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 I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)
**You do need to respond 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 don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) 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 ensure you visit the page and post a note 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, 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.
Thanks for your cooperation,

Still no luck finding this one - even had some fresh eyes helping me today. GPS moving alot.
Out again for a caching morning in the excellent company of Tiz13 with the target to find caches along the rail trail This one eluded us in spite of a lengthy search. BUGger TFTC and loving this series and the variety of clever and inventive caches
A tree has fallen recently, not sure if this has impacted the cache but couldn’t find it either way.
Checked on the cache today. It was missing.
I have replaced the cache and it's waiting to be found.
Happy Geocaching

Hmmm, our third DNF tonight. Found something that looks like a man-made carving in a tree, but no cache
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. I had GZ in the middle of the track so searched both sides before finding the cache, was a bit of water in the container and once again was hard to write with out in smudging.
Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.
Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.
Another one with a wet log, poured out as much water as I could, unsignable and other people names smudged on the multiple logs
Found on 30th September with the Geokids while camping in the area. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely trail.
A quick find by day1976 as he misled me and said its in there, pointing to a little trail that looked promising. Then he spotted the cache on the other side of the track.
I had to be in Moe today to drop something off and so Ilukaperi and I decided to make a geocaching trip of it.
I spotted this one, nice quick easy one. TFTC.

Took a bit of time to sniff out. But once we had the right location it was found in a second Tftc
Out for a bit of walk with Trodectus, #4 of 4 for today. Arrived GZ and after a short search had CIH as Ts GPS had us in the right area. Log signed and returned. TFTC
4th find while out for a walk with Coybear2000. We arrived at GZ and started searching. Then we noticed some muggles walking along the path towards us. We ducked into the bush until they were past, then back to the searching. We read a few previous logs, which threw us off our scent. Eventually C found the hide. TFTC.
Okay, my hunch was correct... but why are the co-ords so far off? Doesn't matter! Happy to turn this smiley yellow TFTC!
Now we have finished the series.
Out caching with gwd.aussie and D@geo
Thank you for the cache Poiter.h

I finally went for the walk to log this one. We had been waiting for it to be available again to find. Tyftc and the series
Been looking for a while now but still can't find it! A helpful hint would be Great!
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
Hahaha.... "are you kidding me... I've had my hands on it the whole time..." haha another find by Shai.marelle
Comments helped with this one coordinates sending me to the wrong side no bugs today tftc
The satellites were sending me to the opposite side of the track, but once I switched and looked in a likely spot I was adding my name to the log. An enjoyable walk along the trail here on a cool Sunday morning.
Thanks for placing this cache.
Thanks for placing this cache.
Found easily but not the container I was expecting, suspect this may still be the temporary cache. Thanks for the hide
After 6 caches in a row and the last one on the rail trail for us to find we were not giving up without a fight went with gut feeling and got it
Thanks poiter for this series
Thanks poiter for this series

I haven't been able to find a suitable cache container to resurrect this cache so far.
A temporary cache will be placed in the next day or two.

At Moe today with a little spare time, so decided to grab this one . Thanks Poiter.h FTC.
The little fellow had decided to move camp and had got as far as being on the edge of
the track after the log was signed he her or it was replaced at gz where or near it may
have been.

Was wondering how I would go on this cache reading previous logs, GPS had me spot on & 5 seconds later the cache in hand, beauty on to the next one... TFTH
I'd been saving my 600th find for the upcoming event in Traralgon buuuuuuut Kato Potato was given a hall pass from her geokids and I begged one from bear-cacher and we were off on a caching adventure. We headed for the MTY Rail Trail as Kato had three remaining and I had just this one left to complete the series. We parked at the nifty spot I'd used to find the Cache in the Hand and strolled along in the sunshine. This was our last stop on the trail and finding it completes the trail for both of us. Our GPS's put us on one side of the trail but something just not quite right put me back on the other side. I picked it up, looked at it closely......nothing........then OH! Looky here!! Kato then came over and I let her do the finding for herself. A delight and well camouflaged; sure to provide a challenge for quite a few cachers. TFTC Poiter.h, a favourite point from me.
Visiting a Hawthorn TB I picked up at an event in Sale from Fredd01; good luck to the mighty Hawks this coming weekend in the Grand Final!!!

This one eluded me last time I was on the trail with the geofamily and we had to give up the hunt due to failing light. Today however, with the keen eyes of one kyabbott, we had it in hand within a minute of hitting GZ and I was certainly palm slapping my forehead at the obvious hide I had missed last time. Clever container poiter, you had me fooled! TFTC!
Did a maintenance check on this cache today and found that it is still in place.
Happy Caching

Attempted to find this cache 3 times with no luck! Not sure if the trees interfere with the signal, but not enough information to be sure.
Third DNF in a row. The tree cover seemed to interfere with GPS signal and we couldn't find GZ. TFTC anyway.
****FTF**** This is our first first to find. Geodad spotted this after lunch. We raced in the cache mobile and geochild got it. Thanks Poiter.H for the last two days. We had a lot of fun.
