Digging for Coffee. Traditional Cache
scody: I don't get up that way for maintenance as often as I should, so it's a good time to put this one away and make the space available for something new and exciting.

A cache for those with unfortunate names.
Have you ever come across someone or something with an unfortunate name?
I once went to school with a girl named Helen. Miss Byrne and I had the kind of nodding acquaintance that primary school kids have with members of the opposite sex, but I was completely confused when the nun teaching our religion class explained that, if we didn't go to church and say our prayers, we might go to Helen Byrne.
So, why this cache here? Right in front of you is a building (formerly) occupied by a Engineering consultant by the name of 'Coffey'. In particular it is an office for the Mining group. If one day I introduce myself as "scody from Coffey Mining", don't be surprised if I don't laugh at your reply "Funny, I thought it grew on trees?" - we have all heard that one before.
The cache is a small container with a logbook only - you will need your own pen. Its location is not quite visible from the office building and you should be able to get away with a stealthy find. Watch out for lots of walking muggles around lunchtime on workdays, although the place is deserted on weekends. Please make sure you don't drop the cache when finding/retrieving as it may fall to an unrecoverable place.
I would love to hear in your log entry of any unfortunate names that you have come across.
