TOMTEC: Ok, serves me right for retrieving the cache container in the dark... Looks like nature played it's own roll in Stumpy's demise as the remainder of the stump had finally decayed enough to fall over leaving one side remaining with the cache hanging in plain view! Now, that explains the muggling... Well, since there are no other suitable locations in the area (The other hollow beech tree I had in mind fell over last year... good thing I didn't use it!) I think I'll retire the old stump. This cache is now Archived!
Thanks to everyone who visited!
