EclectEcon Challenge Test Site #1 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ara 'K": Checked on it today. Unfortunately it appears to have been muggled unless placed where I can't find it. It has failed the challenge and will be archived. Thanks to all that took the time to search and find it.

Geocache Description:

camo peanut butter container in a very high muggle area!

A question was posed by a geo-caching friend asking "What’s the biggest completely urban cache you have seen that lasted longer than a year?" The answer for many is not much larger than a 35m film container. The challenge lies in resolving this question "How large of a container can be placed in an urbanized area (highly travelled by muggles) and how long can it be placed without being muggled?" This cache is the first test site to challenge this question and see if such a cache can sustain the dreaded muggle attack. The difficulty rating is not because it is difficult to find. It should be fairly easy. The rating lies in retrieving this using great stealth and allowing this cache to remain muggle free. Please join in on the challenge either by retrieving it without being seen or create a cache that you think can win this challenge. Have fun! Happy caching! It would be great if you could post with your find what time of day you located it at.
