Historic Greenwood Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

RedHiker: Hi, Paleopal

Please read this entire message to keep your cache from being archived. Action is required on your part.

I see that your cache may need some attention. It may be missing or damaged, but enough time has passed since it was successfully found that you should check up on it.

You can read more about why your cache may need help in this Help Center article Geocache Health Score

Please note that in addition to Did Not Find (DNF) logs on the cache, the Health Score also considers a DNF to exist if the Geocaching app is used to navigate very close to a cache, but the cache is not logged as a find. Therefore, your cache may have several DNFs that are not documented, or that are not apparent by looking at the cache page.

I'm going to disable your cache to remove it from the list of active caches. As the cache owner of a disabled geocache, there are three options available for you:

  1. Visit your cache, verify any issues with it, then fix and enable your cache within the next 30 days. so that it can move out of this state of limbo.

  2. After visiting your cache, if you are not able to fix it in the next 30 days, then please create a new log note on your cache page letting the reviewer know you are aware that your cache needs attention and how/when you plan to take care of it. The reviewer will monitor and reply to these notes.

  3. You can archive your cache, remove your container, and clean up the area as needed.

Please note that Geocaching HQ has put greater emphasis on "refreshing the gameboard," which means that the volunteer Reviewers will be more actively following up to make sure caches are maintained or archiving them as needed to free up space for new caches to replace any old ones that were not being properly maintained.

If you take none of the actions listed above as the cache owner, this geocache will be archived by a volunteer reviewer.

Please note that geocaches that are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance are not eligible to be unarchived.

Geocache Description:

This is a quick park and grab near the historic marker for the town.  You will need a tool of the trade to retrieve the cache.  While you are at the cache location, be sure to find the answers for the nearby multi cache. 

The historic town of Greenwood was established by a trapper and guide, John Greenwood, who had come to the area years prior to the gold rush.  The mining town that boomed during the gold rush had numerous stores, hotels, saloons, and various venues for entertainment. This place was originally called Long Valley, then Green Valley, then Lewisville (Louisville), and finally Greenwood. The Louisville post office operated from 1851 to 1852, when it was moved and renamed to Greenwood. Lewisville and Louisville were names in honor of Lewis B. Meyer, father of the first child born there.  Today Greenwood has a post office, a hardware store, a couple mechanic shops, and a bunch of history.

I have a goal for 2014 of hiding caches on days when the month and date match.  I hid one cache on 1/1, two caches on 2/2, and three caches on 3/3.  This is one of my eleven November hides.  Its getting late in the year and I have kept my goal so far but it is definitely getting more difficult, especially with my crazy work schedule.  Let me just say, it’s more fun to create a cache page than a homework assignment or exam.
