It does appear to be gone unfortunately.

Trying for at least one cache a day for as long as possible this year.

This one was also close to work and I had a really good idea what to expect. It always makes me smile when I drive past a bold pole cache that I have found previously.

However, today I was disappointed, as no cache was to be found. It looks like the galvanised paint on the pole has been touched up in the last couple of months, so it's likely the cache was discovered and removed then.... Sad

Arrived at this one to find it had fallen prey to a muggle weed eater, located cache (minus logsheet) in the open covered in grass clippings. Clean it up as best we could, made some running repairs, made up a new logsheet and returned to the far side of the item and up a bit higher. TFTC
