Stockton State Park Sortor's Bluff Trail #2 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

dc2swhill: Going to let this spot go. I am trying to keep newer hides closer to the trails to lessen the impact on the local environment. This one being 100' off and missing it's original container is the best time for me to find a new location.
