A regular sized cache, in the woods for you. If you can outsmart the monkey!
“I went to the Animal Fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The Big Baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing her auburn hair.
The Monkey he got skunk’d
And sat on the Elephant’s trunk
The Elephant sneezed and fell to his knees
But what became of the monk?”
I’ll tell you what became of the monk. He’s out here playing tricks with my cache, that’s where he is! I hid a nice cache for my geo-family, and then he went out and moved it on me. All in the spirit of fun, I’m sure, ‘cause he left me a note to help me find it again.
So what can you do? Well, I’ve included the note that this silly monkey left me, so you can go out and find where he hid the cache.

This cache is on private land, the land owner ASKED if I’d put another cache out here, so search away! Park at N 42* 12.889 W 085* 08.362 (the posted coordinates). You might be able/tempted to park closer, but please don’t. It’s less than a quarter mile back. There is a mowed lane that you can take back to the area of the cache, but no other real trails back in there. Probably some poison ivy, so watch out! There should be no hunters on the property, but a couple of the neighbors do allow them on their lands, so use appropriate caution. Oh yeah, and GPSr reception at the cache site? The monkey's had a hand in that too. GOOD LUCK!
