Checked on cache today. Everything in good shape, except the holder of the cache container. It won't last much longer. After 2 days of heavy rain, it was very squishy around cache site and the no-se-ums liked the humid weather. It all adds to the challenge of caching. Don't look for the osprey nest--it's gone.

Found this one this time. Tried this one over a year ago and didn't get it. No mosquitos but those nasty little no see-ums that I call "black dots with teeth" were out in force! TNLN, TFTC!!

Found readily. No sign of the coin or bug marked here. Never looked for the bird nest - too busy swatting at mosquitoes!
Took some trash but there is loads more. Looks like it needs a troop of scouts on Earth Day to come here....
Found with Cache_me_when_you_can and You_cant_cache_me.
