I saw this location and it was just crying for a cache. Just look at all those LPS’s (Lamp Post Skirt’s)! And if you need more skirts then this store is sure to have one or two for you. Please use stealth, your brain, your geo-sense, your geo-force, or what have you. Please DO NOT post any spoilers. If you do, I will delete your post. This way everyone can enjoy the experience.
If you are a DMB fan like me then you know what song you should be hearing as you hunt for this cache. There is a scratch off lotto ticket for the FTF.
