April 13th Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

sgauss: I got a message the other day from treefairyJKLMN letting me know that she though the host for this cache was gone. I was grabbing a couple caches this afternoon, and checked here, and it is gone - it took a little looking to spot where it used to be located! Sadly archiving this cache.
