A quick cache in the series along the Silver Creek Trail in Georgetown Colorado

---

This is one in a series of caches off the relatively unknown Silver Creek Trail in Georgetown Colorado This is a relatively flat trail that runs for approximately 5 miles from Georgetown to Lawson. The only detraction is the noise from I-70 below. It traverses wooded and open terrain and has some colorful aspen glades in the fall. It is an easy trail but if you bring small children exercise extreme caution since there are precipitous drop-offs in places. The trail follows an old mining shelf road that is now a single track. There are some mine ruins along the way. I have placed the caches very close to the trail since there are a unknown old shafts that can be hazards. It is also a challenging mountain bike trail so watch out for bikers. I have given coordinates for the trailhead. There is limited parking just uphill of the trailhead that is accessible by two wheel drive cars up to this point. The trailhead is located just past a house at the end of what looks like a driveway but is actually a public right of way. You can also access the trail in the vicinity of the Georgetown cemetery. Note that these caches are not accessible from the other Saxon Mountain Road caches.

This section of the trail offers nice views of Georgetown lake.

Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

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/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance Disable a cache page when the cache is not available or you need time to fix reported problems. A cache page can stay disabled for a reasonable amount of time - generally up to four weeks.

PLEASE NOTE:
Today's notice is a friendly reminder only. Do not reply to me directly. Rather, please go to "Log geocache" (upper right hand of the cache page) and choose "WRITE A NOTE" from the drop down menu. 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

Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer

I enjoyed the relatively short walk to this one. I would like to come another time with a friend and do more of the trail. I found GZ, and an amazing spot of where I thought the container would be, which matched the hint. Unfortunately, after looking high and low on both trails, I couldn't find the container. Cheers until next time!

Long search in the rain. Moved a ton of rocks. My GPS jumping wildly. No find. Beware of all the spiders. K7
