Hi there Pa_i_ge,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
**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 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 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.
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).

This was a quick find along this lovely walk through the bushy back blocks of Research.

Found the cleverly disguised cache.....but it is completely empty, no log book or anything so a new one will need to be added.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Having an enjoyable family outing finding these caches. Geoson 2 is employing his Ripstik to good effect. Thanks for the explicit hints, as our geo app is broken. Also, forgot pen.
Found it! Walked the Aqueduct trail with Muggle Heather. Found a few caches along the way. TFTC SL sorry for the late log. Cheers
Cleverly disguised cache, which we almost overlooked, looked slightly out of place though, so it warranted a second look. Log duly stamped and replaced, and cache carefully placed where we found it. This walk is really an interesting one to take as the abundance of birdlife and the variety of trees make the scenery really interesting. We noticed several places along the Trail that would be great places for other caches, and we wondered if they were locations for the missing numbers in the series. The small geo dogs found a nice place to have a short drink break not far from this cache and decided to flop down and have a short rest at the same time. Thank you for this cache Pa_i_ge.

Cheers for the cache

Another day out caching with Omegaman1971, today we headed to the Eltham area to clean up a few unfound caches, a great day was had and after the rain we had the day before it was great to see the sun come out.
This is one of the caches we found on out travels.
Thanks Pa_i_ge for the cache.

Thanks for the adventure Pa_i_ge!

Returning from a double total hip replacement, new hip four weeks old and the other six months old. Tftc
Nice! I was attracted to it regardless of being in caching mode. Still, I doubt any exercise nuts would see this bad boy while moving along.
I was walking past this cache last week and I knew straight away it was a cache when I saw it but I didn't have a pen and there were too many people around so I decided to leave it.
I came this afternoon on a walk in glorious late afternoon sun and warmth. I opened it up and found what appears to be a temporary logbook which is in need of replacing, being both full and a bit damp.
Thanks for the walk motivation.

YES This one makes four for today. Kids are loving this trail. Especially counting (and climbing) all the bridges.
Easy find. Great camo. Love these containers. First for us on this trail. Fortunately not many people around. Log is completely sodden. TFTC
enjoying our family walkThank you pa_i_ge for this second series of caches along this aqueduct bench.
On a perfect day for caching there were lots of people and dogs enjoying this linear park. No problems encountered .

With our respective caching buddies out of town or otherwise occupied this weekend, spiffy and I decided to team up, drag out the bikes and find a trail or two. I remember riding this trail with jimbo80 finding the first incarnation of this series. With minor relocations and perhaps a bit more experience, we managed to find all hides quite easily this time. All but one clues were gathered, the remaining missing one deduced through trial and error in the checker. A lovely ride on a great trail. Thanks for placing and maintaining this trail of caches, Pa_i_ge

I had seen this sort of container before, so it was able to be recognized. The bottom was loose and stayed on the ground until I picked it up separately, and of course the couple of small items of stash fell out as well. I managed to wedge the log bag in, so that the whole container stayed in one piece.
Found at 10:15 am.
Well I didn't go away anywhere for the long weekend and neither did OzHockeyChick. So today we went on a bike ride along a couple of trails and this was one of them.
Started off and in the 1st 2 caches .... no clues .... oh no ... they soon started though but we ended up missing one of them (maybe #2 since it looked like a replacement log) but with only a few hits on the checker we soon got GZ without the last clue.
It was a busy little trail along here today with the beautiful weather but it was handy having the bikes and a companion so we looked a lot less suspicious.
Didn't have any problems with any of the finds today apart from waiting for muggles.
Thanks Pa_i_ge for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

even though I've seen this type of hide before, it's been awhile, so you tricked me. TFTC
I needed to find a cache today to cross off "10th Feb" for a challenge I am working on... but with a busy day ahead I didn't have much time so going after a hitherto unfound local cache was the perfect choice. A nice easy find after a short walk...
Thanks **Pa_i_ge** for the collection of caches along this walking trail... I will find them all one day!

Grabbed this cache on a quick mornings walk. Plenty of walkers, a few cyclists and the odd jogger whizzed by enjoying the morning sun. Tftc
I decided to take some extra days off work to extend that holiday feeling and have been reacquainting myself with my bike. Today I decided to grab the newish series down the Aqueduct Trail.
A quick find. TFTC.
