Houston, we have a problem Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

SharkAndMermaid: This is one of the many caches that was destroyed by the fire that swept through Bastrop Sate Park on 9/11/11. I received notification from Texas Parks & Wildlife that no caching in the park will be allowed in the foreseeable future, due to the continuing danger of falling trees and undiscovered "hot spots".

RIP "Houston, we have a problem" -- you were a good cache and one of our first.
