B11: Invasive Species - Himalayan Blackberry Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The A-Team: A new house is being built right beside GZ and there's construction material all over the place right at GZ. Cachers shouldn't be going there now, and it looks like this won't be a good hiding spot once the residents move in, so I'm archiving this. Since this is part of a series, I've added the number from this cache to the B11: Invasive Species Final description so cachers can still find the final.
