This is the first cache to be placed
in my hometown of Smithville, Home of the Smithville Smithies, my
alma mater.
The cache is located in the village park. If you
are not from the area you get kudos just for finding the park.
Smithville is a great town with several little shops and a couple
great restaurants too. The cops are always on
alert so avoid adding to their ticket bounty by obeying the speed
limits.
The cache is a 9x9x3 plastic box full of goodies
for trading.
If you are visiting during the fall and winter
months (with no leaves to provide cover) be a bit stealthy when you
approach the cache, the area is bordered by the backsides of
several residences and you could be spotted but it's park property
and everything's legit, just don't look too weird poking around in
the trees. (oops, just gave a hint.)
Spring and summer cachers won't have to worry
about anyone in the houses seeing them. If there is a picnic in the
pavilion, you will definitely want to wait till later, OR
you can give the geocaching speech and possibly get some new
cachers involved in our
hobby.
