This Cache is to celebrate our 100th find. The Cache is in a high trafic area but there is ample parking just off the highway near the cache. (Caution at the intersection with US Rt 50) Even with nearby highway trafic muggles shouldn't be a problem since the cache is just out of sight of the highway. (At least in the summer with leaves on)
We cache as a team and find that sharing this time together is very enjoyable. We hope you have fun searching for this cache. Congratulations to jlcslc2053 and Carpe Cachem for being First to Find.
Safe and Happy Caching,
