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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

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)

It does not appear from logs that the CO has visited this cache recently, so it is being Disabled to remove it from search lists.

**There needs to be a response to this situation (or intentions indicated) within 14 days, 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

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) 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 information/advice posted above.

Couldn't find this one

Don’t think it’s here.

Fence has been replaced

Fence has been replaced

Hint doesn’t make sence but good find

Tftc - nice easy find

Great collection of caches. Lovely Walk!

Found while walking lake track and staying at nearby scout camp. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers
Dkmacca

Done fence

Found it

Again our etrex was very accurate and a short geotrail made it a quick find. TFTC

TFTC!

TFTC

Off the track a bit, but a quick enough find! Tftc

Can’t find. Grass too long?

A bit trickier, but still a fairly quick find. TFTC!

Took a while but found it!

Maybe the grass was too long but not there. Hint?

Spent a bit of time here but could not locate it.

Hint is misleading, no find for us today.

This one took triple the time it should have. We looked at previous posts which kind of helped but then also made us overthink it a bit.
Our advice is to follow advice, and don't get too clever! TFTC

Reading past finds helped to find it

TFTC. nice day for a walk and some geocaching

TFTC

Very hard took a while

Tftc

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

No luck for us today

Tftc a bit tricky. Co-ords a bit off but we got it and Posted it back.

No find for us

TFTC....this one took some time and persistence to find but we found it, not sure the hint is that good but the other logs were more helpful

Quick find, after a few previous attempts. TFTC

Too many muggles passing by, may have to try another time.

In Orange overnight for work and decided to introduce some young cousins who live locally to the world of caching. A great morning with not a single DNF. Thanks to all the cache owners in town.

This was a quick find after reading through some past logs. TNLN TFTC

Very flooded and couldn't get close to fence to have a look


TFTC

Too wet.

Ground was extremely wet (essentially just a giant puddle) and didn't have much time left before the gates would be closed so after a quick search had to give it a miss. Will definitely be back to find it!

11232. 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.

After finishing the GB Loop we headed over to do the Lake Walk/Ride Loop. After dropping off the car we walked the rest of the series. This one took a while and not at GZ or iaw the clue. Got some wet feet as i finally located this one. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again Squick !! Another enjoyable series !

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!

Well this one took a fair bit of searching! Going by previous logs we had an idea where to look. Fitzy braved some soggy feet at this one and persisted with the search to come up with an understandably soggy find. Angel popped a new log in after we'd signed it

Thanks for the hide, Squick

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.

38th for the day at 1045 (42nd for the trip). Time to embark on another series by Squick - a lovely day for a walk and enjoy the lake. This one was a tough one to find. Looking a previous logs, we knew the hint did not apply, but it still took a fair bit of poking and wet feet before Fitzy made the find. The log was mush, so we popped a new log in the container. We ended up in sync with another group of walkers that made the finding a bit more awkward! Thanks Squick for the series.

To flooded

I think it's too much water

Near fence not near track

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.
Add the others mentioned, the track has changed, and the cache is now by the fence.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it no room to write in log!

Looked everywhere

TFTC. My dad was a postie.

Hint didn't make much sense but using a hint from a previous log I did it soon enough - tftc!

Awesome! Found it.

Awesome! Found. - FxF.

No need to stop an double check this one. Quick find. Log has enough room for two more signs is you right small. TFTC

This one was difficult as nothing corresponded with the hint. The previous log assisted and the cache can be found at the POSTed co-ordinates, down low and be careful of splinters, thanks.

Thought it left with the bridge but we FOUND it TFTC

Thanks for the help. Nothing like a postie tftc

3:17:04 PM:
No luck finding this cache.

Thought it couldn’t be under the solid gravel path. See the photo.

I think this is MIA

I think this is MIA

A little hard finding a cache under a bridge that has been removed

Metal track/bridge removed. Replaced with sand and gravel. Geocache not found...

Thanks to Paul for using his initiative and placing the cache where it could be found.

A great place to rest run or cyclel fish or what ever. Thanks Squick for this cache.

