OPOR Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Case_ZA: The cache location is subject to being burnt when the long grass on the highveld burns every winter. The location therefore is not suitable for a container and it is with regret that I am going to archive this one.

The container is a rectangular lock ‘n lock container painted in a woodlands camouflage pattern. The original contents were:

Some Poker chips

The cache is close to a footpath used by muggles as a short cut. Please use caution when retrieving the cache. Please be particularly aware of the muggles coming through the trees on the path. I would not suggest doing this cache at night.
