At Black Cave cache
(
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=41190&log=y&decrypt=),
the cache has been take by the AZ State Lands Dept.
And they don't seem to have notified the cache owner at all. If it was by
an archiological site, I can see the desire to have it removed. But, why
did they not communicate with the owner of the cache?
And secondaryly, Wyle C was in that cache (at least, according to the
logs). So, does the state need to release the cache contents to the owner,
or is Wyle C needing to be recreated and released anew?
While we have a responsibilty to keep our caches from the arch. sites,
does the government have no responsibilities here? Or, does the note that
was left constitute notification?

Sounds like the AZ Land department did not like this one. They never sent
me a note advising of the sensitive nature of the cache placement so I
have disable it.

Made the hike up from Cow Creek Rd ( 3.7 Mi RT ). Saw some burros, some
javellina, a snake ( no rattle ), and the cave. But, alas, no cache.
There was a note posted by the AZ State Lands Dept. about Black Cave being
an Archeological Site under seurveillance. And a baggie with half of a
GeoCache form stating the Cache had been Removed on 3/5/03 by a T.D.P.
