Mtn-man,
I am writing to you to ask you to reconsider your decision to archive this cache. Please reconsider this decision and approve this virtual cache.
I have 11 museum caches throughout Arizona and in some other states. These caches include:
Tempe Historical Museum
Scottsdale Historical Museum
Mesa Historical Museum
Chandler Museum
Gilbert Historical Museum
Arizona Historical Society Museum at Papago Park
Blanding Visitor Center
Kenton Museum
Gila Bend History and Archeology
Cave Creek History
Border Patrol
Every one of these caches were approved with no problems whatsover. The Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg is better than the majority of the museums listed above. It is also not an easy cache to complete - you have to go through the entire museum and answer seven questions. Some of these answers may be hard to find.
The Desert Caballeros Western Museum is the most popular attraction in Wickenburg and it is one of the best small museums in Arizona. It is definitely a place that all geocachers should be encouraged to visit while in Wickenburg.
All of my other museum caches have received high acclaim and are very popular among my fellow geocachers. In particular, they are popular to visit during the hot summer days in Arizona because the air-conditioned buildings are a respite from the summer heat. These museums are open to children and people of all ages and are accessible to handicapped geocachers. This allows everyone in the family to participate in geocaching.
In reviewing my previous museum caches, I noted that you approved two of my museum caches, Chandler Museum and Gilbert Historical Museum. The e-mail addresses of geocachers in the Cc: listing above are other administrators who have approved my museum caches. Please review this virtual museum cache with these individuals.
Please approve this virtual cache. Thank you.

Message:
Your virtual cache was archived to prevent blocking of the approval queue. It was archived since it does not conform to the requirements regarding virtual caches. There are several traditional caches nearby and this virtual most likely could be a part of a multi-cache.
http://www.geocaching.com/articles/requirements.asp
The location should also be a unique and compelling one of the sort that you'd find in a coffee table book, otherwise it would be more suited to posting at www.waypoint.org. Generally virtual caches are placed in locations where a traditional cache would not be allowed or would be inappropriate, since the virtual prevents a later physical cache being placed within a 0.1-mile radius of that spot. It looks like your cache description starts out as an ideal multistage cache hunt leading to a physical cache in the woods, but it just doesn't get there for some reason.
Often a micro cache can be readily placed at or near the same spot submitted as a virtual cache. That would not only bring people to your special spot but gives them a physical cache to find as well.
Please reference the cache name and ID number when/if you reply via e-mail.
NOTE: do not select reply in your e-mail program if you wish to respond to this message from the geocaching.com mail bot. Go to your cache page and e-mail mtn-man from the archive log there.
Thanks for your understanding,
