Cache is in a "zip" bag to help keep it dry. Please close well, and rehide well. There is plenty of nearby natural camo material to use, if additional is needed.
There is winter-related swag, but no writing instrument, so be sure to bring a pen or pencil.
There is an unactivated "Snowman" trackable for the First to Find.
Congratulations to Majeda on the First to Find! Quick work! OR! OOPS!! First to log to majeda, with The_Cache_Pack as FTF? I am confused! In any case, congratulations, and enjoy the little snowman trackable.
OK! Congrats to The_Cache_Pack on the FTF, and to majeda on FTL (First to Log.)
