I stopped by one of my caches this morning, Up Front (we'll, I really stopped to find a new cache but since I was in the area I decided to checkup on this cache too.)
Based on some of the previous logs I decided I better check on the cache because it appears people are finding more than one cache.
I found my cache quickly (knowing where it was) and everything was just fine. But the real goal of the maintenance run was to find a possible second cache in the area. It took some time but I finally found it about 30-35 feet from my cache. Looks like three other cachers were also lucky enough to have found it in the last little while.
The cache was intact for the most part. Small chew holes on the lid let water leak in but the log book was dry in its baggy.
Interestingly, according to the log book cache was placed in Dec 2002. It was found 5 times before going dormant in Jan 2003. The finders were Kleiner, Jonsom, Eron?, EelSid, and lastly, lsildvr's Bane on Jan 11, 2003.
The cache has been hidden well since then - at least well enough not to be found by anyone.
I searched GC.COM to try and find the old cache and came up with this...
The old cache was called "Cuddle Up" by Centris.
I know the coords were at the dome but Cuddle Up is a puzzle cache and looking through the logs and the pictures the puzzle definitely led them to this cache location (there's a picture of the old cache in a log by Centris - and that's what I found, today).
I removed the old cache and contacted Centris so she could also benefit from a little bit of nostalgia.
