Dan Q found GC6QTTM #5 RUTA PELS VOLTANTS DEL MAS DE SALORT

This checkin to GC6QTTM #5 RUTA PELS VOLTANTS DEL MAS DE SALORT reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

It’s increasingly looking like this series might be in need of some love and attention. With numbers 3 and 4 completely absent and a nearly two year gap since 5 was last logged – coupled with my bad luck so far this morning – I wasn’t optimistic of a find here.

I enjoyed the walk, though. This long-abandoned, now feral, olive grove is tranquil and calm. And when I got to the GZ, I was delighted to see the “top” of a cache container, exactly matching one seen elsewhere in the logs, protruding from under a rock. Hurrah!

A bottle top style lid, with Dan's name written in it, sits alongside some plastic shards on top of a rock.

Unfortunately, that’s almost all that’s left of the container. I collected it up onto its host rock, along with several shards of what were once its body: a sort-of memorial to itself. Then I wrote the date and my name on the inside of the lid, declared this the closest possible thing to a “find”, under the circumstances, and left my little shrine alone. Will it ever be found again? I don’t know.
