As far as I can tell, there is no real good way to approach this cache. It is muddy and after a good soak, I am sure gets worse. Stumpwater will appreciate this one!
Did you ever see a spot that would make a really good cache hide? And then you log on only to find someone has hidden a film can within that radius?
Well, I finally found a good place and I am claiming the turf! The Eastowne Gang will patrol various parts within this area. However, they will not collect "protection fees" from the surrounding tenants.
In this series, you will be looking for five lock-n-lock containers (the gang members) and one well hidden micro/small placed in various parts of a business park. Some of them require stealth, some are easy to get to, some are not. Some depend on how you approach. I do not recommend parking on the side of the roads on the weekdays as the traffic can be heavy and busy professionals on cell phones tend not to see parked cars. Also, a couple of the caches will be in heavy tick, skeeter and snake areas. The gang could not force these troublemakers out.
Weekends and afterhours may be a better time to hunt.
The original location I scouted was between two trees wrapped in vines. On my way back to it, I saw this location and *HAD* to hide the cache here. I am adding the hunting atrribute because there is a hunters platform down in this area and while I am assuming that nobody is allowed to hunt there anymore, you never know with poachers. So, you may want to play it safe on weekends and wear blaze orange.
