IowaAdmin: I received this email about this cache from the park ranger:

Dear Administrator,
I recently went thru the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area and pulled the following caches. These caches did not receive permission to places caches. Please archive these caches.

All individuals had been emailed about two months ago in regards to seeking permission. I will be holding the caches until the end of July 2012 if any need to pick them up.

Thank you and please let me know when these are archived.

Wayne Buchholtz/Park Ranger

Note: I asked the ranger to post a "Needs archiving" note on each of the caches in question, but I don't see such log on them. But because this request comes from the IDNR manager, and because he has apparently removed the cache, I'm going to go ahead and archive this cache.

Geocache Description:

Go visit Herbie the Hermit

"Hi, my name is Herbie. I was a City dweller for a number of years and then grew tired of the rat race. I was a Geocacher for a long time and my love of the outdoors led me to shun society and move to my own little spot in the woods. Although I turned my back on society, I still enjoy the occasional visit, especially from other Geocachers. I'm always up for some swapping too. Bring your camera along and pose with me for some pictures and then post them here on the site. Hope to meet some of you soon...Herbie" Cache is an ammo can, FTF gets a FTF "wooden nickel". There's parking nearby and a clear, packed trail until the last leg, then it's pretty steep. For extra fun, do this cache the day after a heavy rain. The muddy, rocky slide back down the hill was exciting!
