The cache is a small lock-n-lock container containing some small tradable items and the logbook.
As always, be sure to bring something to sign the log. Geocaching guidelines state for physical caches other than challenge caches, any additional logging requirement beyond finding the cache and signing the log must be optional. Caches can be logged online as "Found" after the geocacher has visited the coordinates and signed the log. Your log will be deleted if you did not sign the log.
