Found GC97WP6 5 BH
This checkin to GC97WP6 5 BH reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I can see why the previous log moved this cache; pleased to see you be a good hiding place on the other side. Also pleased this wasn't another nano! Light's grown enough now to add a smiley selfie …
