Europe's Highest? Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

McRover: Hi,

I note that your cache is temporarily disabled too long. A temporal deactivation should not exceed a few months. If this geocache is really missing, I can't keep having it posted on Geocaching.com, this would prevent future caches to be approved of other members who were placed in the vicinity of this, as according the rules of Geocaching.com nobody can hide caches within 161 meters of other caches published on the web. Therefore, I archive this cache instead.

Please, if you intend to repair this cache let me know and I'll reactive it again. Thanks to your efforts many geocachers can enjoy it again.

Anyway, I thank you for your contribution to Geocaching and I look forward to hearing from you and your geocache soon.
