Disappearing Cache: Is It Magic?

Recommended Posts

A nearby cache, "Have Thee Faith", that I had not yet found, has disappeared from the list and from the map (Gainesville, FL). What would cause that to happen?

Looking at the Cache page, it was archived due to repeated mugglings, and was near a homeless camp apparently.

 

Plan on another one, have fun with the rest of them!

Just to help our new cacher out.

 

Caches can have one of three statuses.

 

1. Available - Go find it.

2. Temporarily Disabled - There is a problem with the cache and it probably can't be found. The cache owner plans of fixing it in the near future and then make it available again.

3. Archived - A cache can be archived for various reasons, but it basically means that the cache will never be available again. The record still exists and can be looked at provided that you have the GC# to look it up, but it will not be returned in a search and will no longer show on the map. This also opens up the area for others to place new caches. This particular cache had problems with people removing it and it's proximity to a homeless camp, so the owner decided to archive it.
