Plan on spending a few minutes searching for this one. Not a park and grab, but shouldn't take too long depending on your knowledge of Wonderland and your eyesight.
The coordinates above take you to a spot between two mimosa trees. I have it on good authority that Alice, from Wonderland, had a brief encounter here with a certain creature that she met while she was in Wonderland. After a brief conversation, the creature began to slowly fade away, until only a certain feature remained. Remarked Alice: "I have seen a ___ without a ___, but I have never seen a ___ without a ___!" Stand at the coords and look around. You might see all that remains of the creature, and, if you do, you will know where to look for the cache. If you don't know what to look for, or can't spot it (after all, it IS fading away), just use good old geocaching technique and comb the area for likely spots.
You can do this one at night, but it almost certainly will become a search and rescue mission. I doubt the fading feature will be of much help in the dark.
Remember, you may not want to tackle this one if you are in a big hurry. It might take 60 seconds, or it might take much longer. If it proves to be difficult, don't say you weren't warned. It is not "impossible" or even "hard", but it may involve a good bit of looking, especially if you miss the clue. Hope this one turns into a smiley for you!
Owner's Note: The "fading" feature has been redone and should provide some guidance to the observant cacher, at least until it too begins to fade!
