chaosmanor: I spent about 20 minutes here, looking, which was about 15 minutes more than I really needed. Most of the vegetation is gone. The original hint object is actually still there, but the new device (sprinkler control, I think) has caused a lot of work to be done in that little corner. There is a slight chance that the tube eluded me, but if so, it isn't near where we hid it. So, time to shut this down. It had a better run than it really deserved, so we aren't complaining. Thanks to everyone who came to look for it!
