Woah, that's weird. Well, at least the long-unsolved mystery has been answered. It feels kinda weird to be the FTF of the cache though ToungeOut.

Strange... I wonder who placed the mystery cache that everyone else is finding... and where everyone else is finding it. I'm almost tempted to go back and find the mystery cache too, just for the sake of it ToungeOut. But then... I'm guessing that either one or the other of the caches (I'm guessing the mystery 'decoy' cache) will end up being removed.

Or possibly, it could be incorporated into the cache as 'added searching fun' or something... I dunno. But hey... at least the mystery that's kinda been rattling around in my mind is finally coming to a close BigSmile.

Ok, I must admit... of ALL caches I've ever found... this one perplexed me by far the most.

Not for any normal reason, either. No, no... a normal reason would have made this a lot more understandable.

Lemme run through it here. So after the last cache, I zoom out on the map to see what's the next closest one. At which point... I see THIS particular cache. So the cache says it's called Rock Hill... all good... last four logs indicate they were all found (I have GSAK set up to show me what the status of the last 4 logs were)... that's all good... so I go bike over to it.

Now this is where I get really confused. I get to the cache location, and begin looking around. At which point... I find... arguably the most unexpected thing I'd ever think to find at this cache. See attached picture.

So yeah... the logbook was completely empty... and yonder FTF certificate was sitting on top of it. Additionally, there didn't appear to be any signature items by any other cachers. Peculiar, thinks I. However, given there's another cache with the identical name a few miles south of this one, I figured somehow GSAK made a mistake, and noone had found this one yet. Looking online... that appears to not be the case.

So I don't know if there's more than one cache container here... but I found one that said it was called "Rock Hill", which now contains a chainmail ball and log entry... and is absent one FTF certificate. I'm obviously not FTF... so as stated... I'm quite confused.

As for the location however, I was quite pleased with it... and took a pic of all the trees from the top of the highest part of the hill Smile.
