Yesterday morning we were traveling thru Bloomsburg PA and stopped to ask for directions to see a Covered Bridge we had been told about. While George was getting the info I was fishing for wireless internet to check our credit card account. I was able to finish my business and then joined George. I thanked the lady helping George for the unsecured internet access and commented that I would probably get a query for local caches since she was giving us information on a large number of bridges. Then she commented that there was a cache on their grounds. As we left, we searched and quickly found the cache and were shocked to discover 7 travel bugs and coins in it. The log showed that there had only been one successful find since early this year. Something is wrong here! I would hate to think that one of my travel bugs was sitting in a cache that was not being found. Actually that is the case on a couple of them and I am upset over it. So we took them all, since they had obviously been there for months. I left a geocoin that I had recently picked up in Mystic, CT as trade, hoping that it will be picked up and not abandoned.
After leaving Bloomsburg I processed the pocket queries that I downloaded and discovered that the cache was a puzzle cache that required 50 steps to arrive at the coordinates. No wonder there have been few people find it. I would not even have tried after realizing the cache requirements unless I was a local trying to finish all the caches in Bloomsburg or just had a lot of time. Now I feel absolutely no shame at all about trading 1 for 7 and I am worried about the coin that I left behind. - Zeke of Hot Springs, Arkansas
