Delta De Anza Geosnake - 40 Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

RedHiker: Hi, Eragon23

I see that your cache has not been found for a year or more with multiple DNF logs during that time. I'm going to disable it to remove it from the list of active caches. Please stop by and check on your geocache and see if it is still there. If it is, then please leave a note for geocachers and re-enable it. This will let people know they can look for it again.

If you can't verify your cache is still in place, then it might be time to archive it.

As the cache owner of a disabled geocache, there are three options available for you:

  1. Vist your cache, verify any issues with it then fix and enable your cache within the next 31 days. so that it can move out of this state of limbo.

  2. After visiting your cache, if you are not able to fix it in the next 31 days, then please create a new log note on your cache page letting the reviewer know you are aware that your cache needs attention and how/when you plan to take care of it. The reviewer will monitor and reply to these notes.

  3. You can archive your cache, remove your container, and clean up the area as needed.

Please note that Geocaching HQ has put greater emphasis on "refreshing the gameboard" which means that the volunteer Reviewers will be more actively following up to make sure caches are maintained or archiving them as needed to free up space for new caches to replace any old ones that were not being properly maintained.

If none of the actions listed above are taken by you as the cache owner, this geocache will be archived by a volunteer reviewer.

Please note that geocaches that are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, are not eligible to be unarchived.

Geocache Description:


HOORAY! THE 40TH CACHE IN THE SERIES!!!

As I became more serious about geocaching, I noticed that many pro hiders often hide a series of geocaches. Often times, these series are in a straight line, along the same road, trail, or path, all in an effort to provide easy, quality, and a dense number of finds for other geocachers. When I first saw one of these on the map, I instantly wanted to find them, and later, hide such a series myself!

The minimum hiding distance between 2 geocaches is 0.1 miles. When a string of these is hidden along a map, they look like a snake - a geosnake! That is the inspiration for this series. I hope to hide a geosnake along the length of the Delta De Anza Regional Trail! This is the 40th installation in that series, which will expand as I hide more along the trail. Most of them are micros, but around every 5th hide, there will be a larger container filled with swag and goodies! This container is a magnetic key holder. Enjoy!

If you wish to see a brief history of Juan Bautista De Anza, his expedition, and the trail that bears his name, please visit the profile page for the first geocache in the series, Delta De Anza Geosnake - 1: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8YP00

Also, be sure to check out the nearby geosnake series titled "Nothing Better to Do". Hidden by maximg109, that geosnake is a great place to geocache if you like my hides.
