MB Gargoyles Multi-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This cache has been archived.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.

MYSTICAL BEINGS
A Gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque.
Although I thought that this was a Gargoyle, a little research shows that these are actually a Sphinx.
In Greek mythology, a sphinx is represented as a monster with a head of a woman, the body of a lioness and the wings of an eagle. Some say she will guard against evil spirits?
Leslie Fry, Sculptorr

Here is a checker if you would like to verify your numbers?

Note; arms have fingers, legs have toes. Do not count the fingers.
