aka Momster: I spent some time searching the thicket for the Understudy container today, but could not find it. There was evidence that a different clean-up crew had given the entire block a thorough working over. Appearances are they plan to strip and relandscape along this section. The thicket will probably soon be gone and I seriously doubt a regular sized container will be able to survive in the new conditions for a while.
Three years to the day from when it was hidden, I think this study is finished. Thank you to all who searched and logged their information on this hide. Have fun geocaching!
