Chuck Walla: Hello ygo2slow,

Geocaching HQ uses a calculation called Health Score which rates caches to identify those that might need attention from the cache owner. Emails are sent by Geocaching HQ to the cache owners of low scoring caches to encourage them to check on their caches. To learn more about the Health Score and what can affect your cache's Health Score, I recommend that you read this Help Center article (link).

Based upon its Health Score, this cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. You should have received an email about this some time ago.

I see no evidence that you have done anything in response to this email. Therefore, I am temporarily disabling this cache until you, the owner, can check on its status. After checking the cache and doing any necessary maintenance, you can click on the “enable listing” button on the top of the cache page to reactivate it. You do not have to contact me to do it for you.Also, please post an Owner Maintenance log after you have checked on your cache.

NOTE: If your cache is actually there, you might consider raising the Difficulty rating on it, as it may be much harder to find than the Difficulty rating shown on your cache page.

Please be aware that if you do not take action to address the issue with your cache within 30 days of the date of this log, or at least post a note to your cache page that you intend to do so, it will be archived at the direction of Geocaching HQ.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:

Fort Smith Historic Cache

One of seven houses of ill-repute in the red-light district, Miss Laura's Social Club was known as the"Queen of the Row" in the bordertown of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Built in 1896 as The Riverfront Hotel, the building was purchased in 1898 by Laura Zeigler who had moved to Arkansas from Vermont. She opened it as a brothel in 1903. Perched on the Arkansas River, it came to be known as the "grandest bordello of the west" in the rough-and-tumble town of Fort Smith. Legalized prostitution ended in 1924 and the building fell into disrepair following the death of the second madam, Bertha Gale Dean. Donald W. Reynolds purchased the building in 1963 to save it from the wrecking ball. In early 1973, it became the first bordello to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2009 a geocache was placed at this location to honor the hard working ladies of Fort Smith who just want to have a good time! Named after one of the hardest working gals I know, and a member of the original Miss Laura's Players. Any geocaching trip to Fort Smith should start at Miss Laura's!
