+JABs Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Should one log a find on a cache that has been archived that is still in place? Should this cache be logged and or removed? Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I fully believe that if the cache is archived but still in place there is nothing wrong with logging it as a Find -- in fact, I have done so in the past. If the owner and the cache have been inactive for a fairly long period of time I have also been known to pick up the geo-trash and haul it away. Others will say that it might still be listed on another caching website and thus still and "active" cache, but around here that has never been an issue. Quote Link to comment
crawil Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We have a legendary cacher from around there that quit several years ago and archived almost all of his hides but left them in place. There are bookmark lists of them and I've found and logged several. If it's still in play and viable, leave it alone, claim your smiley and move on! Quote Link to comment
+TeamAtlas Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We logged a find on an archived cache last week and the CO deleted the log. Quote Link to comment
rogheff Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If you found it, then log it. But just because it's archived on www.geocaching.com doesn't mean it's not listed on another website or is now a private cache. I'd recommend sending an email to the cache owner. Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Should one log a find on a cache that has been archived that is still in place? Should? I wouldn't say "should." "Can" is more accurate. You found it right? Just make sure it is the cache you think it is. It could be another iteration of a previous cache or a final for a puzzle or mystery. Should this cache be logged and or removed?It can be logged, if the owner allows, but should not be removed unless the owner says or it is absolutely obvious it is trash. As a rule of thumb, an archived, but maintained, cache is still a viable cache and still in play. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Should one log a find on a cache that has been archived that is still in place? Should this cache be logged and or removed? It depends on why it was archived. Some reasons for the archivable would not entertain new logs. Some won't matter. Most times I think it's fine. Quote Link to comment
