EDIT : 9/15/2012
Most of my caches are too difficult ,thus, this one broken down to be less hard to find.
The easy part is that it is an ammo can, and now located near hatch accessible from its belly, but, if wet and nasty day, if too many bees about...practically need a drop cloth to lie on to get under and stick head in to look around!!! send the "small" ones in.

Hint: Accessibility appearances may be deceptive.
