You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

 

Update 12/02/2023: Since the container went missing for a third time, I moved the cache and changed the container. It's still a micro. Please be respectful of the area. You don't need to move anything.

NOTE: Make sure to sign the cache logbook, as online "Found It" logs without a corresponding entry in the logbook will be deleted.
