jellis: Cache is gone and so am I. Will miss Washington and the friends I made. Will also miss not having to deal with so much poison oak, rattlers and ticks. Hope to see everyone at the GeoWoodstock next year.

Since moving here from the San Francisco Bay Area I was amazed of how clearly the stars can be seen. I use to watch the falling stars from home but here on a clear day I just sit back and watch the show. Last year TeamAlamo referred to me as a Rising Star because I was climbing fast on the Bay Area leader board. He put out a puzzle cache and had placed it in my front yard. After I sold my house he archived it, but allowing others to log it in if they find it before we removed it. The day before I made my final move TeamAlamo put out an event called the Shooting Star. I understood that many couldn't make it on such short notice and on a weekday. The ones who did, I was so glad to see off. Muggle Finder couldn't make it and she wrote a sweet goodbye note.
They gave me an ammo box and painted it white and signed it with their farewells.
