They paved paradise put up a parking lot."

The coordinates will take you to a new shopping area next door to Fresh Market. It's been developed for new small businesses, including a Starbucks. It's on this exact spot where "The Greenwood Cache" use to be located. This whole area was wonderful wooded green space not that long ago. The cache was a full sized ammo can, placed by wreckdiver_josh and was active from 1/10/2005 to 10/20/2009. It seems that more and more woodlands around Williamsburg are disappearing for the sake of progress. Below is a view of the area on December 24, 2005.
This is an offset cache. The final stage is 307 feet away at a bearing of 172 degrees (between South-Southeast and South) from Ground Zero. You might not be able to get any closer than 5 feet from Ground Zero; adjust your calculations appropriately. This is not a typical cache container. Patience is a virtue!
You will need your own pen.
Congratulations to BillHSKC for FTF.
