Howdy folks,

       I guess the cats out of the bag now on who's been placing the Yellow 
Jeep Anxiety Pills.  A few months ago someone in the LISTSERV stated the need 
to take a pill for yellow jeep anxiety, so we came up with the idea.
      Being contentious cachers, we spent a great deal of time and effort 
finding an appropriate item to use. As we agree that food items should not be 
placed in caches due to pest infestation, melting, and generally 
contaminating a cache, it seemed the best item to use as the 'pills' were 
lemonheads, which is indeed candy. We were going to discard the candy to use 
yellow beads instead, but, we came across the containers we are using now.
   The container is a medical grade sterile specimen vial, that has a locking 
cap that is designed to seal not only dry but liquid specimens from any 
contaminates, viral and bacterial, but also locks as to be tamper proof. 
These containers are used by the state, with a faultless record as of yet. We 
did some testing by placing the filled containers in various locations and 
temps, to include next to an ant hill, as well as placing it in a microwave. 
During the testing there were no reactions by any pest,  no leaks or 
failures, presumably from the seal retarding any transmission of scent, ect.
       We are concerned about any cache contaminating as in Team Terra 
Buena's cache, so this letter is a fact finding mission to see if this was an 
isolated case (there are quite a few containers out there) or if all the rest 
of them should be pulled before any more damage is done. We do feel 
comfortable in stating there is no great risk in the YJ Pills contaminating 
your caches, but we will go with the consensus of the group in regard to 
placing them in caches in the future. We WILL be placing them in all of Team 
Springs caches in the future (there are 3 more in the works at this time).

Thanks for any help and opinions in this matter, 
Team Spring
