Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed for the CCARS2012 event held on May 26-27, 2012.

 

***The Cache Container Is Not Located At The Posted Co-ordinates***

But You Will Need To Start Your Search Here Per The Information Below

 

Oh, Wow! This is the first cache I've ever placed. I'm so excited, but I'm having a bit of trouble remembering the correct location of where I placed the actual container. I guess I'm just not that good with numbers since I can't seem to retain them - and if I do my problem with being partly dyslexic often kicks in. Since I've had enough of this forward/backward stuff I've had to create some visual clues in the form of waypoints to guide me to my cache container.

 

 

Okay now, let's see if I remember - here I go.

 

Step One - I have left myself really easy-to-find visual clues at the posted co-ordinates. There is no cache container here - I must look high and low for this clue. I know I don't have to be on private property so I don't even stop and linger here. But I do need to be stealthy and quiet so that I don't make the surrounding muggles and their mugglepups suspicious, since they can be observant and the pups can be loud. I must get the information and get gone quick!

Step Two - I now have to adjust the posted co-ordinates using the visual clues. A reminder to myself - control the partial dyslexia. Why is it that when I read forward at first, it comes out reversed in the end?

Step Three - This part is easy. All I need to do is follow the adjusted co-ordinates to the final (almost) location. I do know it's only a short way away as the crow flies, but the ground route isn't as simple.

Step Four - Here's the hardest part. Oh my! Muggles everywhere - driving, walking and maybe looking out their windows. I've got to be sneaky once I get to this next location to find my geocache in one of the logical hiding spots which are all only a few paces away. Pace - return - pace some more - then do it all over again. Ha! I've just made myself do the Crazy Bee Dance. Yes! - there it is....I see it!

 

Thankfully, each time I go to check on my cache container I'm getting better at finding it. Now if I could just have that happen when I go hunting for yours!
