Pofe: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks,

Geocache Description:

A Myst-inspired multi at the Ringwood Manor area of Ringwood State Park.

From ancient times, it has been believed that there are elements, basic forms which come together to create all that we know of as matter. However, the elements of the ancients are more like the states or phases of matter that we know of today, as compared to the 117 chemical elements that we now know of. Instead, Air is gas, Water is liquid, Earth is solid, and Fire is as close as you can get to plasma. Also, if the arrangement of the elements in a diamond (visit link)
is arranged over a compass rose (visit link)
Then clear associations between the classical elements and direction show up. Furthermore, there are associations between color and the classical elements, and you probably already know them, but for review: Air - black/white; Water - blue; Earth - brown/black; Fire - red/yellow.
Bring a compass, some paper and a pen or pencil, and if you need it, a calculator.
You will be starting at S1AIR, Air.
Good luck!
