### **OWNER ACTION NEEDED?** ###
Perhaps it's time for the cache owner to make a visit to this cache as it would appear to be in need of owner intervention. I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance)
The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )
**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived.**
If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and **indicating a date** when you believe you will have the issue resolved. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

Log book needs replacing, as wet and mouldy. Didn't have any spare paper on me.
Had previously found cache no 1 on this walk some time ago (was FTF that cache) but didn't go any further that day due to the heat. Came back today to do the rest with youngest member of The Miles 5. We found this one quite easily, was worried about snakes as still a little warm but no sign of any. The log book was wet and mouldy. Was going to carry on to next cache but youngest member was getting bitten by mozzies, so headed back to the car instead. Next time. Happy Easter!
After a slight detour due to a family "emergency" we were now 'back on track' for day two of our four week holiday. By back on track we mean going a totally different way to that which we had planned so we are making it up as we go along.
By now we needed to stretch our legs and get some steps up on our respective step counters. What better way tot do this than to complete this series.

Last find on our Apsley bushwalk. Log book was saturated. Heaps of mozzies!!!!
On a morning walk before starting a cleaning program..ah there it is. Was this log wet or was it the next one??
Dr Owl was suggesting a weekend away to tackle some adventurous caches in a disputed area of Mexico and to spend some quality time with Muff1. Who was I to say no! Extensive use was made of the Muffmobile and Mrs Muff came along for the ride and to poke fun at our caching efforts.
One of the Apsley Nature Walk series finds. The late afternoon sunlight through the trees created interesting shadows and patches of colour.
Thanks for the cache jgc3.

After the previous effort, Owl spotted the cache and then insisted on sitting down and allowing her servants to retrieve it. A fun series in a lovely location, so have a favourite point.
This one was also exposed and in the sun. The actual log book has vanished, but luckily for me someone had left a scrap of paper which I was able to sign Tucked it all away discretely TFTC jgc3
This cache was found as part of a 28 hour caching odyssey around the Wimmera and Upper South East with TT016. A total of 670 km was covered in the trusty old GQ Patrol on the way to 93 cache finds. Caches collected included the Rusty Rail Series and the SA or VIC? puzzles, which were all found at night!
Another nice and easy jgc3 cache. I really appreciate caches that are simple to find and just where the GPS says they should be, like these ones

Great to find this little series, lots of laughs with Hurtle and Astro too. Really enjoyed the Wimmera region! SL TFTC
I'd been around here before but never had time to do it. I think it was bucketing this time last year so we had to give them a miss. But not today. A quick look and then another look had us locate the caches without too many dramas. Very dry and not a drop in the lake.
Thanks to jgc3 and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^]
We've been through Apsley a few times now, but either was late or bad weather to go for a walk previously.
Today we swung via this litte trail on our way to Horsham.
A nice walk in the park, however very dry and no water in the lake either!
All were found easily, although a couple had wayward co-ords that the hint helped with.

After a couple of hours in the car en route to Little Desert, a quick stop and stretch of the legs was much needed.
Thanks for the hunt

Travelling homeward: Naracoorte SA to St Leonards Vic multiple breaks and lots of smilies in 12 hours. We spent around half an hour riding this nature walk, we saw kangaroos, kookaburras, parrots and heard corellas as we visited each of the caches.
Our thanks to jgc3 for creating this interesting trail.

Find # 2401 @ 1055 H
I was off on my biggest, single day, road trip. I left home at just after 7am and didn't get home until just after 11pm. I ended up with just over 670ks travelled, 29 smilies one being and event, and 3 Trig point discoveries, this included even heading interstate for 3 grabs.
There was many sights to see and even the odd fence jump for caches or photos. I think I managed to see every colour of mud that Western Victoria has on offer and I have a nice collection of it now in my drive way. I even had my pushbike on board and ended up peddling 5ks for 6 finds.
The main reason for my bike coming along was to save time and ride this small trail of caches. and boy was I glad I did. I don't think I could have gotten in to the lake with my ute... all that sand, I would have beached it.
It was a great day for a ride in the bush and I was happy to be seeing some country side I would have not seen if it was not for this trail.

Continued on from number 1. It would be fantastic to see this area when it has had a decent amount of rain and compare the difference. TNLN TFTC
Found while on a dive to Mt Gambier for the Geozing Race. These were a great little trail to stretch my legs on. A nice quick find. TFTC.
TFTC. Found as part of the Big Little Event II in Naracoorte. Lovely area.
A lovely morning for a beautiful walk with upsanddowns and my geo family. Made it to all 5 in this series before the weather changed to a windy and wet afternoon. Highlight on this walk was the echidna. Took Copycat Geocoin.
Wooohooo
FTF for Genghicat & I
In Naracoorte for BLE event & caching our days away.
Great walk

In Naracoorte for the BLE this weekend and thought we'd snag a few caches along the way
A nice walk here this afternoon, although Mrs KQ thought she'd be clever and find a short cut back...needless to say she needed Mr KQ to come rescue her haha

Woohoo. A FTF (shared with Donnazev) and my first FTF in Victoria. This was a nice little walk through Aspley on a really nice day.
Left the Copycat Geocoin for others to find.

A quick find while visiting Naracoorte for the BLEII. Had to leg it between the 4 Nature walk series, as we only had 1/2 an hour to do 1 - 4 before meeting at the night cache to go to dinner.. TFTC
On way back to car, found quickly with co-ordinates passed on back at cache 3. TFTC
