    Default Sorry 'bout that??

    You're right...it doesn't work. Something has changed that doesn't allow logging a cache after archival.

    Default Hmmm, thats funny

    We found a micro at the Plymouth Pond Cache (GCGM6F) after it had been archived and I logged it fine from the archived web page. As far as I know the micro is still there but the cache is no longer listed. I counted it as a find just the same.
    What if the Hokey Pokey is what its all about?

    Hey Haffy,

    That must be a new feature at GC because I logged osola park after it had been archived and I think Brdad logged Resident rock star after it was archived

    You should have sorted out the archived ones before loading them into you PDA. That is what I do.

    Actually, Resident Rock Star was just temporarily disabled, not Archived.

    I'm guessing if they blocked archived caches from being logged, it's because some of the number hounds were looking up archived caches whose owners were AWOL and logging them as finds. Lame, eh?

    Too bad really, finding and logging a cache after it's been archived, especially if no one has found it for a while is cool.

    It seems that some archived caches are locked and others aren't. I tried to post a long on another archived cache and didn't have any trouble. The cache I tried to log is: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...8-cd55c94deed3

    That would be my archived cache that got tested. I got the ususal email with this message: .... I just now checked the page, there is no evidence of a recent log. I am curious to see if 'Slate' had another cache added to his number of finds. If so, I think I will become a arm-chair cacher and pump the number of finds up so it looks like I am a very busy cacher. (look out Brdad and EGSG!) LOL.

    Sheesh! Maybe I can even do the "Nashville log" and log it more than once!
