Sigh. Well, it had a good run. In memoriam, here is a pic, the cache description, and the logs for LSL Combat. Oh, yeah, don't forget to play Boys II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" while reading the post. Enjoy!
Cache Description:
My Dearest Mother,
I write this quick missive in the hope that it finds you well. As you know, it is brother against brother and casualties are heavy on both sides. Such is war.
Your repeated pleas to “walk away” from this stark, barren battlefield have not fallen upon deaf ears, I assure you. I wish circumstances were different and I could simply sit and join you for a home cooked meal – I can smell your world famous sweet potatoes as I write this - but we are soldiers and we have a job to do.
I implore you to have patience. This war cannot last forever and I will be with you and Father as soon as I am able.
Your Devoted Son,
Lt. Beauregard Snowurchin
P.S. Bobby is cheating again! Make him stop!

After reading the last comment, the seven year old and I visited GZ to see what was up. We are sad to report that the Geocache has been stolen... Well, maybe not stolen, but it's not there anymore. So it goes. :). Archiving this cache. Thanks for all the favorites, everyone!

Found this container laying on the ground not inside a wooden box. Was hoping to see what was prize worthy. Tried to hide it a little better.

Wow really cool! What a cold day for caching with the wind whipping at 20 some miles an hour, I dared the cold to claim Lone Star Park. Found the caches as promised. Thanks for the fun.

We are doing a major run through Lone Star Lakes Park doing maintenance on not only our caches but all others that we can find (or until we get too tired to continue). There were also several caches in the area that we have not found - might as well do them also while we are here!!!
Once we find the cache we will:
a) Dry the cache out
b) Empty all trash or old and moldy stuff out of the cache
c) Examine the log for dryness and writability
d) Replace logs as needed
e) Repalce baggies as needed
Very quick find here. BUT... the cache was as expected. snowurchin always puts out great caches! So, we not only awarded this cache a favorite point BUT... named this cache as the WINNER.... of the "COVETED" SNAP!!! Cache of the Day Award!!! Congrats!
SNAP!!! actually stands for "Suffolk Nana And Papa". We are a husband and wife team of cachers who really love both cemetery and historical caches. HEY!!! - if you are ever in the Suffolk, VA area - - - stop by and say hello - - - we are located at the last cache in the SNAP!!!-land geo-graffiti
Thanks snowurchinfor the cache and the smile which made this a great day of caching!!!

What a pleasant surprise to see this container after cresting the small hill. Well done and quite creative! No experience with that game. SL. TFTC. Took the TB.

In town to attend a funeral, so a morning of geocaching in a park is a good way to reflect on life. Quick find. Thanks for placing this cache. Log was signed and returned as found.
This has to be the most unusual cache I have ever found. Funny write up, funny cache, and an uplifting moment. I really needed this type of cache this morning. Thanks a bunch. Instant favorite. Left TB Atlantic Slave Trade.

Another very creative snow urchin cache. Puzzled for a few moments as to where the cache was hidden until I read the hint. TFTC

Another easy to find masterpiece by Snowurchin! Be aware that water is pooling inside. SL for #5,927 and left a pink and white Mickie Frog. TFTC.

Found for 4550. Another awesome container. The workmanship is outstanding. This is another one that would make a great milestone cache. It was a "midway" milestone for me.
I took a photo of it, for myself. And I sent a copy to bramatic. :) I can understand how she forgot. You get caught up in admiring the work. (And now that I'm at LSL, I think I'll grab a photo of Critical Cache, since I forgot when I found that one)
Thanks, snowurchin, for a very fun find. Favorite point.

snowurchin is gaining a much-deserved reputation for the outstanding containers he's put out! Just look at this one, for instance. So far, it's at 100% favorite rating! This (like the other 3 he's created) is a most creative container, and well worth the search. It's one of those containers that when you see it you know right away that you've found the cache. I meant to take a picture of it with my phone (NOT to post on my log, but just to keep for myself) but I found myself so excited about the find and marveling at the workmanship involved that I completely forgot to take the picture! Fantastic container! If I could give it more than 1 favorite I surely would!! :)
