Stuck in the Merge - Highway 5 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The DAK Girls: The growth of the Merge itself has caught up to this cache. Access to the final location (althogh still possible) is now beyond what was originally intended. Too much "bush-whacking" required.

As a momento we will leave the "Highway Assistance" cache up and change it to a single traditional cache with a log to sign. As of today - all other caches in the "Stuck in the Merge" series are now shut down.
