Ohio State Parks: This cache was placed more than four years ago and it has had a great run. We have decided to archive the cache since it has become missing. Let me explain the reason for archiving the cache. Although our mission is to provide recreational opportunities, it is also to preserve and protect our natural resources. As cachers, you know that over time an area can become overused. Therefore, archiving and removing these caches will allow the disturbed area to revert back to its natural state. It also allows us to place new caches next year and introduce you to other areas in the park. We look forward to developing more challenging and entertaining hides for the Ohio State Parks in 2011 which will begin the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend 2010. We promise to get you wet, frustrate you and stump you, but most of all we hope to give you an outdoor recreational experience that exceeds your expectations as a park visitor to Ohio State Parks.
I also want to personally thank all the cachers who help put together both challenges for 2010. I look forward to working with you and any new volunteers on the upcoming 2011 challenges.
