This is a two part history lesson. Remember either junior high or middle school, depending on how old you are? Remember those salactious fake book titles and fake authors? How about "The Yellow Stream"? Remember the author? Well this is "Antlers in the Treetops." Remember that author? This is somewhat of a hint.
The second part of the lesson is the area you are in. Back in 1968 and continuing until 1988 or so, This was Mercury Plaza and the first mall on the Penninsula and maybe even in Tidewater. It was anchored by a Montgomery Wards (who remembers that store?) and on this end, free standing was the Giant Open Air Market, which has morphed into Farm Fresh. As Farm Fresh it caught fire about 1987-88 and was gutted and torn down. Soon the Plaza went down, too. And got rebuilt as you see it today. The cache container itself is a painted bison attached to something magnetic. Munchkin cachers will enjoy the magnetic, but keep them away from GZ. Co-ordinates came from three Garmins, a basic eTrex with manually average readings, a 64S and a 62S, both of which had averaged readings. Northing varied from 170 to 172 and Westing from 232 to 235. You will need to bring your own log signing device. There is an employee break area close by and a drive through pharmacy window. Delivery trucks come by from time to time. Some stealth is involved, but this is not a light pole in the middle of the parking lot. FTF gets a well deserved "mentioned in despatches." Enjoy.
Congratulations to KWrightVA for another FTF. So let it be written; so let it be done.
