No, but you can place a new cache at that location. I would recycle those old caches.

Just though id check before putting a new cache out . Thanks

Nope. You need the owners permission. If you don't drive your car and ignore my phone calls, does that mean I can have your car?

 

Anyway if the caches are archived there's no point in adopting them. To get unachievable they would have to be reviewed again. Might as well give cachers another smileyface.

 

Just remember though; there's a small chance they may be on one of the other geocaching websites, or private caches. Since they're in good condition they may also have been archived due to other issues such as permission. Or maybe they are part of a puzzle cache. So doing anything with the containers could affect people just like a ,is sing cache affects us.
