Geocache Description:

You are seeking a camouflaged spice container. You will either need to be very tall or have a geocaching buddy there to help you.

I came across this location while heading to (and back) from another cache in Connor Preserve and wondered why there wasn't any other caches along this route. I happen to have a few containers so I figured I'd place one here. Doing some maintenance on my other caches in Connor Preserve reminded me of other caches both here in Connor Preserve and also in Oakridge (which honestly I haven't attempted the latter one as of yet). The caches actual location is in plain site but you will need to put your childhood memories into play. Depending on your "skills" you will either need to be very tall, have a buddy to help you, or bring an additional tool. Fortunately I stand 6' 2" and didn't require a buddy or a tool to place the cache, but Jimmy Buffett's song "Growing Older But Not Up" certainly played in my head:
 

"I rounded first never thought of the worst
As I studied the shortstop's position
Then crack went my leg like the shell of an egg
Someone call a decent physician
I'm no Pete Rose, I can't pretend
While my mind is quite flexible
these brittle bones don't bend

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
So let the winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead"
 

Happy Hunting (and please be careful).
