I think reading the other posts would have been useful on this point. This decision had nothing to do with Moun10Bike's willingness to take care of this cache. He has been indefatigable in his efforts to keep it going.
Thanks Addisonbr, point taken but while I haven't read them all - I have read enough of them and perhaps I've very unfairly lumped Lackeys and GS into the same group, moderators of our game.
Personally, in my opinion, if you're one of the 3082 cachers to of walked the "Tunnel of Light" already then you really shouldn't be in the debate about whether it lives or dies a tragic death. You've got it, yeah!!! Give the rest of us a chance to do the same.
I see this as giving the 5 million others cachers a chance to grab an Ape without having to apply for a visa or take malaria pills to find. Many, who have not had the means or time yet to travel thousands of miles, rent vehicles and hike hours through the woods.
This cache should not be a case of "too bad - so sad" and I for one really hope that the Lackeys at GS reconsider their decision.
