Make a Royal Phoon of Yourself! Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Landsharkz: Now that our Challenge Cache is up and running, we're going to put this one to bed. We think we replaced the cache about 10 times over it's life. It's just too darned stormy for even a 50lb magnet to hold on! Thank you to everyone who made a Royal Phoon of themselves. Make sure and look for a Photo Challenge Cache at this exact spot with the exact same phooning challenge.
