I saved the day!!!! ๐ Well, I saved Blackbeard's Buddy, that's for sure!! ๐
I found Blackbeard's Buddy NOT inside a cache container, but buried under debris, on the ground, in a dirty old zip lock baggie. ๐ฎ When I found it, I couldn't even tell what it was until I got back to my car and opened the dirty, yucky zip lock baggie.
When I retrieved it from the baggie, it was SLIMY!!!! ๐ I cleaned it up, replaced its baggie aaand... brought it back to Pennsylvania with me, where I will place it in a cache, deserving of its placement! ๐๐
