Trappistbrew: And now it's a "Mere" memory. Thanks Pyewacket for placing this unique cache. It had a good run. I'm looking forward to seeing where it's spirit shows up in the PNW.

PLEASE park where appropriate (this will become evident when you approach the location) and WALK to the cache. Please see my note dated March 28 for more information concerning this request.

This "diamond in the rough" locale is in an obviously neglected area, as will be evident when you see it (especially as of this edit - June, 30, 2006). It doesn't look like any improvements will be made soon, which is a shame. You're not looking for a park, or a marked trail, or a place to enjoy a lovely picnic lunch, though if the surroundings were different, this would be a nice place for any of those activities. Off-road parking is available, but please be discreet as there are homes nearby. I don't recommend this site as a night cache, because of both the terrain and the type of local residences (and residents). During the day, however, it's a nice little place to spend a few minutes imagining what a little TLC and pride in one's neighborhood could bring about. The cache site (and indeed, its entire surroundings) is a good CITO opportunity; I've stashed some small trash bags in the cache for use on exiting the site. If everyone would remove just one bag of trash, this area would remain as clean as it should be. Currently, a bout of poor health has prevented me from cleaning up my own cache areas, so any CITO you could help me with will be condiered a personal favor. :)

Please take care to replace the swag in the ammo can and replace it just as you found it so it remains well-hidden for the next cacher. Thanks...have fun!
