GCXWY5 Finderne Wetlands (Unknown Cache) in New Jersey, United States created by avgraphics

This cache has been archived.

avgraphics: [|)] This cache just had its 10-year anniversary. There were even a group of people who gave the cache a try on its 10-year birthday (Oct 4th). They successfully negotiated all the stages and made their way to the correct final stage location - but they will be the last ones to do so. After 10 years, 12 favorite points awarded and 42 successful finds, the time has come to free up this neat location for new cache placements. I have made the cache's final stage location visible in the listing of waypoints for anyone who may have been curious of where it had been located. Thank you to everyone who came in search of my cache! [|)]
