I'm hoping that I was just having a bad day and this cache hasn't walked away, especially with an errant CO in the mix. Saw a great place to hide something, but it was empty. Nice hike anyway.

Now this is caching! A geocache hidden where the finder sees something worth seeing. A favorite for sure.

Great Thanksgiving Day find! Not a mosquito in sight either!!! I made this much harder than it needed to be, but we had a great time. Practiced CITO.
