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:

On Swans Island, Maine. Near the end of Red Point Road. A twenty minute hike from the trail head up a gradual single track trail. Trail is well marked with rock cairns and takes you through a beautiful scenic route that is a local favorite.

Our family has been coming to Swans for over 40 years. We thought we knew all of the cool spots on the island. But the patriarch of the family told us about Noah's Ballast and it sounded like the perfect spot for an off the beaten path geocache. We created this cache with the Awesomeswifties, who are part of the family. The trail takes you up a gentle slope through some beautiful woods and open granite outcroppings. Very few people get to see the spectacular views of the ocean and islands off Swans from this vantage point. It is a great spot to bring a picnic, though there are no picnic tables. You can park your car along side the road and the trail head begins at a large gray boulder with a cairn on top. The coordinates of the trail head are N 44 08.473 W 068 23.969. The cache is located in the midst of large boulders(Noah's Ballast) in a plastic container wrapped in duct tape.

Congrats to Cow Islander for the FTF!
