I have been here several times. Hubby solved the puzzle and came up close. Looked in the obvious places without any luck. Finally asked CO and he went to check and alas the area had been altered and the cache was indeed gone. The new container is very cool. Thank you

It was brought to my attention by a fellow cacher that cache could be missing. With an early AM appointment in FC I swung by to check on the cache and it was indeed missing. Cache is replaced and is good to go for future seekers!

Finally able to make the grab on this elusive container. The log was wet so I replaced it with a new log and baggie to keep it dry. Thanks tinytuttle for the challenge. SL
