What does it mean when a geocache has a line through it?

Answer 1

When a geocache has a line through it like this: geocache, this means that the cache has been archived or temporarily disabled by the cache owner (CO) or a community reviewer. When a cache has been archived or disabled, it should not be looked for.

Archiving and disabling can happen for a number of reasons, such as:

• the cache needed maintenance and the CO is no longer active.
• the cache was found not to conform to geocaching community guidelines
• the CO would like to change the cache or place a different cache in the same location
• there is something happening at ground zero that restricts access to the cache
