Yeah, Ken, I think you're right. The more I thought about it the more I think
wait and see is the way to go for now. I just wanted to see if anybody else
had heard a buzz like this.
I'll probably head out to the lake soon and I'll see if my cache is still
there. To be honest, Lakeside 370 is a tough place to hide caches anyway, what
with the lack of trees and protected wetlands everywhere. It if turns out that
this park becomes off-limits it's not a big deal.
Still a great place to go for everything else: kayaking, running, walking,
fishing, birdwatching-yay! Happy Easter everybody!
