First Cache in the Just Hangin' Around series! (More soon to come) Near the Stonebury Entrance. Camoed well with surroundings but still visible. Near a busy road so if coming by car park at the church about 150 yards away. Fun cache and my first hide! Fairly easy geocache find. Stays true to the series and is Just Hangin' Around. Hidden well enough to avoid muggle detection. Congratulations to robespierre50 for being FTF!
(As of 3/14/15 no longer a bison tube but now a different type of container and different type hide)
(As of 12/23/17 the cache container was replaced and requires a lock combo.)

THE HIDE IS NOT IN THE BACKYARD OF THE NEAR BY HOUSE SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM EXTENDING YOUR SEARCH INTO THE YARD

}Stonebury was the southern-most development in Denver, Co. Believe it or not what you are standing on was

once open wilderness and large herds of plains antelope could be seen almost daily until 2005. This cache is meant

to stay for years to come to give future Cachers a cool point of view to see how far development has expanded since

that time. Hopefully this cache stays for years to come to achive the desired effect. Thanks for looking no matter

what year it is now!{

This would be a wonderful TB drop site. Unfortunately no TBs for me to drop! Next time.

The new cache location is a little closer to Wildcat Reseveve than the side street. There is a big metal decoy with A padlock along the side street. Don't bother with it. Grabbed the TB. Do you want me to take it to Austrailia? Tftc!

Supplies are on order to repair the cache. Should be back up and running next week since the package should get here any day now. Thank you for the patience. I have been crazy busy and want to make sure this cache is done right so it lasts a long time.

Sorry for the extended absence of this cache, trying to figure out what the next steps are to take as the cache site was vandalized and the container stolen. I believe I know what I'm going to move forward with. The cache should be available shortly.

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 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
