Historic Caches of Rock Island County Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

AddHam: I was planning on giving notice that this one would be archived on Christmas day to give people one more week to at least sign the log before then. However, the container was missing when I arrived and there's a lot of trash around. Must be a popular dumping spot now and even the parking area is fenced off. No point in replacing for only a week so archival it is. Anyone who has previously signed the log can still log the find once they qualify. If anyone wants to republish this challenge as a new cache, have at it, too. Thanks to all who found it.
