txkos: Another one of my caches decided to run away. I'm glad someone out there thinks they are good enough to keep.

Geocache Description:


Maybe you thought the same thing as me....Frisco Needs More Bison Tubes!!  Okay, when I ordered some bison tubes online, I accidently clicked the quantity button and didn't realize it, there by doubling my order.  My mistake is your pain, I mean gain! 

 

Actually, I don’t like bison tubes that much.  You spend 20 minutes looking for the stupid things only to find them hanging 2 inches from where you were standing.  I don’t need that kind of geosense lacking confirmation.  Then there’s the wet log problem.  You spend your required 20 minutes finding them only to be rewarded with a lump of pulp for a log.

 

I’ve tried to eliminate these problems by 1) Placing the caches myself, so I don’t have to find them. Okay, the biggest obstacle is out of the way, but what about the others?  2) Each bison tube has a log vial, I used Teflon tape on the threads, and I used a “Hood” taping technique to cover the top and bottom seam.  3) And the last is for you nightcachers out there, the bottom of the tubes are marked with a UV pen. Just shine your UV flashlight (you do have one don’t you?) and the cache should stand out like a beacon!

 

Happy caching, and please put in your log if you found it via UV (I’m interested in hearing if it helped or not).  I have tried my best to make the coordinates as accurate as possible. If you believe they should be corrected, please by all means post them in your log.

About Paul: It could be a stretch to call his location a pond, but I had to tell him that to get him to stay.  He is not inside the enclosure, so don't even worry about that.  Paul likes to watch the ducks come and go.  He also likes to listen to the people sitting at the nearby bench talk about muggle stuff. Once you say hi to Paul, turn around and take a few minutes to enjoy this unique location.  It's amazing how a few trees can make you feel secluded.
