Wow! I saw where the final was taking me and I was sure this was going to be a dnf. Decided to at least try and I was so happy when I spotted the container. Both stages are in good shape. Tftc!

So glad to finally find this one. It has been a multi season challenge. Got stage one pretty easily & headed to stage two. I had read it was tough & we tried the best we could with heavy muggle traffic with no luck. Returned some time later & the old bridge had been replaced so I knew there was a pretty good chance it was gone but we made a cursory look between muggles anyway. I contacted the CO with a photo of the new bridge and he said he would check on it. I’m sure life got in the way and I never saw anymore activity until the logs where recent finders said they replaced it. Off I went and another lengthy search ensued with again no success so I contacted lostindenver for direction & he replied post haste with a pretty definitive hint. Somewhere I would have never looked. It is there but it is pretty tough.

Today I went to an event and met up with @2lablovers and @WindAtMyBack . Afterward we decided to grab a few caches nearby. While grabbing one of your puzzles, we saw this was near and decided to give it a shot. No problem at the first stage. I love the placement. Then off to the second and final. We arrived and discovered recent construction. But that doesn't mean the cache is missing, so we looked around for a while. No luck. So we called a previous finder to confirmed that the cache had been at the construction site. Luckily, the construction was complete. With permission, we replaced the cache. Cache on! TFTC!

After we found the nearby puzzle by the same CO we moved on to this multi , accompanied by @LostinDenver and @WindAtMyBack. Found the first stage easily enough but no sign of the final. GZ appeared to be new. Quick call to the CO and left a replacement cache with his permission. Thanks T5M - hope you are doing well in Ohio.

Been taking a break from caching but went out this morning and found a few----it is fun again when you find them. Thanks for all your fun hides.

Went searching with "animjason" on a warm and sunny (and dry) day - this was the last of fourteen geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

This was a fun multi with Bhob. Glad for a quick find on wp2. Thanks for placing so many multis.

Thanks the5millers! Logged The Gauntlet from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Hit the first waypoint when this first published, but had no luck at the final. Stopped by several times when I was in the neighborhood and decided to try it one more time. What?! There it was, right where I had looked before! Signed log. Thanks for an interesting one! Have to say that I met a lot of nice people and dogs while searching for this one!

Well, that was a first! Or almost a first. I rarely walk right up to not just one but two stages of a multi from the5millers. It’s usually more like search and search. Ask myself what in the world did he do. Search some more. Set a time. Ignore the timer when it goes off. Wonder if I can PAF. Or just harass the CO. Okay, I do find a lot of his without hints. But sometimes I am just totally lost. Today was not one of those days though!

I got another multi of his earlier in the day which put me at 49. And with this being less than a mile from my house (yeah, I know I could’ve been FTF. Not hounding after those right now) I had to make it number 50.

It truly is thanks to this CO that I’ve gotten so many multis. 10% of my multi finds are his and I know he has gotten others to hide more too.

It took just a couple quick minutes to spot the first waypoint and then I literally walked right up to the final. Which was really fortunate since muggle activity on a Saturday afternoon is quite high. I really wasn’t sure how much looking I could conceivably do. Thankfully I had to do next to nothing!

This gets a favorite because it’s another well done multi, gets me to a milestone and finally gets me a Bronze level badge on BadgeGen.

Thanks for the hide the5millers. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.
