avroair Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 We picked up SBUX 15 - I-95 Rest Stop yesterday. Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Groundspeak processed five adoptions of SBUX caches at my request today -- yes, on a Sunday. Fantastic service from the Head Frogs, and a continuing positive response from the community helping out with this situation. Thanks everyone. You should now have an email offering to adopt the only one really close to me. (GC7570) Also had to clean 5 very interesting ones out of my "to do" list [] Quote Link to comment
+Team KwikSilver Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 At this time we are only worrying about caches in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. There may be one or two in New England states (other than NH which is already taken care of), but the volunteer for those states is following up with the designated cache maintainers. KA- I offered to pick up the virtuals in Central/Eastern PA.... since they involved minimal (if any) maintenance..... I was told that they weren't up to GC specs. That's OK and all, but I visited the sites yesterday (during a two-tank marathon) and some of them were very cool. Would hate to see good ones go astray. Quote Link to comment
MapheadMike Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I've taken a few excerpts on the general problem of archived caches in the field (beyond SBUX) and started a new thread on the Geocaching Topics forum. That'll leave this thread for SBUX herself. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I would like to thank the many Maryland geocachers, as well as a group traveling through Maryland, who collectively have accounted for all but one of SBUX's caches hidden in that state. The only remaining cache of concern in Maryland is SBUX 32 - Perry Hall M.P., which is Northeast of Baltimore off Route 1. If someone could pick up or adopt that one, it would be great. All other caches were previously confirmed missing, have been adopted, have a note on the page indicating that an adoption is in process, or have a note on the page confirming that the cache has been removed.

+kingsting Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'd like to adopt some of the SBUX caches in Middletown, PA. I'll post some notes on the ones that I want. Sticking with the geolitter theme.... I lost a big fat ammo can when a creek flooded during Hurricane Ivan. Would this be considered geolitter? Is there anybody in Deleware or Maryland that has seen a lost ammo can? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 kingsting, Please write an e-mail to your local Geocaching.com volunteer, listing the caches you are interested in. A note on the cache page won't reach a volunteer as we haven't had the time to watchlist them all. Thanks for your concern! An ammo box cache in my area also floated away in Hurricane Ivan. It was found several miles downstream, and washed up in someone's back yard along the banks of the creek. The property owner found it and was converted to geocaching! So, think of your lost cache not as geo-litter, but as a creative recruitment tactic! Quote Link to comment

When I hear back from her, I'll mention some others I could tend to. As far as my poor lost little ammo can, I think it's long gone or under a debris pile someplace... Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I know this isn't for the SouthEast, but I've checked and all the SBUX caches in TN are completely gone, so no worries on those three being geolitter. Quote Link to comment
+DeskJocky Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wow, when I stared this topic I figured it would take months for these listings to be "cleaned up." I'm surpised how fast it is happening, I guess I under estimated how everone would react.... Quote Link to comment

+Airsafety Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have adopted SBUX 10 in Leesburg, VA... it's open and ready for business! This was my second find, and my first micro... I was amazed by all the log entries at the time. I am quite sad to see SBUX leaving the sport. I'm looking forward to maintaining this cache, as it holds fond memories for many, and I wish SBUX the very best in her future endeavors. ~ Airsafety Quote Link to comment
+The Sage Elminster Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 How do I know who my local Geocache volunteer is to adopt some of the SBUX catches? I live in Lancaster County and we have been trying to compile a list over the last day or two. Daisy (Sage's other half) Quote Link to comment
