- Thanks for all the replies and all the advice. I hadn't thought about who would maintain the cache after it was placed. I've got lots of friends and family in the area, but finding someone who will actually care enough to keep the cache up to snuff may be a problem. So that idea of the long distance cache is gone. I already knew that TB's were mission specific so I will carefully check each one before moving it somewhere it may not want to go.

It is maintained by a professor friend of mine. If the property owner, which you said was a friend, is willing to take care of the cache, then I see no problem getting it approved. I just email my friend when the log gets wet, and in Florida that happens quite often, and he replaces the container or log. As for the TBs, I agree with Bernie and Tim, make sure you know where they need to go.. Mike Bernie wrote: >- > > Chris, you should be pretty well confused by now.
