Vancouver Rocks!!! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: As there has been no response to the reviewer note I placed on the cache page on February 15, and the cache puzzle appears to be unsolveable with the information available on the cache page, the cache is no longer in compliance with the geocaching guidelines for puzzle/mystery style caches: http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx
