07/2012 The yellow text no longer applies. Lots of rowhouses now.
When you visit, log what what the nearby field looks like. This is not a requirement, just an exercise in time-lapse observations.
Previously hidden as a geocache, habitat destruction destroyed the functionality and theme of that hide. The vast expanse of dirt you can see was, until recently, a wonderful forest filled with many trees which were over a hundred years old. Maybe by the time you read this, the dirt will have given rise to housing and stores.
There were squirrels, wild turkeys, deer, salamanders, foxes, rats, black snakes, and other animals here. One habitat has given way to another. Now there are geese which stop by - attracted to the new retention ponds.
The mulch you are walking on was once trees on the other side of the fence. Under that mulch (take my word on this, no need to dig) is a garbage dump for the human houses which used to be across the fence. They have long since been removed as well. What will be piled here a hundred years in the future? It all comes down to recycling. The cache site and container have both been recycled - as has this parcel of land.
2/21/2011 - Downsized the container to the dreaded film canister due to the mysterious appearance of property survey markers. Kept the same hiding place. So... it is a micro hidden where a small once was.
Please Park Legally. If not, keep your eyes open for the occasional towtruck.
