It's time for this cache to be put to bed.
Also, it is to make room for anyone to place a cache in the area.

Happy Geocaching

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Poiter.h,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please **post a Write Note log every 4 to 6 weeks,** so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Not sure if this has gone missing. Like others we found a ball but not the right one it seems.

Don’t know that I was looking in right spot but only bogeys for me today. Tftc anyway Poiter.h

Found a golf ball that had rolled away into the bush but no cache.

found A golf ball, but not THE golf ball

????

Found it

Bit of a bush bash but fount it TFTF

Almost a hole in one.

Out again for a caching morning in the excellent company of Tiz13 with the target to find caches along the rail trail Guessed what I’d be seeking but wasted too much time as the phone had me way off target TFTC Poiter.h

Awesome!!

Nice one, finished this arvo’s hunt with a find . Well hidden

.

Yippee. First find for me, 4th for the family today. Did a sneaky photo check and it was found.

We had a good idea what we were looking for but no success this time.

Cool thing to hide it in but good find

Very wet log. Needs some TLC. TFTC

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so I decided to head out for a day out of the house and a nice walk along the Moe - Yallourn rail trail, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves, sanitizer and mask. I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Coordinates had me in the bush finding golf balls protected by barb wire, I back tracked and there really is no need to leave the track on this one. Four.

Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.

A little way from the coordinates, found a red herring ball closer to the actual coordinates. This took a bit of hunting and reading through previous posts to find. Tftc

Found wet

Found a golf ball, but I think not the golf ball. Better luck next time!

Didn’t find

Sneaky two golf balls, found it

This one was also really fun with my dad

Tftc

The first time I had visited this rail trail so it was good to grab a few caches along a pleasant walk albeit a bit damp under foot. thanks poiter.h for your well themed cache.

Tricky.. the previous logs were helpful. TFTC

Tftc Mr Poiter. Am wondering whether this should be a 3 stroke penalty given the other objects I found in the area.
Slowly getting all of your caches on the MTY rail trail which I regularly do my running on, probably annoying the crap out of other cachers when I do so. Today, given the wintry blast we're having, I was surprised to see other people out and about.

Cache still in good nick by the way.
Mind you when I

Caching around moe with day1976.

I had to be in Moe today to drop something off and so Ilukaperi and I decided to make a geocaching trip of it.

Another one of those weird items.

Caught the dogs interest with this one. As soon as I picked it up it was play time. Quick easy find. Tftc

An easy find. Had a giggle. It's the one cache the dog took an interest in. Tftc

First one of these - well done. TFTC

Out for a bit of walk with Trodectus, #3 of 4 for today. Arrived GZ and stated searching, read previous logs and realised we too were in too deep. After restarting search, quickly came up with cache. Log signed and returned. TFTC

3rd find while out for a walk with Coybear2000. We arrived at GZ and headed into the bush. We started searching, while a muggle rode past on a pushbike. After a while C read a few previous logs and we changed tactic and soon after had CIH. TFTC.

It looks like the storm has roughed up the trail along here... luckily the cache was easily found. TFTC

Found it!

Very creative

Good find

??

After searching last time much deeper in the bush. I looked for the most likely spot and found it. A very unlikely container as I saw it last rime but didn’t pick it up. Very clever

Spent lots of time in bush

Joint find by 7497...

A big thank-you to Teammoss5 & grannygeo64, for preforming cache maintenance for me.

Happy Geocaching

Poiter.h

The log is wet and jammed in. Needs new log.

Out for a stroll while the geokids ride their bikes.
TFTC.

Coords had me much deeper into the rough for a while but checked an obvious spot and there it was. Logbook quite tatty but ok for now. TFTC.

Waterlogged
Great spot

Was a bit of a mission but found, great hide thanks

2nd find for the day. Log was damp and pencil didn't really work on it. But a good hide.

Searched but give up for me DNF

Another quick grab for today TFTC

Went back for this sucker today... and wouldn't you know it.... had my hands on it within seconds... it's always the way.. glad to have a smiley on this one now ) TFTC

Poiter.h

No luck today!

Found by Geo kids and muggle Nanna, they were walking Nanna's dog Missy and our Geo kids suggested they do some of the trail. Its taken awhile to work out exactly which caches they found as they didn't log found strait away and it was unclear. All sorted now. TFTC Poiter.h its always nice to find one of your caches

Is it likely this one has been muggled???

Couldn't find today

Searched high, searched low. No go

No luck here

No luck with this one

nice hide love the container found while out for a stroll tftc

Nice one! Tftc found with NoonaB

Haha, looked for quite a while for this one, ignoring my GPS thinking "it won't be in there...". It was. Great container, I haven't seen one of these before! Thanks for the hide

Found on par lol

Quick find. TFTC.

