My group's composition was very impromptu—someone's boyfriend and their high school friend happened to be over and when I suggested we go geocaching after breakfast they heartily agreed.

With much cajoling I extracted trinkets from the group to leave at the geocache. I told them they must be cultural artifacts. We have here: Gram's cool-guy shades (he's a local icon), Cole's political pin (he works in D.C.), Carla's unicorn ring (she is a collector of tchotchkes), and a band pin from me (from a local band).

The cache was on the cliff above a pond known as Hirschman's Pond, marked here with a red X

We discovered that the cache had been destroyed and scattered about. By an animal? A bitter human? We do not know.

# data[].attributes.body
I suspended myself from a nearby oak and picked up the scattered trinkets and remnants of the destroyed cache.

The name of this cache was Peace on Earth but unfortunately someone or thing had ravaged it. Sometime between now and the last rain storm it become filled with water.
Say hello to the new Peace on Earth geocache!

We ran to get a spare tupperware and re-place the cache full of our trinkets and the ones we were able to salvage from the ground.
