+Morning Dew Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Stopped for a quick cache on the way to work. I don't have my GPS with me so I can't tell you the GC number but I swear it was titled "George W" and the hint was finish the title. The coordinates took me just 2' NE of what was obviously a big bush but had been recently cut down. All the stalks remained but were cut close to the ground. There wasn't a whole lot in the area so I figured this has to be it. I looked through the stalks and leaves for a bit and then took off figuring it had been muggled. I go to GC.com to log my DNF and I can't find the cache? Can caches be permentantly removed for some reason. I was under the impression they remained forever even after the owner archives and/or removes them. It should be located in this cemetery but I can't find it (on GC.com). N42 13.257 W86 04.704 (This is a cache in the cemetery but not the one I was looking for). Thanks. Quote
+Miragee Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 You cannot look for Archived caches . . . yet. We used to be able to see them on the maps and that functionality is supposed to be added again someday. If you know who the owner of the cache is, you can look it up from their Profile. Or, if you think a local cacher probably found it, you can look for the Archived cache in their Profile. Quote
+WeightMan Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 The cache itself may be gone for a number of reasons including the owner picking it up and archiving the listing. As was pointed out, we normally can't view archived listings. The only way for most of us is to know the owner's name and look it up through their profile. You can also look it up via the GC#. All but one of my archived caches were picked up (or had been taken). The one exception is one I can't get to. I wasn't sure if you were referencing the cache itself or the listing. Quote
Team Misguided Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Looks like it was GC154PG. It was archived a month ago. The container was recovered and removed according to the last logs. Quote
+Morning Dew Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 Yes, this is the cache. Care to share how you found it? Also, it figures the owner just picked up 11 days ago. I would have been able to see it but I was a little late. Quote
Keystone Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Yes, this is the cache. Care to share how you found it? She enslaved herself to the Frog. (Volunteer cache reviewers can see archived cache listings when using our reviewer accounts.) Quote
+Michael Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 The cache was removed by the owner on the 26th of March. It never pays to cache with old data. Quote
CoyoteRed Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Well... Sometimes Agreed. There are caches that are still active in the wild though archived here. Quote
+Taoiseach Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Well... Sometimes Agreed. There are caches that are still active in the wild though archived here. I found one the other day I hadn't realised that it had been archived for 3 months Quote