Good find. But log book is wet. Mite have to look at this one

Found @ (1414) 2200 GAFF1 Found it WET earlier in the afternoon, and I don't know what 'pen' geodude used, but his entry went through at least 3 pages of the saturated micro log book. I didn't have anything suitable to try and squeeze any water out with, so hung it as opened as I could, over a small twig, where I had the cache. Then came back at 10pm to write on it, and to tuck it back into bed. Only moist now; so it still needs a good drying out.
Not too many users of the trail, and I was the only pedestrian; apart from a close encounter near Reed Deemer.

Gps was out a bit for this one so took a bit of searching and cache was found. Log is extremely wet but still managed to sign it. TFTC!

Found after eventually ignoring where my phone was trying to send me and just searching in all the obvious spots. Thanks for the cache

Had water in dryed it out log book wet

Good one

Quick find one this one tftc with grannygeo64

Great hide found with lilmissgeo

Ok

Catching up on some late logs.

Out caching with D@geo & SQAU on Sunday.

This is the 6th cache of the day.
This is my 1306th cache all up.

Thank you for the hide Poiter.h

Out on a Sunday road trip caching with gwd.aussie @ sqau.

Another find for the day and one closer to reaching my November Mega Event target.

Thanks Poiter.h

Finished work early so I thought its a good time for some caches, easy find signed log & replaced. TFTC

After this one eluding me a few months ago, it has since been replaced (yay!) so I finally had another opportunity to tackle it with kyabbott's lovely company for the walk. We did a bit of bush scrambling where we thought it should be and then had a quick glance in the obvious spot... lo and behold, there it was! Hoorah! Much simpler container than the original or so I'm told by kyabbott who already has this one on her found list but satisfying all the same to knock it off the trail. Thanks for the cache poiter.h!

I have signed this cache before but in a different location.( oh I think I was the owner of this cache.) so didn't resign as I have already got my name on the log. Thanks Poiter or is it thanks me for donation of the cache.

Found it

??

Second DNF in a row. Couldn't find after a brief search. TFTC anyway!

Finally found this cache. All geared up for a tough search when 3 seconds into the search geochild came up with the goods. Thanks. Silkyie

Cache replaced

Happy hunting

Its Just a step to the right......

On a maintenance run of the rail trail.

This cache has gone O.O.B..

I will replace it soon.

Poiter.h

Stumped us. Will be back.

Looked high and low no luck today. Before leaving home I decided that I would throw my bike in the van so I could tackle the MTY Trail after finishing the 2 jobs I had in Moe toady.thanks Poiter.h

Epic Fail [B)]

Oh the frustration. I approached this one as the last one in the series for me to find and knew exactly what I was looking for. I even turned my attention to the other side of the trail knowing that this is where I went wrong last time. Geohubby joined in the search too and we scrounged the general area around the GZ as well. We discovered a decoy so kept searching. We even ended up phoning a friend who had recently discovered this one and searched the area where she had found it all over again but I'm very frustrated to say that this one still did not present itself to us. To add to the frustration we had multiple run ins with dirt bikes tearing along the trail at 60km/hr +making us fearful for the safety of ourselves and our scared geotoddler so overall this was not a happy end to our rail trail search. Would love to hear from poiter.h if this one is actually still there because we are stumped. Thanks for the awesome trail anyway!

As I approached GZ I wasn't sure what to expect. However, it felt like I was beginning to get on a bit of a roll, as I managed to find this one much quicker than I had anticipated by the surrounds. A nice little title there!
Thanks for placing this cache.

The last cache on this trail. The LAST one. I had to keep telling myself that over the 20 or more minutes I spent here this time, scrabbling around, getting scratched and staring at twigs. Just like I did last time I spent precious minutes of my life at this very spot. I took the very subtle hint of Poiter.h's given at my event recently too much to heart, convinced it would be a certain O. O. B. related thingamajig. I clambered down the hill, peeled, flipped, studied, pulled, bent over (made more difficult with a pregnant tummy) and nothing. Just like every other time. I was absolutely determined to come away with a smiley today and I decided to turn around and investigate the other side of the path and found it within three seconds. Blast it. TFTC Poiter.h but thanks most of all for a great trail. I've really enjoyed it - pressure's now on you to hide the remainder of the trail's caches you've hinted at

A few possibilities about here, and as I went one way Mrs SKI went the other and as luck would have it she came up with the goods. The rain is still thankfully holding off and the riding good.
On to the next!
TFTC

The call of the Rail Trail got to us, so BettyBoo3747 and I loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Moe and the MTY trail.
Someone has trouble with their golf around here. I see they took the penalty and didn't try and bash their way out!
BB located the decoy but didn't quite go far enough.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7473. The forecast for Moe was a hot summer's day so we decided to leave Melbourne early and head for the MTY. Robmc and I also hoped to log a Challenge we had recently noticed, once I fulfilled a couple more requirements today. We hit thick fog not far out of Melbourne which was not in the plan. Wet feet and a fraying temper to start the day.

After the last one I soon spotted and picked up a pesky decoy. Mmm, time to look for something else. It took us quite a while to find what we were looking for. Another quite sneaky hide here. We seem to be making hard work of a lot of these today.

Thanks Poiter.h
