Cache is well-hidden, muggled or picked up.
Here is my update on this cache. I swung by Petit Jean (if one can call returning to Cabot from Batesville as "swinging by"!) on 07/03/06 to attempt recovery.
I assumed the wall referred to in the description was the stone wall that was actually used during the accuracy contest. If not, then I was way off base. I stood on the wall and pointed to the left. There was a fence line behind a cabin with three cedar trees. Taking into account that my arm might not have been as straight as Ed's I searched around all three trees. Since none of them had any holes around the ground or up to six feet above ground I looked around on the ground and for any place else the micro might have been around said cedar trees. No luck. :?
If the stone wall mentioned is the one closer to the lodge I did not attempt to search anywhere else since I could not see any fence line that would have fell in-line with the directions and the only fence close enough was the one by the lodge itself.
So, the cache is one of three things:
Well-hidden. Granted, I know the difference between a hickory nut and a pine cone. I saw nothing that looked like a hickory nut. Or, I was well off the mark and it is still there. I guess clarification of the directions is in order. Was I on the right fence?
Muggled. Either by a person or Mother Nature. If so, it is g-o-n-e.
Picked up. Someone found it and recovered it. If so, they have yet to post that they have the recovered cache in their possession.
I will only attempt another search if I am told that, one, I had the wrong location and, two, I happen to be "swinging by" again. :) STW
