Geocache Description:


When The Kid and I first started caching, we found a cool decoy cache called "Maybe, Maybe Not" (GC42RDG). It was pretty cool because it had a dozen of these pop bottle top cap caches hidden in a tree and you needed to find the correct one with the logbook in order to make the find... but you had to look through so many of their decoys to make the find. What was really cool about this cache is that the CO said you could take one of the decoys if you found the cache. The cache owner would then come out and replenish the decoys to keep the fun going. The Kid and I took one after we found it and have used that as a replacement cache for one of my Laugh-Inseries caches. 
I was thinking about the "Maybe, Maybe Not" cache a while ago and looked it up. I was saddened to see that it has been archived. The CO said that any cacher in the area could go out there and clean up the decoys. Which I did. I have quite a few of these things now (I couldn't find the final cache there with the log). What am I to do with all of these archived decoys?
How about placing some new caches and call this series "Recycled Caches"? I have found quite a few abandoned and archived caches over the years and have them just sitting around. I think it would be great to put them back out into the caching world and giving you the opportunity to find something new.... I mean old... new, old... repurposed?  You know what I mean... 
Once you find it, please put it back on the exact branch you found it on. GZ looks like it's a spot that people might stop at and rest when walking the trail. THANKS! 

 

UPDATE 10/04/2021:  Holy cow! The park crews really did a good job pruning everything at GZ! None of the little trees were spared. The tree the cache was on at GZ was completely cut down! :O I replaced the cache and put it at a different spot close to the same location. Check the hint if you need help. Please put it back right where you found it. 

 

UPDATE 3/11/2024: Cache has been moved a little bit.  

 

Congrats to DM&K Cachers for getting it in under 12 minutes after being published!
