[Az-Geocaching] Adopting a cache

[Bob & Linda Smith]

Good Morning Jared,
If a local owner has contacted GC and Michael told me about it the whole 
matter would be dropped..  I would fully understand that reason.  So far 
I've not been told that..  I'll see what he says from my last email to 
him..

  I agree with the Steves on this one. Since you're more familiar with 
the cache location can you think of any reason why that cache placement 
might not be approved under the current guidelines? It may have been a 
"grandfathered" cache based on some small guideline that has changed. 
If a grandfathered cache was archived I don't think they would allow it 
to be adopted and reactivated.

  Please keep us in the loop, I'm interested to know how this develops.

  A) Caches are un-archived all the time, occasionally under just such a 
scenario.
  B) You are talking to the wrong guy, you need to contact RadRunner, 
our approver.
  C) If all else fails, put a new cache in the same spot. I know it's 
nice to keep the old history, so maybe you will have to call your cache 
'A tribute to 'All Aboard' Gone'.
  D) After reviewing the cache page, it appears there is something more 
to the story. Perhaps a local business owner has contacted Groundspeak 
about the cache?

The reality is that the methods are there to dearchive and then adopt.

So, the question is, what is the reasons that Michael is stepping in.
This is odd for the Community relations folks to do this.
* Has someone in the cache area requested that the cache die?
* Is there a change in GC policy? (Older caches must die, whatever).
* Is he just a pain in the .... and wants to give you grief.

Contact Michael directly?

  OK everyone, I need to find out why an archived cache can't be
un-archived so the adopt program can be used.  I am trying to get a
cache back on line that the original owner can no longer maintain.  I
was told by Michael LaPaglia at GC.com that once a cache is archived it
can not be un-archived.  I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that a
cache could be un-archived and brought back on line.  If you want to
look at the cache on line the way point is GCJWPV
