seldon: With much sadness I archive this cache. The final stage was indeed gone - the glow-in-the-dark skeleton that was in it was left hanging at the very spot the cache had been. The cache was not destroyed on the spot, nor could I find any parts of it in the vicinity, so it was taken in total by someone. Hard to understand, since the sticks device inside was useless without having done the preceding stages, and the few dollars the rest of it were worth would hardly seem worth lugging out of the park. I thought that this far back in the park would be safe for large stages, but apparently not. I always understand the possibility of caches getting muggled, but this one saddens me more than usual - I felt really good about the experience it offered to cachers. The cache makes no sense without the final stage, and remaking it is not going to happen, so I picked stages up this morning.
On a side note, it was interesting to see how sections of the trail have changed in a major way in the last year, and will continue to due so, due to nature being nature.
No trackables were listed in the cache, so that is a good thing.
For you who are watching this cache, please spread the word that it is gone to other cachers you know who might have had it on their list to do this fall.
