WA Caching 10th Birthday Bash - Albany 2011 Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

~Tango~: Time to say goodbye to this event. It was great to see so many teams take part. We hope there was something in the event for everybody, be it meeting other cachers, seeing other people's technology, getting hints on hides and puzzles, or getting out and seeing some new places and hides.

Thanks to all those who helped in any way.

Till we next meet somewhere - Happy caching
