After failing to get permission to keep this cache in its original location, I made some changes to the questions so that I could rehide it in a new location.  Sorry about any confusion.  Below are the new questions if you are planning on attempting this one.  It is now no longer on private property.
 
Thanks,
Team Bins Keep

What a unique placement! It's almost as if it was meant to be hidden there, even if it isn't supposed to be. Took the Mouse #2 traveller and left a Yoda/Vader magic cube.

9:00am - Against my better judgement, I went into forbidden territory for this cache. Within 90 seconds, I walked around the locked gate, found the cache, logged in, and returned to the Jeep and drove away before the police arrived.

Thanks Team Bins Keep for the Star Wars trivia puzzle. Team Wyle E - Larry (Gidget stayed in the Jeep as lookout).

Definately an -Are you sure you got the coordinates right?- spot. My wife is the Star Wars fanatic in the house but she managed to get all the answers right on the first try. We liked the hiding spot for the cache!

Traded official Obi-Wan and Jar-Jar figures for an EV-9D9 figure and the Jabba Glob.

My hubby the Star Wars fanatic actually got one of the questions wrong and we first ended up at someone's house! :O But we quickly corrected the mistake and found the place without problems. It WAS weird being there just like Team Sand Dollar noted! But a fun cache!

Exchanged 3 Star Wars Micromachines for the Comic book.
Thanks!

(Find #252) Wasn't sure I had the right location and felt strange being there but the desire to get another first drove me to continue the hunt. No problem determining where to look and found the cache right away. That was a clever hiding spot. Took the traveler as I had nothing to exchange.
