General Disarray: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of ‘a few weeks’ as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. 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, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

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

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Congrats to bes4me for the FTF!!!!!

This cache is part of my Coweta tour and showcases some of the nice neighborhoods we have. Parking across the street and watch for children playing, drive slow. ENJOY! This is in my front yard so no worries. (Look for the yard with the bird feeders and little pond) Hope you can cast well!

Before statehood, when the Five Tribes or Five Civilized Tribes were moved to Oklahoma from the Eastern United States, the area that is now Coweta became part of the Creek Nation. Coweta was named after a Creek Indian war town on the Chattahoochee River in southwestern Georgia and was first settled by American Indians about 1840. In 1843 Robert Loughridge arrived in the area and established a mission, named "Koweta".
In 1867 after the Civil War, the Creek Indians adopted a constitution which divided their nation into six districts. Everything northeast of the Arkansas River, including Tulsa, became the Coweta district. The political center of this district was located in a log courthouse on Coweta Creek, about a quarter mile west from the modern day center of the downtown Coweta. The Post Office was established on May 24, 1897, and took its name from Koweta Mission. As a result of negotiations with the Congress appointed Dawes Commission regarding the allotment of tribal lands in 1898, the Creek courts’ jurisdiction was turned over to the Federal government.

Notable residents
- Junior Barnard, guitarist with Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. (1920-1951)
- Bill Bright, William R. "Bill" Bright (October 19, 1921 – July 19, 2003), founder Campus Crusade
- Rick Bryan (March 20, 1962- July 25, 2009), American Football defensive lineman who played for the Oklahoma Sooners and the Atlanta Falcons.
- Crooked X, rock band

This is one of many caches that I hope to put in Coweta. This is a great little town with great things to offer and I hope to share that with my fellow geocachers.
