I've been watching this and I'm pretty sure there were no other caches between Ohio and NC!
The previous cacher just forgot to log it 😉
Grab It (Not from a Cache) 3/31/2011 wepaddle2011 grabbed it   Visit Log

Very happy to report this grab as it has been 'lost' since Christmas last year. It has somehow traveled from Ohio to the Outer Banks in NC, and I sure would love to hear where it's been in between these two caches. This was mom's first day of caching with me and look what she found! It was also fun to learn a little about the butterflies themselves. Will move this up north as soon as possible :D
