I am archiving this cache after noting that no appropriate action has been taken to restore it, and I have not received any communication from the Cache Owner, turnercaitlin, regarding a request for more time.Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and I've provided ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch. However, with no updates or restorative maintenance completed, I can only conclude that this cache has been abandoned. Therefore, it is being archived to clear the way for new cache placements by other interested players in this location. Caches archived for this reason are ineligible to be Unarchived.[Balayang -Geoff](https://www.geocaching.com/email/?guid=35e8567e-6d62-483c-9e3d-c8ec0ffd25bd)Volunteer Community Reviewer -Australia
Tried this and only found the Velcro but no container attached. Spent 20 minutes searching about rocks below but came up empty handed.
Replaced - Velcro on the base of the case and on the pole. Hopefully it will last longer

The presence of muggles made this one a bit harder than it could have been however it was quickly spotted at the coordinates.
As other logs have indicated, it is in a bit of a precarious position and I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes missing again. TFTC anyway!

We had not planned to look for this cache today as it was unavailable when we left home. However, in mid afternoon we received a message that the cache had been replaced and had been reenabled. Given the chequered history of the hide, we thought that we would change our plans and head off to try to find the cache.
We arrived at the published coordinates and saw the structure. We suspected the type of hide and searched very carefully. It didn't take long to find the cache. At that point we could understand the problems with the hide. The cache was placed in a precarious position and if someone was searching with their fingers, they could easily dislodge the cache from its position and it would fall into the river. The cache needs something to keep it in place, such as a tether or a magnet attached to the container. We anticipate more problems with this cache unless it is secured to the hide location.
The replaced cache was in good condition. There are good views from the bridge and it is an appropriate place for a cache. However the hide needs to be more robust. Thanks turnercaitlin for the cache.

I arrived at GZ but making the find was slow as there was a long line of jogging muggles passing by. Almost gave me a heart attack to see how fit they were. Eventually they all passed along with a couple mothers wheeling their prams and at last the area was free for me to search. A quick find was made. Thank you for the cache.
