In the meantime I am disabling the cache.

Guidelines:

  • 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.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

If you no longer wish to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I do not receive it. Posting a reviewer note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived. Here is the link to the relevant part of the guidelines Ownership after publication.

Geocache Description:

Caches Of The Spanish Main

The Spanish Main was the stretch of coastline in the Americas controlled by Spain in the 16th through the 18th centuries. It stretched along the northern coast of South America, across Central America along the Caribbean, and up into the lower part of North America. This region became a popular spot for pirates and privateers who wanted to take advantage of Spain's heavily laden treasure ships.

Spanish colonies in the Americas stretched across a huge swath of land at one point. This land was rich in gold, minerals, spices, and a variety of other exotic treasures. The Spanish exported treasures in large treasure ships, which often traveled in fleets for protection. By keeping an eye on a few key ports along the Spanish Main, pirates and other raiders could figure out the best time to strike.

Thanks to the fact that pirates congregated throughout the Spanish Main, the term “Spanish Main” has come to have romantic connotations, especially in societies where people have an enduring interest in pirates and the history of piracy. Sailing the Spanish Main was certainly profitable for pirates and privateers, especially those who were bold enough to go after larger fleets.

Many thanks to Mandarin Lake for placing the original cache.
