ScouterDuck: Amusing in some ways frustrating in others. Today was supposed to be a routine post-snow maintenance check of this cache, but what I found was that the county has had a contractor in to harvest some timber in the immediate area. No problem in and of itself, but the cache seems to have been run over by a logging vehicle of some sort. I was lucky to have found anything at all. A small corner of plastic was sticking out, and I had to dig the destroyed remains out of several inches of mud. The container is in several pieces, but much of the swag has survived. The ziploc with the log was ripped and the log soaked and soiled, but I was able to salvage the written logs to date. Amazingly, the travel bug also survived with only a broken chain for his dog tag- I'll replace that and move him on- he is a very lucky bug!
I have another container and will try to replace this in a month or so, but it will have to be in an entirely new location.
I took photos of the remains of the cache and will post in a few days.
