I think that every possible effort should be made to contact the owner, but if that fails, then go ahead and adopt the cache. My point about replacing it and creating a new cache description was just as a shortcut. At this point, you could just as easily take the new cache out and replace it without taking over ownership of it at this point. I think all of us have done cache maintenance for other peoples caches when needed. Scott scott@myblueheaven.com www.myblueheaven.com
