I see a difference
of opinion here..
Yes it did get done,
how long after it went missing?
Now if it
disappeared or got damaged tomorrow, how long would it take to
replace?
I do not believe
this was done to spite anyone even though the cache owner accuses the admin of
this in open public forum. Again, difference of opinion, it could well have been
done via email to the geocaching.com address and done with admins on levels that
the caching community would not have known. If you want to bring this up as an
attack, then keep in mind this same cacher made at least a few caches I know of
with no log sheet. When told the caches needed log sheets they logged into the
site and said it had one and should not have been touched by admins. I had done
one of the caches that had no logsheet and the owner put a log there but in his
statement online he said it already had one.. So why would this person have to
make a statement that was incorrect to this nature?
I think this is
between 360 and the admins. I dont see how admin did anything wrong, but then
again, I seem to agree with the minority that we have a good approver who does
everything they can to make this a good game and to keep things as close to the
letter if not the spirit of the rules as possible.
Then again, maybe I
am rambling and CO Admin is out to destroy geocaching as others from the Phoenix
area have said.

admin archives the plaque
The maintanence was done, and it got archived anyway.
from the log:
"Thanks to Team 360 sending it to me, a new mini-cache "Altoids"
container with log sheet has been placed at the Tribute Plaque. I hope this
one lasts longer. "

was too harsh at all. I have found many a great headstone or historical
location that I wanted to make a virtual because I knew I could not drive
there in a reasonable time to replace a logbook. Many cachers created a
boatload of virtuals and after the sign has been missing for months they still
dont do anything for the cache because it is _only a virtual_ and they have no
intention of checking it.
I personally found
a virtual the other day and had the owner tell me my answer was wrong. I
quoted the plaque and they went to look at it and low and behold I was correct
and the cache owner was incorrect.. Is this and issue?
Depends..
If the cache
owner lived 200 miles away, I doubt they would have diven to the site and
confirmed my answer..
Virtuals have a
great place, but as I have been told by admins and agree, if you cannot
maintain a logbook in the area, you most likely cannot maintain a virtual
there either.
If the cache owner
would have done the maint that they said they would, the cache would not have
been archived..
The cache can be
reactivated when and if the problem with the log is
corrected.
if the cache owner
does not care enough, then it should be archived. I have requested many caches
to be archived when they go 6 months with nofinds and no attempt to fix
them.
