Geocache Description:

- ADOPT THIS CACHE - I am moving out of state soon and will no longer be able to maintain this cache.
A log-only micro cache done in a style I admired by cache_in_pocket of Lake Forest, CA. Bring your own writing instrument. A twist I added - cammo finish naturally created in the Mojave Desert of CA - I found this while caching near Baker, CA. Watch parking rules and PLEASE WATCH FOR MUGGLES!!

Per Igoooor :The Long Beach Downtown Farmers Market (visit link) has found a new home at GZ. It will be almost impossible to get to the cache Fridays 10am - 3pm while the market is in full swing. In fact, I see them setting up when I get to work at 8:30am so please be aware and plan around it. Happy New Year!

I like caches that teach or have something to show. If you search for a hint on this one, you will learn something interesting to me as a designer. Everything you need is here on this web page.

Note added 8/7/06 -- I checked on the cache and noticed that GPS readings do bounce all over the place. You need to do your homework and use your geosenses. You may not be able to follow your device right up to the spot. When you get within 30ft, put your GPS in your pocket.

PARKING TIP from shell1fish and mdawaffe:
We found free parking about a block and a half away. Parking Lot G, on the south side of Broadway betweeen Chestnut and Pacific, advertises 30 minutes free parking for library patrons. It worked for us on a Saturday morning (we weren't asked for any library validation or anything either), and there's even a pay-before-you-exit machine in the SE corner of the 1st floor to give you those extra 2 minutes.
