Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Hi there TheEuphorian.

This is the 3rd of 3 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 10:30:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Hello TheEuphorian thank you for the cache.

EeePees, LilRaffa and my self had left Hobart early this morning to go to Launceston to go to the "Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde" event. After the very well attended event we had a leisurely drive home looking for caches as we went.

We started searching with a group of three but as the search continued LilRaffa had to leave us for a while. As the search continued we continued to read the hint and past logs most of them saying the cords were spot on and to trust them. It was al LONG time after we first started to look that EeePees said "Come and have a look at this". There it was just as described in the location posted.

As others have said trust the GPS.

Found at 1156

Had 'sailed' from the deep south in treacherous and icy seas with Lil Rafa and AlbyDangles to attend the "Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde" event at Trevallyn Tailrace Park, for some piratey fun and cacher catch-up.
Afterwards we 3 then dropped anchor many times to search for other treasures during the voyage back toward the home port.
Dropped by here mostly to visit and remember family members nearby.
This one took way too long. Really need to take note of the co-ords, and to not misinterpret the hint. Fitting that I finally found it, as it became milestone: 600 finds.
Thanks for a well hidden cache and the adventure TheEuphorian, worthy of a favourite.
#600 @1153hrs, Sunday 16th July 2017.

After attending a nearby event in Launceston with EeePees and AlbyDangles we commenced the drive home where we could geocache on the way. I started the search for this one, but there were so many muggles on their morning walk and out with their pooch in this area that I found I couldn't focus. One of the passing muggles asked me if we were looking for coloured stones! I know about the coloured stones, so told her that we were actually geocaching which was a similar type of activity. I eventually abandoned the search for the cache and went in search of something else as I'd had too much coffee at the event earlier. EeePees and AlbyDangles made the find, and I'll make sure I pop back on my next visit.

I came to the cemetery to find another cache that would help complete my jasmer calendar but when I was unsuccessful at finding that cache, I decided to take advantage of being in the area and look for other nearby caches. Took me a few minutes to find the cache after I gave in and trusted the coords. SL #3216 on streak day #1832 TFTC

Cheers TheEuphorian

Found by Facitman in the company of Rhinogeo during our trip south to see the Hawks at 14:50
I managed to fly past this cache and it was a fair distance before we could turn around and make our way back to the pull in near the cache. A little time was spent searching but the cache soon appeared in Rhinogeo's hands.
Thanks TheEuphorian

Last one for the night! 9:15pm! Nearly gave up on it and then found it. It's been a long but fun day and this is our 3001th cache and now we're going back to the caravan in Evandale for a well earned rest! Bedtime for us oldies! TFTC Smile

We've now only got four weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley Smile On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here!

Paper is slightly moist but was still able to write on it.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Finally feeling well enough to cache, Mr Felix declared today was to be a full days caching! Razz

So lunch packed and off we went! Some interesting suburban spots that we wouldn't normally have ventured into without Geocaching.

Looking forward to meeting local cachers at the Event on 17th October.
