Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for 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.

"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

Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer

Due to drainage renovations the creek will make it near-impossible to get to the cache, this one will be back up in the spring.

While I was in the area I hiked along the creek and explored some of the old railroad bed and mining structures. I went right past this cache so I checked to see how it was doing. It had slipped farther down than I remembered, but I had no trouble locating it. It is in nearly perfect condition.

This area got hammered by the flash flood a few weeks ago. I was able to find the cache in excellent condition. You can see in the area how high the water was. This cache got lucky as the water never made to GZ. Signed the log and took some photos.

Thank for the cache

I've never seen the parking lot so busy. Cannondale had their rig and tents set up and mountain bikes everywhere. Not sure if it was a demo or an event or what. I didn't realize you could go right after the pipe. I always thought it was private. Very cool spot for GZ and a clever hide. Very fun, scenic trail.

A great day for caching in February. Warm and sunny. I was looking for a bigger container but I found the hide no problem. Signed the log, left a fossil tooth and took the lanyard keychain.

I took Olive for a hike on such a nice day. The trail was dry today. Quick find after getting to the GZ. Signed the log and we're heading for home. [8d][8d] SL TFTC
