One of HP's friends from school had a birthday this week and her
mother, a brave woman, agreed to host a sleepover birthday party.
HP was very excited because this was her first overnight party.
After picking her up this morning, I suggested we place a cache to
commemorate the occasion. We sniffed around and found a great spot
right in their neighborhood.
HP tells me she had lots of fun last night, but I'm not sure how
much actual sleeping took place. She laid down for a minute on the
couch when we got home and slept for three-and-a-half hours.

are problems with the coordinates or a hint is needed.
FVisCool had something interesting to say
about the cache in his entry. I've edited it a little and
reproduced it here:
Picked up Gecko TB and dropped off Funnyshine TB. I know you
named the cache after your daughter's sleepover event, but there is
geography history related to your site.
The nearest street is Erskine Dr. In 1777, Gen George
Washington, who was not only our first President but also had
survey experience, appointed Col Robert Erskine as the first
geographer and surveyor for the Continental Army. For more info, go
to WikiPedia's Robert Erskine entry or Army Geographer.
