These are the Wisconsin caches that are currently disabled. I have made no attempt to contact the owners other than creating a list for all to peruse. If you find one in your neighborhood that you might be able to fix, go ahead and contact the owner. Right now, I don’t plan on anything more than providing a consolidated list. ~tb
GREAT NEWS
this will be something to look forward to. ~tb
Jackie,
I would be happy to lend a hand.
~tbGosh,
I just stopped for a coffee exchange,
I didn’t think I was gone that long.
~tbUpdate..
It’s been a couple of weeks since I suggested the archiving of 18 caches. I thought I would do a follow-up check. Today only three of those 18 remain on my watch list. The others have either been repaired or archived. There are now 172 disabled caches in the state. This is still too many, but some progress is being made. keep up the good work my fellow cachers. ~ tbquote:

The site looks interesting, but not very friendly to dial-up connections. ~tb
Another likely cause is that the winds are changing the cloud cover and thus changing satellite signal strength at your GPS receiver. We sometimes see this effect with commercial radio and TV signals. The wind itself does not affect radio signals, but the stuff the wind moves can. ~tb
This might be doable for us.. I am not sure what your energy level is, you wouldn’t want us holding you back. Where have you cached and where do you want to cache? T&tb don’t do islands or mountains (well we did one mountain in West Virginia, but not any more).
Jeff’s original question: What’s being done?
Actually, we have made an occasional attempt to get volunteer’s to go out and recover a cache here and there. The effort is a bit obscure since it has been done largely on the BOD pages and by e-mail. The Lion’s share of our problem caches heave been traditional (Single caches) that have gone missing, ergo: no geotrash. We still have a problem with micro multi’s with forgotten waypoints. I don’t know that there is an easy solution to this. When we know where these micro waypoints are, we do make the effort. We all need to do our part when we see caches going derelict. It is part of the CITO effort as well. ~tb
Actually, the link was changed many months ago when Brillig and Groundspeak had their falling out. The link will currently take you to the groundspeak map and it is current. if you click on the “identify” button it will tell you what’s what. It doesn’t give the GCxxxx but will give a link to the cache page under the map.
http://www.geocaching.com/map/WI.aspit sure does look like the brillig map.

These numbers have changed by a factor of 10 over the past 4 years.
We have a lot of work to do!Trudy & I have been doing a lot of Columbus caching for the past several months. To give ourselves a fair chance, we only download Traditional caches. As long as we clear the GPS before we load the new list, we will do alright. during our last couple of Columbus caching adventures, we averaged over 90%…
Clues? We don’t need no stinkin’ clues! ~tb

Sometimes I think my hands have a mind of their own. They certainly have mor difficulty wit spelling than my brain dos. May-B that’s what our Schitzpreenic friends are experiencing. ~tb
