General Lafayette and Jug Bridge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

deepdish23: Checked on the cache yesterday and it was indeed missing. This one has been replaced several times and I have been slowly downsizing caches I own, so I am going to archive this one. This will open up a nice little park for someone else to place a cache if they want. Thanks to all who found this one.
