This cache has been archived.

Tom.dog: Retiring this challenge after a good run. This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce my total active caches down to a manageable fleet of quality hides that will be easier to maintain. For those who have signed the log and left a note, but who have not yet logged a find or are still working towards their qualifications: please feel free to submit a “found it” log once you are ready.
