Re: [Az-Geocaching] Adopting a cache

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.

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
