Was out & about today making the most of the holidays and picking up a few caches that I've had my eye on for a while. This was one that I stopped off at. This was another fast find - enjoyed a short stroll from the car to GZ and then spotted the little heffalump nestled right where it should be. No problems here today - TFTC
###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Fernandogirls and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Out and about grabbing a few smilies before the rain returns . No luck here. Searched for 30 minutes
Some logs signed as N2O.
This is my 11359find.
Thankyou Fernandogirls for placing and maintaining this cache

The cache name let me know I had the right tree, but I checked every nook and cranny I could find and didn't turn up the cache. From the other comments, it seems this little guy has a habit of wandering from the herd, so I looked around a bit more away from the tree, but still no luck.
Out for a drive to the Hills on a very wet public holiday Monday, the first day of Autumn too. Quickly got saturated in the, at times, driving rain. Enjoyed a hike around Mundy Regional Park, something I had not done in a while, and picked up a number of caches around the Lesmurdie area. At times I was dripping wet, but all in all an enjoyable day.
After circling the correct tree in question, based on the hint provided, I was admittedly a little stumped. After a bit of uncertainty about where the cache could be, I suddenly spotted it. Not sure why it took me so long. It was in plain sight. All was well here today. Cheers Fernandogirls!

This is one of the few we found this time. The coordinates had us looking at a different tree. That could be a possible reason for us not finding some of the others.
We will keep an eye on our DNFs and maybe we will return at some stage to have a look if we are passing by.

A quick drive-by as we added a few kid-free smilies to the map 
. All good with this one ... TFTC Fernandogirls

Out this way today and called in to make another so quick find. All well. Tftc
Spent along time looking here to no avail, but as we were walking back to the path i spotted it just sitting on the ground quite away from where it should have been!! Signed the log and returned it to its rightful location!! TFTC Fernandogirls!
Passed this way a couple of weeks ago, but had barely a minute to spare; my superficial search failed and deservedly so. Came back today and found it after a short search. I won't forget 10 elephants 
TFTC.
TFTC.Gsp kept bouncing around so took a little while to find, nut we got there in the end. Tftc
Took a little bit as GPS took me to the wrong tree, also cache isn't black as indicated, is marginally above ground level and was hidden under a stone.
Found eventually, TFTC

Found while out with Sassonach. One of those that are just around the corner that you never get to but it beats Mt Dale which was also on my list
Out grabbing a few geocaches before the sun sets.
Cache name made a whole lot of sense on approach. Very clever! TFTC!

TFTC! Spent the day out caching with Barnzy12 and krabiBoy. We went to the suburbs of Lesmurdie, Kalamunda and Carmel chasing a number of quick and easy park and grabs, a few
Archived caches, and a few caches that helped fill some DT Grid.
We changed the dynamic up today, Barnzy Drove and i instantly regretted the decision not to take my car however it was due for a service and i was now the navigator. So we picked KrabiBoy up from Bayswater area where he was getting some extra bits added to his car.
We chased a heap of nanos and micro caches in Kalamunda, a few of which seemed to be missing, which was quite frustrating, and we had some DNFs through there. We then avoided other micros in the area and concentrated on some simple park and grabs to get the numbers up for the day.
We then moved our attention to the lesmurdie falls national park and grabbed a few odd caches in there including a nice and simple Earth Cache.
We moved further into lesmurdie area and grabbed a few of the small bunches of caches placed by fernandogirls, which were mostly nice quick grabs. The outback jack series was next which we completed quickly before heading to the car to grab the final in the series, which has been on the radar for far too long.
Thanks to the COs for a Great day out and we can't wait to come back for more!!

We changed the dynamic up today, with Cravos car in for a service we had to take my car and have me drive and him on the Nav, which is an interesting role reversal from the norm. So we picked KrabiBoy up from Bayswater area where he was getting some extra bits added to his car.

We then moved our attention to the lesmurdie falls national park and grabbed a few odd caches in there including a nice and simple Earth Cache. We encountered some decent terrain through the area, which really got the heart racing and even had me forgetting to navigate us to the last cache in a small loop we grabbed!!
We moved further into lesmurdie area and grabbed a few of the small bunches of caches placed by fernandogirls, which were mostly nice quick grabs before turning our attention to the last loop I had left of the outback jack series, which we completed quickly before heading to the car to grab the final in the series, which has been on the radar for far too long.
All in all it was a great day, with many tall tales told and war stories shared. A fair bit of piss take on my driving skills and Cravos navigation skills until we decided to restore order by having Cravo drive my new car! Which thankfully came
Back in one piece.

For a long time, Barnzy12, cravo10 and I have been trying to tee up a day to head out and grab some caches. Finally the planets aligned and we were able to get out and about today.
We headed up the hill to start clearing up some of the caches around Lesmurdie and Carmel.
Barnzy12 spotted this one quickly on approach to GZ.
TFTC Fernandogirls.
Fernandogirls, I found your cache 10 ELEPHANTS on 7/07/2016.

Found while out caching the Lesmurdie area this morning. Nice hide. TFTC Fernandogirls
Cache is still in place, bisons are indestructible! popped a rock ontop for easier finding.
It looks as if a fire went through here recently. Looking at the photo it was definitely after the last find so it might be a good idea for the CO to check it out. It might be a case of Dante's Inferno rather than Senile Dementia.
Visited the falls for taking for some photos around the place. Beautiful day, a nice hike and more ten finds for the day.
A relatively quick find here, TFTH.

Quick find here this morning, the rubber O ring has perished and the log is damp as a result. TFTC
This one took s while to find even though I knew what the hint meant 
. It is well hidden 
I'm Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

On account of staring at my GPS and not watching where I was going, I got poked in the face with a stick immediately on leaving the path. I followed the GPS around in circles for a while, and had a bit of a look around, but then had a closer look at the description, logs and hint.
After some careful counting I identified GZ, and then set about searching every crevice thoroughly. I eventually found the very well hidden cache! Thanks Fernandogirls!

A short walk into the scrubbery had me face to face with the 10 elephants. Searched in the nooks and crannies but could find nothing. Then spotted the bison tube a meter or so away on the ground. All good though. Signed and replaced it back into the centre of the herd.
Thanks for the well named cache Fernandogirls.

I decided to come back up to this area again for a few hours of caching before it got to hot. A quick find with the hint TFTC Fernandogirls
Spotted two new hides on the system this morning so I headed into the hills before work. Good co-ords made for an easy find here at 08:23 on a really nice morning for 'caching.
