There seems to have been heavy pruning and this unique geocache has disappeared.

I am archiving this geocache.

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs 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 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 you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

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. [xx(]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

No luck today

Third time unlucky so far this morning!

There has been some pruning done here reasonably recently. Am wondering if it has suffered from that? Thanks anyway

Searched and searched. Lots of obvious spots found but no cache.

Thanks for being me here. So much history when you walk around.
Log signed, returned and all good

Thanks

Here at Portland we have found a few more in the area and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks to all the cache owners whose caches we found today.

In Portland and with a bit of spare time, we picked up a few caches.
We didn't know this cemetery was here, thanks for showing it to us.

A lovely sunny day in Portland, just the weather for caching.
Lady Morris drove Chooknchunk and I around to do a few caches in her area.
A great walk along the GSWW.

Had a look for this one just over a year ago, but it was missing then.
Back today for a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

In town for a few days for work, doing some training with the local Vicses team. It has been many years since I have visited Portland, but always enjoy my time here.
My may focus was the adventure labs in town but had sometime for this cache.
Cheers for the cache shelley roberts

Locked in by rain this morning, we headed out after lunch to seek out a few caches. It took a few minutes to spot the cache - unfortunately the container seems to leak, as even the write in the rain paper is soaked.

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** Write In Rain paper is no panacea for a container that is not weatherproof.

Our thanks to shelley roberts for creating this thoughtful cache.

Found at 3:23 PM GAFF1.
Final cache for the day which was full of interesting locations. We were not sure what to make of the container until we read the CO's maintenance log in December. Nice touch and we hope it doesn't get muggled.
Thanks shelley roberts.

Wow, driving through these gates brings back so many memories being an ex-funeral director/arranger/conductor. Such a beautiful day for a drive with my muggle friend. Such a lovely tribute to your nan Shelley. This was my first cemetery find and it was an absolutely amazing cache TFTC! As we drove away, we possibly spotted other cachers, hello! Missed each other by that much! Hehe!

Thanks creative idea

Out for an afternoon of caching with my parents - jocada13. A nice easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Found with Becstar79 7/1/21

nice cache, last one for 2020

Cache replaced today in exact same spot. Different type of container used.
*replacement in rememberance of my Nan who loved her birds.
** inside of cache container was found abandoned.

Please bring pen

A second look wasn't any more successful despite being armed with a description from a previous finder. A check on its welfare would be much appreciated

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Two of us searched pretty thoroughly with no luck - would appreciate it if the owner had a look to see if its still there. Its a very pretty spot so we are happy to come back.
