*gln: ### ARCHIVING CACHE ###

Since you haven't repaired your cache I can only assume that your priorities have changed and you’ve gone in a different direction.

While I feel that we should hold the location for you we can't do so forever.
If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the VERY near future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Thanks,

Geocache Description:

Kansas City ranks second in the world in number of fountains erected in the city. Only Rome, Italy, has more. This is one in the series of fountain caches honoring this distinction.

Take note of the memorial and the "Avenue of Trees" while observing this fountain.

The Seahorse Fountain was donated to the city by J.C. Nichols and installed in 1925. The center sculpture stood in a square in Venice, Italy for about 300 years before Mr. Nichols bought it. The bowls, made of Carrara marble (quarried in Carrara, Italy) are held up by 3 seahorses, 3 cherubs and a dolphin. With limestone pedestal, it is 16 feet high. With the redesigning of the traffic circle in 1994, it was found that the figures had deteriorated beyond repair and so were recast in sandstone.
