Geocache Description:

This little picnic table is surrounded by things that play a big part in our lives....and cause us to continually be in a hurry.


Banks, credit unions, restaurants, stop lights, "old folks" homes, fast food joints, car washes, grocery stores, hair cut shops, fingernail lounges, drugstores, and on and on....they are all around here for some reason.  Don't know why.  Things worked well when all this area was just plain old woods in the Hill Country.  Now, everything is different and all who pass by seem to be in a hurry. Again, I don't know why the changes brought about such a sense of urgency.

Take some time out of the frenzy of modern life to relax a little at a chained down picnic table placed out here all by itself and see if you can enjoy a little simple downtime time under a shade tree...There's some meaning here somewhere, but it escapes me because I'm simply too busy to pay attention to all this stuff and I'm in a hurry at the moment to go somewhere....will get back to you later when time allows....

Meanwhile, while you visit the coords to relax (bring a burger and fries or something), enjoy the large oak tree and the picnic table.  Both, together, allow some sense of calm and isolation in a very frenzied, non-private area of this used-to-be small town once in the middle of nowhere.  Enjoy it while you can...this place will only bring more and more mental agitation and stress as time, and our culture, advances.

This cache is complicated by the number of geocachingly (Bush 43 tells me that's really a word) obvious spots to place it.   Is it at the picnic table, the wall (which side?), the guard rail, the big tree, the small trees..or something not mentioned? 

For some reason, I'm all tensed up and not relaxed anymore just thinking about finding this cache and just can't take it anymore.  I'll have to go away for a while to calm down and will get back to you when I can get a little more relaxed.  Maybe I'll return to drop a hint when I calm down a little.

Meanwhile, relax and enjoy the (potentially) stressful hunt for the standard commercial aluminum bison tube ....and thanks for dropping by.
