Should be an easy hide, intended to bring you to this unusual location. The cache is not hidden under anything.
On February 16,1955 the pilot of a small Sessna who had flown over Bakers Lake in Barrington reported to authorities that he had seen a large, round and unusual design in the woods just east of the lake. He reported seeing what we would now call a "crop circle". The story goes that the "authorities" were the Barrington police dept. The B.P.D. contacted the Army Air Corp. The Army did extensive research all of which was very hush-hush and is still to this day considered Top Secret.
What makes this crop circle so unusual is that after all these years the grass under the circle has never grown back and the basic design can still be seen at ground level and with Google earth which offers up a perfect image of the circle.
While visiting the location I noticed my digital watch was running backwards and I found some very light weight and empty metal canisters at GZ which may or may not have been left by the Army researchers, (you know, they "cannot confirm nor deny................")
If you should find any unusual activity while at the site please make note of it in your log.
The cache container can be found 17 ft straight south of dead center of the circle.
I was going to use a magnetic key holder here but I soon found out it would not stick to anything here. WEIRD!!!!
