Parking near this cache will likely be the toughest part of the whole find.
It certainly would be best to avoid weekdays when classes are in session.
The very best time to find this cache would be certain Saturday evenings during the fall and winter.
But then you might have 50,000 screaming muggles watching you as you search for the cache.

The trek to the cache location requires a short, but relatively steep and loose, climb.
Please rehide VERY well. This spot can get busy on those certain Saturday nights!

Posting photos of your views welcome!




HUGE congrats to vinegaroon for the FTF!
