Geocache Description:

The posted coords were the last place CSIS saw our friend; nothing of use is located there.



After the "From Moscow with Love" debacle, our hapless spy Vlad decided to make his way to a place he knew well: Odessa. After this bardak a nice Black Sea holiday was just the thing! But what was this? It seems Vlad made the same mistake, and ended up in the wrong place. With CSIS hot on his tail, all he could think of doing was to send off a quick message to headquarters and disappear. His tradecraft was good enough for CSIS to lose his trail, but he still managed to mess up and forget his message on the fax machine... FTF can have the 1000 Soviet Rubles Vlad dropped in his rush to leave

Vlad's ongoing saga has been made public with Trail Blaiser's kind permission

*** поздравление to snoozejade, AaronHaynes, and seal_hunters on a hard-earned FTF !!! ***

Note: This cache is probably not wheelchair accessible in winter
