Geocache Description:

This micro-cache could drive you crazy. Bring a pen and very sharp eyes! This cache is rated a 3 because of its excellent camouflage. Please read all text before seeking! This cache is walkable from VVTA bus route 52, stop 16.


Manicured lawns and gardens are certainly ubiquitous in desert suburbia now adays. They don't contain much mystery or any element of surprise normally. But this one is special. The cache is only large enough for a very small log, and it isn't in the rose bushes nor attached to the house.. LOL

Yes, it is on private property, but I have express permission to host it there, and all Geocachers (with GPS in hand) have permission to look for it. Please don't trample flowers, mess with the solar lighting, or move rocks or dig anything up.. a little respect will keep this cache operational. You are allowed to step on the lawn and beauty-bark. Don't trip and hurt yourself or go near the rose bushes, the property owner is not liable for any injuries or accidents. Don't be surprised if the property residents sit out on the porch having a drink or stand nearby laughing at your desperate attempt to find this very well camouflaged cache. The neighbors at all the houses nearby are all aware of the cache so don't sweat it.

When you think you've found it, carefully remove it by pulling it straight out, gently. It's delicate! Please pay attention to how you put it back, not to crush the log or its keepers.. simply tighten it up the way it was, slide it's keeper over it, put it it into its base, then replace the cover gently over it and pay attention to make it look invisible as possible for the next cacher!

Don't worry that you're stuck on stupid if you can't find it straight off. I anticipate many exhausted cachers will look like they got beaten with the ugly stick after they just can't find it! This is truly a hard find.. never the less, it is there! (I promise on my GPS! OK, ok...The Bible even!) If the wind is blowing the right way, and the stars are in alignment, maybe you will find it quickly!

For a nice chat about geocaching, ring the doorbell at the house. The chime is annoying and is sure to get an answer quickly! :)

Your moments of frustration and joy are being recorded on a private video camera on the cache property. To preserve this moment forever, when you find the cache, turn and face the upper right corner of the garage door and hold out the cache to display your triumph! For those who ask, the video of this precious time sucked away by my cache can be emailed to you or posted to this page. I just need a precise time of day that you visited along with your cache log to post the videos... And then I may post them anyways if I see something really funny upon review... ;)
