Otis Pug 301 - The Art of Otis Pug - Preserved Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Klemmer: Well, it's gone. The CO (Klemmer) and two other experienced cachers that have found it previously, could not find it on 5/28. i can't imagine how someone hauled off a GIANT man-made rock (very realistic!), that must have weighed at least 50 pounds. Very odd. Time for a graceful retirement, after over 12 years of service to geo-kind.

This cache absolutely amazed and blew away many cachers in 2002, Klemmer included! Now in 2005, perhaps we have become jaded by some more recent [and some great!] caches. This is a classic.

This cache is STILL a classic and seems to amaze some (maybe newer) cachers.
