Barking Up The Wrong Tree Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ferretlady: Due to health issues, I have not been able to go to the park & maintain the cache for some time. I tried for quite a while to get someone to adopt the cache, but had no luck. The last person to find the cache was kind enough to remove the container per my request, so it HAS been removed from the park. So very very sad to end this, but my health gives me no choice

Geocache Description:

November 28 2020

IMPORTANT -- This cache has been removed. This listing will be permanently archived in another day or two. Before doing so, I wanted to thank everyone who's participated & say 'good-bye' (See description below)

Update November 28 2020

IMPORTANT -- This cache has been removed & is no longer available. I will archive this listing within the next day or two. Before I go, I wanted to say a big "THANK YOU!!!" to everyone who found my cache over the past 5 years, and who made this a fun adventure for me!

To those finders over the last couple years, I deeply apologize that the cache was not maintained as it should have been. At first, I was checking on it very often, making sure it was clean & dry, and trying to keep some nice swag in it. Store-bought trinkets & little hand-made toys that I made myself - I had several wonderful personal messages from folks who loved the little handmade stuffed animals & toys I put in the cache! I enjoyed having this cache SO much!

When health issues hit, I kept hoping & hoping that I'd get better & be able to continue. Obviously, that didn't happen - and I sadly DID let far too much time go by, leaving the cache unmaintained. I know that it got to be in poor shape over time & I am truly sorry that happened! I just kept hoping against hope that I'd be able to get back out there.... I am so sad to see it end.

I tried for quite some time to find someone to adopt it. Eventually I did have some folks contact me who were going to adopt it, but then they dropped out of touch & I have no idea what ever happened. So - it's a sad decision, but it's time to just archive this cache, since I can NOT take care of it properly & no one else wanted to take it over.

A big thank-you to Chelsea for removing the cache for me. I did not want to leave "unattended stuff" laying around in the park, so thank you very much!

Again, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU for the fun times, I loved geocaching when I was able to get out & hunt for caches, and I really loved having my own cache, when I was able to take care of it properly. THANK YOU, each & every one of you, for sharing this wonderful adventure with me! Have a great holiday season & happy geo-caching to all of you!!! - Nickie "Ferretlady"
