+tangerineman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've decided to archive a few of my caches to free up space for others to place their own hides - all caches that have been around for a couple of years or more, some have had as many as 70 finds. But as more and more cachers have already found them, some of them have had only a hand-full of finds in the past year. So I thought what's the point of holding onto this space. I'm all about new beginnings. I've removed one from Bluffers' Park (Over There?), and am about to remove (now archived) 9 from Walker Woods/Glen Major Forest- a fanTASTIC forest bordered by Westney Rd to the west, Uxbridge Rd to the East, south of Goodwood Road. In this area I had Partridge in a Pine Tree, 2 Turtle Doves, 3 French Hens, 4 Calling Birds, 5 Gold Rings, 7 Lords a Leaping, 8 Maids 'a Milking, 9 Pipers Piping and 12 Drummers Drumming....also 6 Geese a'Laying and 11 Swans a Swimming, both on or above the shore of L. Ontario have been archived and will soon be removed. Let the hiding begin! Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 you should put a cache on "Over there" stg1.. though it would have to be pretty weather hardy! Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I was part of the FTF team on Over There. It was a pretty cool cache. Still remember the Marine Unit raising their eyebrows when I told them what I needed. Quote Link to comment
+hikerT Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I like the idea of announcing archivals and new spots opening up. It might get the hiders out there faster so there's more for me to find [] Quote Link to comment
+tangerineman Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have to admit, I wasn't sure what response I'd get to pulling these caches. So far it's all good Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Must be contagious. I updated my database today and over 75 caches, within 140 km of my place, were archived. Quote Link to comment
+tangerineman Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I always fail to see myself as a trend-setter, but the numbers say it all. Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 its spring cleaning - the fair weather cachers are waking from their hibernation cycle and finding the caches gone/broken. Archived a couple myself today, but they all made it through winter. Just relocating them! Quote Link to comment
+Cedar Grove Seekers Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've always meant to get out to Over There? with my kayak. This past summer I had two newborns at home, and for some reason my wife wouldn't let me bring them in the cargo holds of the kayak. My loss for not getting out there earlier. As for the Days of Christmas series, my father and I spent a day doing many of these - had a lot of fun. Great area for some new caches. Quote Link to comment
