Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Benjamin Franklin

The cache is placed on the grounds of the oldest elementary school in Cape Girardeau. Franklin opened its doors in 1927.

Named for our most well-known founding father, Benjamin Franklin (17 Jan 1706 - 17 Apr 1790) was a leading author, politician, printer, scientist, philosopher, publisher, inventor, civic activist, and diplomat. As a scientist he was a major figure in the history of physics for his discoveries and theories involving electricity. As a political writer and activist, he more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation. Franklin the diplomat secured the French alliance that made independence possible.

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Words of wisdom certainly applicable 300 years later.....

**The school is still active and permission has been granted to place this cache. Please exercise common sense. This school is active so if possible, hunt this cache after school hours or weekends. Folks tend to get a little skeptical when strangers are milling around school grounds.
