Monarch's Winter Home Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Kosh Naranek: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the immediate future, just contact one of your local reviewers and assuming it meets the current guidelines, it can be unarchived.

Your answer should keep you in the park--less than 500 feet from where you started.

VERY IMPORTANT--DO NOT TRAMPLE THE PLANTS!! THIS CACHE IS IN DANGER OF BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS! THE CACHE IS NOT IN THE BUSHES.
