I think it’s about time that we had a microcache in our area. Maybe
this isn’t a true micro, but it’s pretty small. It’s a ½ cup (4
oz.) Rubbermaid container, measuring about 3” in diameter by 3”
tall (Edit 10/17/2004: I have changed the category to
"small", which wasn't one of the options when I originally hid this
cache).
As such, I hid it in a place where you don’t have to do a lot of
walking, so you can spend your time searching. It’s in an Indianola
City Park, and is located in a spot where you’re not likely to be
bothered by muggles or the muggle police, so you can search in
peace. It is also in a place where I can check on it fairly often,
to make sure it is all right. There is room for very small trade
items, but don't knock yourself out trying to trade up. Just make
sure the lid snaps back on properly.
Park at N41° 21.963’ W093° 34.346’, or thereabouts.
UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2004: After several log entries
indicating that the container was easy to spot from some distance
away and was out in the open, I replaced the container. It is still
exactly the same as before, only painted a sort of woodland camo
color. Put another way for absolute clarity, it is no longer a
clear container with a white lid as it was when first hidden.
This will make it harder to find in the summer (more in line with
its 3 star rating) and easier in the winter, which I believe to be
a desirable thing.
Please take trouble to log Did Not Finds if that is the case, so I
can decide whether this is a change for the better.
