Greetings,
We are doing a check of caches that have been disabled for an extended period. Please maintain this cache and post an appropriate note to the cache page.
As stated in the cache listing guidelines https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time - normally a few weeks - in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive or transfer the listing.
PLEASE NOTE:
Today's notice is a friendly reminder only. Do not reply to me directly. Rather, please LOG A VISIT on this cache page and WRITE A NOTE Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again with a status update and any intention to revive the cache. Several reviewers participate in cache maintenance tasks so a log posted in this manner is the best way to get your message seen. Without a log posted you risk having the cache archived.
If you have disabled this cache for the winter or a season, please consider this a reminder to post a notice for when you expect the area to re-open. Re-activate the cache if the area is actually open again.
After you have checked on it and it's ready for seeking again, great! You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. If, however, you discover that the cache is missing and/or you decide not to replace it, then please remove any remaining pieces of it and archive it. This will open up the area for other geocachers to hide their own geocaches. You may also need to digitally relocate any trackable items still listed here. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404
I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. If the cache is not maintained or the status is not updated, it will be archived. Thank you for understanding.
If this sounds like an automated email template, that's because it is. I apologize for that but the volume of messages we get is such that templates like this make the process much more efficient. Thanks for your understanding.
I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note. All reviewer notes are deleted when your cache is published.
Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

Container is MIA - hoping to replace this summer, but until then - it is gone.

What a great, fun, and epic ending to this wonderful cache! I've had the final for some time now but have been to tackle this one. Today was the day! I got to the trail head around 10am with my final goal being Cap Rock. I nabbed 6 others before this one. I managed to take the trail most of the way to this one, but it did require a lot of scrambling before I managed to find the cave entrance. Entering the cave I'm looking in and yelling out "Hey bear!" and "Get lost little kitty!" With flashlight in hand I headed in. There were enough holes to allow me to see where I was going but the flashlight helped highlighting the darker areas for critters or caches. I finally spotted the prize and called out Woohoo!! I was able to sign and stamp the log and returned everything as found and left a coin for the next finder. This one took a lot longer than I expected, but I persevered and I'm glad I did. Everything is still in perfect condition. Thanks so much for creating and placing this one!

Onward!

This was a fun final! Glad there was a picture and hints to help navigate us to the right cave. RPieperco made the trek in to retrieve the cache and I showed him the shortcut back out. Tftc!

I am nearly certain I was within reach of it today (thanks to the many photos online of the GZ). Took a fall, and was out of time searching and dealing with the rocks and my GPS was infuriating. I will have to go back at a later date. I will log this cache!!!

We couldn't find it. Where our GPS pointed us has no rocks. Any hints?

I started this one years ago and finally was headed to the area of the final with Wings and Tales today. I'm so glad it worked out as it was a beautiful hike and a fantastic hide! IN - USA Olympic pin OUT - nothing TFTH!!

Another adventurous day of caching with WingsAndTales, although I have to say that this one will definitely go down in my hiking/caching Hall of Memories. I love this area. WingsAndTales knew where the cache was located…the puzzle really was in finding a way to get to it. After three and a half years of caching together, I'm used to seeing her in holes, caves and under large boulders. I suppose you eventually get too old for this kind of thing. It was a fun day. Thank you.

Well this cache sets a new personal record for start to finish. I originally printed out the cache page over 5 years ago. I got the first clue when it was in a physical location rather than on the cache page. I figured out the puzzle pretty quickly but when I saw where I needed to go it went on the back burner for a long time. In more recent times I have found an intrepid hiking partner in estes01. We finally made the trek today. Once again I learned that seeing where you need to go and actually getting there are two very different things. I'll admit that we needed all the resources available to us including the hint and spoiler pictures and it's still worth every star in the rating. TFTC
