Attention Florida Cachers

[+Litehaus]

To anyone in the Daytona Beaches/Ponce Inlet area:

 

My wife and I have 2 caches in that area. They are sentimental as you might guess from the name:

GC2JQWR A Year Ago Today - Proposal Cache

GC2V2R3 A Year Ago Today - Wedding Cache

They were placed, you guessed it, a year after I proposed to my wife and a year after we were married.

 

Here's the problem:

-------------------

We live in PA but had a friend in South Daytona who was looking after the caches

18 months ago the friend moved to Ohio.

The caches went missing but we could not travel to Florida as we were both having health issues.

Last Thanksgiving we made it to Fl and found that Proposal cache was still where it was supposed to be. Wedding cache though was missing and we replaced it.

When we asked Reviewer to reactivate them, they had been archived, he would not because of our distance from the caches.

 

Now we feel that Reviewer was doing his job.

 

What we're asking:

------------------

Is there anyone who would agree to either

Agree to maintain the caches if they need it between our annual visits.

--or--

Agree to adopt the caches but keep their name and tribute to us.

 

Our Alternative:

----------------

We were already half way home before Reviewer had time to get back to us so the caches are out. If we can't get help we will pick them up next trip.

 

Thank in advance,

Moving this from Geocaching Topics to the South and Southeast forum. Hopefully you can get more help there from locals.

I don't believe we can unarchive caches to get the adopted to someone else.

It is important to consider the time-frame. Both of the caches have been archived for (average) a year. Other caches may very well have been placed during that interim. To retract the archival(s) would quite likely impose a saturation issue with a legitimately placed "new" cache.

 

That's why archive retractions are rare, very rare, indeed.

""" Litehaus """ My hat is off to you for working with the local reviewer to solve your problem.

 

Many times you see on these forums folks are posting only the negative, not the positive as you have

 

Good luck to you on getting them back up working with you Fla reviewer.
