April Fools Cache #2: Lock & Lock Box Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

medoug: This cache has been muggled and stolen. Anyone who had visited it in the last few years can imagine the amount of force required to take it as it had been secured to the existing rock structures in the area to keep it from disappearing. Because of the amount of work to reproduce another secure container, and the fact that the muggle/vandals would likely return to do it again, I will not be replacing it and am now archiving this cache. Unfortunately there are sick people out there who get their kicks out of ruining the fun that others enjoy.

:( medoug.

You may need to think "outside the box" on this tricky cache. Expect to spend a little more time on this cache as designated by the assigned difficulty rating.

The cache is a regular sized container with nice starting swag, a logbook, and a pencil. Please follow all instructions, trade fairly, sign the log, and return the cache to its original state of concealment so this will be a fun find for future cachers as well.
