You are looking for a pill container NOT camoed to it's enviroment.

I am a Health Care Aide, and I work for HomeCare. My job is to work as part of a the HomeCare team to help people in the community remain living in their homes safely as long as possible. Every day I go to work and drive around from home to home helping people get up, washed, dressed, make breakfast,  ensure meds are take and many, many, MANY other tasks that most of us able people take for granted that we can do ourselves. It used to be that sometimes all someone needs help with is checking to make sure that meds are taken, or taking them out of the package and putting them into a little cup for them to take. The policy has now changed, and we are generally not allowed to set out meds anymore, or just verify that they were taken... but I used to find myself asking endlessly, "Did you take your pills?" Hence the name for the original cache, and I figured with it being a pill container, that it worked. To be more specific, because there are many types of pill containers, this is a KEYCHAIN style pill container...
When I first started caching, I thought that when I put out caches, I should put one here because there was a street sign with a name on it for this invisible street. I was going to name it that name, but alas, I couldn't remember what that name was, and it was no longer there. For a little while  however you could see it in the streetview images... but couldn't make out the sign...
Thanks to ertyu for letting me know that it was Rusholme Road!
Big thanks to the MIGs who saved me cleaning my car out so I could place this cache!
Beware of muggles 2 legged and 4, lots of people walk their dogs through this way on their way to crescent park

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE LOGSHEET, YOU CAN NOT CLAIM THIS CACHE AS FOUND. YOUR LOG WILL BE REMOVED.

All non-virtual geocaches must contain a logbook. If it must contain a logbook for you to sign, then you must sign said logbook. If your name is not in the logbook then you have not truly found the geocache. Bring something to mark in the logbook if you you would like to count the find.

Ooooohhh, this was a fun little cache! I was pretty happy with this find. My friend Angelfreak took me out geocaching for my first finds in like... literally 3 years lol. I'd basically dropped off the radar for a while there. Won't get into it, not a happy story lol, but I'm getting on my feet again. So I was able to get out caching again! Thank you AngelFreak, though my enthusiasm wasn't what it used to be, I do thank you for breaking me out of my stasis and getting me out there again.

And so, we were wandering around in this little forest area ^_^

Once we'd reached ground zero, we kinda split up a little bit and began hunting around high and low. It didn't take too long though, and I had spotted the cache! In proper Geocaching style, I kinda continued to "hunt" for a few moments while walking away from the find, then proudly announced that I had found the cache, and was leaving it up to AngelFreak to make the find herself ^_^

That shortly done, we questioned how best to tackle this cache. Being the monkey of the group, it didn't take me long to reach the height of the cache.

To be honest, I had hoped this would have been like... a terrain 4 or so cache, that would have made it a lot more interesting. Because as far as monkey-type actions are concerned, this was REEEEEALLY climbable, and really fun :D :D <3

So with some fun fun climbing out of the way, I dropped the cache down to my friend, who signed it for both of us and passed it back up. Once the cache was back in place, I worked my way back from whence I came, and found my way onto terra firma once again. Not before I'd left a nanomaille chainmaille ball in the geocache though ^_^

Thank you so much for the wonderful cache! LOVED the cache container, AND the story to go along with it! I'm a Health Care Aide myself, but work in a personal care home (with goals of one day working for a Hospice facility). Your struggles... I know of them. I can feel you sis ^_^

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and micromaille ball ^_^
