Bridal Bouquet Multi-Cache
GeoDonkeys: It seems that after nearly 2 1/2 years, this cache has moved on. We went to check out the location, and it seems the garden recently underwent some major maintenance. The hedge underneath which the cache was hidden was cut back quite a bit, and the cache seems to have dissappeared along with it.
Thanks to everyone who hunted this over the years; we had a lot of fun with it.
