Ballfield Series #1 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jayhike: I'm permanantly archiving this one. It was my most creative cache to date, and my favorite cache owned so far. It was what geocaching should be! Thank you to those who found it and gave it favorite points! I enjoyed reading your comments on this one. A big thank you, also, to those of you who are responsible geocachers, who take efforts to put caches back in the way they were obviously designed to be, to be protected from muggle eyes. This one was very much "in the open", but if it were always responsibly put back, it would likely never have been stumbled upon by muggles. I think that two things were the downfall of this one... 1) inexperienced cachers who irresponsibly left it partially hanging open and visible to muggles, and 2) the fact that my 2 sons thought it was really cool and (probably innocently) told some of their buddies about it. Since that happened, I have had numerous episodes of vandalism on this one, and, although it is my favorite, I don't have time and energy to babysit it this much. You win, darn muggles!
