Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] so much for
trying to preserve a cache
We could have seen this coming back when Petite Elite attempted
to adopt All Aboard Gone up in Prescott. I can't remember if the original
owner was out of contact, but the logic was that the container was missing, so
the cache could only be un-archived to the original owner, and not an
adoptee.
I read something in the forums that hinted that archived caches
will be taken off the maps soon, so the only way you would be able to 'find'
them would be by knowing the waypoint ID, or perhaps by looking at someones
found list.
Apparently 'cache permanence' is falling by the wayside, so
stock up on 'Gladware' and just archive the cache and 'hide' a new one when
the container disintegrates.

There have been several conversations on the forum about just this
topic and as predicted, this is the response. GC seems to lean to
archiving rather that adoption if the original owner doesn't get
involved. There is a similar cache here in Missouri that appears to
have been quietly adopted but is Disabled none the less. Unless the
original owner speaks up, I bet this one will be Disabled too regardless of
it condition. I guess I can see the point that a cache needs an owner,
a point of contact. Having to apply for a new cache at the location
seems extreme but this is how GC tries to have control.
