I had the same sense reading through this thread. I can't find the thread we are thinking of but I recall that there were a few houses in it and the residents took umbrage at the geocachers coming in (I think there were several caches placed) Or am I mis-remembering all of this? I have not seen that thread, but there are absolutely NO houses in the development I'm looking at, so I don't forsee that being a problem.

Thank you John in Valley Forge. I have looked them up in the property taxes, but haven't gleaned any new information. The owner name just lists the corporate name of the developer, which I already knew. Unfortunately the only contact info provided is a mailing address in Miami, no number. I have reached out via their number provided thru their website, but no reply. According to ecanderson though, the locations I had in mind are more in the clear. Thank you for the link, I will definitely be using it in the future!

Thank you ecanderson, I did not know that! The complex definitely has all those things you listed, and the roads and/or near the sidewalks is where I planned to stay anyway, so that's perfect. Thanks again for the insight!

Are there caches in the area? The reviewer and other cachers might already know the deal. That place would need to be monitored by the Cache Owner, permission or not. As it changes owners/developers, the site may change, yet may otherwise appear abandoned. Maybe the OP can keep tabs on construction progress somehow. There's a cache I know at an "abandoned construction site", perhaps a housing development or office complex, and an old "No Trespassing" sign that you almost can't read anymore, at the entrance. You have to drive down the weird streets laid in that open field, to get to the coffee can at the back of the property. It's creepy, and I guess it would be cool. But I can't get away with that kind of thing. I'm a LEO magnet, and at any given iffy cache, I'm always get told to "get out of there". The cache page would have to be very clear that if anyone questions me, I can say "I'm Geocaching" and will be allowed to then go about my Geocaching. Otherwise, I can't stand those places. Thank you for the input Kunarion. I am sorry to hear about your magnetism with LEO, not fun for sure. There aren't any "No Trespassing" signs in the area. I also live in the residential complex across the street from the abandoned development. It was originally meant to be an extension of this one, but due to the housing crisis, the plan was abandoned. The town-home section of my own neighborhood was never even finished. There are only one or two buildings, when there is room for at least twelve. There is new development in the area, residential mostly, so it is a possibility that is may be bought and developed. But I can easily monitor the situation from home.

I will try to upload a pic when I have a chance!

I find abandoned developments fascinating, so I really appreciate caches that lead me to one. +1 Especially nice if the cache description includes photos of what used to be at that site and/or history about the development. I find it interesting to see past and present photos of a city block or neighborhood, to see how the area has changed over time. Thank you both for the support. I grew up around contractors and construction, so abandoned developments fascinate me too. What I had in mind is kind of a puzzle/multi cache hybrid. It's like a multi, but you have to solve riddles to get from box to box, rather than just input coords. I have read from prior forum topics, this would find it's final listing under the mystery cache, but I digress. I will try to contact the last name given again, but if a property is abandoned, does that mean there's nothing I can do?

Hey! I'm looking for some help on what to do for permission. The property in question is corporate owned by a developer and has been "on sale"/abandoned for almost a decade now. The number on the "for sale" sign has been disconnected it's been so long. I have tried looking up a number on their website, but the number I called, the woman said she had no idea how to handle what I wanted and sent me to someone else. I called them and they are not answering. The cache I want to place would be around street signs and things of that nature. There are no buildings at the actual site, as they abandoned the original project before getting that far. What would be the best way to proceed?

I feel a little silly asking this, but I can't find the meaning anywhere... What does SQ stand for? I can gleam that it has something to so with cemeteries, since that is where I typically see it, but what does it stand for?
