Easy find - maybe, muggles - only 4 legged ones. It would be appreciated if you would be willing to take a picture of you/your clan near the cache location, and add it to your log.
The container has been replaced and has tradeables. big enough for lots of TBs and geocoins but i forgot to add a pen!
Replace exactly as you found and handle covering with care as it is fragile.
