Howdy,
Last January I placed a cache on Picacho Peak
(GCC5D6), this was to replace the lost and archived cache
Watch Your Step (GC0737). Its had been missing for over a year at the time.
Anyhow, the container that I had left was found by one team and then it
disappeared, though, I must admit that I have not been up to verify this. After
several teams logged nofinds, I changed it a virtual.
On May 23 a team found my virtual
and FOUND the old cache container, it was in good shape. They contacted
Team Marlinspike (the owners of the original cache) and got no response. I've
contacted Team Marlinspike as well and have received no response. Looking at
their profile page, they appear to be no-longer active in geocaching...it has
been over a year since their last find.
Here is the deal: I would like to take over
their container and change my cache from a virtual to a regular. I couldn't
think of any issues/problems with this procedure, so I thought I would check in
with the geocaching community for some feedback. Does anyone have a problem with
me adopting the container? I do realize that I need to go back up and
check in on things...though, this peak is a once a year thing for
me.
