Its interesting, that the old cache is a 1/1 and the new cache is a 4/5 at the same location.

The contents were dry and the origanl log was in tack and readable. That is how I found out what cache it was. Looking at the old photo the area has changed a lot. The 1 1 rating is almost all orbit used I don't think back then the Idea of rating a cache was an issue just place it and leave the settings alone. The numbers of stars and that is a newer thing to fill grids and other trivial things. I will bring the container to some events to show how long a cheap container can stay in good shape . Maybe the first container that I have fell down the hollow tree hole and was replaced with the one KB took out?

If it's been archived, why hasn't it been CITOed? Evil or Very Mad

Read the logs and you'll understand.

The loneliest cache I found was in Ontario. It was the final cache of a series, but two of the caches you had to find to get the code to the final had been archived. So it hadn't been found in almost two years. Before going there, I e-mailed a previous finder, and he very generously told me almost exactly where to look. I posted a picture of the logbook in my log to the cache, but I decided to leave my GPS visible in that photo, with the coordinates displayed. I figured the cache wasn't really doing anybody any good without being able to be found. Since then, it's been found six times. Weirdly, the cache owner recently maintained the cache, but the two precursor caches are still archived.

I have found 2 archived but not removed caches in the past, and just removed one of my own. When people don’t put a cache back where it was initially placed, the CO may not find it either and assume it has been muggled. I went to GZ twice to find a 2/2 cache before archiving it and giving up the location. I was surprised when people started to find it after a new cache was placed in the area, and at how far it had wandered from it’s initial GZ.

I've found 24 archived caches; I have a list in my profile. My favorite is a puzzle I found 5 years after it had been archived. Mostly they were left by hiders who lost interest in caching and didn't remove their hides, but in a few cases the hider couldn't find them. (Actually I DNF'ed my own cache once too when trying to CITO it, but several people found it afterwards.) In one case the hider died, in another case the hider didn't live in the area...
