Littlehawk and I have been dreaming this one up for a while.  You will need an eagle eye to spot this one.  No tools are required for this cache.  Please do not use any tools retrieving the cache.  It will ruin the experience for everyone.  This is a spin on an oldie but a goodie.  There could be high muggle activity so pick your time.  Enjoy the hunt, hopefully nothing hatches on you!

I swung over here at the end of the day on a hope and a whim that I could find this on my first try. I saw that several others found this difficulty, so my hopes weren't that high. But I bought a flashlight and a good brimmed hat to keep the rain out of my eyes.
I searched for a bit and then got the right idea. It wasn't that simple, but I don't want to give any spoilers. Found without a hint. Well done!
Thanks for the cache!

So thrilled to find this evil cache without any outside help ! Took two trips, both very hot days. You outdid yourself on this one - wish we could give you more than one favorite point.

Seems to be a pattern of circling around each GZ today and this was no exception, with tons of potential hiding spots! Would love to say that I found the container immediately, but it took some serious effort! Very clever hide that earns a fav! Signed log and left to go get a cold drink. Thanks for a challenging one!

Wow I thought for sure I had little to no hope of finding this one especially when I saw who had dnf’d this one, so much so that I didn’t even bring a pen! (I had to go back to my car to sign the log & it’s been a long time since I’ve had to do that. Actually I couldn’t figure out what exactly I would be looking at & when I saw the tunnels I thought for sure it was going to be a clever hide in one of those. At least I thought I would be shaded from the 92 degree sun beating down. But as I got closer I realized where I’d actually be looking. No respite from the sun here, but at least no one else was around either. The possibilities here are endless & I tried a few different ideas until randomly & just stumbled upon a possibility & tada! There it was! Very tricky, thanks for the challenge. Fortunately I found it fast enough that I didn’t melt.

I had a lot of fun here, even though it is 1000 degrees out. The tunnels were fun too, and I don't have to duck.

OUT14ND3R saved us all with a quick smiley. Gets a fave!

DNF redeemed. Messaged OUT14ND3R when I was almost done with my appt. He was game for meeting up here. I showed him something suspicious that I looked at the day before, and of course, he found it right away!

Thanks for the fun CO-[FTF] with family, and friends. Sissadies even had a muggle friend visiting. Gets a fave for location, and hide.

CO{FTF} @ 12:31 with Bearadair, Animjason and Sissadies. Coordinates right on. Animjason told me to look at something he already looked over. I then knew it must be there then Really cool park and great hide.
Thanks lifed49 for Wisewarrior’s thirsty birdhouse
