Geocache Description:

You are searching for a mini keychain pill container.  The cache is located in a lighly wooded area near an apartment complex, and there is parking available nearby. The cache is hidden with permission from the property manager, but stealth is still required.

In 2013, 6wiggies and I will have been married for 15 years.  6wiggies suggested hiding a series of 15 caches in places significant to our relationship, and I thought that was a great idea.  This is the seventh hide of the series.



Northbrook


Twenty years ago, I was a sophomore in college at the University of Alabama and 6wiggies was a junior at Brookwood High School, although she had recently moved to Northport (her grandparents lived closer to Brookwood and she stayed with them for much of the school year).  6wiggies and I were in church choir together and we had known each other for a year or two, but she was dating a classmate for all of that time.  Well, she and her boyfriend broke up just a few weeks before the BHS homecoming football game, and my aunt (who was also in the choir) asked her who was going to take her to homecoming.  When she replied that she had no plans, my aunt turned to my brother and me and said, "I'm sure one of these boys would take you."  Boldly, I replied, "I'll take you, if you can't find anyone better to go with."

Thus we had plans for our first date - October 29, 1993 - and our first kiss came later that night at nearby Northbrook Apartments building 29.  6wiggies lived at Northbrook with her mother and brother for the next two years until she became a student at UA, and we spent many long hours here together.

The cache is located away from the buildings, and you should be able to search for it without snooping close to anyone's apartment.

Congratulations to SMTroop90 for FTF!
