Stopped by this morning to check on the health of this cache. Found it to be a bit waterlogged and exposed but still where it should be. The write-in-the-rain logbook was fine so I emptied the water out, resealed and rehid a little better. I also liberated the very nice, very fancy personal geocoin that the last finder, Rey del Roble left. I would hate for the coin to get lost should the cache be muggled. I will hold onto the coin personally and then make arrangements to pass it to the next finder of this cache. I'm not sure anyone is even working on either of my Seattle challenge caches, nonetheless I'll keep the coin secure (and unactivated).

Talk about just getting in under the gun ... by finishing yesterday, you were absolved of doing this [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1XK2X]new one.[/url]
I apologize that I did not write the required note at the start of this challenge. Between both traditionals and non-traditionals I had 73 caches left to find when this was published. And about a dozen have been added since then.
As of 28 July 2009, I have completed all active non-traditionals, except two which need to be archived. Frecky's final is now gone, and WP1 from Happiness is also gone. I have asked the reviewers to archive them or at least place them off-line. They can belt out the new caches, but attention to Needs Archived seems to be in Braille for them. C'est la vie.
Anyway, using the magic of GSAK filters, over the years since I have been caching (Mar 2004) I have logged 612 non-traditional caches in the Seattle area filter. Until I ran that filter, I would never have guessed that the number was so high. Whew!
Thanks for getting my butt off the dime and getting into Seattle to black it out, Fishie.
