Sagefox: Last time I archived a cache after two consecutive no-finds someone who didn't know it was archived came along and found it. In this case though I believe that the container is, in fact, gone. I have placed many remote caches in cool locations like this but have recently been tightening my cache maintenance circle to much closer to home.
In any event I should yield the ground to local cachers. This is in keeping with the trends and growth of geocaching. In the early years we needed traveling and vacationing cachers to place caches as prolifically as possible. Now it seems that each urban area has several times the active cachers they had during the first three years.
This marsh area is a great place to encourage people to visit. The City of Fort Bragg has been studying the concept of this marsh to see if it might be an appropriate to develop something similar on the former G-P mill site along the city ocean front. We are hoping that can happen.
If adventurous cachers want to continue to search for this container (a nice ammo can) and should happen to find it they can log it as a find even though it is archived in return for removing it from the site. If it is still there feel free to use the container and submit it as a new cache in the same location or any other.
Thanks to all who visited the buffleheads, pelicans, mergansers and all their feathered friends and thanks to Uncle Alaska for placing the original Arcata to Anchorage cache that got us into the marsh for the first time.
