pinch3: Well, the cache may still be there, but someone has set up camp at the cache site-- looking pretty settled in with a couple of tents, so I couldn't check. Interesting that this woods has become a habitat for humanity after all!
I have a feeling this cache is going to be inaccessible for some time, so I guess it's time to put it to rest. I'll return in the early winter, if possible, to see if there's a container that needs to be taken out.
