Your first cache is hidden,
Your container is great!
The \u201cFound it\u201d logs are stacking up
And it was fun to create.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Suddenly you get some questions
And a DNF or two.
That experience is unusual,
What should you do?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Open the cache page, and you see
There seems to be some evidence
That it\u2019s time
for cache maintenance!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Grab a replacement log
Maybe a towel or pen
Time to plan a visit to your cache
And see how things have been.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Did your cache get washed away?
Maybe trampled by a gazelle?
If the lid is cracked or the log is full
A visit will surely tell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The strangest things can happen.
How? No one is sure.
A little care and attention
Will be a good cure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once things are in tip-top shape
And your cache is nice and clean
It\u2019s time to tell other players
Of all the things you\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Write an \u201cOwner maintenance\u201d log
Since it\u2019s ready to be found
If things changed, let folks know
So they don\u2019t have to ask around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
