Geocache Description:

Cache is available during daylight hours ONLY. This cache is PWP (placed with permission) of the property owner. All they ask is that you DO NOT hunt for it at night or when there is a wedding going on at the nearby building. PLEASE RESPECT THEIR WISHES.

built by Alun Ward, took him 15 years to complete due to the fact that he only worked on it one day a year, mid summers eve, or the summer solstice.

Original contents of the cache are:

Pen
