This Sign of the Times (SOT) series is designed to highlight
various locations indicative of the current economic environment
that businesses are facing. There are a total of seventeen caches
on this journey. It is designed to be a fun and easy series. They
are mostly park and grabs, and by their very nature, likely to be
for a limited time only! Found within the container of the first
sixteen caches will be a clue that will be used to locate the
seventeenth and final cache: SOT 17: Epitome. The clues will
either be alpha or numeric; this will be important to the final
puzzle so please make a note. The order is important as well.
The entire series of caches are:
This Cache
This used to be the Sam's Warehouse we would frequent. For some
reason this one didn't fare too well. They tried changing the
concept to be more business/office supply oriented before they
finally shuttered the place.
October 17, 2010 - I see today that Garden Ridge is moving in
soon. Perhaps this series will transform from a story of melancholy
to an inspirational story of rebirth.
November 12, 2010 - Due to all the recent signs of activity due
to Garden Ridge moving in, I'm having to move this to a new
location. The previous LnL has been muggled twice. You are now
looking for a well camoed bison tube in a different part of this
shopping center. Watch out for the new security patrols (on foot
and in cars). Please tuck the cache away exactly as found.
