Tried to find a relevant existing thread with no luck. Closest was wanting to adopt an archived cache. There are several caches in our area that have been seemingly abandoned by their owner/s and have had 'maintenance needed' attributes attached for some time. In one case, the owner's last log-in to geocache was 2007. However, none of these caches have been disabled nor archived. How can we go about adopting a cache where the owners are MIA? We were in/near Fallon, NV but have moved permanently to the Palm Springs, CA area for health reasons and are getting back into geocaching on a regular basis. Thanks for any guidance.

I for one really appreciate seeing how many finds cachers have that log finds on my caches. I see no value in seeing avatars of those who log a find, the smiley face was just fine. Quit trying to be a social network and get back to the basics. Who found the cache, when they found it and their log of the find Exactly. We (for 2 more) liked it the way it was. If I want social networking, I sure won't do it on Geocache ...

Have to agree that the old style was definitely preferred. 'New' isn't always 'better' ...
