### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing 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.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* 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 that 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 cravo10 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[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 taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude 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 in good condition and 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 youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 24 - Bremer Bay to Cranbrook, via Wellstead and Mount Barker. I went seeking a new county today, so I headed back inland a bit to get to out Barker. I stoped and did quite a bit of caching along the way and passed a magnificent mountain range along the way. As usual there were places I should have stopped and didn't and plenty of caches to keep me busy longer than I should. I did manage to get settled in before dark.As I arrived in and cached around Mount Barker, I spent some time driving to the outskirts and then some time on my scooter doing the inner part of town. I was surprised at how busy the parks were, but it was a weekend. I had to skip some and I failed to find at least one. Either I was not tall enough or it was not where I was looking, but I did not get this one today. Thanks.Albida

Then on to Arthur River for an AdLab, evenutally rocking into Williams about 3pm. So of course caravan parked and we were off again to find some caches.

Grub62 and I arrived at GZ and seeing as we had already read the hint we had a fair idea where the cache would be. Grub62 being a better size for these things than me was able to retrieve the cache. All was in good condition and we were lucky enough that there were no muggles about. TFTC.

Tall enough to let my fingers do the finding.

With a couple of week’s leave from work we decided to head off on a road trip for a few of those days. We were heading for Margaret River, Albany and Katanning to soak in the sights and grab a few caches along the way. This cache was one that we found on day 7 of our break away! Cheers and TFTC.

This morning TaurusSix and I started our day near the Stirling Ranges after a wonderful day yesterday. The weather is quite overcast and there has been overnight rain so everything is damp. Today the geocaching mission was to clear up caches around the Mount Barker and Kendenup areas before heading home the scenic route via Manjimup, Bridgetown and Donnybrook geocaching as much as practical. First though one of us realised last evening that we had lost or misplaced our glasses while geocaching yesterday. We thought back through the route and steps of the day and ascertained where we might have lost them. Thinking more by luck than management they might be easy to find we retraced our steps and the first place we looked there they were out in the open laying on the ground. Clean and wet from the over night rains otherwise unscathed. With such luck on outside we commenced our geocaching mission for the day.

This is our fifteenth cache find of the day along with a nearby Adventure Lab. We walked around town collecting the Adventure Lab info and the multi info before detouring here. Firstly looking in the I shop before honing in on this gz. Luckily one of us is tall so retrieving cache not a problem. TFTC cravo10
