24 - Hupp-Yeats Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Belle Isle Cachers: So it looks like the last 4 here did not find stage 1 but it was still in place today. Unfortunately the final was bobbing in the water as the final location is now under water and no way to rehide this one for next weeks event so it is time to go.
Thanks to all who have come in search of this cache.
