Out geocaching again today with Hammerheard53 & BettyB87. 3 pair of eyes & could not find it. We are not giving up and will return!

We've been working on this one for a few months and finally made it to the final this morning. We were confused by what we found at stage 1 but the CO was gracious enough to provide guidance. We always enjoy learning new navigation tricks! We enjoyed the hikes to the other stages. We enjoyed the math problem at the end and gampa got to do a math calculation that he never did as a middle school math teacher. All in all, this was a fun one and we were happy to sign the fresh new log. Fave point for sure!

Finally, it appears that the new intersection is complete now that they have added the art and landscaping. (I'll post a photo.) I planted a substitute for the first waypoint which was destroyed by the construction. Also added a new log.

Roundabout landscaping and art near 1st waypoint.

Yea! This one is back up. I have been working on this multi/puzzle for several years. Had to get a nudge from the CO & another finder to get the final answer, then WP1 was compromised by construction. I finally got the log signed at the final location but waited to log it as a find until it was reactivated.

It appears the construction is finished. New round about there with whimsical sculptures in the middle.

Owner Maintenance 06/03/2016 By SeroSedSerio
Some construction continues. The first waypoint will be reconstructed when the construction finishes.

Owner Maintenance 01/26/2016 By SeroSedSerio
Revival of this cache is still awaiting completion of the construction in the area.

It appears that your geocache has been under the weather for a while now. Geocaches that need repair or maintenance should generally be taken care of within a few weeks. Please check on this geocache to repair/replace it and post a log to indicate you have done so, or archive it and pick up any remaining cache contents as soon as possible. Once the geocache has been replaced and/or you have verified that it is OK, you can go ahead and enable it. Please contact me if you have any questions. If there is no evidence that the cache has gotten attention (e.g. cache enabled, or note posted to cache page) or I have not heard from you about this cache in a few weeks it may need to be archived.

Thank you,

Yes, it appears the construction wiped out the first stage. I'll wait until the construction is done and then see if I can place a new one.
