Del Massey Park Cache Traditional Cache
we"re lost: Well we hate to do this but i think we are gonna move this cache completely out of this park. There are too many kids at the park that tear things up and spray paint the pavillion and pull trees up that the city just planted and tear basketball goals up.
So i am sure that a kid saw someone looking for the cache and went and found it and took it. It is sad that kids have no respect for things anymore. They have nothing better to do then tear things up and take things.
The city told me that they have a real problem with that park with kids hanging around bored and spray painting stuff.
with a long talk to the city about this we decided to do another cache at another park in the city.
