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.

Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Adopting a cache

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
