donnarl Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi, mods, feel free to move this to the right forum. I found a cache in Graham Creek Nature Preserve in Foley, AL that needs attention. The logbook is in the housing for a pump and is exposed to the elements. It was soaking wet when I found it. I did not have GPS with me to log coordinates, found by accident.\ Quote Link to comment

Normally, one would post a "Needs Maintenance" log along with the "found it" log. Help Center → Finding a Geocache → Logging a Geocache 4.2. What log type should I use? http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=534 There seem to be a limited number of caches in the Graham Creek Nature Preserve, and the majority are owned by "grahamcreekpreserve" Perhaps contacting them is the best option. http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=82254422-c4b5-45d3-869f-5f369e69f850&wid=3de5e2c6-d0bf-4144-9f1d-098af6f3383c&ds=2 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=grahamcreekpreserve You could check the geocaching.com map, and see if one of those caches matches the location of the one you found. Or maybe you found an archived cache. B. Edited February 17, 2016 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Or maybe you found an archived cache. Yes, and I see the mention of a bonus "unlisted" cache. And there's a puzzle cache. Hey, there's an Event at the preserve, next Saturday! Edited February 17, 2016 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Sounds like it might be this cache, but I can't be sure. One of the recent logs mentions a water pump. No other recent logs mention that it had issues, but that could have happened between yesterday and today. Here's a list of all caches near the preserve, and here's a map view centered on the preserve. I recommend you look at the map, the cache descriptions and recent logs, and the photos in the cache logs, determine which cache you found, and both log a find on the cache and leave a "needs maintenance" log to alert the cache owner. edit: the post was moved before I had a chance to reply, so I was a little late to respond.

I was thrown of by photos that made the cache seem like a different animal. Also, it seems to be found out of place at times. Could be that a recent cacher decided to hide the container in the water pump. Quote Link to comment
