Follow the Rules, the short version Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Cache history, May 2007:
This was my first cache, and it had a good long run. Looking back, it was a bit of a stretch to start off with a multi stage puzzle with a full size ammo can in a very busy park. What was I thinking... still, it lasted over 3 years. The final has finally gone away (I think, who knows... ivy eats ammo cans), so I have reworked it to be a bit shorter with a micro at the finish. A nano actually... don't worry, it works in this position. That frees up the back end of the park for another hide, a challenging proposition for whoever wishes to try it- see if you can hide a full size cache for over 3 years!
