Geocache Description:

You drive to GZ and see, among other possible hide spots, a Large Green Power box. So where to look 1st......

This is a common Hide spot for urban cachers, typically using Hide-A-Key boxes. This spot is the most commonly used spot on power boxes, but they can be lower, or anywhere else on the box that it can fit, so look everywhere before you DNF – also watch out for spidy’s, oh and those pesky muggles. Nice thing for owners on Power Hides are that the power company seldom has to visit these boxes, so they are often left alone. Teleco or CATV boxes can be a place for hides as well, however they do get visited more often by technicians, so owners don’t hide on them as often.

This is also another of my favorite toy stores..... more on that later.

Here muggles won't be as big an issue, but always be aware of who could see you.

I will bookmark all Geocaching 101 caches, then add a mid-term and final cache. (Bookmarks can be found on the right hand side of this posting, and at the bottom of the bookmark you can create a query of all listed caches to download to your GPSr - another thing I've learned the hard way.)

Once you have completed this series I will list you on the final as graduated - with or without honors....... (I will track and list the first 15 graduates only)
