Organizers planned to dig up the cylinder in 2000, but they couldn't find it after a major landscaping project altered the layout of the area. With help from National Geographic and Diggers, the time capsule finally was located last September and brought to the surface.
I was intending to write, as I now see so many others have done, that 30 years is not nearly long enough, and then I read this. 1983 - 2000?! I have got cupboards that see less disturbance in 17 years. And then it took the National Geographic 14 years to find it. What a farce.
