You are fine. The cache location is compromised. You are fighting a losing battle. Your intent was for the cache to remain in place for a long time, however real life got in the way. Archive and call it a lesson learned.

 

The guidelines don't mean that you need to keep replacing the cache as a futile effort. They merely mean that you plan on leaving the cache in place for at least a few months. After that time and chance happen and you can only shrug and say 'oh well'.

Sometimes this happens, the location is not what you hoped it would be. It is OK to archive, and rethink and replan you next hide.

 

Keep the faith.

I don't think there's any time frame on that. Not sure of the location or the size, but I usually look at that as a challenge between me and the muggles and try to devise a camo job that allows the cache to exist but the muggles never find it

[+KJcachers]

you could also disable it for a while and put it back in play later and hopefully the muggles will have forgotten about it.

What has work for me is moving a cache about 50 feet. If you are placing it in the same spot the muggle that found it is comming back looking for it.

I took a quick look at a map of the area and I'd say archive it since gardeners (or upkeepers) will constantly find it. If you really like this spot, though, is there street sign to which you could attach a micro right there? That's an appropriate hide for this location.

 

However... is that a small park just to the west (or just a really big yard)... ???

Let it go. Spot is clearly comprimised. Good spots turn out to be bad spots sometimes. Archive it and chalk it up to a lesson learned - nobody will be mad at you.

I found this cache and I think the issue is that it looks like a piece of junk and is sitting in the open in the landscaping. Anyone who attends to the landscaping will take it everytime and trash it. You can use the same container, but you'll have to move it where it won't be trashed again and again. Or cammo it better and move it just a little to keep it from being spotted. Either it is a cool container.

 

To answer the question though. You can go ahead and archive it no problem. People won't be bothered. However, people will be bothered if it stays disabled longer than necessary.
