The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Omaha is a lovely little place. Kayaknkiwi was able to put her hands on this cache and then it was off for some yummy ice cream for Kayaknkiwi, Indiana Jill and myself. Stayed at the holiday park across the bay. Sorry for the delay in posting . . . found some un-logged caches in my personal logging notebook and thought I had better post before it's too late!

KnK saw it as we approached. Got ice cream. Yum!

Out and about up north for the day to catch up on some new caches. Parked close by and after a sweep of the area quickly spotted something out of place. Visited the nearby cafe for coffee and morning tea and we both agreed it was the best coffee we have had in a very long time Big Grin. Thanks for bringing us here to discover Omaha's best kept secret T4TC.
