As we caught up with those who were faster, we could see the issue at hand here. Luckily, Mr. Greenthumb apparently owns a secret winter caching weapon similar to Trekkin's and was already on the job. After a bit of persuasion, a choral "hurray" went up from the assembled group. Some of the younger members of the group explored the tower. We've been up there and opted to stay close to the earth. At this point, a few in our group moved on to other things, but the rest of us were ready to continue on to the remaining caches on the other side of the road. SL TNLN TFTC
