I solved the puzzle and made my way to GZ a few months ago, found the empty container. I didn't have any paper on me and it didn't have a lid. Not sure if it's still there. Still a very nice puzzle! TFTC!

I’m pretty sure I found the container but it was empty and not very near the solved coordinates. I’m going to mark this a find and contact the CO. TFTC

Apparently I am not allowed to come look for this one. I was in the area with herndonrd and we decided to stop since he hadn't found it before. Just like the last time I was in the area, the container was nowhere to be found. I promise I will never come look for it again.
