You can ... o-la-(la!) Traditional Cache
3pollyc: Today we were in the area and decided to check on this cache! For some reason since we moved it from its original location there seems to be issues but whenever we checked on it before we encountered no issues. But today, the cache is completely gone! So we have decided that since the story behind the original cache is no longer applicable it is time to archive it. Thank you to all who found the cache in the past.
Because we no longer travel this way as often it is more simple to archive it than try to maintain it.
