Waiting for the Quinsam Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

chico_valdez: Oddly, the last finder visited the cache a few times and never found the container. We dropped by to check on it and it was clearly visible in its hiding spot. We removed the container because the Quinsam is being redeployed (to Saltspring Island I think) because Gabriola is getting a new twin set of ferries for its route in April.

Time to say goodbye to this one. It's been a very successful multi over the years.

Thanks for visiting everyone!
