Base Two Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nemo Consequentia: After debating with myself for awhile I've decided it's time to archive this one.
Its gone missing again, and I don't feel like hanging another bison out there. I have no idea how long it's been missing since the last log of any kind was over a year ago.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
