From this park you can see a 360-degree panorama of Delta, the Mountains, the plateaus, and the mesas which surround the valleys that converge here.

This cache is placed near an area where many people gather in the evenings to play or watch softball games, to have a weekend picnic, or just to let their children play on the playground.  The view is spectacular from this highest point in the city.

Use stealth as you search for the cache and sign it's log as there may be muggles around the area. Bring your own pen. And be sure to return it to its exact location where X marks the spot.  DNF logs will be appreciated as they will indicate whether the cache is in its place.
Congrats to sjclimber for FTF.

Out teaching Geocaching 101 to a newbie, started here.
Getting a DNF due to Maintenance needed is all part of 101 !
Positive that Cache is missing as we know this one well.
Muggle got it and messed up much of the surrounding "camouflage"
Have all the parts needed except time
Hope to find that also in next few days and reset for our good friend, the CO

CO is a good friend of ours, now moved from the area so helping out a fellow geocacher. This was like the one of the first 10 caches we found when we moved to the area several years ago and knew EXACTLY where it was hidden from memory. Muggles cozzied up in car just feet away so made it look like was doing a CITO dance and replaced the log and cache between trips to the local trash can. Used waterproof log paper so no need for plastic baggie, fits inside the cache like a hand in a glove. good to go until the spaces run out.

p.s. the existing log still had space, fit neatly, and was totally usable but folds were breaking up and paper was a bit brittle and yellowed but that is just the sign of a well aged cache, not really sure why the maintenance log button got pushed, don't they carry new log papers with them? Even if they don't it was still usable for a bit more and some other cacher would have had papers.

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
