This cache has been archived.

The A-Team: I stopped by to check on this and couldn't find it anywhere. I've decided to gradually archive this series, so I'm archiving this one. Since this is part of a series, I've added the number from this cache to the B11: Invasive Species Final description so cachers can still find the final.
