From a Jack to a King Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

We are placing this cache in memory of my parents. The cache name comes from a song by Ned Miller.
I remember this song being one of my Dad's favorites, and him singing it to my Mom. By chance ... He went by Jack and our name stands for king.
You will find the cache at N 45 00.ABC/W 089 37.DEF
