Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for caches submitted to Geocaching.com.
This cache was brought to my attention by one or more of your fellow cachers that think this cache may need the coordinates checked.
Coordinate issues are often typing errors; they may also be caused by GPS device inaccuracy.
(Please note : If you are using the iPhone compass app to get coordinates -- stop! They are in the wrong format for placing geocaches!)
When you gather coordinates with your GPS device, it is best to take several readings.
- Ensure your GPS device is powered up
- Move at least 20 metres/65 feet away from the target location
- Confirm your GPS device is ready to display or record coordinates
- Move back towards your target location
- When you reach the target location, pause for a minute to give your GPS device a chance to settle
- Record or save your coordinates
- You should then leave the area and return (preferably several hours later) and repeat the same process.
If you have multiple sets of coordinates that are similar (or the same) then your coordinates are likely to be more accurate.
If you find that your coordinates are not similar, you should repeat the process until they are.
I'm temporarily this cache to give the owner the opportunity to check on the cache, and repair it, if necessary. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. If the owner feels they will not be able to repair this in a timely manner, let me know, and I'll archive it. This will keep the cache from continually showing up in search lists. It can be enabled once you have made repairs. 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. 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 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 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.
"If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance *it will not be unarchived."*
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
Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer

If cache owner will not fix this cache then it needs to be archived.

Lord Mike and I stopped by after the event today and searched for the cache. No luck. Something is wrong with this cache.

Coords are off and CO isn't doing anything about correcting them.

Caching our way home after the DinoRAWR Discovery Day: Part Deux event. We spent about 40 minutes searching and expanded our search area to well over a hundred feet in a diameter. CO needs to check on this one and verify coords
