Geocache Description:

NO CACHE AT THE ABOVE COORDS, just parking. PEANUT BUTTER JAR cache is in Lion's Park on Irishtown Rd. Enter woods behind pavillion. DO NOT enter the woods by the baseball field as you would have to cross private property from here. You must first extract the cache coords from the tale told below. Feel free to e-mail me to confirm. Make sure to re-cammo the cache EXACTLY how you found it.

"I was driving north on highway forty with only one thing on my mind. The events of the past eight days had gone by in a blur, yet it seemed that it was a lifetime ago when Miss Smith (if that really was her name, which I had come to doubt) came into my office at seven seven nine West Eighty St. Her voice was steady as she spoke through a sultry, crimson half-smile, but I could see a tear-streaked face underneath her veil. She told me her story of flight from her husband who she had learned was none other than the city's notorious mobster, Big Tony. He accused her of having stolen money from his casino vault, but the woman claimed that wasn't the case. Now she feared that her husband's thugs had zeroed in on her whereabouts and that the two of them would undoubtably take her out. This gumshoe never lets a pretty lady down. I was on the case. Nine hours later, I had set up a meeting with Big Tony which turned out to be an ambush. I escaped within an inch of my life. The next few days were quiet. I couldn't get any leads until an anonymous note was slipped under my office door. Drive six or seven miles towards Lion's Park. The "cache" that you seek is hidden here."
