Why not put public art in a location where more of the public would see it? When we arrived, there were 3 men engrossed in an argument, about 50' away. Like the previous finder, we also did not mess with the gate because we didn't want to draw attention our way. Quickly signed the log and replaced the cache. By then, a car was idling in the street and a 4th man was strolling over to join the argument. Yikes! Thanks for the hide. (#1003)

I found the cache unlocked. As I was putting it back and trying to secure it, it fell. I'll try to bring something to fish it out, hopefully tomorrow.Returned to find construction crew trucks all around. There is a new apartment building going up on the corner.
Some of the crew asked what I was trying to fish out, and got some bent thick gage wire to pull up the cache.
Put it back in place, but didn't mess with the gate. [This entry was edited by GyoBucky on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 12:19:20 PM.]

I had a little trouble with the lock. I might have accidentally messed up the combo, but I'm pretty sure I left it set to one of the two logical combinations.Thanks for the cache! Find #1787. 8th find for the day. Found at 8:48 PM.

Cache was unlocked. But had a good idea how to work out the combo so after signing the cache locked it and tried again. Used a phone a friend to do the research for me. I guessed the right ones for the 2nd and 3rd. A great puzzle cache at a very strange location.

This time I solved the puzzle, opened the lock, and was able to open the cage to sign the log. I had brought what I thought was needed information with me, based on my last visit, but it turns out that I had the wrong idea. I quickly figured THAT out, realigned the little grey cells, and came up with the solution. Thanks for a most creative cache in all aspects!
