Just Act Like a Tree Inspector Traditional Cache

Ms.CallaLily: Archiving this to make room for some new hides.

Thank you to all who searched for this geocache. I'm really surprised that it was only muggled once, being so close to the trail. I'm sure thousands of people have walked past this hide during the three years it was in place!

Geocache Description:

When I came out to the park to place this geocache, I was hoping it wouldn't be too busy.  It was Easter Sunday.  Everyone would be at church, spending time with family, hunting for Easter eggs, and eating Peeps and jelly beans, right?

Wrong!


Everyone was at this fabulous park!

There were families enjoying the gorgeous weather, dog walkers, joggers, hikers, kids on the playground, and fishermen.  

Admittedly, the weather was perfect after a long and dreadful winter, but this was crazy!  How would I hide geocaches here and get good coordinate readings when the place was absolutely crawling with muggles?

The answer? Try to wait 'em out. There was one dog-walker who was moseying along the trail with her three dogs as I was scouting out various locations. She passed me. I passed her. She passed me again. I passed her again.

Finally, I was able to complete my task. When I was finished, I approached the dog-walking muggle to tell her what I was up to. Turns out that she just thought I was a park employee inspecting the trees in the park.

 

You are looking for a peanut butter jar that is covered in camouflage duct tape.  It is hidden right next to the paved trail, but if you just act like a tree inspector, you might be able to avoid the suspicion of nearby muggles. Please bring a pen with you to sign the log too, but every good tree inspector should be carrying a pen and paper anyway.

PLEASE cover the cache with a bit of natural material before you leave. It's pretty easy for muggly eyes to see unless camouflaged a bit.

Park hours are dawn to dusk only.  No night caching.
