Geocache Description:


When the park across the street was first being constructed around the Yellow Metal Art Form, I considered hiding a geocache but there were no good spots. On March 13, I came back and discovered the park had been widened and there were a number of spots, so I placed a hide called "Yellow Metal and Green Bushes", wanting to have a nice easy high-traffic find to offset some of the tougher puzzle caches I've been putting out there. Unfortunately, I learned that this park is probably off-limits to caching, so I returned today to find an alternative spot. Found one not far away and, with just a comma placed into the cache title, the title makes perfect sense.

The original, apparently-muggled cache was a green bison, but I replaced it on 9/22/13 with a silver bison. More recently (i.e. September 2019), someone couldn't find the solver replacement but DID find the original green bison...so it's possible that there are TWO difficult-to-find caches here now!! AND, in 2023, some DNFs led me to put down a THIRD container when I could not quickly spot either of the original two.  Find any of them and sign the log you get credit for the find. Find and sign THREE, if they are all there, and you will have the supreme self-satisfaction of being the one geocacher who was able to spot 'em all!

REQUEST: When I put in the 12/29/23 replacement, I didn't have a scissors to trim the zip tie, so I humbly request that the first finder to visit the newly-replaced cache bring a scissors and trim the zip tie so the excess tie isn't sticking out as it currently is.  Thanks!

Bring a tweezers to more easily extract the log. Also, you may need a couple of quarters to feed local meters. The following poem should help you zero in:

 

If your butt is on metal

And your face is in green

And at both sides you see yellow

Well, that would really be keen

 

Cache on!
