Geocache Description:

Please note that this cache is a MICRO. It is not a letterbox. If you find a letterbox, keep searching until you find the real geocache container.

A mystery cache that requires no puzzle-solving skills, but perhaps you may be able to help solve the mystery. Mystery Solved! See below. Take note of the terrain rating. No need to climb on a 1 1/2 star terrain.

While searching for a nice spot to hide a cache, I stumbled upon this cache container in this location. A soaking wet log inside indicated it was an "Official Geocache Site," with the usual wording and www.geocaching.com listed as the place to go for more information, but no name for the cache or the hider. The log had only been signed twice, in 2005. The first signers used their real names. The second signers are out-of-town geocachers who admitted to finding the cache by accident as I did.

Despite searching gc.com extensively and getting help from other geocachers, I have been unable to determine what this cache is or who hid it. If you know or just have a guess, please include it in your on-line log. I'll be happy to turn this cache over to its proper owner, if found. Or I'll include any valid information on the cache page.

So go find this cache and let's try to solve this mystery. Even if we don't solve it, this is a great spot for a cache and you'll get another smiley for your time!

UPDATE (1/13/06): The original cache was hidden by Cooksters and named Rusty Crossing. It was not approved when hidden because at the time there was another cache too close by (Chandler Branch URP by Semper Questio) that has since been archived. Thanks to Prime Approver for solving the mystery and to Cooksters for agreeing to leave this cache placed here! Congrats to Semper Questio and GeoMire for co-FTF!
