On your right as you enter the culdesac #19 you are searching for the concrete stone wall surrounding a flowerbed with decorative grass plants in it. The cache is an orange container that is obviously seen from your car in the place of one of the large stones. Look for the four stones painted in geocache colors (orange, yellow, blue and green) Once you see that it's easily reached from the road. It's not necessary to enter any yards to retrieve this cache. If you do not see the orange box in the stones from the road it is a good sign somethings missing.
This cache is in honor of my friend, who shall remain nameless. He knows who he is and all the swag inside this cache will make sense to him.
This is a great cache for swag trading and for leaving trackables in as I can see it constantly. It is also viewable from our security cameras.

When I started caching back in early 2011 it became my escape from a life that wasnt going so well. In a little over three years I found around 15,000 caches and the majority of those I found with a couple geocaching friends from California. I was blessed to meet so many cachers from all over and I hosted an event in my yard in 2012 that became an accidental MEGA event, The Hatfield McCoy GeoTour.
I look back on that time and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that caching and the friends that I got from caching saved me. I don't cache today like I did. I generally find a few caches per year and sometimes I don't even log those. But it will always be something I love and remember fondly because of the amazing friendships I developed with cachers from around the world.
As a cacher the coolest thing to ever happen was when Signal the Frog was sent to my event in WV/KY to open the Hatfield McCoy GeoTour. I have said many times that when they write my obituary someday it should list that as a life event, LOL. Because it will always be one of the coolest things to ever happen to me. I still wear my hat given to me by groundspeak the month I was honored as the GEOCACHER OF THE MONTH in 2012.
Thank you for finding this cache. Enjoy
