+Rocky Road and Annie Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My husband and I placed a vacation cache in Ireland (I know, I know, we were not supposed to do that but we had a local cacher watching out for it at a wonderful location at a wonderful old friary). Anyway, the local cacher moved and four years later after being found many times with many positive comments about the location, the cache went missing, so we were forced to archive it. However, lately, we received an email from another couple who would like to be the overseers of the cache with us still as the owners. How do we un-archive the cache? The edit function on the cache page says that we cannot do that but must contact the local reviewer for approval but we have no way of knowing who that is. So now what? Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Suburban Hillbillies Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Only a reviewer can unarchive. Contact your local reviewer, and they can possibly help point you to the reviewer of that area. Quote Link to comment

+Suburban Hillbillies Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 On second thought, have the new person republish the cache, then the owner is close by, and no one has to go through the whole riga-ma-row of unarchiving an old cache, and worrying about maintenance. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment

I believe the original reviewer is no longer active, and I can tell you that we do not unarchive cache pages for the purpose of ownership transfers. It will be best to have the other couple create their own cache page, perhaps naming the original cache as its predecessor and/or you as the original creator of the cache at that location. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