To bring up the #1800 milestone, we celebrated with a chilly ride round the lake. It was great to be able to get out on the bikes in between the snow and the sleet. Thanks for setting this great series up!

Thanks to the hippy that saved this container, which has lost its original habitat - it would have been buried. Still where that hippy put it.

TFTC Squick

Track is being resurfaced found cache in open beside track. Moved to wooden pole at fence. Tffc

Need to update info with track being rebuilt.

Between #10 and #11 I discovered the reason for the "Track temporarily closed" signs and the muddy tyre tracks along the trail
The section of boardwalk here is being replaced !!
Only the support beams and the ramp at the southern end remain.
Looks like a new surface will be put on top

The cache was found still in its hiding spot
Despite most of the boardwalk around it having disappeared.

I did fear for the caches continued existence in its present spot though !!
Once the new deck goes on there is likely to be a few drills put through the support beams and this cache was in the firing line [:o]

I moved it a few metres to the ramp at the end of the soon to be a boardwalk again.
It should be safe there as it looks like the ramp is not going to be touched.
Funnily enough, that put the cache closer to where my GPS said GZ was

So all good !!

Track is till dismantled right at GZ. Workers at other end. No luck with finding at this end, either.

Didn't find this one but the walking track that was here has been dismantled still had a good look though on what was remaining with no success

Quick find

Gotya , easy find after a quick search

Quick find on a pleasant walk
SL TFTC

Brought my bike up from Canberra for a couple of days in Orange with my wife, and after riding the loop around the old race track, I headed over to give this one a go. A few drive bys to start with, but once at number 5, I hit this trail. Completed it in a little over an hour and all though I DNF'd number 9....all was good.

Enjoyed this ride a little more than the the race track, but only because of the views over the water and wildlife/bird life spotted while out there. A pleasant way to spend a bit of time......

Thanks Squick...another good fun series that I hope is around for a while. Fav point added for these ones as well.

Cubs found this hard geocache take that yeah

Tftc by novice cacher

Not to hard, took about 5 minutes. Clever hide nice camouflage.

Found it in about 5 minutes and eventually our Uncle found it, sneaky hide Squick.

#2155 got it in the end, thanks

I inexplicably DNF'd this one in February so, as we were up in Orange for Christmas, I returned today with YGAT to find it. On arriving at GZ she pointed to a spot and I immediately had CIH! That's the series finally completed.

Thanks Squick, please accept a favourite for your excellent series.

Upon arriving at the lake we went straight to this one so that I could assist Mr MR rectify his February DNF and complete the series. I don't know what he was doing in February but the cache was right where I thought it would be. SL, TFTC Squick.

Gotcha Tftc

Nice hide. Tftc

#146, 15:50, Found it with Cachebox!

I have to say I have spent some time on this series now but this was a first. trying to find this in the dark with only phone torch. quite a spooky place really.

Had sussed out a spot to get in and not worry about the gates closing on me so the walk was not too far. very happily for me I made a quick find. The wallaby on the bridge did make me jump though.

Thanks for the series, I have enjoyed them all, getting bashed up a few times with DNF's and some other weird caching stuff going on. Have made my mission to get all my dates on my calendar a little easier.

SL TFTC fav point, for the series.

After tackling the Gnoo Blas series we thought that we would follow up with the Lake Walk/Ride set combined with a visit to the Pinnacle. Once again some enjoyable walks on another great autumn day. Thanks Squick for the effort you have put into setting up these two caching series.

Tricky hide but luckily got it in first minute.
Great day to be out on the trail.

Thanks for the hide.

Tricky but eventually got it

Another lying down on the job cache. Easy find TFTC

Found this 1 A OK – luckily it wasn’t too wet under foot - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Find #11 of 16. We had a great day out. Enjoyed the the walk, especially the shady trees and the occasional breeze. It was a warm day. Thanks Squick for this set of caches.

Find #11 of 16. A pleasant day out with friends and some gentle exercise as we walked around the lake. I'm glad it wasn't in the really hot weather. TFTC

We were glad to have a few in our group to search all the possibilities of this hide and eventually came up with the goods.
