Many were sad to see our own Maryland Project A.P.E. cache
disappear
Mission 7: Crab Creek (Project APE).
Numerous owners kept the cache alive, great heroics were performed
during a recent flood period to keep the cache safe, but after all
that effort; the cache still disappeared in October 2006. It logged
over 700 successful visits and who knows how many unsuccessful ones
and repeat visits in its 5 years. Many folks coveted the APE
icon.
Well, the period of mourning is up. A new cache could never
completely replace the old one, and certainly it won’t gain you an
APE icon or add to your total in that category, but it has been
said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
So, your new Mission, shall we call it "Mission 7b" is to
Return to Project A.P.E. cache. The new cache is of the same
legendary proportions, similarly lettered and stenciled. It sits in
nearly the same spot and covered with a big pile of sticks. It is
freshly stocked with APE wares and currently contains an empty
PROJECT APE logbook.
This cache will never get the attention of the other, but
hopefully it will have a nice long run. FTF prize is a golden
dollar. Enjoy.
Congrats to mukil for FTF!! Their first!!
Note PARK HOURS: SUNRISE - SUNSET, for now the alternate parking
is HIGHLY recommended.
