Wizard of Ooze: Hello,
I’m a volunteer reviewer for geocaching.com. In a routine check of area caches, I see that your cache has been missing for an extended period of time. The geocaching guidelines include a section on disabled caches: http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.), or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem. You are permitted a reasonable amount of time – generally up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing. If you decide not to replace a missing cache, please archive the listing.

I’ve archived your listing to make way for new, active caches to be placed. If you would like to resubmit a new cache at the location, please feel free to do so and it will be reviewed according to the current geocaching guidelines.

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching,

Chantrelle


The Chanterelle is a popular and fairly easy to find local mushroom usually hiding in clusters in our mossy douglas-fir and hemlock forests. It's is a yellowish-orange meaty funnel-shaped fungus with gill-like ridges that run almost all the way down it's stipe or stem. It has a fruity smell hinting of apricots and a mildly peppery taste. Chefs consider it an excellent edible mushroom and it's a nice bonus that they are high in vitamin C, and potassium and among the richest source of vitamin D. Like any mushrooms, don't eat any unless you are 100% sure it's what you're looking for. Chanterelles do have look-a-likes called the false chanterelle or jack-o-lantern mushroom both of which are poisenous.
