Because this was the inspiration for our 'We Love Highway 14' caches, we've made it an honorary member of the series. We renamed it and updated the hint to make it a little easier, but it's still the same cache.

The cache is well hidden, but you DO NOT need to move anything to retrieve it! Please leave the hiding spot as is!
