### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###
----------
Hi there JonesSisters2,
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 are not mind readers (unfortunately), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
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 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).

A tree has recently been cut down at GZ. I think it was the one hiding the cache.
Wasn’t quite sure what I was going to strike here, so had a bit of a giggle and a lovely dry log much easier to deal with.

Found with Team Waldron during a trip to the south-east for a few days. On Day 1 we travelled via Meningie, the Coorong and Kingston SE to Millicent and Tantanoola. On Day 2, we toured around Glencoe and completed the STCL series, Colour by Song series, and the AooA series (and found any other caches along the way). On Day 3 we cached around Tarpeena then to Mt Gambier to do the Adventure Lab caches and down to Port MacDonnell. On the final day we completed the Honan Mint Trail and found the southern half of the Awaken and Live series before time got the better of us and we headed for home. Thanks for the cache JonesSisters2!
A trip to the South East with Featherwaite for a few days.
We had a great time and found a "few" caches along the way.
Any issues with a specific case will be in Featherwaite's log.

I'm glad we didn't see the reptile kind today. A fun series with a theme that was obvious when you found the prize! Well done. Zap!
Thanks to JonesSisters2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]
SL at 10:25am SA time. Daytrip out with DarthVader69 heading towards Mt Gambier chasing caches and then shopping. TFTC!
*Lightning McQueen has been chasing Mater again and had ended up on the ground. Placed him back in hopefully the correct pole position.
*Signed log as FWD.

Out with gridge98 for the millicent mega weekend, excellent trip away, thanks for hiding.
Sunday. Today's target was to get to Penola for the Celebrating in Penola event and the Plant a Tree- Greenrise CITO event plus a few targeted higher terrian caches and of course any others we passed. The adventure lad caches where also done in Penola even though they weren't on the plan. The weather today was filled with rain off and on but that didn't stop me and Mogni. I was glad we had the 4x4 instead of Mogni car for the trip.
SA Mega weekend with sir_spectre, a huge weekend of catchups and hunting geocaches. At different times over the 5 day weekend we joined up with other teams caching as either the misfits or mystery randoms depending on the numbers of people and who organised.
Unfortunately the weather was very typical of the south east and put many teams off exporing the forests and some great creative caches were only found by a few teams.
For me this was a little bit different than for others as I lived in the south east for 15 years and worked in Penola, Millicent and Mount Gambier. Strangely this also meant I kept running into people I knew each day.
Lots of wildlife seen, wombats, echidnas, snakes, kangaroos and wallabies. Luckily the snakes in particular kept leaving the paths as we were walking.
Thanks to the Mega committee for all of their hardwork organising and the many locals who have placed and maintained caches (this includes me
)

This was a good little series, some great hides, although the log books took alot to get out on some of them and the long wet grass wasn’t the highlight but all in all a good series with a few laughs
Day 3 of the Millicent mega, we headed out to do some caching between Millicent and the Mount before heading north and completing the AooA series and a few others in the area. We soon headed to Penola for my celebration event followed by the near by CITO. After some tourist stuff back at the mount we detoured via a few caches before reaching the accommodation for the evening and getting a flat tyre.

Found an interesting selection of animals and other creatures and signed each log with goingplaces2. Had fun, even in the usual wet weather. TFTC.
Gumboots were the favoured footwear with everything being so wet. Came along with ilook4geo and found the zoo to have lots of residents. All were found in their hides and invited us to sign their log books, which we did. Thank you to JonesSisters2 for creating this series and for all the appropriate creatures that were found along the way.
Found while out & about doing a spot of caching with scramping on this rather wet day.
Fortunately there was not electrifying going on here as there were roadside puddles that required negotiating...cool cache guardian...
Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment JonesSisters2

{FTF} 08.30 Saw these caches were still unfound this morning. With nothing planned today I got in the car and off I went. All were fairly easy finds and coordinates were found to be very accurate. Thanks to JonesSisters2 for this run of caches. TFTC
The coordinates are pretty good and there is usually only one real choice for where each cache will be. This one is well hidden from the road but may attract the eye of the farmer when nearby in his paddock.
