Better to try this one on a slow weekend. I was tracking down the stages on a busy workday and the parking was scarce. I was very happy when I spotted the final on my first try! I was careful and took extra time at each stage to make sure I got the correct data.

We started this cache four days ago. We parked at the first waypoint and walked to the next three. We drove to the fifth waypoint, jumped out of the car to get the info and starting solving the puzzle. We drove to the parking coords and realized we did something wrong. So we went back to the second waypoint and put in a different date and tried again. It still wasn't right! As it was getting late we headed home. The next day husband had to come back out this way so he drove back to waypoint two and this time we had the correct date. So today we headed out to finally finish this cache. We found the parking area and the trail, it's so much easier when you have the correct numbers. There's a sign at the beginning of the trail that says "no pets" but we weren't going to leave until we found the cache. We found the cache, signed the log and dropped the Jangor's Kitties 2008 Geocoin. TFTC #258

It took me a while as this was my first catch. It was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours around the city. Thanks
