TrekkerDuo: We went to the cache to put in a dry log sheet. To our dismay, parts of the tree had been cut down, and the logs were strewn on the ground. It was very difficult to get to a place where we could retrieve the critter cache, given that one also has to go a few steps down the bank. The logs in the way were too heavy to move.
We took the cache away. We will check back in about two weeks and see whether more has been cut down, or if the logs have been moved away. If we can rehide the cache in the original spot, or in another spot at the tree, we will do so.
