CONGRATS TO ACE226 WHO IS THE FIRST TO FIND ALL 8!

Yes in the beginning there were many errors including the location of this cache. At this point I have been caching for three months and have made many beginner mistakes:

1) Don't post a cache until the cache is in place!
2) Triple check the coordinates before posting!
3) Don't place caches in restricted areas: National Parks, Parking garages....war zones! (kidding)
4) Make sure there are no other caches too close by;
5) Make sure you put in the right coordinates while seeking a cache!
6) Don't hang caches using duct tape....it breaks!
7) If your cache is in a public area make sure it won't be confused with a bomb. See GC152F8 for full details and pics!

I have made all of these and more. (Except driving my van over a cliff at night...eh Tim? Or sliding down an embankment for a cache thats actually in the rafters of a shelter...eh Sue?) This cache is dedicated to such "learnings". This cache is actually located very close to the coordinates that I incorrectly input for "A Short Hike in the Winter" just off enough to make it an hour search in an area that looked like it was perfect for a cache! It is now!

This cache is a small camo'd Lock n Lock. Park at the powerlines on the Claudie Road head in some 250 meters and fill your boots! The cache is now very winter friendly. Hey and don't hesitate to share your own embarassing moments...I have more!

Congrats to Timrs2001 with the FTF!
