Well, the main reason why I picked it up...why I didn't mention this before, stupid me...is that I have found every cache in the area and I knew it wasn't one I had found so it must be an archived cache. ________________________________ From: Mike Henthorn <mikeinmo1@xxxxxxxxx> To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, October 5, 2010 5:54:03 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Found an archived cache...did I do the right thing? If the owner archived it in 2004 he should have picked it up. Not knowing that it was archived or not when you found it, you might have been picking up a cache that has just been very difficult to find (not likely). I would say, given the last log was 7 years ago, you did the right thing by picking the cache up and contacting the owner. mikeinmo On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 5:28 PM, Michael Rogers <mrogers07@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hey all... > > >I have a question.
