"Any copying, aggregation, display, distribution, performance or derivative use of craigslist or any content posted on craigslist whether done directly or through intermediaries (including but not limited to by means of spiders, robots, crawlers, scrapers, framing, iframes or RSS feeds) is prohibited"
I think this covers Google cache or any other method of gathering data. You're still in violation of their Terms of Use even if you find a clever means of getting around it.
