Our humble beginnings

With all the talk of the memorial plaque, I thought I'd post these for folks who might be interested. I finally found two pics I took of the first cache (Original Stash) and the infamous can of beans when I found it in it's state of disrepair in Sept 2000.

First of all, a very big "Thank-You!" to the generous cachers who have been sending in PayPal donations for the Plaque. We have until Friday, August 8th to make any changes on the proof that we submitted to the foundry. After that, we will be no longer be taking PayPal donations, as the Plaque will have to be paid for then. We have to submit it this week, so the foundry has time for photoetching and casting, and be able to finish it for placing at the end of this month. We would like to once again thank everyone who has helped out, by donating through PayPal or by pledging to help at the site.

Notice the difference in flora from when I found it (not long after the road crew visit) and when Moun10Bike visited last year...

It's hard to tell in my low quality pics, but the group of stumps (near Moun10Bike's knee) are in the lower left of the photo.

 

I resubmerged the can of beans (see the Cache History) back into the cache when I left and it was removed by DU when he pulled the bucket. I imagine they now reside in a landfill beneath tons of garbage or have been converted to natural gas by this time icon_smile.gif
