Massacre in Austin, revived Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

Another reincarnation of the Massacre in Austin cache in Seiders Springs Park along Shoal Creek.

The previous cache (GC258EV) got muggled too many times, so we replaced it with a different container, in a different location but with the same coordinates!!!

Quiet city park and historical spot

The original incarnation of this cache, Massacre in Austin (GCQMRD), was the second cache that FiedoGang ever found (in December 2006). The location is within Fiedo's Neighborhood in a lovely spot along Shoal Creek. We were inspired to reactivate this in response to a thread on the CenTex Geocachers listserv asking about caches near waterfalls, regardless of how small.

The following paragraph is adapted from the description of the original cache, which has been DNF since October 2008 and was archived in April 2009.

This area is wheelchair accessible until the last 20 feet or so, where someone in a chair would need help. This is a great park you and your family will enjoy. Somewhat secluded but lots of muggles after work and in the mornings jogging and biking, so be careful when logging the cache. While you are there you may find some tranquility. Be sure to read the interesting -- if not extremely significant -- history of the area on the plaque across the creek (there are also a pair of signs just north of GZ).

Please be sure to re-hide carefully. There are lots of hikers and bikers on the trails.
