This cache is temporarily unavailable.

IgnotusPeverell: Greetings Supergump, I'm IgnotusPeverell, one of the volunteer reviewers for caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Will you please check on this geocache?

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past, and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running again in the future. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you the opportunity to check on the cache, and replace or repair it, if necessary. Cache Owner Responsibilities include monitoring logs for reported problems, updating any changes to the text or coordinates, removing Needs Maintenance attributes, marking trackables as missing if they are not in the geocache, enabling the listing, and more.

If you feel you won't be able to maintain this geocache in a timely manner, you may post an update to the geocache page or you may archive it (this will keep the cache from continually showing up in search lists).

Otherwise, it can be enabled once you have made repairs. Please use the "Write Note" feature to leave notes on the cache page. Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance, and the cache is ready to be found again.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to enable your cache, it will be no problem. You can re-enable the cache page by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an Owner Maintenance log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page.

Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To contact me with any questions or concerns about this geocache, please e-mail me directly at IgnotusPeverellReviewer@gmail.com, and reference this geocache with the GC number and/or link to the geocache page.

"If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived."

Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Cache is located on a rocky knoll south of the crest trail. Pack a lunch to enjoy a beautiful spot to snack and observe the vistas.

Visit the most beautiful of locations in all of New Mexico. Bears, deer, elk, and quivering aspen make this a most enjoyable location. The cache (an ammo can)is located on a rocky knoll with a large old tree growing out of it. Taking young children to this point is fairly safe. Altitude is about 9,284 feet.Take Forest Road 117 through Villa Madonna toward Monjeau Lookout. Park at the trail head for Crest Trail #25 at 13S E 431630 N 3698720. Cache is to the SW. The road is two wheel drive capable in good weather. Road may be closed during the winter so check with Lincoln National Forest Ranger in Ruidoso to see if it is open, otherwise the hike will be longer.After visiting the cache, take a heading of about 220 degrees for about 100 feet. A large rocky knoll emerges from the forest and is the perfect place for viewing and a snack break for adults. Parents - Caution should be exercised with children and perhaps they should not climb the rock. Original cache contents include a golf bag with pens for clubs, a law enforcement towel, a Cree Meadows golf ball, a snowman, a golf ball retriever, a magnifying glass, 6 county pins, and four clear marbles. SubduedPilot28 replaced the original cache on August 30, 2020 ... Thanks
