[remove a cache]

How do I remove an owned cache?

[Too many caches]

All good points I agree with. These situations went through my mind and I was hoping that somebody affected by my suggestions would respond.

 

I live rurally. While this whole having too many caches in a concentrated area may be a problem for some there are a bunch of us who don't live in places with high cache saturation and where there aren't a lot of cachers. I like to cache rurally when doing road trips.

 

Automatically delisting a cache because it hasn't been logged for a year would be a problem here. A bunch of off the beaten path (or as my friends call it morbidly rural) caches don't get logged for over a year. This year I have found at least 3 that haven't been logged in a year or in one case 2 years. Two of those caches were extremely cool caches and it would be a shame if they automatically vanished because of an auto delisting. We do occasionally have new cachers here who should have the chance to experience it or even tourists coming through.

 

I have a few on my list to do that haven't been found in a year or two after the regulars did them. i would hate to see them gone before I got a chance to try.

 

Some puzzle caches go unfound for quite some time. There's no reason they should be archived. Also some high terrain caches go unfound for sometime (some of those up here as well). They aren't tieing up any spaces other people would use here. what about the caches in extremely rural places in other parts of the world that rarely get found? Are those caches really hurting anything being there?

 

The implications of what you say will affect a lot of us non-metropolitan cachers adversely. We shouldn't be punished because of your problems in a city environment.

[Too many caches]

Today's newsletter mentions the great number of caches in some areas.

I have had this discussion with other geocachers who wish to hide a cache near their base of operations but thee is no space left.

 

Maybe the topic has been discussed in a forum and I have missed it so I will take the risk of openign the topic again.

 

I am in this situation where I live. My 'not thouroughly thought through' suggestion is to have some rule, or policy, such as having a cache withdrawn, either by the owner, or automatic delisting, if a cache has not been logged for a year or more. This will then free up a space for a new cache.
