Peel Away the Layers Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team MEMILA: The hiding location for this cache tended to get iced in last winter from the overhang. So, I decided to archive it. Picked up the container this afternoon. Thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. It will get you to within about a mile of the cache, but please don't attempt to find the cache there. You'll just get frustrated and nobody wants that.


Some things in life that seem complex at first are really quite simple when you peel away the layers. To find this cache you will need to solve this puzzle by peeling away the layers.
