Peacock Protectors have detected alien activity in the area, both Penguin and Furon. Attempts to penetrate the alien facilities have been fruitless. The Protectors need information.
The Peacock has been associated with light, watchfulness and resurrection in myths from India to Europe. The bird is associated with the Phoenix, another symbol of resurrection.
In the 17th century, the golden Peacock Throne was created for the Mughal Badshah Shah Jahan of India. Shah Jahan had the Koh-i-noor diamond placed in the throne. Nader Shah Afshar of Persia invaded India and took both the throne and the diamond back to what is now Iran. The throne was lost in later chaos.

Recent research in India and Iran have revealed hints of a power behind the rulers, which worked behind the scenes. Known as the “Peacock Protectors”, they were independent of the rulers, protecting the rulers when they were wise and just, and opposing them when they were ruthless and tyrannical.

The “Protectors” seem to have dropped out of sight when Persia was conquered by Islam, and there are few reports of their activity on the Indian subcontinent in recent centuries. However, as the earth is subjected to invasion by rival alien forces, there are reports of Peacock Protector activity once again. Recently disclosed documents from Penguin Intelligence mention obstruction and interference by beings appearing as Peacocks. There has been no public mention of the Peacocks from the Furons or the Rubber Chickens, but several well known Furon outposts have gone missing recently.

Who are the Peacock Protectors? Are they human? Are they alien? Are they supernatural? Only time will tell.

Alien activity has been detected nearby. Attempts to penetrate the alien facilities have been thwarted. The cover stories presented by both the Penguins and the Furons don't pass the smell test (In the Penguin case, a herring breath filter had to be applied). The Peacock Protectors are looking for information. Please inscribe any data on the enclosed log.

Post Reviewer Note 06/16/2018 By Heartland Cacher
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. That will place it back in the review queue. You may also drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. 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
