Geocache Description:

This is part of the SK8 Series. For more info on this series and its bonus cache, click here.


Back in the days of the Texas "Blue Laws", malls were closed on Sundays. Collin Creek Mall has a parking lot that seems like it was made for skating. Big rolling hills, curbs that are perfect for launching board and rider several feet in the air and a sloped wall along the east side.

We wasted many a Sunday afternoon kicking around this concrete haven. One fateful Sunday, one of my skate buddies did what skaters refer to as the "bar of soap". The board shoots out from under the skater, sending the feet out and up while the upper torso comes down hard and fast. Scott landed on the back of his head which resulted in a two and a half inch crack in his skull. He was rushed to Plano General Hospital and treated accordingly. He made a full recovery but it took him months to fully regain his full sense of balance.

This is a two part cache that will start you out near the sloped wall and then direct you across the street where you will be looking for a camoed beach tube. I didn't see any PI or thorns at the cache site, but either one could show up there. Also the final will likely be muddy if there are recent rains.
