###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by adventure1481 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

No response from the CO to my NM log from a month back. It would appear the CO may have left the game. Time to bring this cache to the attention of a Reviewer to determine its future.

With three consecutive DNF logs, I kindly request a CO cache check to determine the status of this hide.
Thanks.

definitely dont think its still there considering the last person to find it saw it in a trolley
 
25-Jun-22
Sadly, a DNF from me. Nice little park though.
I would suggest a CO visit to confirm the status of this cache.

Found a very water logged cache, couldn’t sign the log as it was soaked. If the next person could take Gary on an adventure I’d be mighty appreciative… also maybe bring some spare paper for the log!

Was a bit tricky but we got it in the end!
 
04-Jun-21
DNFed this cache a couple of days prior due to mis-intepreting some instructions in the descriptions and thus not searching in the appropriate location, after a chat with a previous finder clarified the instructions, I returned for a quick find today. SL TFTC!

took awhile, nifty spot. probably don’t come at night.

Nice spot
 
05-May-21
Out with morty8888 for some more caching; today around The Ponds in the rain.

We searched the seat without luck and morty8888 decided to sit and read some former logs while I wandered around. After reading the logs morty8888 noticed something unusual and after inspection he had the CIH.

A rainy day for caching but that didn't stop Oldmorty and I heading to the Nth West for some GPS searching. We wandered into the pretty little urban garden and spent a bit of time inspecting the seat. It wasn't until we took the hint literally did we spot the well crafted cache. TFTC!

This was the second of three finds for the day. After finding “Umbridge”, I headed towards this cache. Given the nature of GZ, I was a little apprehensive about the proximity to the houses but realised this is a public thoroughfare and I had the place to myself. I checked the hint but after inspecting every inch, I couldn’t see anything. The grass felt comfortable and cool to sit down on, so I took a rest in the shade and after a few minutes, I saw something that looked a bit different. I pulled back the camouflage and the cache revealed itself. A very clever hide. SL. TFTC.

Nice tranquil little spot, took a few minutes, nice little cache.
Thanks for maintaining the cache
 
03-Mar-21
The place gets gardening a lot, it might have been thrown away by gardeners?

Came along here with ilook4geo and had a sit and think. Acted on the thought that happened and soon had the cache in hand. Log had both names added and was then returned to its place. Thank you to mrsormsby for placing this cache cache in its simple but effective hide.

Took a seat nearby and thought about this cache then the cache talked to me and revealed the cache

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache mrsormsby

Cache Log:

We came here after finding 'Star Jasmine' (GC3T9PQ) and this was the sixth find for us today. The GeoFamily walked up to this cache while i drove the car around the corner.
We walked over and started looking in the most obvious place, right? Wrong. Followed the clues and boom, there it is in another place which makes sense, as in, 'why is this here...?'
The cache is cleverly placed and in really good condition. We dropped off a GeoCoin which we have had for almost two years now. We feel bad for holding onto it for so long and still have another two to drop off but we're getting there now.
Thank you for this cache and for bringing us here mrsormsby

Happens again a young muggle come in the area while I’m searching very low and didn’t spot him straight away I think he was worried for me as I may have looked passed out on a bench!!!stop my search and pretend to go on my phone while he takes a rest ha ha! Anyway decide to walk around a bit after reading a few log and spot the cache. Have to wait until he goes, after saying hi! And quickly have cache in hand

Busy day, but I managed to divert here with the Geowife to this previous DNF.
And of course today I found it immediately - although I suspect previous finders since the DNF made it easier, as often happens with this type of hide.

Completed signing duties and replaced, then time to head home.

Heading home after a family function in the area yesterday, ticked off a few new placements this morning that had popped up since my last visit. Clue and co-ords good here but still took a while to spot the now very obvious hide. Managed to fit a green themed TB drop.
