Geocache Description:

A simple micro placed in a spot I found while having a very bad day. You're at a busy intersection so watch for muggles, but most don't pay this spot much attention.

The stretches of road along this cache have been a source of some bad luck for me. I got in a car accident that totaled my car just a block away. I was supposed to move into an apartment right by this corner and it fell through. Sure, unpleasant things happen...but that is not what this cache is about. Sometimes a really bad day accidentally produces something awesome. After the latter incident, I stumbled on this area.

I drive by here every day while heading to work and yet I had never noticed it. The only reason I DID find this spot was because I was there to pick up a deposit on the failed apartment. Sure, I was in a bad mood, but I found a perfect spot for a cache in a town that needs more of them. So really, I don't need lemonade. Just some camo tape.

Congrats to KU Jayhawk and scottberks on the co-FTF!

Update: I'm upping the difficulty from a 1.5 to a 2. It seems that muggles like taking smoke breaks here and GPS can bounce around a bit in this location.

Update 3-28-10: Upping the difficulty again. This cache just seems to give people a lot of trouble. I never expected it to be so problematic. The style of hide is not uncommon and no super sneaky camouflage was used. Just camo tape.

Update 4-1-10: Decided to update the hint since I've told enough people this, it might as well be there for everyone.
