Fire trail! Traditional Cache

Awesome view of islamabad. Tough uphill trek towards Monal, via the fire trail OR easier route via trail 3. *reported for maintenance, but I have moved out and visit a few times a year. Apologies for any inconvenience. If possible, please take some post its and a pen and place in container.
Please log with a pic of the container and I will mark it in the new logbook, if I ever get a chance to visit the trail again. I hope you enjoy the trek and the view at least. If container is missing, do notify here and I'll pay a visit to update. *update* There's an easier way instead of the fire trail now. on the normal trail 3 there will be a clearing on the left, leading to the fire trail, within a hundred meters of the coordinates. That route is easier for those who find the fire trail too hard to climb. Hidden on the fire trail (get on trail three, follow trail till you see a board with fire dept phone number, to the left of the board climbs the fire trail, cutting trail three). tough climb, bound to make you pant unless you are a veteran hiker. keep climbing on the fire trail, and after the rest area, keep following it, until you see a small animal track to your left. crawl under the bush towards the location ( huge rocks makes it obvious). If you look hard, you will surely see it. Note: while climbing, do look back once in a while, so that you do not miss the beautiful view. Keep following the trail after the find for an hour and a half, and you'll reach an army checkpost in the mountains (after tougher climbs) follow the trail downwards and you will reach La Montana and Monal restaurant. good food. Take water along. Please do not let muggles stop you from finding it. You can always find a time when there are no or very few muggles. Bring the cache out to the trail and sit (thats how I perform maintenance), because someone in the bushes causes more suspicion than someone resting on the trail (its a tiring ascent).
