I've always thought this exact beacon needed a geocache. I finally found the perfect container. This is my first true urban hide and one of my favorite places in San Antonio. I've been here many many times across my almost 5 decades on the planet. One of my favorite places to eat is around back. BYOP. Log only. Special congratulations to my sweet geocaching friend Sparkyiv (Sparkles) for FTF honors.
This geocache is in honor of my wonderful, sweet, amazing student who I endearingly call Calabacita. She's also been known as Teeny Tina and Conejito. I love finding geocaches in honor of my favorite people in my life on their birthdays. Today , May 27th, is her birthday. She deserves a little more than a few finds in her honor. For my birthday this year, which was exactly just one month ago, she was the mastermind behind organizing a personal multi mystery geocache for me centered around our campus library. It was epic and all of my geocacher dreams came true during the hunt. The whole time I hunted, I wanted the journey to last forever so I could cherish the feeling and at the same time I wanted to solve the mystery immediately so that I could make the final find. No one has ever done anything so cool and thoughtful for me in my entire whole life. She and some of her fellow students hid it better than I ever could as a rookie geocacher or even now after geocaching for nearly a decade. None of them had ever found a geocache much less hidden one. They're knowledge nerds. They did their research. They did their homework. So this hide is for my exhaustedsnowflake - the cacher name she used to mock up an unpublished cache page for me. I hope mayhaps she comes to find it someday. She is a native daughter of San Antonio, so it's possible. Happy Birtbday my Teeny Tina. I love you and I'm so glad I get to entrust the future of my beloved profession to you. You are so much better than you think you are. I know you will go on and do things in this world that I never could and never will be able to within communities that I can't - because you already have.
Allow me to regale you with photos of an unpublished multi mystery geocache GCAPV7J Tower Treasures: A Scholar's Quest. It is my favorite geocache ever and the best gecocache that I will ever find.

WIthin the first stage, the clues for the second stage.
Stage 2, but what is it?
After some sleuthing, the final find. Oh what a hide! What my students didn't realize is that they're my greatest treasure.
