Geocache Description:

Micro (Some would certainly call it a small) hidden on International Geocaching Day 2015.

(This cache is hidden with a little bit of humor, a whole lot of snark and a true appreciation for the geocaching community I'm lucky enough to have been welcomed into.)


JessiShaffer- When I first won this container at the SEPAG Storms the Castle picnic, others seemed to be very happy for me including many that I didn’t even know.  But they shouldn’t have been.  Why?  Because I’m kinda a jerk.

I had no interest in hiding my first cache.  I groaned and accepted my prize.  I didn’t even really think of it as a prize but more of an obligation being forced on me.  I just thought “Darn these organizers for pulling my number!”  Why?  Because I’m kinda a jerk.

I took the container home and bitterly thought about where I might like to hide it.  I could do a nice easy park and grab in a guardrail.  Or maybe a lamp post cache in a parking lot?  Nah.  Why?  Because I’m kinda a jerk.

But certainly I could keep it away from areas where muggles like to hang out for hours.  I could put it well sheltered from view of a picnic area.  I could keep it away from benches where they like to rest.  Certainly could hide far away from view of anyone’s favorite fishing areas.  I could, but I didn’t.  Why?  Because I’m kinda a jerk.

Well at least I would make sure that part of it is completely visible at a glance.  I would hide it a place where you didn’t even have to leave the path.  I would find a place that didn’t require any climbing of any kind.  And that’s what I did.  Why?  Because I’m only kinda a jerk.

Contains log, pencil, sharpener and non-trackable mini geocoin for FTF.

Don't be a jerk. Please rehide EXACTLY as found.
