alseaman: 690... posted the following log on 03/12/2016. "There was no sign of any cache at or near GZ. Replaced it for CO while on the way to Almonte. TFTC!".
This replacement was done without prior consultation with the CO, nor with his concurrence. We had some heavy dumps of snow this winter, and I suspect that the cache has been knocked off its perch and fallen to the ground as a result of the snow and snow plows. Since I have been seriously ill for some time, I admit to being a bit slow in doing a ground check.
As a result of that log, I visited the site today - there is still a bit of ice on the ground, and the cache may still be locked in this. However, since I am going to have to archive the cache shortly in any case, it seems best to do it now and get it over with.
The unofficial replacement cache has also been removed.
Cheers - alseaman
