Ace is the Place Mystery Cache

The cache is not hidden at the posted coordinates. They will, however, take you to a good place to park. You'll have to look around a bit to find the first stage clue. (OK, in answer to some questions from cachers -- when you find the clue, there should be no question as to whether or not it is actually the clue you are seeking... Does that make sense?) After finding the clue, then it's off to the second and final stage located not far away.

The Oaks Shopping Center is a fairly recent addition to Saline's landscape. The new hardware store there is a frequent destination for team tessandfriends. While window shopping one Saturday morning, we spotted a potential location to hide a clue. At the second and final stage you will find a small camouflaged loc-n-loc container with the usual trinkets.

The First to Find award is the honor of having your team name prominently displayed below.

The First to Find Award goes to annisarich -- found an amazingly short time after the cache was published.
