You are looking for a small lock 'n lock container. Bring your own writing instrument. A small prize awaits the FTF.

There is a nice pull-off area for parking and there is no need to go rock climbing. It is a grab and go. Please hide it as you found it just in case muggles stop to enjoy the view.

 

Congrats to vicctria for the FTF!
