Geocache Description:

Charlotte cache hidden in a manner found in other Big Cities.

Charlotte has always had aspirations of being a Big City and celebrates all things that move us closer to that status.  Big buildings, Big Business, Big Time Professional Sports and Big Time Light Rail have all combined to bring the Queen City into the ranks of up and coming cities.  What has been missing, until now, is a Big City style cache that one finds in true big cities such as Chicago, New York and Boston. 

When traveling to Chicago for work I looked for caches near the Palmer House Hilton where I normally stayed.   There was one right across the street called “On Jersey Shores - GC1F2W9” that was only a two star cache.  Thinking this must be fairly easy I set out after work and spent a frustrating 30 minutes dodging Muggles and looking everywhere I could think of to find the cache before reluctantly posting a DNF.  It was not until a subsequent trip that I found the cache then smacked myself in the forehead for missing it the first time.  Since then I have found a number of caches hidden in a similar manner and thought it would be appropriate to hide one in this way in Charlotte.

You are looking for a magnetic key box.  Extra difficulty is assigned for the stealth that may be required to make this find.
