sandlanders: It has now been many years since County J was reconstructed, and even the most outdated maps and autorouters probably don't have the "old" County J route shown anymore. In fact, most locals don't even ask anymore, "Who put a road here?" But we have kept this cache in play, and Mr. Sandlanders has enjoyed checking on this hide about twice a week in all but the coldest months when he rides his bicycle right by GZ, where he often stops to take water breaks. However, he has other hides of ours that he sometimes rides by, so he will keep reporting on those after this one is gone.
We thank those who visited this cache and who took the time to read the cache page and learn why we brought people to this location. We also thank those who let us know by one means or another when this cache needed attention by the COs, and we tried to be quick about maintenance visits because this cache often got found when people were hitting the mini-power trail farther east on County J. (They also often thought this was part of that series, even though this cache predates that.)
Caches that have low D/T ratings are rated that way because they have that difficulty and/or terrain level, not because they are of lower quality or are interchangeable with others of similar ratings. We take care with all of the caches we place, but sometimes the physical and/or emotional work to maintain them becomes too much for us, and it's time to let them go. After over eight years, it's time to let this one go.
