Strassburg to Strasbourg Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

3pollyc: Our third stop on our road home after two days of caching in Southern Saskatchewan. We decided to check on our own caches. This one was once muggled because the tree it was in was pruned. We replaced the cache and when we arrived today we weren't sure if it would be there still. But J came back to the truck with cache in hand -- someone knew it was there because it was now hanging from a nail!
We placed this cache in January 2010 and it was found 11 times that year. In December of 2012 it was DNFed and suspected gone. We replaced it early 2012 and it was found four times that year. Finally in 2013 it was found twice for a grand total of 17 finds in four plus years, time to retire it! Again the camo held up really well, so we may have to relocate it at another time.
Thanks to all who solved the puzzle and found the cache and learned a bit of history about the lovely community of Strasbourg!
