Is Checkerbutt still around? Or is it an alias for another cacher? One of his/her caches, Lonesome Bush is a favorite of mine and may be missing. I'd hate to see the cache abandoned and archived. If it's acceptable cache ettiquette to maintain a cache that has been abandoned by its owner, then maybe I'll just establish "squatter's rights" on it and replace it the way it was done with Cowles Mountain Cache.
