Cache-tech: 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.
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 (Mine) across the top and then click on this 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 for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:

Stop #6 in the Hespeler Series. *** MICRO - PEN NEEDED ***

Hespeler is not just a town, its a life style!!

A Short History
Water power on the Speed River was the genesis of settlement in what would become (in 1858) the village of Hespeler in Waterloo Township. Early mill sites were developed by Pennsylvania German and continental German settlers from 1835. The village developed around these, with a post office from 1851. Early and unofficial names for the village were Bergeytown and New Hope. It was the entrepreneurship of Jacob Hespeler which established the locale as a thriving mill town, in its heyday manufacturing predominantly textiles. Hespeler became one of the principal textile producing centers in Canada. With the decline of Canadian textile manufacturing in the mid-twentieth century, Hespeler suffered drastic unemployment. In later years diversification brought renewal to the Hespeler area, and the town’s amalgamation with Preston and Galt in 1973 also served to promote regrowth.

The Cache
