btreviewer: Esta cache foi arquivada por falta de uma resposta atempada e/ou adequada perante as situações relatadas. Relembro a secção das guidelines sobre a manutenção http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=307#maint :

[quote]
You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time – normally a few weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Because of the effort required to maintain a geocache, we ask that you place physical caches in your usual caching area and not while on a vacation or business trip. It is best when you live within a manageable distance from the cache placements to allow for return visits. Geocaches placed during travel may not be published unless you are able to demonstrate an acceptable maintenance plan, which must allow for a quick response to reported problems. An acceptable maintenance plan might include the username of a local geocacher who will handle maintenance issues in your absence.[/quote]

Como owner, se tiver planos para recolocar a cache, por favor, contacte-me por [url=http://www.geocaching.com/email/?u=btreviewer]e-mail[/url].

Lembro que a eventual reactivação desta cache passará pelo mesmo processo de análise como se fosse uma nova cache, com todas as implicações que as guidelines actuais indicam.

Se no local existe algum container, por favor recolha-o a fim de evitar que se torne lixo (geolitter).

Obrigado

Geocache Description:


A QUINTA DA MORGERALDA

A quinta da Morgeralda fica situada na freguesia de Nossa senhora das Neves, concelho de Beja, junta à estrada que liga aquela a Porto-Peles.
A quinta fazia parte de um conjunto de hortas em redor de Beja, na sua maior parte assentes em estruturas romanas. Estas quintas tinham como finalidade abastecer a cidade.
No século XVIII este abastecimento era obrigatório, sendo os hortelões obrigados a vender os seus produtos na cidade, todas as terças feiras.


PÓRTICO

Pórtico é formado por um arco de volta inteira, em granito.
Os azulejos datam de metade do século XVII.

Por este arco passava o caminho que ligava a serra de Serpa com os campos baixos dos arredores de Beja; e era aqui que os pastores e os seus enormes rebanhos pernoitavam.


A FONTE

Esta fonte propriedade da quinta, hoje sem qualquer aproveitamento directo, corre para um ribeiro ali perto, onde se encontra uma bica, e ai se pode saborear o néctar das profundezas da terra.
Sendo este potável, convida um geocaching a prova-lo. Mas nestas coordenadas 38º00.944 N 007º48.068 O
