I call this my Great Caching Debacle because I hid this container nearly a month ago, marking the waypoint in my GPSr. Then, while hunting $80 Million Later..., the batteries in my GPSr died, and I spent so much time unsuccessfully hunting that cache that my GPSr lost its memory. I finally got back to the site to retake the coordinates yesterday. The container was still there; so it appears to be a safe hiding place for now.

The cache is now a magnetic keyholder hidden about fifteen feet from the original location (and puzzle solution). There is no pen or pencil in the cache; so remember to bring one. There is now another cache nearby; so be careful not to give away the location of this one in your logs.
