Big Ben's All Spruced Up Cache!! Multi-Cache
Mollydoggers: It saddens us to archive this 16 year old cache but the reality is that Spruce Meadows is no longer the wide open to the public facility that it was under Ron Southern's tenure.Perhaps I may be able to revive it whenever an equestrian event is taking place. Time will tell.
