Hi there 1k2ate,

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 exactly what is happening with this cache - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#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 and repair and/or 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 praises.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, 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 the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But 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 this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for you cooperation,

Had a quick look but again, quite a number of DNF's so maybe gone.

No luck...

Couldn't see any hardware

We gave it a good crack but just couldn’t find it???

Although the weather wasn't the best we decided to get out further than 5km now that we can.

We negotiated the barking dog however just as we started to search the heavy rain started so we called off the search. Next time...

We searched, we found! Love the camo

Nice camo

That was really fun, I did it with some friends and we all looked for it together! We left some ooshies.

Woop woop

Nice hide

Kind it

Nice camo

First geocache! Lots of fun.

Smart disguise

Quick find once I figured out which of the likely culprits the hint referred to. Thank you for the cache!

Did not find

Found Nice hide

Well hidden

09/07/20 found with mum

Good job hiding it!

Put off by the dog barking and the owner coming out a couple of times. Will try again at another time!

Great camoflauge! TFTC!

YAPIDKA! Another lovely local park and fun little clever hide! Heading home after a few days in Melbs looking after dear old mum. TFTC

Dog barking indeed

Great camouflage! Have left small gifts!

Easy to find did get spoted when my back was turned

Clever hide

Awesome disguise! We loved it. Be careful of bees in the bush and the navigating is a bit off but awesome find!!

Love the container for this one very well thought out.

Out with au.fait, we were doing a few caches while in the Morrabbin area.
No bird whistle, but lots of dog barks. Easy find. Thanks 1k2ate

I didn’t hear any birds but there was a barking dog just the other side of the fence. Perhaps not the best position for this cache Thanks Tk2ate

Stopping of at a couple of caches along the way as we don’t come up here very much. TFTC

Found it while doing the cluedo adventure lab. TFTC

Found in our travels while doing an adventure cache. Nice camouflage

Thanks 1k2ate

Bit Tricky one, but glad that I got it today. fav from me. Found your cache today. 1k2ate, thanks for placing it.

Found it forgot pen, might drop in next time to write my name

Toke us a few minutes digging through bushes found it eventually !

Clever camo! Had me fooled...
T4TC!

A previous attempt here had left me empty handed but with geo grand kid in tow today we made the find. Great camo! Now I know how I missed it last time. A very excited AFL fan came away with a treasured footy card-left an Ooshie. TFTC

A nicely constructed cache in a lovely little neighbourhood park .. plenty of birdlife too .. The unfortunately a dog in the house next door didn’t like me searching and was barking incessantly.. nevertheless the log was quickly signed and the cache returned to its hiding place.thanks 1k2ate for creating and placing this cache

Easy find with a quick hunt.

Easy to find. TFTC!

Found on an extended lunch break. Luckily, there was no-one around. Not a micro but nice work on the camo. In good condition.

A nice quick and easy find on a nice afternoon on my way home.
Not actually a micro. I’ll classify it as a small.
TFTC

At nearby Southern Road Reserve for an inter school football match
Between the rain showers, I was in search of both coffee and cache
The challenge was on due to the vegetation at GZ being trampled on and several bushes are now damaged
The off to find a coffee which was also close by
Now back at the GeoCoach enjoying coffee with cake

Great camo. Thanks!

Nice an easy

Neat camo . TFTC.

It’s a great cache!

Found it! Thanks!

Very cool

A nicely camouflaged cache in what looks to be a lovely little reserve. Upset the neighbour’s doggy whilst rummaging about looking for this.. thanks..!!

Great cache!

Luckily a quick find a the doggle next door started barking. Thanks for the cache

Found while out doing some local caching on my birthday
TFTC

Nice little ark.
GeoSon went straight to it.
Nicely constructed cache.
Took a TB Coin for more adventures.
Visited 3 TB.
TFTC

The birds were whistling at this hidden gem just before noon. What a clever cache. Log could be improved. Dropped a geocoin which we collected whilst in Japan. 3 of us located this whilst geogirl enjoyed a quick play in the park. Tftc

Love what the container looked like. Awesome

...

Cache found all nice and well. Everything looks to be in order. Thanks for the find.

Great hide! Very creative, found with TroyfindZ. TFTC

Creative container
Loved it
TFTC

It was a long way to walk but that was really clever

Found on our way home from an outing today. Cool camo. Signed a temp log but needs a new one which I didn't have on hand today sorry.

#1547 Another of these pesky P366 days and most of the caches within a few kms of home are either found or I am having a 2nd or 3rd or 4th attempt at finding. I looked up the details of this one and initially thought I had tried it a year or so ago. Double checked on street view and thought that spot doesn't look at all familiar. Headed off with geodaughter (more driving practice) and Geodog (decoy and walk opportunity). Wandered by GZ and back again. Took a min or two before I spotted it. Set off a woofer alarm on the other side of the fence but it was a pretty half-hearted bark. Nicely camo'd cache and far bigger than a micro. TNLNSL. TFTC 1k2ate.

Made a quick easy find in this secluded little park. Took a seat to sign the log before re-hiding the cache a little better than it was found. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Great little hide. Thank you. Not too difficult. Kids had fun searching and finding it. Great camouflage

TFTC, however it’s not micro so didn’t take long before it was cache in hand.

Nice walk here from Thrift Park. TFTC

Found it!

Heading home from work and decided to take a detour to collect this one. The cache was a quick find and was all in good condition.

Thanks 1k2ate for the cache.
Found at 4:21 pm on 21/1/19.
Find # 1191

No log book but we found it.

??????

Awesome camo! Really well done. Was our first family geocache outing!

Soooooo much fun super smart way to hide

Yay! Our first one

Found it.

Find #3957. Found @ 16:37 with The Good Lady Wife.

My self-appointed challenge for the year is to get 1000 finds for the year, and I've fallen behind in that. To get me closer, The Good Lady Wife and I made a couple of finds while out and about running errands.

After completing our shopping, this was the closest unfound cache, so we ventured here. I'm never too confident when I'm just using the phone GPS when I usually use the Garmin, so pretty quickly reverted to using satellite imagery rather than distance to target coords. When I eventually spotted the cache, I was about 6m East of where the satellite picture wanted me to search.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache 1k2ate

Easy find! Great camo. Thanks

That was hard

09:17
"International Earthcache Day" - a check for our closest unfound earthcache. Great, just 36kms away! Ahoy me hearties - way across the bay!
It was not quiet this morning, the birds were whistling at their best as we added our name to this cleverly disguised cache.

Thanks to '1k2ate' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Very easy. Found it very quickly.

Great cute little cach. Loved it it. Thanks.

Nice work on the cache!! Looks great.
Buen provetcho

Chghg

TFTC. Yes, which Bush?

Found it

??

Really god camouflage!

Harder to find than expected, great camo!

This one was harder than it might have been as there is no real reference pint for the cache. It was a good hide though. And the birds today weren't whistling, more of a squawk.

Our first find

Thanks very good welll camouflage

Found it
