Posted a note for GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge
This checkin to GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Dropped by while out for a walk and discovered that "Gina + Kylie", a pair of presumably non-geocachers, found the cache on Tue 8 June and left a note in the logbook! This is cool, not just because …
