Congratulations to MessSGT on being first to find all eight caches.
Magic Mirror on the wall who is the finest cacher of all?
The Magic Mirror tactfully replies:
Beyond the emerald hill, on a beautiful day in the fall.
The cacher called MessSGT answered Snow White's call.
MessSGT was the first to find with CTForester very close behind.
And so they are both fine cachers in this humble CO's mind.
