Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not those of the cache, but they are not far from the subject of one of the pictures below. To find the cache, you must study the pictures carefully, and go to where they were taken from.

This cache is a regular sized ammo can. It is hidden in a very popular area, so stealth is needed. There is street parking several blocks away, but not at the closest street.

The cache is close to where the pictures below were taken. Once you find that spot, you will be between the Two and the Five. The cache is behind one of the Two (not one of the Five). Unfortunately, the only spot that is well out of sight is the spot with the most fearsome protections, and that is where the cache had to go.
Update: The fearsome protection has been tamed, and the cache was found and removed. We have replaced the cache with a micro container. Just stand between the Two and the Five, and ask yourself: "Where is the most obvious place to put a micro?". Should be an easy find. The micro has coordinates to the final cache, which is about 1/3 mile away, and is an easy walk. Update: I have replaced the micro with something that is much much more readable and will likely last a long time. Look for something flat, white, maybe 3 by 3/8 inches in size. The coordinates of the final cache are written on it.

These pictures were not taken recently, so some minor details may have changed. Major details are mostly fine. Update: yes, the pictures aren't as helpful as they once were. I have upped the difficulty rating until I get get out there again with my, um, camera, and with luck will be able to find as good of targets as before.

The final cache has sprouted a new crop of fearsome protection, but I was able to find a path to it in shorts, sandals, and short sleaves without drawing too much blood. Consider your attire before heading out.
