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

Time to fix this cache so it is dry and ready for the next finder.

Found with Cache U. This brought back pleasant memories of our afternoon driving around looking for various Fort Collins keeps. This time no driving was involved other than picking up the cache itself. Thanks for this very nice tribute cache!

At the NoCo Geocaching event last night waawhoo mentioned to me that my Rabbit Warren cache, as well as a new Tahosa and Sons cache, had just been published. Because of late-evening obligations, I didn’t have an opportunity to review this new Tahosa cache until early this morning; I then became immediately excited about it! Heck, any Tahosa cache captures my complete attention... but this one, with its unusual 3.5/1.0 Difficulty/Terrain rating combination, gave me a serious adrenaline rush. It’s one of just a couple of the 81 combinations that I still need to complete the entire D/T matrix grid with “first to finds”. So I became totally absorbed in what this unusual cache was all about.

I had no idea what the GC7J0BV cache referred to in this cache description was, so I held my breath as I punched the cache ID information in–hoping it was something I had kept careful records on. It was! And I immediately saw that Cache U, Sam_I_Am, and I, as the only three finishers of this other wonderful “image” cache, had an advantage (but perhaps only a temporary one) in working out the final coordinates for CIPD & COPD. Then I held my breath again as I searched through my pile of notes on certain previously-found caches, hoping that I had kept appropriate materials on GC7J0BV. Otherwise, I’d need to get out to again hunt down FOXTROT and LIMA in the field. Success...I had the needed information! I knew then that with some serious map work I would have this new baby in the “Found It” basket fairly soon. It didn’t take long, although I made a stupid mistake in forgetting to adjust for differing Map Datums. Luckily, I realized this before I headed away from the 7.5-Minute map on my desk, to the field. The actual field find was fairly quick. This cache was, indeed, a nice test of lessons I’ve cumulatively learned from many past Tahosa and Sons caches. Thank you, Joe, for my incremental training over the years, through significant as well as subtle challenges posed by your many splendid caches.

Now–I’m reasonably familiar with both CIPD and COPD. After my bike crash in 2004 that destroyed almost 50% of my pulmonary capacity, I worked through problems somewhat similar to COPD. Fortunately, I had a pulmonologist who worked me through these serious problems to get me back on track to resume my alpine climbing and other strenuous outdoor expeditions and adventures. She was superb in her work with me in part because of her training in resolving COPD issues for other patients.

Thanks for this wonderful caching challenge, and for a D/T combination that is so very meaningful to one of my primary geocaching objectives! I'm happy to record the {FTF} on this great cache.
