The Rat: The cache is probably still there, buried under the massive plant growth that has occurred due to the heavy rains this year. I tried unsuccessfully to find it. However, since I approached today on foot instead of biking as in the past, I noticed a sign I had overlooked indicating a bird habitat area and forbidding entry. It's far enough away that I am not certain it applies to where I hid the cache, but it probably does, so I am archiving this cache.
