[Az-Geocaching] Adopting a cache

[Bob & Linda Smith]

And that little point alone seems to be driving me to continue the 
fight.  Guy Aldrich suggested I will not win and he has been in the game 
a lot longer than I have.

Thanks to all who have responded..  I'm still not sure of my next move.

  It still seems weird that he's not giving you any concrete reason 
(that can be backed by gc.com policy or something) as to why you can't 
adopt that cache.

  Dear ShadowAce,

  You make a good point.  However, I want to keep almost all the old 
information, i.e. logs, original owners name, location because it is a 
little unique and small.  It is an urban cache that most do not like but 
it brings you close to some very interesting history of old Prescott.  I 
know that many of us have lost a container and log.  I don't believe 
that should be a criteria for making a totally new cache.  When Michael 
LaPaglia suggested I make a new cache at the same waypoint location, it 
told me there was no complaint from a business nearby.  He can not or 
will not tell me where it is stated in policy, black and white, that 
when a cache goes missing it must be archived.  I know he or someone has 
the technical power to un-archive this cache so I can adopt it.  I just 
don't know how much I want to push the issue.

    Basically to drop all the other spam that this became....

     I would say this IMHO:

     New owner, New Cache, New Log. = New Cache

     Old Container, Old Log, New Owner = Reactivate.

     Since this cache is not the cache in question, it really is a new 
cache, new hide and as such deserves a new history.

     Thats my opinion and I like it, your feelings will vary.

      OK everyone, I need to find out why an archived cache can't be
      un-archived so the adopt program can be used.  I am trying to get 
a
      cache back on line that the original owner can no longer maintain. 
I
      was told by Michael LaPaglia at GC.com that once a cache is 
archived it
      can not be un-archived.  I am pretty sure that I read somewhere 
that a
      cache could be un-archived and brought back on line.  If you want 
to
      look at the cache on line the way point is GCJWPV
