You are looking for an unusual container. REMOVE THE LID ONLY!! IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE CONTAINER!! The cache will hold several trade items and includes a pencil. Once you've signed the log, please be sure to TIGHTEN THE LIDS securely so the cache stays dry and Muggles aren't alerted.
In the early 2000's, Ashland artist Denise Spaulding and several other local talents painted a short sequence of murals showing Ashland’s role in World War II. On the floodwall bordering a nearby parking lot, there are also several isolated murals painted with quilts and images from local history.
Also at this site is the former Chesapeake and Ohio freight depot located at 15th Street near the Ohio River. The freight depot, constructed in 1906 on the former Aldine Hotel site, was an abandoned derelict structure before being renovated in the late 1990s to serve as a unified transportation hub for the city. It now houses the city bus system, the Greyhound bus system and serves Amtrak passengers as well.
You will need to practice MUCH stealth as this is a highly concentrated Muggle area. The best time to search would be after business hours and on weekends. PLEASE be respectful of the landscaping and practice Cache In and Trash Out.
The original cache contained a pair of dice, 5 golf tee's, a packet of sunscreen, 2 keychains, a cow eraser and the log. It is large enough for small travel bugs.

3/5/2014: The cache had gone MIA in February but has now been replaced and upgraded to, hopefully, a more secure container. In keeping with the the spirit of the game, please, please, PLEASE (with a cherry on top!) consider future cachers and maintain the integrity of the cache by assuring that it stays well disguised. Happy caching!
