She's a dutch super-trooper. So 'zuurstof'=oxygen; 'lucht dicht'=air-tight; 'aangepaste'=customised; 'gemodificeerde'=modified. Rest is evident, right?

She went to the wrong entrance - sit tight. She says there a lot of people there so does not feel scared.

Ahahaha....Amandel is such a KLUTZ so I meant daylight or a mega flashlight for that reason. Wishing her luck & saying THX now as I have to leave in 50 mins.

She found the tree! But we might have to wait until she gets back to the car for any more pictures.

Might be wrong tree We are checking the other trees nearby but she's cursing the darkness! No box under the BOOMWORTELS yet.

I've been constantly checking VondelPark trees. More b/c it's winter (fallen leaves) than the SSTV pics' clarity tho am still certain it's a weeping willow (treurwilg).

The tree in the first two pictures does not seem to have roots that look like the tree in the 3rd picture. She says there is no space under them for a box like that. She is still looking but we're about ready to call it a day. Here is the tree that it appears to be. There is a bench close to the tree if you follow along the path but the flashlight app on her phone might not provide enough light.

Coordinates marked and streetview of what would look to be the view from the path at that point facing the pin. Just looking at it from further down the path from GU17's grab.

Calling it off for now. Unless it is buried it would appear that someone has taken the box already. She did not have anything to dig with and was wearing new shoes so didn't want to try and dig around with a stick in the dark. Maybe when it is light.

I wonder if there is any chance this was part of another existing geocache. Not finding one immediately.

I had checked that too and it didn't even show the cache at the Police Station that was referenced. Here is the address from the envelope. I have submitted the AML34561 to be authorized just in case. My friend has half an hour tomorrow lunch time where she will try again in the daylight.

i have found some possible info. AML34561 is a record code for a record by "The Carpenters" called "A Song For You"
Google'd AML34561 and got
http://www.discogs.com/Carpenters-Yesterday-Once-More/release/4421806
If you look under notes you can see that the B side of that album is from a different album.
the other album is "A Song For You"

This is really neat.
And yeah, if it's an "existing" geocache, it's less than 161m to the next closest, which isn't allowed. It may still be possible, if it's the final location of a puzzle cache (there are a couple posted nearby) and the proximity guideline was missed or ignored in this case by the reviewer (it happens).
It also may be an old archived cache. *shrug*
Hope you find it, either way
