Silenai Traditional Geocache
Leptoceratops: Hello!
I'm archiving your cache as it has been disabled for more than a one month and it is lost, completely damaged or inappropriate. Caches should be visited and maintained within 30 days after disabling.
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.
If there are still leftovers from container I would appreciate if other players could collect them so that there is no trash in the nature.
Happy geocaching!
