    On Friday while caching in S. Maine I did Boulder Dash GCNQKT in Alfred. Last night when logging in my cache, I noticed there was a log posted from the owner. It's a very moving story about the owner of this cache and the medical problems that he has been dealing with. Didn't know what should be done, so thought I would give all of you a heads up. Maybe someone with more experience in these matters will know what to do.

    Quite a story. It would be neat to do something, maybe someone will have an idea.

    This is the cache

    Post That was quite a sad tale

    That really was quite the sad story. I don't know what you would even say to a guy that has been through so much at such a young age. My heart goes out to him.
    Happy Trails!

    Vic we did this one 3/26/06 and the ice was so cool. We will try to help out in any way that we can. We will always remember this cache as being the most organized cache we have ever found. The ice was melting at the time when we went there but it still had a nice blue tint to it.

    I just emailed the owner to see if there was anything we could do to help with the cache.

    Thanks Vic for pointing this out.

    I logged that cache with kayakerinme a long time ago. I remember taking a small Kimoto dragon from the cache in a trade. He is still hanging around on the dashboard of the truck. Sometimes it's the place you visit, and sometimes it's the cool find. This time it's the story behind the cacher. I'll make it a point to stop and check on the cache when I visit the area.

    Why don't we all hook up this weekend and meet at a designated spot and go to this cache together and do a cito on this cache and pick up all trash on the way in and out and clean the area up for this guy and bring a new container in case one is needed. We can even invite the guy to come with us.

    What does everyone think about that idea. I can start coordinating this if we can get people interested.

    Rick if you read mine or Moxie Pups log entries you'll see that the cache is neatest cache we've ever done. The container is a ammo can and inside you find three plastic covered trays that fit inside like those in a tackle box, each one holes something different, log book and such in the top one, sig items and TB's in another, swag in another.etc. So other then the log being full the cache is in great shape. I would've gone and got a log book if I had known the situation at that time. Jamieofthenorth has said he'll replace the log book. The area around the cache was not trashy as I remember it. But it's an old granite quarry and the terrain is steep. rough and far from handicap accessable.

    Lets see what Moxie Pups and others in the area find out from contacting him what's needed. If we build a handicap trail to the cache we will certainly be giving away the cache location and this may not be what the owner wants. Maybe whats needed is for someone to stop by and help him go to the cache site once and a while so he can mantain it.

    I saw where you posted it was the neatest cache but I did not know you meant it in that manner. I thought you meant the word neatest as in the sense of coolest or best. I misunderstood. Well then all it sounds like it needs is a new logbook so I am sure someone can do that for hte owner.
