Parzival: Well it's been a long road for this geocache. When I placed this I was married and we lived pretty close to the tobacco trail and I used to walk my dog along here most days. Now i'm divorced, that dog has been gone for a few years now too, and I no longer even live in North Carolina. I'd say it had a good run, but like a lot of things in life, it's time to let it go and move on. Thank you to everyone who took the time to find this.
