The Castle of Aaarrgghh! Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Backwoods Reviewer: This geocache came to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit due to recent logs and other circumstances.

Geocaching HQ uses a Health Score calculation which rates caches to identify those that might need attention from the cache owner. Emails are sent by Geocaching HQ to the cache owners of low scoring caches to encourage them to check on their caches. Please note that in addition to Did Not Find (DNF) logs on the cache, the Health Score also considers a DNF to exist if the Geocaching app is used to navigate very close to a cache, but the cache is not logged as a find. Therefore, your cache may have several DNFs that are not documented or are apparent by looking at the cache page.

Based upon its Health Score, this cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. You should have received an email about ten days ago.

Owner, if there is a good reason for a long delay in enabling this cache, do not contact me through email or the message center. Please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "enable listing" log. Use an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in four weeks or so to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that an explanation has been provided. If the problem persists, I will need to archive this cache page for lack of maintenance.

Happy Caching,

Geocache Description:

Along Indian Run stream in Indian Run Meadows Park in Dublin, Ohio. Park near the intersection of Post and Discovery. Most of the way is paved path, then well-maintained grass leads the remainder of the way to the cache location.

2024 Location Update: GZ now west of the south end of bridge: while at south end of bridge facing north, count 4 verticals on your left and look over left edge of bridge no more than 20' west. GZ is a tree there.
PLEASE REHIDE WELL: MUGGLE ZONE!

LEGACY NOTES:

(Note: There is now a bridge from Post Road south of the hide to the park north of the hide.)

Coordinates averaged and should be fairly accurate. Find a pair of large bolts and you are 6" from the hide. Please don't draw attention to yourself thrashing around, it's in the obvious place, you know... the place trolls would approve of. Be sure to wedge the container in at an angle (hopefully the way you found it) when replacing. Toss a handful of leaves in to help blend the camo covering.

If the water level were to suddenly rise several feet, the cache site may become submerged, so please make sure the cache is properly anchored (as you found it) so that it doesn't wash away or get muggled.

Original (obsolete) NOTE: When the cache was placed in 2005, there was a "castle" of rocks and mortar construction on the north bank of the stream near the original hide location that has since been completely demolished by indigenous youth. No trace of the castle remains, save the picture here. I have no idea what purpose the object near the cache site served, but I did notice it had been vandalized a few days before the cache was placed, so please do not hang onto it while trying to reach the cache (use the tree branches).

Perhaps he was dictating?
