Sometimes a really bad pun sticks in your mind, until you do something about it. Not unlike heartburn.

We found this beautiful spot to hide a cache. AB QC department noted the signal bounce here, and refused to approve the hide without a really good hint.
The picture below shows the hiding spot.

The original hide was destroyed by a tree falling on it, though it was an easy find. Replaced a short distance away.
