No response from cache owner.

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. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed, and it is time to have it listed once again it will be no problem as long as it still meets the guidelines. Just drop me a note( by email at Mongo@geocachingadmin.com) 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 of your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Mongo

Geocache Description:

Due to construction on this fountain in the past year this cache was removed and archived. Now that the construction is complete and the fountain is back in operation we have replaced this cache with a cache as part of the Fountain Tour Cache series. Below is a description of this beautiful fountain.

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.

Built in 1924 by the J.C. Nichols Company, this 250 foot by 65 foot pool features 3 water jets down the center of the pool and 4 stone flower baskets at the corners. The city lets the water freeze in the pool for winter ice skating. During the 1920's and 30's it was a popular place for miniature yacht racing by neighborhood boys just as the Northeast Concourse was.
