tBLT - The Itchy Brain Simulation Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Juicepig: Thanks everyone for the fun, This series utilized the sewage retention ponds "four square" configuration, but in the end - they were on an active roadside with little room to pull over. The idea was for people to walk, but most did not. Not the best plan on my part - It had a great run!
