Geocache Description:

Entrance to neighborhood. Near sidewalk. Please geocache more in my neighborhood!

congrats to Alpinemm for FTF

Those green utility boxes (AKA padmount transformers) are a geocachers best friend- they are ubiquitous to the point that they tend to fade into the background. Moreover, most muggles rarely approach them, making them a nice place to put a small cache in an urban or suburban area.

Geocaches should also serve a utility... for this one, it is to get you into the neighborhood! I'm hoping that it will get you to close enough to the other caches in the area that you could spend some time in this neck of the woods (not begging, but we don't see you enough and it would be nice if you visited every once in a while!). Hopefully, you'll find this cache memorable.

NOTE: When it comes to these electrical boxes, I would never hide anything inside of the box or anywhere that would require someone to reach where they can't see. Remember that these boxes do contain high voltage so be careful!

Think outside of the box (see above). Pun intended. Yes, to reiterate, pun WAS intended.

Important to replace as found.

...ummm... maybe you could fit something in it if you really tried...hey, you might be really creative... who am I to doubt you... you might be really special: the next NEOcacher (i.e., "the one")... I mean... I put a log there...so- well- you'll see...
