Since you're more familiar with the cache location can you think of any reason why that cache placement might not be approved under the current guidelines? It may have been a "grandfathered" cache based on some small guideline that has changed. If a grandfathered cache was archived I don't think they would allow it to be adopted and reactivated. </DIV>

So, the question is, what is the reasons that Michael is stepping in.
This is odd for the Community relations folks to do this.
* Has someone in the cache area requested that the cache die?
* Is there a change in GC policy? (Older caches must die, whatever).
* Is he just a pain in the .... and wants to give you grief.
Contact Michael directly?

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE>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
