Some may remember the previous EC-121 cache that was placed near here (GC24M4R). Problems arose with it however, the first container rusting away and the second's lid cracking. Could not find a spot that would do better so it ended up getting archived. I have taken a look at this location again here lately and finally found a spot for a more durable container. Parking is tricky, try to pull into the spot at the top of the hill. Probably best to come in the evening when there is less traffic.
