There is a GREAT story associated with this cache!
Firstly, its adopted from Cobbydale who created some great caches and particularly nice puzzle caches.
When I adopted the listing (with a number of others), I immediately set off to visit the site. You know those days when the GPSr is off by a fair amount? You realize it perhaps when you don't find the cache, or when it should to bring you to a park bench, and you end up in the middle of a grassy field. Except I found a cache at the place the GPSr dropped me - it was a 30 second find. I grabbed it, performed some loving maintenance and placed it back a few days later. End of story right? Not so much.
I should have checked the location on Google...I found the cache south of the trail and the location is clearly north of the trail - south 10m from the GZ...so I didn't find the cache in the right spot at all. And of course I put it back where I found it...
sharonandlester went caching shortly after the cache was enabled and found 2 caches in the area! They were excited at having perhaps scored an FTF on an unpublished cache. After some emails back and forth, a phone call and viewing of the cache gallery, I sadly determined that the cache was thought lost at one point in time and replaced by Cobbydale - when in fact the cache likely just migrated and was assumed lost.
I suited up one cold rainy night and covered the 20m around the coordinates hoping to recover the second cache found by sharonandlester. Amazingly I found a total of five (5!) cache containers, all with some form of log for 24/9, all dry, ready to find and patiently waiting for the next victim.
Once I got home muddy and wet, I snapped a photo of my haul.
Even Cobbydale doesn't recognize the beetle...yet it had a log in it and some tradeables. He recognized the other three, and of course the Green L'n'L is mine. Ghost in the machine?
I **HOPE** I have them all now...if you can note in your log if you found the L'n'L or some other random cache - that would be great!
Sorry sharonandlester, no FTF - they are all 24/9. I do very much appreciate the time you took helping to describe what you found and where you found it.
The cache should be good now! Play on!
