RedHiker: Hi, 5150_Recluse
I see that your cache has not been found for multiple years. It may still be there or could be missing, or have damage, but enough time has passed since it was successfully located that you should visit it. I'm going to disable it to remove it from the list of active caches. Please stop by and check on your geocache and see if it is still there. If it is, then please leave a note for geocachers and re-enable it. This will let people know they can look for it again.
If you can't verify your cache is still in place, then it might be time to archive it.
As the cache owner of a disabled geocache, there are three options available for you:
-
Vist your cache, verify any issues with it then fix and enable your cache within the next 31 days. so that it can move out of this state of limbo.
-
After visiting your cache, if you are not able to fix it in the next 31 days, then please create a new log note on your cache page letting the reviewer know you are aware that your cache needs attention and how/when you plan to take care of it. The reviewer will monitor and reply to these notes.
-
You can archive your cache, remove your container, and clean up the area as needed.
Please note that Geocaching HQ has put greater emphasis on "refreshing the gameboard" which means that the volunteer Reviewers will be more actively following up to make sure caches are maintained or archiving them as needed to free up space for new caches to replace any old ones that were not being properly maintained.
If none of the actions listed above are taken by you as the cache owner, this geocache will be archived by a volunteer reviewer.
Please note that geocaches that are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, are not eligible to be unarchived.
