GC1JGBG Willow Springs' Gateway (Traditional Cache) in Iowa, United States created by Iowa Runner

This cache has been archived.

Iowa Runner: This was our first Cache ever hidden. Twice it has disappeared. We've replaced it once. We believe what has been happening (each time around June) is that it has floated away. It is very near a little stream and sometimes the water comes out of its banks and very likely has caused our cache to come out of its hiding place. Instead of replacing, we will choose to Archive and find another location to place a NEW cache.

Thanks everyone who logged their visits to our cache for making our first HIDE so fun.

Cheers,
Iowa Runner
