Description
I've placed some pretty evil puzzles out there (my ying), so now I'm putting out a short series of P&Gs to produce some yang to my caching energy. It has been a very long, cold and snowy winter. Not a great winter to pick to cache through trying to get to the alluring club of "Zombie Cachers". During this time I have found a variety of styles of caches from evil to easy and even a variety of "P&Gs" that range from the very basic to the very clever. When needing a cache late at night to continue the streak, I've truly come to appreciate the value of the P&G. They're also handy for trying to break personal best for number of caches in a day. To give back and help the other cachers streaking through this miserable winter I'm putting together a mini P&G series along Ward Ave. Ward Avenue runs parallel to the South Perimeter through much of the South St. Vital area. Simple enough except... it jumps... a LOT!!
This third cache in this mini-series takes you to the first hop that lands you in the RoyalWood area. Before last Spring 2013, the only thing on this section of Warde Avenue was deer. There are now some houses (condos?) up along here including one for the HSC lotto this spring. Truly loved this spot prior to development as I would come here at night in falltime with the kids prior to picking up my wife from work in the evening. 90% of the time we would see a small herd of deer counting around 10-12 in total. Reminded me of country drives at dusk in the interlake with my wife's grandparents on "deer" drives where we would sometime spot 30+ deer.
I was hoping to hide the cache on Warde itself but other cache proximities have forced the cache itself to be located a little north of Warde in a nice little area unto itself complete with resting option (for those rare few who have walked or biked here). It is worth the short walk to Warde Ave to check it out. Especially around dusk when the deer still seem to hang around this area that is being built up.

To preserve the caching experience, please replace the hide as found. Cordinates are an average of multiple attempts and fine tuned with google maps.
What's with the bracket stuff in the title you may be wondering?
It's simply my personal identifier. The last letter (or sometimes only letter) refers to the hide itself and choices will be:
Traditional style of hide - typically the hide should be a typical container hidden in a "typical" caching way
Kid friendly hide - child reachable, findable and room for tradeables. Aimed at the little cachers.
and Evil style of hide - Something about it that makes me rub my hands together maniacally in anticipation. Perhaps more unique camo, different hiding technique, lots of options at GZ...
If there is two letters together, the first will refer to the style of cache. Puzzle, Multi, Earth, Letterbox etc.
The number after the dash simply is the number of hides in that series for me. Don't expect this number to get too big.
Congratulations to the following cachers:
