Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it. If you need to contact me, please do so by emailing me through the contact link on my geocaching.com profile page or through my website www.wizardofooze.com

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

Below is a letter my daughter wrote at school a few years ago.  It was so cute, that I thought it would make a perfect puzzle for this series.

My Trip to the Pet Store

N49 16.703 W122 44.758

Yesterday, I went to the local pet shop with all my classmates.  It was lots of fun.  We saw lots of puppies, kittens, bunny rabbits and birds.  I think we also saw some hamsters.  I can't remember for sure.  Then we went to the back of the store.  I saw big aquariums with fish, turtles and even a baby shark! There were also snakes and spiders, but I stayed away from those. I don't like them very much.  My favourite part? That's easy. It was when we got to feed and play with the puppies!
The end.
