cache as I needed to fill a gap in my calendar and hadn't been able to find 3 caches before this one. It is a bit off the beaten track but the views are certainly spectacular. I left a couple of travelbugs that I have been carting around for a while. TFTC

Day #4 for me of the cache adventure with OzHockeyChick, GeoTurtle37 and Papi4506. It was to be a day of kms as i seek to fill in Map 14 for the UBD challenge and collect a few caches with some nice views along the way.

Missed the first turn off so went the long way to this one. Found a place to park and had the cache in hand soon after.

Thanks nayrman for the cache.

#3784 No clouds in the sky for us today on Gentle Road, just jet streams and haze from a number of bushfires burning in the hills nearby. Pleasant enough weather though today and after parking tight left on the roadside, Mr BGF was sent to hunt the cache container, snuck up on it by crawling the last bit before quickly nabbing it! Gotchya! TFTC nayrman and the interesting notes about the location.

After the last few hot days I have poked around town an found the off cache, but with the temperature well below 30 and the kids at the pool I decided to go for a drive and chose to head around Lake Hume to pick up a few caches. Can't take Geokid #2 on this road - this is another of the many local roads here has puked on during a family outing! It tried to rain on me a couple of times, but was a successful trip with all caches (except one as noted) in good condition.

On the way home now and back down another road (on the way to Talangawambathankyoumamba) I had never been on. Parking not great, but got the Kluger off the road far enough to be safe (and nothing came past anyway). Straight to hiding hole and used the convenient TOTT to scratch in the camo to revela the nice large cache. Signed and on my way home. Plenty of clouds to the south - dropping some needed rain as well.

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that regular 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) 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 20th July,** 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 20th July). 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, it is likely that I will need to Archive it 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 instructions posted above.

Last find for the day. Soon located the hiding spot only to see the cache container full of water. The log was damp but we managed to sign it. Needs new container (or a lid) and a new log.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

My geo-wife being a Mel Gibson fan there was no way I wasn’t making a detour to this one today. Good size cache, TNLN thanks.
 
28-Sep-17
We had a hankering for a few smilies during the school holidays so we pointing the car to the border and left Melbourne behind yesterday. Lovely view from here. Thanks for placing CLOUDS on Gentle Road so we could find it. Cache was all good.
Thanks nayrman for the caching fun.

Found on an afternoon drive . Love discovering new areas... a quick find with great views. Picked up a trackable but it hadnt been logged. Trackable now logged and will continue on its journey
 
16-Jan-17
After a mix up with times we ended up with a few extra minutes. This was the only hide within cooee of where we needed to be so we headed up to grab this one. Quickly found and signed the log with FB03 before heading back to our meet up point. TFTC nayrman
 
19-Sep-16
What spectacular views. So much water around after recent heavy rain.
Cache a bit damp. Left TB TFTC nayrman
 
21-Aug-16
Lovely spot. Have driven past a dozen times. Took "de valk" to continue its journey. We got a nice break in the weather to see some nice sunshine along the Kiewa valley. TFTC
 
20-Apr-16
It seems this one is quite a busy cache so we left another TB ("de Valk") for others to grab and continue its journey. The log shows "Joey Travels to World" as being still there but it's not so I guess the previous cachers have yet to log that they have picked it up (although they logged finding this cache!?!) Pretty dry around here and the feed in the fields look pretty poor for stock. Post summer in Victoria again I guess.

TFTC! Stunning view and our first trackable!
 
04-Apr-16
I was in the area for work and afterwards decided that I wanted to find a cache and take the long way back to my accommodation for the evening.

This was the closest cache to my location, so I thought, why not?

Once at GZ I knew where to look, and it was right there!! but the real impressive part was the view across from the cache!! What an amazing view!! had to take some pictures whilst I was there

took trackable, dropped trackable, signed log

A long weekend and another trip with the geo 'rents and geobro'. What a cool way to spend Easter Cool
Headed for Albury for 2 nights and then Bendigo for 1 night and we took each day as the caches came. A turn here, a turn there, a dirt track here and there and miles and miles of bitumen [^]
LOL, I've just seen one of geobro's cache logs and it reads very much like mine SurprisedWink
Although he forgot to mention that he not so kindly shared his viral germs with geomum and I! [xx(]
Today (day 2) I found 76 caches Smile and had 4 DNFs Sad

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

We convinced geodad and geo mum that this cache needed to be found, despite the short detour Wink
A quick and easy find of a larger sized cache which made a change from the nearby rail trail Smile
Great views here and well worth the drive in Cool

TNLN. SL. TFTC nayrman Smile

An awesome spot - loved the view. TFTC

We're off on a four day geofamily (Geodad: moneydork, Geomum:Tounga, Geosis: locus cache and geobro: ME) road trip adventure heading to Albury and Bendigo. A lot of miles were covered, many sights seen, lots of laughs, mirth and merriment during the trip. Oh, we found a few caches along the way as well.

Another easy cache. Dropping Kirkey4 TAKTag TB to start travels in fresh hands.

I didn't see the 'Joey travels the world' trackable in this cache.  Since it's been some time since the trackable was placed here I'd say that it has unfortunately gone missing. As the owner of this cache you can mark the trackable as missing.  This action will remove it from the cache inventory and place it in the great cache in the sky.

Thanks for the cache navrman.

[:(!] When you have nothing to do, what better way of filling in the day is to going caching, and this was one of them, parked the geoKa as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and in a matter of minutes it was in hand.

There were no clouds to be seen on this day, nothing but blue skies. We pulled as far of the road as possible and found the cache laying just out of its hidey hole. With the log signed we covered it up a bit better before heading on.

Plenty of clouds about today!
A very cold wintery day, but no rain luckily made for a quick find by the Ez kids.
A nice place for a Sunday drive.
