RE: [Az-Geocaching] Picacho Peak Cache

Hey Rob,

Since you only get up there once a year, maybe you could ask for help from
potential seekers? For instance, you could put a paragraph in the cache
description asking for help from people who are planning on going to find
this cache. Like, if someone posts that the cache needs a new container or
logbook, you could supply that stuff to the next team to go up there. I did
this in April for a cache in Hawaii. The owner lives on the mainland, but
they go to Hawaii once a year in September. There was some maintenance
required on their cache, so I did it for them on my trip. It seemed to work
out well.

Given the friendly and helpful disposition of the AZ Geocaching community,
I'd bet you'd get lots of volunteers.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Picacho Peak Cache


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.
