This cache is well hidden and should last at it's current location. Please use stealth as the area may be seen by lots of muggles, it just depends on when you are there. You will need a specialized tool. If you have not read the 3rd clue, be prepared with normal tools you would carry to go caching. Replace the container gently until you hear the click. You will know it when you hear it. If you find the cache in need of attention please let me know.
