CelloFellow: Okay. The sign hasn't been up. It's probably a redesign. I'll hide a third hidden Mickey cache in the spring. Thanks for all who found it.

Geocache Description:

This is a 2-part puzzle cache. The cache should be a 1.5 difficulty to find, but it might take some time to find the Hidden Mickeys.

This is the first of three caches that I will hide with clues for a bonus cache. We got permission from the manager to hide the cache at this location.

The cache container is camoed a bit and is tall and thin. The original contents are a log book in a bag, a golf tee, a toy bug, two bounce balls and a race car. TB's and geocoins can fit. BYOP. P1 might be a hard night cache without any light. Other then that it should be an easy park & grab.

So you are probably thinking, "What is a Hidden Mickey?" Hidden Mickey's (HM) are basically Disney's version of geocaching. There are hidden images of Mickey, and other Disney characters throughout the theme parks, resorts, and other Disney attractions. Other characters are hidden, like Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, etc. There are two types of Mickeys; classic, and profile. Classic Mickeys are the traditional mouse logo of Disney with two circular ears, and a circular head. Profile Mickeys would be what you see if you were looking at the side of Mickey's face, an ear, a head, and a small nose.

At the coordinates, there is a store with a design that looks like a classic Hidden Mickey. The HM's are noticeable from GZ.
