Dropped TB to continue on its journey. No TB in container except the dog tags I just put in.

Dropping off a couple TB's. happy caching!


Found it
29/May/2014

Made the find quickly. Container had only a logbook when I retrieved it, so I signed the log and left a ballpoint pen and a Rehoboth Beach sticker. I would have stocked it a little better but I was driving my wife's truck instead of the regular geo-mobile so I didn't have my caching supplies with me. TFTC!

Might be better to post a Needs Maintenance, rather than a Note?
At least that might raise the problem with thre CO...

Or at least it would show in the attributes, where those planning to leave TB's might see there's a problem.
