Max Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. So that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will unarchive your cache.

After we posted a note to you cache requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and sending us a note. We have no record of a response, and no response tells us that you are not planning on replacing, or repairing this cache if we are wrong with that assumption please let me know.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Geocache Description:

In a great park. Trails, fishing, wildlife. Easy to get to. No bushwacking required. Great family cache!

Shelby Farms, now a 4500 acre recreation area, used to be a penal farm. The farm actually produced almost all the food for the prisoners, with the exception of sugar and tea. This farm had a prize herd of cattle (you can see a related cache at A Little Concrete), crops and orchards. Remnants of the orchards are still around (hint).
This cache requires very no bushwhacking and will make for a great afternoon out with the kids. There are numerous trails that will get you, including one that is paved almost all the way to it. For the shortest route, you might park at the Amphitheater. Take the kids, the dog, mother in-law? out for a nice walk in the woods.

Original cache contained:

Flashlight
Peabody Hotel corkscrew
Cylume light sticks
Pair of gloves
Compass
Light stick bracleets

Enjoy
