I have it on good authority (from the person who removed it) that this cache was indeed removed. (and they didn't do it in July either!) It's too bad that caching was banned in the preserve, but I think things may turn around someday. After all, Carla (the wicked witch of the north) can't live forever, and there are forces who would like to see caching allowed there on a limited basis.
