It's in the Post Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cheshireman: On a recent 'Owner Maintenance' visit to actual coordinates of the phyiscal container I sadly found the host item, a post, had rotted away to fragments of wood.
Thank you to everyone who found this cache while it was 'alive'
