Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Geocache Description:

Strawberry cake

strawberries = 14

During the gathering at Bilob’s hobbit hole the dwarfs basically ransacked Bilbo’s pantry, ate and drunk everything. Later at night before falling asleep Bilbo tries to figure out who ate his favorite strawberry cake since he had decided not talk to him anymore. During the evening he had asked around and now needs to figure it out.

Balin said that Ori ate the cake and not Bombur. Ori said it wasn't Fili and it wasn’t Bombur who ate the cake. Fili said it was Bombur and not Balin. Gloin mention he saw Fili and Ori with the cake and thought both ate it. Lastly Gloin was accused by Bombur who assured that Balin would not eat strawberry cake because he is allergic to strawberries. This confused Bilbo very much and it looked to him as each of them must have told exactly one lie.
