This is Delaney's and my first hide- and after some trial and errors, here it is!. Delaney actually picked the final hiding place. Blends in well and is very hard to spot. Park and grab. Lots and lots of Muggles!
NOTE : 6/4/11. NEW CONTAINER AS ORIGINAL HAS GONE MISSING.
Most tug boaters are coffee drinkers. They wake up to it and some of them take it to bed. Generally speaking that is. When on the tug (for six weeks at a stretch) I do not touch the stuff. The crew thinks I am crazy but I find it keeps me from getting the important sleep I need.
When I am off work and at home (again for six weeks at a stretch)I will have a cup most mornings. For a long time I rarely brewed my own at home, as my wife does not like coffee or the smell. I would grab my cup o joe from Starbucks, 7-11 or any other donut or coffee joint that was nearby.
This past Christmas my wife got me an espresso/cappuccino maker and I have been making my own at home. I love it! Plus, we're now saving a little money.
Anyway, I recently emptied a container of Illy's Espresso Roast and thought what a great cache container!
Keeping with the coffee theme the hide was going to be placed near one of my old nearby favorite places to kick back and enjoy a cup- however, being new to this, I didn't realize it would be too close to an already existing cache.. So after some consideration and some running around with my new Oregon 450T and double and triple checking things against Google Earth and looking at other nearby cache locations we came up with another spot for the cache. I am so HAPPY as the location is actually a better choice than my first one and a lot better hide.
First to find prize keeps with the coffee theme as well. Enjoy!
In your logs please tell me what kinda coffee you are partial to- is it Starbucks? 7-11? Dunkin Donuts? Peet's? Something else? Do you like it black? cream and sugar? Or do you prefer a foo foo specialty coffee?
Cache has some room for small trade items. Please return as you found it and make sure the top is screwed back on tightly. Watch out for Muggles please.
Nomex- thank you for your advice and education on this first hide of ours.
CONGRATULATIONS TO A TEAM VALLEJO ON FIRST TO FIND!!
