Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

PARK AND GRAB....plz be careful of muggles, they are really everywhere except maybe after 6pm or before 7am.

The majority opinion is that McAllen was founded in 1909 and incorporated Feb. 21, 1911. James McAllen came to the valley in early 1850's from Edinburgh, Scotland. He owned 65,000 acres in the area here. In 1909, William Briggs and other inventors purchased 1200 acres at $3.50 per acre.

The history of McAllen and the lower RGValley date back centuries. Aztec Indians from Central Mexico made annual trips to the area to gather peyote to be used in tribunal rituals. In 1519, Alonzo de Pineda discovered the mouth of Rio Grande, making this the second place in the US visited by European explorer's after Columbus discovered America in 1492.
