Just so you know the facts, "Mingus Mtn"  was Patrick and Wendy's (Lake
Havasu) cache, and I went to find out what happened to it after Team Wyle E
(Larry) couldnt find it after two attempts and over an hour of searching. (I
had found it 6 days before, and was the last logged find.)  I did this as a
courtesy to Patrick and Wendy, who live quite far away, and to Larry to
settle his mind about his searching abilities (he was quite relieved). I
really couldn't care less what your stats say on your website, I was just
trying to be accurate as to what actually occured.
