Beastly Children Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

tele420: Its candle burned at both ends, it could not last the summer...

In fact, it made it only midway. The beasts have become dilapidated. Whether through weather or the depredations of the local denizens, these mute creatures point no flippers, no wings, no claw'd toes.

This little tour's time with us is over and it continues its journey now with the great archivist in the sky.

Thanks to all those who walked the canal with us these three years.

Part Three - Claim the Beas.. cache
