Tantor: I had to archive this one for two reasons. First, the cache itself is irrevocably lost. (Just replace it right?...no.)
Second, someone defaced a tree in a county park by carving an arrow into its trunk indicating where the cache was located.
Whoever did this was worng to do so. First, such defacement of public property is wrongful. Second, it denied the opportunity for a challenge to others.
I'm very dissapointed that a fellow geocacher would do this.
