This is a clear plastic bottle with a blue lid.

The goal of this cache is to make it back home again.
When you find it, please take it with you and find another hiding spot for it a bit closer to American Fork, Utah. A note on the side asks that you not make it more than a difficulty 2/2 hide.
I really don't want one person to bring it all the way back home. I'd like for it to be moved quite a few times.
It is a regular cache that's already been around a while and has some interesting things in it. Please trade fairly.

After you place it in a new location, mark the coordinates and difficulty ratings and include them in your log message. Then, I can get the web page updated with the new coordinates for the next person.

Special Considerations

  • Be aware that this is a "moving" cache and may already be picked up when you get there.
  • Log a note with your intent to hunt for it (and when) so others will be aware.
  • If you find it and take it, please log it quickly.
  • If possible leave an indicator like a teepee of sticks in it's place to signal to a following geocacher that it's gone.
  • When you rehide it, don't make it really difficult. I don't want anyone wasting a lot of time hunting for it. I like easy ones and want this to be an easy one.
  • When you rehide it, please make sure your coordinates are accurate. Also, indicate the new difficulty and terrain ratings.

Sorry for the delay.

The Pigeon does indeed intend to fly again. In early November I'm planning to take it to Southern California again so that it can enjoy the warmer weather while it makes its way back north.

Watch for it then.

Hello! I am Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog for Groundspeak.

I am assisting your local reviewer in keeping a watch on geocaches that may need some attention.
This geocache came up for review as it has a "Needs Maintenance" attribute in place or has been temporarily disabled for more than 4 weeks, beyond the "few weeks" in the guidelines.

What is the status of your geocache? Are you planning on repairing or replacing it? These are the guidelines about geocache maintenance: (visit link)
Performing geocache maintenance is an important part of your geocache ownership and it is your responsibility to maintain the cache both physically and here on your listing.

If it is to be repaired or replaced, please post your maintenance plan in a note on your listing. Once you have performed maintenance on this cache, please post an "Owner Maintenance" log and re-enable the cache so that everyone will know that the cache is again ready to be found. If you do not plan on repairing or replacing, please archive this listing.

If I do not see a note posted on the page or hear from you via e-mail within 4 weeks this cache will be archived. To avoid future visits from the friendly frog, make sure to always use the "owner maintenance" log in addition to the "re-enable cache" log.

Sincerely,

Rana Pirica

I thought that was pretty curious too. After a bit of research, I see that there are witnesses (including me) that can place this cache in AZ on Feb. 5, 2009. If that many other "disabled" caches where "found" in Wyoming on that same date, there's no way this could be a find on this date at this location. Stands to reason, Watson.

Looks like a bogus log on 2/5/09 to me.
Seems The Expeditioners are good at finding archived caches!
Even if they are several miles and a couple of states away from each other.

i went down to WYDOT and they have not seen this cache. I have checked with them and they will notify me and attempt to notify the owners if they do get the cache.
I met the Jeff Goetz that was mentioned below and he will call me if a cache is picked up.

Thank You
