Blownads Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

dasein: Well, this cache is gone! In its place were two "40-ouncers." [V] When we placed the cache in this 2nd location, there were lush green ferns everywhere, and the cache was very well concealed by them. I guess time has changed things, as the area looks quite different now. We're sad to see it go for a 2nd time, and bummed to archive it, but feel it's time. It's had a gloriously long run and I'm sure had brightened many a cacher's life. Thank you, Makaio, for placing the original, and allowing us to take care of it for so long!
