Practice your high quality caching here and use some discretion.
This is a HIGHLY CAMOUFLAGED M&M tube.
A Little Background
There’s a term for what this cache represents; I think it’s
“micro-spew”. This particular hide gets hammered more than any
other, mainly because it’s EVERYWHERE. You can’t go 1 mile in this
county without hitting 20 of them.
Let’s be honest; you love it. You know you do, you just wish there
was another way, something more sexy, maybe even a little
challenging for once. Here’s your scenario: you’re out at the mall
shopping for some reason or thing long since forgotten and your
significant other ducks in while you wait plaintively in the
parking lot for his/her return. You pull up the GPS and find just
the thing to pass the time.
The problem is, it’s an LPC. You’re 50’ away and this is going to
kill precisely 15 seconds while you recover the waterlogged and
disheveled prize. No pen, of course, so you just have to wing it.
You make a bet with yourself that you can guess which side it is on
(1:4) or how many people have signed the log, just to make it
interesting.
Please, for the love of god, make it interesting.
Like your very first time. Right? Don’t you remember how clever you
thought this hide was when you first found it? Forget it. Those
days are over. You’re here for the smiley and that’s it; just keep
those expectations low and we will get along just fine.

What’s Wrong With It?
Actually, this isn’t so bad. It’s not that the LPC is awful, just
ubiquitous. What “top-10 worst” list is complete without the LPC?
Don’t worry. Even as I bash it, I have 15 LPCs on my to do list.
How Do You Fix That Again?
This is so easy it hurts. Get creative! Nobody enjoys a fake-out
more than me. Take it a different direction, heck, hide it in the
bulb if you can. Here, you're looking for a highly camouflaged
M&M tube.
Better Choices in the Area
There is only one LPC. Now go get it!
