9,725 Hours Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dot Plotter: It looks as if this cache has been gone for some time - the last logs are dated in August of this year. As stated in the cache submission requirements / guidelines available at http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx

[I]As the cache owner, you are also responsible for physically checking your cache periodically, and especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time – normally a few weeks – in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive or transfer the listing.[/I]

While geocaching.com would like to continue to hold the location for you, doing so blocks other cachers from placing caches in the area. We feel that this cache has been disabled for a period of time exceeding what is reasonable for the area, and thus I regretfully must archive it.

If you are able to get out and replace the cache, simply drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. I will be more than happy to take a look at it to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

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.

Thank you for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

NOTE NOTE NOTE: Some recent cachers have advised that there is now a 'NO-TRESPASSING' sign near the pull-off for this cache. As such, I'm going to ask that you not attempt this cache in the time being while we attempt to relocated to a nearby location. Thanks.

A simple cache located close to a roadway. See if you can solve the riddle of what's inside before you get there. You can pull off the road at 38 59.992N and 77 26.908W. It's a short walk from there. The Fall season may make this a bit easier to find. Note to finders: Please encrypt any 'giveaways' in your logs regarding the location or contents of this cache. Thanks!

Your quest is a search for time, that rarest of commodities in our modern age. Who would have predicted that these circular objects available seemingly everywhere we turn could capture time in this glittering form. The promise of the new economy, and the promise of this cache in these waxen and pacific whereabouts is simple. Give us something for free.

This cache is hidden across from several great monstrous edifices, formerly airplane hangers, where self-proclaimed titans of the new economy try to build a window into the virtual market. You'll need to get off the road a few yards. There is a convenient pull-off only a few yards from the cache. When found, please be sure to securely wedge the ammo box back in it's hiding place.

Good luck!
