Hi rinsemesocks,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Found, with Wazza9 on an effort to find some caches in the area, disappointing with the DNF's. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO.

TFTC,
After 4 DNF's this cache gave me hope. A long time since I have visited a rincemesocks cache and as usual, a mint tin troll.
What started as a good start soon went bad with 3DNF's in a row and only 4 finds from 9 attempts.
I have been set a personal challenge by another cacher to lift my every day finds to 10 per day.
To complete this by the end of 2022, I have about 60 days that I must cache on and need to get up to 6 caches on the worst day. Since my local area has been almost cached out, it is necessary for me to travel to new areas or areas I have not cached in for some time. Unfortunately, my success rate is in the hands of the CO's maintaining their caches. An hour drive each way today for a les than 50% result will not bring me back in a hurry to this area.
