You are looking for a very small Lock ‘n’ Lock. At times, you may encounter muggles, so be wary. Because the location of the hide makes it difficult to get accurate satellite readings,
we are including a rather specific hint. As always, please conceal the cache at least as well as you find it.
This cache has been placed as part of the New York State Taconic Region Geocache Challenge.
