Cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it's a good place to park.
I thought I'd try setting up a cache and get back into that part of geocaching. It's been a while -- I think I'm a bit rusty at this. I got a medium-sized plastic container, painted it black, put some stuff in, and headed for a favorite park. It was a brisk Spring morning, about 41 degrees, and there was some fog on the pond as the sun came up. As I headed out to look for a hiding place I saw family of four fishing by the lake. They had caught a fish - a bluegill about 7 inches. They were having a good time, but the kids were not about to help get that hook out.
About then I realized I was a total zero. I my GPS receiver was back at home on the counter. Thankfully home was not far away, so I went back to the car and in six minutes I was home. Six minutes later I was back at the park in the same parking place. Don't forget to give them a parking coordinate I thought, so I checked it and wrote it down. (The spot is north of the cache.)
By now the sun was up and the weather on the radio forecasted a high of 87 degrees. More people were showing up at the park, including five walkers and runners, and about 9 kids in the play area. Some guy with a GPS was studying a plaque and punching in numbers. By now it was almost nine a.m. and I was running out of time. With about forty minutes left to get this done I got serious and headed for the less busy areas. I kept thinking I had found a good spot but there was always something - too brushy, too noticeable, too wet, and all that. Finally the fourth place I tried seemed OK. I hid the cache and headed back to the car to post the cache.
Word of advice: Don't hide a cache without recording the location. All I remember now is that it's a bit west of a big tree.
I guess you'll have to park at the coordinate and think "where would I hide it?" Someone's bound to find it eventually.
