Park at the nearby small shopping center and walk to the very close coordinates to begin the adventure. This cache will require you to walk a little bit. It's not a park and grab, but won't take too long if you have the tech ready. About a .3 mile roundtrip walk.
There was a cache here for many years hidden by the Horsegeeks, a couple who are still in the area, but don't cache anymore to our collective disappointment. When their cache was archived, I decided to hide another here to help long time cachers remember the times we used to see them at every event and often for cache outings. The old cache here was named the Eclectic Micro because of the variety of things very near the hide location (Golf, restaurant, shops, greenway, cemetery).
The Horsegeeks are an eclectic couple themselves, with many varied interests and skills that seem to morph over time. I think they might have enjoyed an AR cache.
This is a small otterbox knockoff cache container. Shouldn't be too hard to find, but watch out that non-cachers don't see you retrieve/return the cache. Cover with leaves/pine straw to keep it hidden. Have fun!
