Chilling in Chelem Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

FOOFY: The owners of this business have put the place up for sale and the geocache is no longer in its location. Thank you to everyone who frequented this cache prior to closing.
Once COVID pandemic has passed, I am hoping to place more geocaches in the area and encourage other local cachers to do the same.
Please stay safe everyone.
