    It was a 4d/1t. I'm not sure what the cache was. It is something that I 
have had over a year. I'll just have to search for others. It might be hard to 
fill the box in multiples. I quick PQ search shows there is only 1 cache within 
1 hour of my home location. Of course it has to be a puzzle, but I see several 
names in the logs of fellow SLAGA members. That means I know who to ask should 
I need help.

    Yep, somebody changed the ratings for that cache and it went off your 
chart. Some of the challenge placers will still let you count it if you have a 
record of it before it was changed. What was the D/T rating? And the cache? 
Keep an eye out for another one with that rating and go for it. It doesn't 
happen often, but a couple of mine have been tweaked after I heard back from 
finders or seekers.

      When I was reviewing my stats tonight I noticed a previously filled 
square on my terrain/difficulty chart is now blank! How did that happen? I can 
only imagine that a cache was updated with new information. But I would think 
if I had a previous find for that cache that it would not change my stats. It's 
frustrating! Has this happened to anyone else?
