This cache has been archived.

A-C-E: Seeing there is a new Lost Scouts in the area pretending their us, we thought we would remove ALL of our caches so they can have ALL of our cache locations as well as our name.

YEP, WE THINK ITS FUNNY NOW.

Everything has been removed, container & ALL.

ALL postings on this cache will NOT be received by Lost Scouts. A.C.E. has adopted this cache, and all emails will be sent to them.
