Cache is archived, sits in the woods for 8 years

[+Ma & Pa]

Here is the first paragraph of a Multi cache we found today.

 

Back in 2002, The Chapmen hid a multi-cache in Port Elgin N.B. It had 13 finds before it was archived 4 years later. The cache remained there undisturbed from March, 2006 until Sept, 2014. This cache is hidden almost exactly like the original, same discription, same container and same contents.

More or less the same situation here: what a view!

Here's one that I found 8 years after archival, while looking for a spot to hide a cache.

After the find, I was contacted by the owner. They had gone out to do maintenance on their cache, but couldn't remember where they hid it so they archived it.

And after 3 DNFs and an NA, it was right where it should be, and in fine condition.

The DNF'ers must not have had thousands of finds apiece, because apparently, that is a deciding factor?

 

I did look at the cache page the other day, but I don't want to do it again while I'm typing. Is there permission to "take over" this old cache? Not a big deal, it was obviously archived and abandoned. But if I ever did this (and I almost did once), I'd personally like to say I tracked down the original owner and have permission to relist it.

The write-up says be careful with children. Apparently they're referring to the spoiler photos that 93.7% of the time have a child in them!
