Piscatacache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

* SPIFFY NEW PISCATACACHE FOR 2022! *

Smack dab between two states and in the middle of one of the most powerful rivers in the world when the tide is moving, Four Tree Island is a really neat place. The cache is a small, waterproof container with official Geocaching stickers. Although the paths on the island are in great condition, off path there are steep and slippery rock embankments and the mighty Piscataqua is only a few feet away. If you fall in at the right time of the day you will be out to sea before you know it! If that happens be sure to wave at the Coast Guard and Naval Stations on your way by wink

Seriously: take care, have fun and THANKS for visiting our caches!

  • UPDATE 05 August 2021: HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY TO PISCATACACHE! Now we are Ten. We are thrilled that so many people have had fun searching for this cache over the last decade.
     
  • UPDATE 26 June 2022: We are pleased to announce the placement of a brand new, 2022 PISCATACACHE. After a decade on the river we're not sure if the old one simply floated out to sea or was taken as a trifle by one of the ghosts of Four Tree Island. Hopefully this new one will last at least half-as-long!!
     
  • 01 July 2022 CONGRATULATIONS to NJGANDO and his Son for being the First To Find the new cache container! 

Happy Geocaching!
