Flagstaff Lake Cache Trail # 5- "My" Island Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

Island in Flagstaff Lake, Eustis. The terrain is rated 5 only because it requires "special equipment", a boat.

I call this "my" island because it doesn't have a name and I like it so much. Soft sandy beaches around part of it, warmer water for swimming than in some other parts of the lake, panoramic views of the mountains to the south and east: Hedgehog, Crocker(with the rock slide scar), Sugarloaf with its ski trails and all of the Bigelow Range. There is a very artistically done loon nesting box near here too, that the loons ignore. For the shortest trip put in at Cathedral Pines Campground public beach. I didn't time the trip but maybe 15 minutes each way.

This is a small round Tupperware container. It has a log sheet and room for small trades and contains a few items to start it off, a $1.00 coin, a loon, my pathtag, a geocaching pin. There was no room for a pencil so be sure to bring one. FTF may take whatever they like.
