This cache is being placed by request of property owner. After over hearing me and another cacher talking about geocaching he asked what geocaching was. We told him and he was all about putting one here at this historical building.
Depending on the time of day there could be no muggles to lots of muggles. (You might meet property owner at anytime.) You might want this one to be the last on list after a long day of caching. So you can step inside and relax for awhile. (Who knows I might be there as well.)
Hope you have fun finding this cache as much as I have placing it.
