[GeoStL] Re: True Friends.

-
I sorta know this guy. I picked up a TB that was presumed lost. The 
owners just posted a log and moved it to a graveyard, and I was 
wondering what to do. Jay (lemur) was watching the TB log and wrote me a 
nice note offering to help me out if I had any problems. Seemed like a 
really nice guy.

I just wonder if the area was restricted before the cache was placed.
