Stones of Spring Vale Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Car54: We intended to check this cache tomorrow, but today’s “finder” confirmed it was missing. We are retiring and moving from the area, so will be archiving our few remaining caches by spring. We will pick up the replacement container tomorrow.

This cache was our favorite. Thanks to all who visited and awarded favorite points. Our apologies to the cacher who intended to make it a milestone yesterday, but discovered it was missing.
