Icy Creek Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

benandjayme: We were in the area today so we made time to stop here and check on the cache after the DNFs. We made our way down to GZ quickly, but we couldn't turn up the cache after a pretty good search.

We thought about replacing this one, but we decided we're going to let it go and open the area for others if they're interested. It's still a great place for a walk that's pretty much guaranteed to have solitude, but it has also become much more overgrown than when we adopted this hide. Additionally, we no longer live close to the area so we only have the chance to check on the cache infrequently.

Glad we were able to double the lifespan of this cache after adopting it. Thanks to all who paid a visit!
