Dragon on a Pedistal - Land of Xanth Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

MainePublisher: Greetings,
Geocaching is more fun when caches are available to find. To help improve the overall caching experience,
Geocaching HQ created an algorithm to calculate a hidden Health Score for each geocache. A low Health Score provides an indication that the cache may need attention from the owner. Our goal is to improve the overall geocaching experience and avoid frowny faces due to missing or broken caches.

This cache currently has a low health score. You should have received an email from a member of our support staff. Here are some recommendations to address the underlying issues:

If the cache is ready to find, post an owner maintenance log to let the community know.
Maintenance may be required. If so, disable the cache while you take action.
Sometimes, simply adjusting the D/T rating will help the community know what to expect.
Archiving the cache is a useful way to address long term issues allowing you to take as long as you want.

The first step is to communicate with the community. In almost all cases, your plan will be acceptable even if it extends beyond expectation. But, keep in mind your cache may be blocking someone who wants to place an active cache.

Please take the first step and log using either Write Note or Owner Maintenance to inform the community and the reviewer of your intentions. To be fair to the community, please respond within the next 30 days. If you do not respond in a timely manner, the cache page will be archived to reset the gameboard. But, don't despair, you can resubmit a new cache page once the issues are addressed.

Geocache Description:

"Dragon on a Pedestal" takes it's name from the seventh book of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Xanth is a magical land where everyone has a magical talent. My non-caching friend NAN helped hide this cache.

There is trouble in Xanth again. The Gap Dragon had escaped and was ravaging across the land, the forget-spell was causing mass amnesia.
When the book begins, the Good Magician Humfrey has a mishap with a Fountain of Youth and regresses to the age of a baby. Queen Irene realizes three-year old Princess Ivy had wandered off, and begins a quest to find her daughter. Ivy was headed right for a hungry dragon. Could things get any worse? Probably....
Ivy ends up walking through a forget whirl and caused her to forget how to get home. Luckily, Ivy comes across Humfrey's 8-year-old son Hugo, and - due to her as-of-yet unknown talent of enhancement - Hugo temporarily becomes smarter, braver, and stronger. Ivy also manages to enhance the positive qualities of the Gap Dragon, Stanley Steamer, who had also been regressed to an infant at the same time as Humfrey.
