Lampposts - A Fools Errand Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CC: I cannot find a compelling reason to have this cache here. My intention was to be silly and humorous. The logs do not indicate I hit the mark. There is no interesting reason to come here.

Geocache Description:

A micro cache with no camouflage. You are looking for a bright silver bison tube / pill FOB. Please rehide it carefully keeping the challenge for the next cacher.

While the cache area is pretty accessible, I cannot be sure a wheelchair bound cacher would be able to get the cache, so the terrain is a 1.5.

Lampposts are in integral part of GeoCaching. Caches like this are a diversion from from the challenges of hiking 1000 feet straight up. Sure, from up there, you can see wild geese chasing all the red herrings, but that does not help your numbers. It takes so long for the concealment and you always have to worry about following false trails. Some caches make you go all the way there under false pretenses. You get there and find you have been deceived. The beauty of a lamppost cache is you always know what you are looking for. You pull into a driveway and bingo, you know what you are looking for. No curve balls thrown at you there.
