Met up with some friends for a stroll around the beautiful streets. This was the first adventure for them and I was pleased with the amazing quality of the container and the hide. This is what a great cache is like (well camoflauged and positioned) and although I doubt the affliction has got them they thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Swapped a bear for a trinket and continued our adventure. TFTC.
