Combahee GemCache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

HeadLlama: When I arrived at the cache site, I discovered that the mound of pine straw the cache was hidden in has biodegraded into dirt. After much poking and digging around I accidentally broke the walking staff I cut while hiking in the Colorado Rock back in 1987. Whaaa! I gave up the search soon after. If it's still there, maybe some archeologist will discover it some day.
