Logs
DNF. Couldnt see anything. Maybe Im just blind, or maybe it got muggled? After all, it has been 5 months after it was last found.
Found it buried under leaf litter not sure that's where it is supposed to be but signed log and replaced as found tftc
Took a few minutes of poking around before finally finding this one. I'm not really a fan of these caches that are close to people's houses. The description led me to believe it was a home made cache. It's not any more. TFTC and the hunt
Checked up on the cache and found that the rain had washed it too a different location, the cache is there and ready to be found.
###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.
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 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 lion7beast 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 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.

Boy oh boy I’m having a tough time with caching at the moment. A few days of tough finds. I timed it to arrive at GZ when the skies were clear. But after 40 minutes, grotty fingernails and a barking dog, the rain started to fall so I contacted a prior finder for some help. This is a tricky location with houses so close and people possibly appearing from both directions. Thanks for the hide. Great to have you continue to hide around your school.
Out and about again, some night caching with the Cockburn Crew. Spent too long at some hides and needed some PAF assistance with a couple. Even managed to get a fishing pole multi done at night through some dodgy grass area.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Managed to be walking away from the cache when the SOS was received turned back to make a find allowing this cache to turn around what would of been 3DNFs in a row! Had to move a bit of organic material to unearth this cache
Bad light stopped play on our last visit!
It's official we are hopeless caching in the dark, which is why we don't usually do it.
No trouble today. TFTC lion7beast

Not sleeping well these days so we decided to go for a cache or two.
Left in the dark and headed off for this cache. Was a quick find and a blank log so joint
*FTF* with Chwiliwr.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.
