Geocache Description:

This cache is best done in the afternoon hours or the weekend as the activity VERY early on weekdays is nothing short of a New York City cab ride. As a matter of fact its quite a show. You'll find out where all those organic carrots, chirimoya, and rambutan originate from at your local market. Nearby is a diner where all those workers go at the end of their day, typically the beginning of ours.

The order lingo of diners has always amused me, half the fun was decyphering meaning then realizing the humor behind them.
