Gifts Of Christmas Past: The 1980's Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

lpyankeefan: Freeing up some real estate in and around the Hagerstown, MD area so that I can place some new caches for the "Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's 40!" Event by Friends of lpyankeefan (GC1VYW6)

I may not be able to hold an event for myself, but I CAN place some caches for others to find! [:P]

Note To Dr. MD I will post an "Owner Maintenance" log when the cache has been retreived. I am archiving this cache so that it doesn't continue to show up in new pocket querys. If you have any questions, please do feel free to contact me via my profile.

Thanks!
