Hey all -
So I thought I'd throw this question out to the masses of well-opinioned cachers.
There are two caches that are now archived within 1/2 mile of me. They have sentimental memories for us, because they are the first couple caches we found after setting up our own handle on this site. Plus they're close to home base and are a tie to the historical points of our community.
I first thought to adopt them and drag them from the archives back into the light of day, replace, and maintain them to their former glory. So, I reached out to the COs (two different people in the same caching family). They have thus far been unresponsive to my requests and haven't been around here in years. I'm thinking this approach is not going to work.
Next, I thought, well I'll contact a site reviewer, volunteer, or whoever appropriate and request if I can adopt them that way. I'm not sure if this is even a process or feasible.
Finally, I thought, heck with it... I'll just hide new hides in these two spots, give them similar slightly different names, put all the juicy historical content back in the descriptions and start fresh. But that kind of defeats the point of reviving old caches for sentimental value and paying tribute to the cachers before us who placed these neat hides and also all those who logged these caches.
Thoughts? I'm open to kind suggestions.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this when you could've been out caching!
