    I just added several listings to the cache rescue list for “Verify Present” reports. I am doing this for caches where someone strongly suspects a cache is missing, but there are insufficient DNFs to draw that conclusion directly, and the cache owner is not responsive. Please understand that the idea here is for someone who has previously found these caches to revisit and make sure they are still in place (or not). It is NOT to remove the cache. Note that these are all still active caches, so removing the container will cause additional problems. When you file these reports, please indicate that you had previously found the cache, so that it is not necessary for me to go back and check.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    FANTASTIC! Finally someone is using another aspect of the Cache Rescue Missions for another purpose besides removing or verifying a removed cache. Now, hopefully, others will follow suite when they either know or suspect that a cache is in trouble and just can’t get to it.

    So, can anyone post a mission on a suspected missing cache or just the cache owner and DeeJay? Just curious.

    Are you planning to submit a verify present on “SSSS”???

    Anyone can, but you should contact the owner first. The purpose of this rescue type is to handle situations with absentee owners or when an owner is unable to check himself for some reason. Normally these should be posted by the owner. If you are too shy to email the owner, just post a needs maintenance log and I will see it.

    No need, they’ve been verified.
