CAUTION: A scorpion was spotted in the area while placing the cache. Not immediately at the cache, but along the stones waterside.

((((NEVER REPLACE A CACHE, LOG A 'DID NOT FIND'. Read more below))))
Walk, run, bike for some great exercise while geocaching. NOT meant at all to be done while in the car.
This run can be done at night too. Quite a safe and quiet area (though dark because the airport restricts street lighting). The "park" is noted to be closed at night but seems everyone ignores that and the cops don't care (spoke with one while placing another cache in the series).
Don't forget if you are using a smart phone you can download an app to track your hike. I can't (per Groundspeak rules) advertise any particular one, but some are quite neat.

NOTE ABOUT THROW-DOWNS:
I love the support of the geocaching community, but one trend needs to stop. Throw-downs. While your intention to help by replacing a missing container is good, it many times turns out bad. Please DO NOT replace a container someone else placed unless you got prior permission from the cache owner. What has happened is a throw-down is placed but the original is still there and then cachers that follow don't find the right cache. Or in some cases, the original cache is unique and part of the experience and a throw-down (often a cheap replacement) robs them of the experience.
