Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES ABOVE

Square Peg in a Round Hole.....Origin: This expression dates from the 1800s, to describe people who just did not fit into situations they were in. They essentially did not have the temperament, skills, or knowledge.

Sometimes this is the way I feel about geocaching. While others seem to find caches with great ease (you look for 15 minutes and yet they log "quick find," "thanks for the grab," "P & G"). Still others come up with really difficult puzzles and yet others solve them with little effort. Therefore sometimes I don't have a vaguest idea thus "vaguest eye deer" of what I am doing. But don't let that keep you from trying to locate and find this cache.
