This cache was originally a good old altoids tin but is now one of those nifty film canisters. It is not far from a convenient parking area. Bring your own fountain pen. There is a tree nearby in which there is a large nest. Please don't disturb the nest while inspecting the tree. If you see what lives in the nest, please log your sighting.
