Geocache Description:

This cache was put out by Team Cache Divers in celebration of their Big 10 Anniversary. Even though the event was planned it had to be cancelled due to Geowoodstock being the next weekend. But we decided to put the caches out for our friends anyways.

This is a large cache and should be fairly easy to do a park and grab. Please use your best stealth and recover it so it doesn't get muggled.
