Trial and Error Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CrystalandKatherine: We've found all the pieces of this, and managed to put it all back together, but unfortunately we've decided that it's highly likely that the same thing would happen to it again in this location. We're sorry if you wanted to go looking for it and never had the chance. Thanks to everyone who went searching for our first geocache! [8)]

Geocache Description:

The terrain for this one can be much easier or a bit harder, depending on which direction you're coming from.
The camouflaged decon container may be fairly obvious to some, or it may take some searching.
This is our first cache placement, so we welcome feedback concerning terrain and difficulty ratings.

When we first decided that we were experienced enough finding caches to start placing them, we honestly didn't think it would be difficult at all. I figured we'd just mark a spot that we thought was nifty while we were out and about, and then put something there. No such luck. I had my heart set on three different spots, only to have to abandon each of them when someone else put something there first. It seemed like every time I picked a spot, a cache would be published in the immediate area within the next few days, before I had the chance to place mine. My mantra became, “Well, at least we saw a snake,” because every time we unsuccessfully looked for good coordinates, we saw a snake or two (which is great because we love them).
So when I remembered stumbling upon this spot, and how pretty it was in the springtime, I thought that if we could just get something in here fast enough, we would be all set. Luckily, we had the cache itself all ready to go from our last failed placement attempt, so here it is.
The decon is starting out with a small metal pill container (good for micros) for the FTF if they want it, and some small trinkets for trading. Only smaller trade items will fit.

PLEASE return cache EXACTLY as you found it. Guys. *Exactly.* I am serious. :[
The park closes at 10pm, please follow the rules.
Have fun, and watch out for the mosquitoes! Nasty little flying needles.
