Welcome to another installment of Classic Moments in Geocaching.
Today’s topic: Velcro
Bits.
Signal Good? Check. Correct cords? Check. Location matches
description? Check. Every possible spot checked and checked again?
Check. Find the cache? Err… no check. But wait… what’s that? Why…
it looks like… yes… it is… adhesive remnants from the geohiders'
best friend, Velcro! So what do you do? If you’ve ever been in this
situation, you’ve experienced Classic Moments in Geocaching
Scenario Number 9: Velcro Bits.
Have you ever found yourself looking under the same park bench
three times only to find the fuzzy half of Velcro staring back at
you? You can’t help but think, "The cache is gone… but I found
where it SHOULD be… maybe I can log it as a find". So what do you
do? Take the high road, claim the DNF and hope the owner replaces
the container? Heck no! Claim that find!
Hopefully this will not be a Scenario 9 cache for you since this
cache is not held in place with Velcro!
This cache and other fine caching moments made possible by
Medina’s Roscoe Ewing Park and the 1.1 mile multipurpose trail.
Best parking is at N41o 07.979' W081o
50.902', but if you find that lot full, check out N41o
07.859' W081o 50.747'.

Moments in Geocaching:
Medina’s Roscoe Ewing Park is open from 6AM to 11PM and pets are
welcome on a leash.
The park also houses a disc golf course. The cache is hidden
outside of where most discs go, but you may want to watch your head
while searching. The plus side? If anyone asks what you’re doing,
tell them you’re looking for plastic. They’ll assume it’s a lost
disc and let you on your merry way!
