Geocache Description:

Second of 2 in Botanic Garden [edit - only one for now - have to move the other farther away to meet guidelines]. A great place for a weekend trek.

Bento Box 5 (Bento is Japanese for lunch box), named after SHRTRDG's son Benton.

WE HAVE MOVED the cache out of the bamboo to a more "residential" location. Another paint can-style can, so bring your keys or swiss army knife to open the can.

Located in the South Coast Botanic Garden - we planted 2 here. (other being moved)

Original Contents: Samantha Fox Tape, Knight, White Tiger, Skull Pez dispenser, and kids wet ones. Also log and pencil.

If ever there were a place that would be fun to hide 100 caches, THIS park is the place! : )

There is a tree right above the cache, so the coordinates will get you within 10 feet or so probably.
